This might seem fun for some people, but for us it’s not.
You see, Palawan is known for its non-commercialized islands and untouched beaches. There are only a few resorts in there, and the government limits tourism population there. Here are some pictures of our beautiful islands:
Nickelodeon, however, wants to capitalize the island of Coron, Palawan. They’re going to build a resort and theme park there. They claim that they want to “spread environmental awareness” but they’re really not. Building this resort will disrupt the marine ecosystem; thus destroying the environment there. Also, Palawan is our last ecological frontier in the Philippines. If they’re going to continue to do this, more and more big companies will cash-in to commercialize Palawan- and I really do not want that to happen.
I know petitions won’t do much, but at least we can prove a point that Palawan should not be disrupted. Please sign this petition, so that it will not only show that us Filipinxs don’t want this, but people from different countries as well. Please spread it around as well, so that people from different countries can be aware of what Nickelodeon is doing.
Ang aming kalikasan ay hindi dapat sirain. Maraming salamat po.
Gotta spread this myself. I’m Filipina and the conservation of home is incredibly important to me. Pollution is already a huge issue throughout the country’s cities. Many islands including Palawan are home to not just beautiful nature but some of the last of our untouched, uncolonized heritage.
wtf
NO. PLEASE NO. I LEGIT CRIED WHEN I READ THE NEWS ARTICLE. The article is in a legit news network. It’s not fake. MY CHEST HURTS AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY. The developers say it won’t hurt the environment but artificial structures are artificial structures. PLEASE. PLEASE. NO.
I CAN ONLY HOPE THE PETITION IS GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I SIGNED IT SO FAST.
EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT FILIPINO, PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST. PLEASE.
I just. I don’t like this view of “millennials vs Gen Z”. This is NOT supposed to be a competition of who got fucked over the most and who’s “actually fighting back”.
Millennials are fighting back just by surviving in a job market where the minimum wage doesn’t cover the living cost. Millennials are awesome at “killing” the diamond, golfing and napkins industries. Millennials are using the internet to make sure things that corporations want to keep in the dark are exposed. They’re open LGBTQIA-friendly business, they’re supporting each other with online donations so everyone can survive this shitty economy.
And the Gen Z kids? The Gen Z kids are rad. I remember a post about something like the millennials making a collective promise to never become a disenchanted generation that only criticizes the next one and I want to point out that this “millennials vs gen z” trend is trying to do exactly that: split us apart. Prevent millennials from being the older siblings that teach the younger siblings to throw a good punch and turn them into the annoyed adult complaining about “those kids” on their lawn. We are the two groups that grew in a connected world of information. We are two very unique generations.
I think that it’s our duty for us millennials, as a disrespected, underpaid, very angry generation to stand up by our younger siblings, and fight together the oppressive systems that brought us all to this point.
They’re trying very hard to pit Millennials and Gen Z against each other because I honestly think they’re terrified of what the two will accomplish together.
GenX, circa 1990: Shit, organizing is hard work. My parents just want me to study and ‘get a good job’ like they did, and I can’t get my message out beyond these zines I keep leaving at the coffee shop. 300 people at a protest is a big deal. *studies developing tech, starts building communication and information exchange platforms, settles down to a day job but doesn’t stop trying to change the world, takes up blogging. Eventually figures out self-care*
Millennials, circa 2001: OK, there’s got to be a better way to communicate and network to organise. Emailing everyone is just so damned tedious, and I can’t really share blogs . I try to talk to my family about what’s important, and they’re busy with their own shit. *works on developing social media, builds more collaborative communities, gets into encrypted apps and communication platforms. Can’t get day jobs in field, so ends up in high-turnover employment like teaching*
GenZ: This shit can’t stand. OK, everyone, put the word out on social media that we’re walking out of class to protest. Start making videos and putting them out there. We have shit to say.
Millenials respond: We have spent the last decade becoming strong and active voices for justice and activism. Now we have millions of followers and we’ll amplify you and support you.
GenX responds: A lot of us are your parents. We raised you on a steady diet of hero and heroine stories about faith and perseverance, and many of us never gave up our quiet rage. We’ll pack you a lunch, make sure you’re wearing good shoes for the protest, and remind you to wear sunscreen and not to use swears in news interviews.
There’s not a contest between the generations for who the ‘real activists’ and the ‘real voices for justice’ are.
We’ve been waiting for you, kids. Not to save us. To join us. ]
So I recently hit a follower milestone (or a few, but I’ve been too busy to do anything about it). I’m super grateful for everyone who has decided to follow this mess of a blog.
Thank you for following. I appreciate you all.
Anyway, I wanted to celebrate my amazing followers, so I’m doing a giveaway.
The winner gets to request a drawing (max 2 characters, simple background/setting) OR a fic of at least 1,000 words (YOI/Voltron, most ships).
You must be following me. (I will check. If you reblog this post to a side blog, make sure your side blog’s bio mentions the main blog you are following from.)
Every like or reblog counts as a ticket in this raffle, comments do not count. (So if you like and then reblog two times, you have three tickets.) I will use a random number generator to select the winner from the people who have liked/reblogged this post.
In addition, I will select another winnerfrom reblogs with something funny. That means you yourself can affect the result. So reblog andadd your favorite funny YOI/VLD joke/meme/video/art/fic/screencap or whatever. It can be a link or embedded in the post. Just add something funny from either of these fandoms, and you’ll be up for another possibility to win! For this I’ll be completely self-indulgent and personally select the one I find funniest; make me (and anyone else who stumbles upon your reblog) laugh! 😀
To recap: one winner will be selected completely by random from all the likes and reblogs, another winner from those who participated by adding something funny to their reblog.
The winners will be selected on Saturday, March 31st at 12PM (noon) GMT.
I will contact the giveaway winners via direct message on tumblr to ask for their art/fic prompt so make sure you have messaging enabled. There are some things I am not willing to draw or write and I reserve the right to ask the winner for another prompt if I’m not comfortable with the request (for example, I will not write noncon/dubcon). I mostly dabble in the YOI/Voltron fandom, but for art, the winner can request other fandoms as well (as long as references are available). For writing, I’m restricted by what I know, so I’m limiting fic requests to YOI/VLD.
(I will be reblogging this post quite a few times, so if you don’t care to see it, you can blacklist the tag “worldofcopperwings giveaway” so you don’t get flooded with this post.)
