I know it’s not January 6th but I just did my nails and I wanted to remember to post something for her. If anyone wants to join in the movement paint your ring finger pink on January 6th to remember Leelah. Help prevent more things like this from happening. She didn’t deserve that. No one does. Reach out and help others. And always remember you have the power to make a change. You are not alone.

I suck at writing poems. Like I’ve had to write them for school and they always turn out total garbage. But I love poetry so I decided to write about something important. I recently heard about a possible terrorist attack in England near a mosque, and saw the disgusting reactions of Islamophobes on the internet. Often I feel so helpless because I’m only a teenager and I can’t make a difference in the world no matter how much I want to. I just felt like I needed to do this. This poem is gonna suck, I’m sorry but I felt obligated to for my own sanity so I don’t become depressed about the state of the world. Here it is: It’s been fifty years since the protest songs When will there be peace? All these problems make me want to scream Will hatred ever cease? We don’t even have to like one another Just accept our differences We all have our own beliefs and thoughts And our own unique appearances. The future looks abysmal Right from where I’m standing Why not attempt to solve big problems Is the answer I’m demanding. It’s okay to be selfish once in awhile We’re humans after all But once in awhile ground yourself Realize you’re small. But small does not mean useless Your impact can be great Go out, be understanding and kind So as not to fall prey to hate.

For 13 thousand dollars, Englishman Brandon Grimshaw bought a tiny uninhabited island in the Seychelles and moved there forever. When the Englishman Brandon Grimshaw was under forty, he quit his job as a newspaper editor and started a new life. By this time, no human had set foot on the island for 50 years. As befits a real Robinson, Brandon found himself a companion from among the natives. His Friday name was René Lafortin. Together with Rene, Brandon began to equip his new home. While René came to the island only occasionally, Brandon lived on it for decades, never leaving. By oneself. For 39 years, Grimshaw and Lafortin planted 16 thousand trees with their own hands and built almost 5 kilometers of paths. In 2007, Rene Lafortin died, and Brandon was left all alone on the island. He was 81 years old. He attracted 2,000 new bird species to the island and introduced more than a hundred giant tortoises, which in the rest of the world (including the Seychelles) were already on the verge of extinction. Thanks to Grimshaw's efforts, the once deserted island now hosts two-thirds of the Seychelles' fauna. An abandoned piece of land has turned into a real paradise. A few years ago, the prince of Saudi Arabia offered Brandon Grimshaw $50 million for the island, but Robinson refused. “I don’t want the island to become a favorite vacation spot for the rich. Better let it be a national park that everyone can enjoy.” And he achieved that in 2008 the island was indeed declared a national park. #easternexotics #island #islandboy #youcanmakeadifference #Wildlife #wildlifeeducation #Bloodhound #bird #tortoise #beonewithnature #makeachange (at Eastern Exotics Wildlife, Gemstones, & Oddities) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkB4r5aP0aw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
