I rose too high, loved too hard, dared too much. I tried to grasp a star, overreached, and fell.
some last fleeting thoughts on an independent zaun
(original quote from asoiaf)
I have never cared about Star Wars ever, but that two faced stranger man and his powerful wife have captivated me
can't believe this is their first time meeting
images I screenshotted towards the end of this video clip:
Original Tweet/X Post states: Presenting, "your sustainable future with eV batteries" Brought to you by: Cobalt Mines of Congo. Twitter/X User Response to this video, originally: What scares me is so much "green" technology and products and such are built off human suffering. The entire world is built on this. The entire world is irrevobaly tied to mass exploitation and I desperately hope that changes in my lifetime. #CongoGenocide #CongoIsBleeding
I have attached a video below these Tweet/X images of Congolese people in Cobalt mines. Video Description: Men, in front of a large, dark brown and muddy area of the mine are digging other men out of a hole that have been inside, excavating for Cobalt. These men are not wearing any protective equipment; other than something to cover their eyes, like goggles and lights attached to them. There is a crowd of people surrounding this area and many are cheering them on; a few men are pulled out due to the velocity/force of being pushed out of the mine area they are coming out from. It looks like the mine is opening up and down like the entrance of a beast's mouth. The exit of this part of the mine opens and closes several times during this video. I took a screenshot at the end of the video to showcase how many people have gathered, and there appears to be hundreds.
*UPDATE: The original person on X, formerly known as Twitter, who posted about this story as a re-tweet, is transphobic. I was unaware, and it was recently brought to my attention. For anyone who has read my pinned post or hasn't yet, I do not align with TERFs/transphobes/transmisogynists. I cropped out the original tweet/X post and added their initial commentary on the video just for context, my apologies for the oversight.*
Yep, people (haters) do be that way. I don't get how people can watch a media and not use simple common sense to understand what they're watching. But hey, if it's not your prerogative then so be it
Leslye: There was no manipulation.
People: Ewwww he manipulated herrrr.

Amandla: She wasn't manipulated. Every choice she made was her own.
People: Booooo, manipulation! Osha was manipulated.
