A Black Owned business & important community theatre needs your help!
Samuel E. Wright was the voice of Sebastian the Crab and the original Mufasa on Broadway, he was a two-time Tony Nominee and owner of the Hudson Valley Conservatory in New York until his recent death.
HVC is a community theatre and school that never turned potential students away, regardless of their socioeconomic background or their ability to afford classes. They still continue this practice and managed to stay open during the pandemic, but now they’re in need of some assistance.
Please share or donate if you can - anything helps! Let’s keep this beautiful community and Sam’s legacy alive.
okay, first off - I didn’t realize that Sebastian the Crab passed away!! that man was legit a legend.
second, as a former dancer / theatre kid myself, I can honestly say that I would be nowhere near the person I am today without my hometown theatre/dance school. so seeing one in need - especially a Black-owned business - breaks my heart!!
After quite a while, I finally managed to adapt these fun shark anatomy illustrations to Redbubble products! Many asked me to make posters or art prints available for sale and it is now possible in my little store! This is my store’s profile! ✨
I tried to adapt these arts to other products, but I think they were very ugly, so focus on looking for poster, art print or stickers options! I hope you like it and that the price offered by Redbubble is affordable!
In the future I want to make other species of sharks! Thanks a lot for all support! ✨
If you want to follow me on instagram, this is: @AstralRequin
Edit: I am very glad with the support of all of you! I really appreciate the sweet comments and tags, especially from those who said that my art helped to reduce their fears about sharks, I hope to always inspire people in that way! Thanks a lot!
✨
this person is VERY excited about sharks and i admire that
this sounds suspiciously like an ask someone who wants to eat the snoms would send, but i will give you the benefit of the doubt, here you go :) *hands you a snoms*
i don’t know what these are but they look DELICIOUS
I find it hilarious that denmark has to stoop to ragging on the finns (instead of doing it for I guess shits and giggles like the others), because all the other nordic languages rag on them for sounding like they’re mumbling with a mouth full of marbles. XD
Oh! Oh! That’s because Finnish is from a different language family! The Uralic languages!
:D
Yup! The roots of the majority of European and many nearby languages is Indo-Eropean, which is the root of everything from English to Russian to Hindi to Persian and more!
Finnish however, as you said, has its roots in a different branch than Indo-European, the Uralic languages. There aren’t many of them - Finnish, Hungarian, and Estonian are the most widely spoken, but there’s a handful of others as well, mostly spoken by local ethnic groups in northern Scandinavia and Siberia.
Poles and Lithuanians eying one another across the table xD
Every time I come across posts like these I’m just reminded of the beautiful infographics made by Minna Sundberg
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters voted Thursday in favor of a resolution to make “building worker power at Amazon and helping those workers achieve a union contract” a main priority, according to a copy of the resolution. Under the resolution, called the “Amazon Project,” Teamsters would fully fund the effort, which would include eventually creating a special Amazon Division to aid workers.
Teamsters said that 1,562 delegates out of 1,632 representing more than 500 local unions voted in favor of the resolution.
…
The Teamsters, which represents 1.4 million US workers including UPS workers, said in the resolution that “Amazon is changing the nature of work in our country and touches many core Teamster industries and employers such as UPS, parcel delivery, freight, airline, food distribution and motion picture, and presents an existential threat to the standards we have set in these industries.”
Like, this could legitimately be huge. I’m tentatively extremely excited about what this might mean for the future.

i have never made a post like this before but i haven’t seen anyone here talk about it yet so i want to at least provide some links because this is extremely important for disabled people with or without benefits in the USA.
she doesn’t name the bill in the video but in the comments it’s clarified that the act referred to is the SSI Restoration Act of 2021.
“The Supplementary Security Income (SSI) Restoration Act of 2021 has been introduced in both the House and the Senate. The bill would improve the lives of millions of SSI beneficiaries around the country, including over 2 million older adults who are living below the federal poverty level due to inadequate benefit levels, and often lose or are denied benefits due to outdated eligibility rules.” (link) - summary from Justice In Aging, an organization dedicated to fighting senior poverty
“This bill restores a program that plays a key role in the security of millions of Americans. Specifically, it modernizes and improves SSI by streamlining and simplifying the claiming process, expanding the resources and income limits, and eliminating punitive reductions in benefits.” (link) - summary from the SSI Restoration Act Section by Section, linked on Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva’s website, in the social security tab
below is taken from the issue brief on justiceinaging.org regarding what the bill entails
• The SSI benefit rate will be increased to at least 100% of the Federal Poverty Level, adjusted annually, so that no one receiving SSI will be left to live below the poverty line.
• Couples will receive their full SSI benefit, totaling twice the individual rate, rather than a reduced marriage penalty rate.
• Low-income seniors and people with disabilities who can’t work enough to meet all their basic needs will be able to save up to $10,000 and couples will be able to save up to $20,000 for emergencies such as car repairs, new roofs, and other unexpected expenses, without losing benefits.
• Individuals will be able to receive up to $128 monthly from other sources, such as Social Security benefits or pension payments, without a corresponding loss in benefits.
• Individuals who are able to work will be able to earn up to $416 a month without being penalized.
• Individuals who live in households with others, including family members, will no longer be penalized with lower benefits through the in-kind support and maintenance provision.
• Individuals who transfer assets (even small amounts of money to a family member) will no longer suffer harsh penalties.
• Eliminate installment payment requirements and extend the time to spend down resources so that SSI recipients who have been waiting for months or years to obtain their benefits can receive the full overdue amount.
• Exclude retirement accounts from countable resources to allow people with disabilities to build up their savings for retirement and use those resources to pay for expenses in later life.
• State and local earned income tax credits and child tax credits will be excluded from income calculations in the same manner as general tax payments.”
