Something About Percy Winning Against Ares By Drawing First Blood, Not Giving A Fuck That It’s The

YEAH, YOU DO

TW: death, child death, mass murder, corpses (they're blurred)

Hello fellow Desi bloggers. Today I'd like to bring to your attention this very real paragraph in an YA novel. It's called Youngblood by Sasha Laurens. And it talks about how colonialism isn't that bad actually!!

Cherry on top, it also has, A buttload of other problems!! And before anyone says that "they're not saying colonialism isn't bad 1!1!1!" Yes they are. The phase "He spent years pursuing her till she agreed" is extremely gross in the context of literal colonialism. Especially in the context of how east india company officers treated brown women. "it's not as messed up as it sounds". Ah yes, the east india company that is responsible for hundreds of atrocities , including forcing farmers into indigo cultivation, torturing and r*ping their family members when they wouldn't comply, executing millions, torturing more. The East India company, that sowed the seeds for partition, and destroyed the flourishing Indian economy, destroyed industries. The East India company that looted India dry. The company that is responsible for so many crimes. The aftereffects of their crimes haunt us to this day. It's been 75 years, and we are still recovering. Stop retconing our history. It is not yours to vandalize. Our pain, our past is not yours to sugercoat. Shame to the author who sat down and wrote this, shame to the editor who didn't edit this out, and shame to the publisher who decided to publish this.

“60s horror movies reflect an era of rapid change and uncertainty, and a yawning generation gap. the social stability of the post-war years crumbled as attitudes to everything from hemlines to homosexuality underwent a seismic shift. horror movies, especially those made for low budgets outside the mainstream studio system, offered ways to process and interpret the rapid pace of change. they often served as cautionary tales about the dangers of abandoning traditional values.”

Footage emerged from Gazan journalist Nooh Al-Shagboni of the heroes of the Civil Defense rescuing a number of children, women, and youth from under the rubble of a home bombed by the IOF in Gaza.

A 37-day-old baby named Salam (peace), born during the first days of the war amidst the bombing, was rescued after a four-hour-long operation, reborn from under the rubble after all thought she had been martyred.

Salam was the firstborn child of her mother and father, who both ascended to martyrdom as a result of the bombing.

Like ; take that b*tches

yi-jin reporting live to defend hee-do winning the match like:

and let the history books name joe biden, rishi sunak, justin trudeau, emmanuel macron, ursula von der leyen and every other world leader who did not step in to prevent the genocide of palestine as cold-blooded murderers. may they face a shred of the immeasurable pain and suffering they allowed to be committed against 2.2. million innocent lives.

@HBO don’t HMU.

hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river) 

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.
