According to Pew Research from April last year, 53% of Americans favor stricter gun control laws, though those policy perspectives are shaped by age, race, major party affiliation and gun ownership. Three in 10 Americans own guns and they tend to be White, male and Republican. Rural residents favor more access to guns and those who live in cities prefer more restrictions. While a majority of Americans believe in common sense gun control, the will of the people has been hijacked by the NRA's enormous power, whose influence over the Republican Party (and some conservative Democrats) is near absolute. Politicians, such as Utah senator and former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, have expressed grief over the children lost in Uvalde in one breath, while simultaneously accepting money and support from the NRA in the other.

Its kinda cool how Jade lives on an island in the middle of the ocean and Kanaya lives in an oasis in the middle of a desert. They both live in the middle of nowhere and maybe that says something about space players but maybe it also says something about the internet connecting people from bumfuck nowheresville to insufferable pricks who live in the city and to really cool alternative girls who like cats and to weird suburban kids with bad tastes in movies

hc that adam is a reaaally picky eater but is endlessly embarrassed about it. and he'll try to force himself to eat stuff that he hates just to be polite or not waste it, but when ronan catches him doing this, immediately takes the food away and gets him something else. which pisses adam off, and they fight about it. but he's secretly (very secretly, and very begrudgingly) touched.

the terrifying moment of realization when talking to a self proclaimed Leftist when you can immediately tell “oh. this person has never done an hour of community service in their life.” like. i know it’s been said before but your politics truly do not matter if you’re not interacting with your community in any way. you can vote in every single election and it will not have a fraction of the impact of 17 year old tyler who got sentenced to 20 hours of picking up litter and weeding the community garden. you can never once vote out of protest and read piles of theory and not come close to making the change that the group of 80 year old catholic ladies at St. Mary’s on the corner do with their weekly community meals and school supply drives. we live in the rotting corpse of an evil empire. ideas mean fucking nothing. the only thing that matters at all is physically extending a hand to try to help the people around you.

[ID: the results of searching ‘Korra’ on the app Hoopla. Six of the options is for the comic The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars and one is for the comic The Legend of Korra: Patterns in Time. In the center of the results is a book titled ‘Deflating Depression’ by Korra O'Neil. The book is unrelated to the animated series yet still seems appropriate. END ID]

Hey Blog
Had a dream last night where I ran a very extensive and well-written blog but on Twitter.
I then thought to myself "Why don't I do this on Tumblr"
So hi <3

Roundtable 2: Post-crisis urban recovery.
In the prevailing economic situation, local governments have faced increased difficulty to gain increased access to external resources to fund their development.
The local finance framework integrates three key solutions to facilitate this access:
Cities Investment Facility (CIF)
UN-Habitat/UNCDF Guarantee Facility for Sustainable Cities
Rapid Own Source Revenue Analysis (ROSRA)

World Habitat Day is held on the first Monday of October and launches Urban October. The day centers around the global observance, which is held in a different country each year with keynote speakers and roundtable discussions focused on a specific theme. World Habitat Day was first celebrated in 1986 in Nairobi, Kenya, with the theme 'Shelter is my right'.
