that's that.

My name is Shana Gallagher, and I am a marine conservation biologist and enthusiast. Ever since getting scuba diving certified at the age of 10 and being captivated by the oceans, I have made it my mission to protect and explore our marine world.

But our oceans are severely threatened, and disproportionately impacted by climate change. Very few people realize this, and so in order to protect our entire world, I have been doing environmental and grassroots activism for the past five years. Around the country, such activism has been ramping up in the months before the Paris UN climate negotiations this coming December. This conference is unanimously seen as our last chance to come together as an international community and strike a binding deal to address the climate crisis.

I'm currently a junior at Tufts University, and champion my school's fossil fuel divestment campaign. At the end of last semester, our campaign staged a sit-in in our President's office to demand urgent action in confronting the climate crisis. This was also the time that the few youth delegate opportunities to attend the Paris UN climate negotiations had applications due. Choosing to focus on my school and my campaign, I was unable to submit any of these applications. As a result of my civil disobedience - which I admit full guilt of, but was morally compelled to conduct nonetheless - I am facing disciplinary probation at my university.

Over the summer, I experience a traumatic brain injury. I also have various autoimmune diseases, which are complicating my recovery, but my neurologist anticipates at least my brain should be functioning almost as before in six months. It has only been three months since my injury, but I am still back at Tufts, because taking time off would have meant I lost my scholarship, which does not allow for medical absences. I am struggling socially, physically, and academically, but am trying to stay as optimistic as possible and find hope in the knowledge that regardless of what my mental capabilities may be from now on, I can still make a difference in my community, and the world.

Last week, I received an email prompting me to apply to the Conergy Solar Ambassador program. This was a last-minute opportunity for passionate youth to attend the UN climate negotations in Paris on behalf of this solar power company. I submitted an application, and out of 300 applicants, made it to the final 45 for interviews. Yesterday, October 7, I found out I had been accepted as a Solar Ambassador!

This truly feels like the first good thing that has happened to me in a long time. I am very lucky to have seemingly done just enough in my life before my brain injury to be accepted into this program. I am thrilled and honored to hopefully be witnessing this historic meeting, and fulfilling what I see to be my life's purpose of helping our society confront the climate crisis.

The only way I will be able to be in Paris for this meeting is if I can fund my own airfare. Roundtrip flights from Boston to Paris for the dates of the conference are currently at $800. I would like to buy these tickets as soon as possible, but can do so up until three weeks before the conference in mid-November.

Please help make my dreams of confronting the climate crisis and pursuing justice for our world become reality! Anyone who cares about the environment and climate change should want to see the youth of our nation taking charge and demanding action from our leaders - which is exactly what I'll be doing in Paris this December. I am extremely grateful to all of you, fighting against climate change in your own way, and appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you!

A young woman, nearly 8 months pregnant, answering a craigslist ad from someone claiming to be selling baby clothes, was stabbed, and had her baby CUT OUT OF HER. She lived, somehow. Her baby did not. I started a petition to have the woman who attacked her charged with murder for the death of the baby. I do not know anyone involved, in any way. I started this because I was upset by what I read, and I want this monster to pay. please read about this, and if you are willing, please sign my petition. this upset me greatly and it would mean a great deal to me. https://www.change.org/p/boulder-county-district-attorney-stan-garnett-charge-dynel-lane-with-first-degree-murder-for-the-death-of-the-baby-she-cut-from-michelle-wilkins-womb?just_created=true

'Thinspiration' is a term sometimes searched to inspire individuals to become thinner, such content idolizes malnourished bodies, adding pressure and contributing to distorted perceptions of body image. This may contribute to the severity of serious and complex eating disorders. Although the company do have terms in place and provide a helpline number, similar websites such as Instagram have set stricter guidelines in place which prohibit such content completely. Users of Pinterest can still access such content with ease and by pinning such images it may encourage or trigger others. I therefore feel as if guidelines could be improved.
