I just wanna talk to whoever thought this was a good idea

This is probably even more shady than it seems. They raise the rates and then less people go. Low attendance numbers leads to that park getting less attention and less money. This discourages new parks and devalues current parks. Then the government can be like “lol people don’t care about nature let’s drill” Parks and libraries should be free places for people to enrich themselves, but smart sheep aren’t worth anything 🐑

^^^This. It’s why they’re also slashing park funding. According to the linked article, the current budget proposal includes:

  • Cutting base operating funding by $132 million, affecting at least
    90 percent of parks. This includes cuts to law enforcement, health and
    safety, natural and cultural resource projects, and volunteer and youth
    programs.
  • Cutting 1,242 staff positions.
  • A 37 percent cut to the Historic Preservation Fund.
  • A drastic cut to federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, which
    helps parks purchase private lands within park boundaries from willing
    sellers that would otherwise be vulnerable to inappropriate commercial
    or residential development.
  • Elimination of the National Heritage Area program, which preserves
    large historic landscapes managed through innovative partnerships.

Combined with the drastic rate hike, it’s hard to see this as anything other than a ploy to force park closures. 

This proposal is currently open for public comments and will be open until November 23.

Comments can be written by anyone. You don’t have to live in America.

Please write a comment saying how much you love the parks or a certain park or why you think this is a bad idea. If you don’t live in America write something about how you travel here to see the parks or how you wish that your country had a park service like America (the American government loves having its ego stroked)

Public comments are the only thing the park service is going to see. They aren’t going to see how many notes this post gets, they’re going to look at that comments page to see how many people they would tick off it they did this. So please, reblog this post but go comment, it’s the only way to let the parks service know how you feel.

PLEASE do this ^^^

PLEASE go comment!!!

forthegothicheroine:

I was just thinking about that video of a crowd spontaneously singing all of “Bohemian Rhapsody”, and the documented phenomenon of everyone singing as soon as it plays or one person sings one bar.

You can call it a meme or a mind virus or an ear worm, but I think there’s a better way to think of it: The Queen in Yellow.

  • a beekeeper in france that owns lavender fields and makes lavender honey
  • isolated writer with a fireplace and a big picture window overlooking snowy mountains
  • widow of a rich man who died of suspicious causes but still left everything to her, villas and vineyards and beach houses and all
  • mysterious village witch who is rarely ever seen, never seems to age, and is known for curses and helping women in need
  • crazed maenad following Dionysus to participate in rituals that may or may not include animalistic murder and orgies

Tumblr:  We want complex villains! 
Tumblr:  But they can’t do anything villainous or complex ever. 

My favorite quote on this is Lemony Snickett when a school district banned his book due to the marriage plot by the villain.

He merely responded

“I’m sorry, but I’m at a loss on how to write a villain that doesn’t do villainous things.”
