(through gritted teeth) i love being out of my comfort zone it is necessary for my personal development
Earth is just too loud, i wish i could go to the moon
Natalie Díaz, from “American Arithmetic”, Postcolonial Love Poem (2020)
The Amazon Rainforest is under a massive threat. I know you've heard this a million times, but this is different. There is a piece of legislation that will decimate the rights of Indigenous people of Brazil, who have been protecting the rainforest. It's unfathomably bad. It has majority support. And they're voting tomorrow. As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."
The thing you can do—and I know this sounds overly simple—is sign this petition—and tell your friends to do the same: SIGN HERE.
As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."
Again, this bill has majority support. You may be wondering, why will a petition signed by people who don't live in Brazil make any difference? Because it will give those opposing it political air cover. It will show the world is with them.
But we need a LOT of signatures.
Please do this simple act and spread the word.
tbh when someone tells me that if i lose weight/body fat im gonna lose my period too, it’s a win-win situation for me
okay, hold on now. i think we need to count on fingers exactly how many powers nico has because as much as i loved tsats i think oshiro and rick really depowered him in the book as compared to the previous ones.
(no tsats spoilers, except for the third and fourth bullet points under 'will can'.)
nico can:
(titan's curse) make cracks appear in the ground and summon skeletons from the underworld.
(battle of labyrinth) summon and control spirits with some chanting.
(battle of labyrinth) cleave the ground open with his sword, and send spirits back to the underworld even if they don't wanna go.
(battle of labyrinth) control the earth. he made those boulders collapse by clapping his hands. i think rick just forgot about it later tbh.
(battle of labyrinth) kill people just by staring at them (daedalus), given that they've been cheating death for 2000 years or so.
(last olympian) wield stygian iron, call hordes of skeleton soldiers to fight titans, and shadow travel.
(blood of olympus) project his negative emotions onto people to such an extent that it disorients them and makes them nearly faint. lower the temperature (what).
(blood of olympus) TURN PEOPLE INTO GHOSTS BY LOOKING AT THEM AND THEN SEND THEM INTO THE UNDERWORLD VIA FALLING STRAIGHT DOWN.
(blood olympus) CONTROL DREAMS. UHM. TF. (remember reyna looking at him and going 'just how powerful is this kid?')
(blood of olympus) overpower six fully armoured roman warriors in swordfighting and knock them all out in ten seconds flat.
(tower of nero) turn indestructible bulls into a living carcass that follows his every command.
(tower of nero) actually make a human's skin wither away until they're a mindless skeleton that again follows nico's every command. yes, you read that right, he can turn people into walking skeletons just by touching them.
nico can't:
not eath blue birthday cake.
might have missed some but that list is long. i once again am furthering my 'nico is the most powerful demigod alive rn' agenda. oh, and we can't not mention will solace in a post about nico di angelo.
will can:
heal people with hymns.
glow in the dark.
shoot out light from his chest. (he's so cringe, i love him.)
give the protogenos of night a very snotty hay fever.
will can't:
play violin.
refuse to give nico forehead kisses.
Me @ myself anytime I open my mouth:
Will: babe!! babe do the thing
Nico: *genuinely smiles*
Will, breathlessly: oh my gosh
