change the ref 

"Change the ref" is the name of a 501(c)(3) non profit group. The fundraising website describes the group's purpose as "Change the Ref supports the next generation of voters who feel that current leadership has failed them from the local to the federal level. Our mission is to fuel the youth of today by empowering their voices to ensure that they are heard by those who are seeking election and re-election!"

There is nothing easily found on the website to define the phrase. "Change The Ref (CTR), a Non-profit 501 c-3 Organization, was formed to empower our Future Leaders. It uses urban art and nonviolent creative confrontation to expose the disastrous effects of the mass shooting pandemic." The site describes what the mission of the non profit organization is...

As amateur etymologists and word users, you and I, the readers of this post, can extract some sort of meaning for this phrase: Let's elect new politicians who will guide us and help us follow the rules and make things better. We need new referees, so let's change the ref. (in other words, let's change the referees)... You can see referee can be used in a negative way (the blind ref). The use in "change the ref" assumes that a sighted positive person is going to be the new ref.

You can find a gofundme fundraising account by searching "go fund me change the ref"

This phrase did not appear in Urban Dictionary on July 3, 2018, so it's being added.
We need to change the ref. We need to get someone else in there to make and enforce the rules. Let's elect new politicians who will guide us and help us follow the rules and make things better. We need new referees, so let's change the ref.

Extremely Radioactive GIovinaryputlocinary reaction after the Moltozypollio part of the gigaboltimatio began to melt down, therefore creating a sub-trioacular mulitiloafwaxernalitiousing change in the Zoltomagnofitros Fluxiriator 

The Name is pretty descriptive already lol

but if you need to know...........

The Glocinaryputlocinary reacted to a high pressure change thanks to the gigaboltimatio (specifically the Moltozypollio part) creating a sub-trioacular mulitiloafwaxernalitiousing change in the Zoltomagnofitros Fluxiriator. This is a very dangerous event and can only be avoided by the immediate use of the nearest Plyoxinatiator which will cool down the gigaboltimatio before it becomes too radioactive and blows up all of earth, the milky way, The 99th galaxy of the orizonish belt, including the sub-0-N-triplanets in the Multicravosculor region of the 56th Trion, despite their natural defense from the Axiltoniyontian generator in their cores that deters radiation.

Phew, i can breath now!
OH NO!

There was a Extremely Radioactive GIovinaryputlocinary reaction after the Moltozypollio part of the gigaboltimatio began to melt down, therefore creating a sub-trioacular mulitiloafwaxernalitiousing change in the Zoltomagnofitros Fluxiriator that happened in the lab yesterday! Thanks goodness the Plyoxinatiator was there to cool it down

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
