#SaveTheTrees

I feel like an important message is trying to be communicated to me but I have no idea what it is

Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow! One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! This is super useful for so many things, especially paper production! In addition, hemp takes in carbon dioxide 4x as fast as trees do, which makes it especially valuable in the act of reducing CO2 emissions/greenhouse gases! 🌲🌲🌲 source 

#the scope of the anti-hemp conspiracy in the united states is terrifying once you start doing research tbh#like it was initially smeared/banned bc lumber lobbyists pushed for it to be…#and a major smear tactic was to associate it with black people#who now a hundred years later are the ones primarily being imprisoned for it#and the plant itself has now been inextricably linked to the drug so people won’t even allow for it to be grown for commercial purposes#like paper making (via literallyfuckeveryone)

Important reminder that industrial hemp can’t be used as a recreational drug, so if anyone tries to pull that card you can just stop them then and there. There are no real arguments against using industrial hemp, even if you’re rigidly against the legalization of any recreational drugs.

For a true hero isn’t meaused by the size of his strength, but by the size of his heart. 

Did you know that, even today, trans people are often denied access to gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) unless they can obtain authorization from a mental health provider?     Many clinics still operate under the “standard model of care,” creating challenging hoops for trans people to jump through before they can receive the healthcare they need. In other words, this model of care says that trans people cannot consent to receiving hormones for themselves.    

This deep and complicated history is part of what led our founder to start Plume, a virtual healthcare service by trans people, for trans people. We believe that gender-affirming hormone therapy should be treated the same as any other medical treatments. You don’t need a mental health provider’s consent to get a flu shot, diabetes treatment, or to get your appendix removed. Gender-affirming hormone therapy should be treated the same.     Informed consent means we never ask patients to provide authorization from a mental health provider, eliminating up to years of waiting and thousands of dollars in excessive costs. We trust our patients to make the best decisions for their transitions.     Read more about informed consent on our blog: https://getplume.co/blog/what-is-informed-consent/
