Blue holes
Blue holes are giant and sudden drops in underwater elevation that get their name from the dark and foreboding blue tone they exhibit when viewed from above in relationship to surrounding waters. They can be hundreds of feet deep and while divers are able to explore some of them they are largely devoid of oxygen that would support sea life due to poor water circulation - leaving them eerily empty. Some blue holes, however, contain ancient fossil remains that have been discovered, preserved in their depths.

It is estimated that more animals die to meet current demand for fur trim than for entire fur coats: less fur per item is NOT less cruel.
This is why the fight to get foxtails, fur trim, and other fur accessories OUT of fashion is so important.

Totally horrified by this poll.

Please VOTE NO and send the message that FUR IS DEAD!

The fact that 57% of these people would wear this, and it doesn’t matter how they got they’re fucking fur is the most disgusting fucking thing.

Teen atheist abused via social media after prayer banner ruling

atheismfuckyeah:

Rhode Island: Teen atheist Jessica Ahlquist has faced a blizzard of taunts, abuse, and threats of physical violence after a federal court ruled a controversial Christian prayer banner hanging in her high school auditorium must come down.

On Friday, Rhode Island police began investigating the threats.

Jessica Ahlquist has been the public face behind a much publicized battle to remove the unconstitutional prayer banner displayed at Cranston High School West. Jessica, a student at Cranston High, has faced prejudice, adversity, and religious intolerance from Christian extremists in her fight to remove  the unconstitutional prayer banner.

 
The abuse and threats have only intensified since a federal judge ordered the “immediate removal” of the controversial Christian prayer banner located in the auditorium of Cranston High School West.
William HambyAtlanta Atheism Examiner, offers examples of the abuse and threats being directed against Jessica via social media. The following is but a small sample:
How does it feel to be the most hated person in RI right now? Your a puke and a disgrace to the human race.

shes not human shes garbage

I think everyone should just fight this girl

F**k Jessica alquist I’ll drop anchor on her face

Let’s all jump that girl who did the banner

But for real somebody should jump this girl

I want to punch the girl in the face

I hope there’s lots of banners in hell when your rotting in there you atheist f**k

jessica alquist is gonna get punched in the face

Screenshots capturing some of the abuse and threats directed towards Jessica can be seen at Jesus Fetus Fajita Fishsticks.
 
By standing up for what she believes is right, Jessica is paying a price. Yet despite the abuse from those who call themselves Christians, Jessica is not alone. Many in the secular community have rallied to Jessica’s defense. And many Americans appreciate Jessica’s courage in standing up for the  the separation of church and state  enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
 

For those interested, the Friendly Atheist is conducting aJessica Ahlquist college scholarship fundraiser.

"We are all animals of this planet. We are all creatures. And nonhuman animals experience pain sensations just like we do. They too are strong, intelligent, industrious, mobile, and evolutional. They too are capable of growth and adaptation. Like us, firsthand foremost, they are earthlings. And like us, they are surviving. Like us they also seek their own comfort rather than discomfort. And like us they express degrees of emotion. In short like us, they are alive."
