[ID: A screenshot of a Tweet by orbuch, aka Ryan Orbuch. It reads, “Here’s your reminder that the whole idea of a personal carbon footprint was a targeted BP media campaign in 2005 and it worked so well that it seems like we’ve all forgotten this.” Orbuch includes a screenshot of an article with text highlighted, which reads “The concept of the ‘personal carbon footprint’ was popularized by BP in a 2005 media campaign costing over $100 million - a campaign that, research has indicated, deflected responsibility for climate change away from the corporation and onto the individual consumer.” End ID.]

Placing the cup up against ya forehead was the cheat code

King shit

This is actually insanely useful tho

rb for anyone that might need them!!

did you know that in 1953 eisenhower issued an executive order which banned gay people from being employed in government

and it was specifically to root out lesbians who enjoyed the job security of government work

“To protect their careers, lesbian government workers moderated their behavior to avoid suspicion. They refused to socialize with other lesbians in public, attended social functions with gay men as their ‘dates,’ and carefully chose their wardrobes and makeup to project a feminine persona. Male employees who resented reporting to a female boss could trigger an investigation into her sexuality.” - Robert J Corber “Cold War Femme”

this era was called the lavender scare and was both a direct result of mccarthyism and the classification of homosexuality as a mental illness during ww2. over 10,000 lesbians and gay men lost their jobs and as a result the daughters of bilitis (the first ever lesbian activist group in the u.s.) formed in order to protect themselves and gay men

Important history

and it’s John Kerry’s apology for these events that was removed from the State Department website days after Trump took office
