FBI Says Activists Who Investigate Factory Farms Can Be Prosecuted as Terrorists →
By Will Potter
The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force has kept files on activists who expose animal welfare abuses on factory farms and recommended prosecuting them as terrorists, according to a new document uncovered through the Freedom of Information Act.
This new information comes as the Center for Constitutional Rights has filed a lawsuit challenging the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) as unconstitutional because its vague wording has had a chilling effect on political activism. This document adds to the evidence demonstrating that the AETA goes far beyond property destruction, as its supporters claim.
Wtf?

A spanish designer Martin Azua has designed an Awesome Urn which Will Turn You into a Tree After You Die
His urn is made from coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose and inside it contains the seed of a tree.
Once your remains have been placed into the urn, it can be planted and then the seed germinates and begins to grow. You even get the choice to pick the type of plant you would like to become, depending on the kind of planting space you prefer.
I just want to reblog this kind of post again.
I want to be a tree.
I was just talking to someone about eco burial. There is an orchard that has been donated as an eco cemetery. I wish I could find the article on it.
this is kind of a beautiful idea.
I’m gonna be a Rowan tree.
I’m gonna be a Willow.
This is fantastic. Willow for sure!
willow or cotton tree would be cool
I wanna be a tree!!

I realize some people may not know this, but using the word gypped (sometimes spelled “gipped”) to refer to being cheated is a racial slur. It recalls centuries of prejudice and abuse against Gypsies, which is what the word comes from. It’s on the level of “Indian giver”…
Semantics argument: Is it a racial slur if NO ONE has any idea of it’s origin? I had no idea about the word “gypped” but now I do.
