Sound changes when it snows. It seems quieter right after a snowfall because a blanket of fresh powder is absorbing the sound waves- but once the snow melts and refreezes, it then creates a reflective surface that amplifies sound by allowing it to travel farther than normal. Source Source 2

This racist white Martha decided she would harass two Latinas speaking Spanish and TANYA IS NOT HAVING IT TODAY!!!

C’mon now Ellen! You better put Susan in her place and do some heavy lifting to make up for your 53% sistren!

I have never in my life felt so blessed by hearing a white woman say “I’m calling the cops!” This is the only Bethanny I want near me; use your cop-calling superpowers for good, not evil.

The white woman who helped the women being harassed is Kamira Trent. The incident occurred in Rifle, Colorado.

The racist harassing two innocent women for speaking Spanish is Linda Dwire. After Trent rightly called the police to report Dwire’s threatening behavior and harassment, Dwire was arrested and charged with two counts of bias-motivated harassment. She maintains that she is not racist, just “patriotic” and believes that immigrants should be required to learn English to “prove” they “love” America enough to live here, and states that she frequently confronts random people in public for speaking languages other than English.

Kudos to Ms. Trent for using her white privilege to defend others being victimized by racist harassment. She urges others to “stand up and say something. Letting that [racist incidents like this one] happen is really what’s wrong with our country.”

The reality is as good as I hoped.

Do you like helping your community? Do you want an excuse to listen to The Adventure Zone for the fifth time? Want to help with TW: TAZ?

tw-taz:

The Adventure Zone is a transformative podcast with heavy overlying themes of community, familial love, and the power one has to uplift others. Why shouldn’t this message be available to all?

Recently, the fandom has had an incredible surge of support for image descriptions, and on my taz-centric blog, @class-tomorrow , I have been doing what I can to translate The Adventure Zone fan art into something more easily shared.

In the podcast itself, themes of violence, death, loss of family, and other potentially triggering or upsetting topics are sprinkled throughout, and while this may mean that some should avoid the podcast altogether, for others it means that they need to be prepared, episode by episode.

So how can you help?

I’ve broken The Adventure Zone down into six main categories, and 20 sub-categories. I do not want this to be a potentially triggering endeavor, so if you have already listened to an arc and know that it will be safe and healthy for you to do so, I urge you to apply to help! This would include listening to the episodes within this sub-category and taking note of any potentially triggering or upsetting events, themes, terms, or implied topics within that episode. Choosing a category can be as broad or direct as you need, anything from one episode to a full arc, if you feel up to it!

But what if you haven’t listened, or you know that TAZ contains potentially upsetting themes? You can still help! Send an ask – anonymous or otherwise, or a message to this blog with a trigger you’d like us to look out for, or a specific warning for an episode that you’d like to pass along to other listeners, and we’ll make an effort to catch those as they come.

This post will be split into several more short and specific posts for accessibility reasons, as I know a block of text is essentially poison to the overwhelmed brain. (Don’t believe me? I’ve been anxious-stimming during my whole proofread!)

Thank you for your help, even if that just means promoting the blog. I am sincerely grateful, and excited to make a difference.
