Star Wars Day Giveaway!
Two weeks from today is May 4th, also known as Star Wars Day. On that day I will be randomly selecting THREE winners from a list randomizer, which will contain the URLs of whoever reblogs this post. There will be three categories of items to choose from:
Category 1
Star Wars AT-AT American Apparel T Dress (Size Large)
Boba Fett Tunic Tee (Size Large)
Category 2
R2-D2 iPhone 4 Decal Skin
Boba Fett iPhone 4 Decal Skin
Category 3
Vintage Star Wars Episode I Pinback Buttons
The Jedi Path (Hardcover book)
The first person picked will get to choose one item from each category (giving them three items). The second person will get to choose two items from what is left. The third person will receive the last item (sorry if you end up disliking it, but free Star Wars stuff is better than no Star Wars stuff!)
**To keep things fair and from getting crazy, I will only count your name FIVE different times (if you choose to reblog it that many times), and no more than that.** You do NOT have to be following me to win. This giveaway is just for fun, to support our favorite franchise, and to add some extra happiness to Star Wars Day! If you are confused or have any questions, feel free to message me.
May the fourth be with you! :3I’m sorry everyone but I’ll be reblogging this a bunch
The Secret of the Ooze: Two Years After the Spill
Al Jazeera has a frightening, damning, and infuriating report on the ongoing damage to the Gulf of Mexico ecosystems since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It’s been nearly two years since the Macondo well was ruptured, spilling almost 5 million barrels of oil and requiring almost 2 million barrels of dispersants to clean it up.
Fishermen are reporting shrimp catches full of eyeless shrimp, as well as fish and shellfish with oozing sores and black gills. The damage doesn’t seem limited to oil, either. Manganese-heavy drilling mud and dispersant lefotvers are showing up at even higher rates than petroleum.
Head over to Al Jazeera to read the full article. The Gulf has not recovered, and it will likely take most of a lifetime to do so. It’s important that scientists continue to get financial support to monitor the area and that the government keep pressure on BP to do their part. Not just this year, but until the mistake is fixed.
This is one of the most diverse and fruitful ecosystems in America, and we must repair it.
This does not bode well for my diet.
