JUST LET ME BE.

please don't stop speaking up. please don't stop writing letters. don't stop protesting. i know we all feel so helpless but all we can do is keep their morale high. show the people that you support their right for freedom and that you see their pain and suffering, and empathise.

my step mom was asking me more questions about the nonbinary thing and after talking to me for a bit, she said "oh, so youre a rosé! not a chardonnay transitioning to a merlot, just your own unique type" which was such a middle aged white woman way to frame it, but i cannot lie gang. it did make me want to cry

3 updates from the last 12 hours:

1️⃣ 1,200 children are still buried under the rubble, per the Health Ministry. Being under the rubble for hours and hours on end… unimaginable.

2️⃣ A few days ago, the Turkish Hospital in Gaza shut down due to lack of fuel. It was the only hospital for cancer patients. Since then, 12 cancer patients have been lost due to lack of treatment.

3️⃣ Something most people don’t know and that few media outlets reported on: On Oct 7, Israel took as hostage thousands of workers from Gaza who worked for Israeli employers in the heartland (“Israel”). They were rounded up and abducted to unknown sites for no reason other than being from Gaza. Israel today announced their forcible return to Gaza, essentially sending them to a war zone.

Some workers have already testified that the Israelis tortured them, subjecting them to both physical & psychological abuse, and keeping them in inhumane conditions.

The exact number of workers is unknown, but it is above 3,000.

OP made this post unrebloggable but me and my bf made this meme in a fit of obsession and it had to be shared

Okay for real though can we also talk about internet historian and illuminaughtii?? Cause both those channels also suck and deserve at least a little of the vitriol Mr. Somerton is currently receiving. Illuminaughtii positioned herself as like an expert on bad businesses and exposing mlms and stuff, and internet historian makes dreck that appeals mostly to edgy teenage boys who think saying slurs is funny. The fact that both of them were also just ripping off other people’s work to make such desperately mid content is a little funny ngl. I hope this video tanks both their YouTube careers too.

EDIT: yes I am now aware that Blair’s channel has already tanked as a result of the dramas that unfolded a few months ago while Hbomb was working on this video (1 mil subscriber count but averaging 20k views a video nowadays. Brutal), but let’s still hope internet historian’s follows suit. Everyone has latched onto the James Somerton centerpiece, but internet historian has a Huge platform (and also sucks).

It would be extremely lame if the guy who got his audience by posting 4chan edgelord bait and anti-sjw cringe and is now pretending to be a respectable channel has the only career that survives this exposé.

how do conservatives think talking to children works? if a four year old came up to me and said “i’m a cat!!” i would say “really? what makes you a cat?” and they’d say some shit like “i have claws >:)” and i’d be like “oh wow, you do have claws. but wait, i thought cats had pointed ears!” and they’d say “they DO!!!” and then i’d pull up a picture of an elf and ask “is THIS a cat?” and they’d yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

u wouldn’t say “fucking hell, Emily, get it together. this is the real world”

Elon Musk is still saying they'll "debate" who killed Twitter and god, he hasn't realized that this is his legacy, huh?

Like, spoiler alert, Elon Musk isn't taking us to Mars no matter what Captain Lorca said. He's not going to go down in the history books as a new Edison. His most enduring legacy will probably be a cautionary tale. I can't stress how enduring the story of Twitter's failure will be, even long after Twitter itself is forgotten: a man bought a platform so ubiquitous in society that it had every celebrity, reporter and world leader posting on it for FREE, and in a fit of petty ego, obsession, and conspiracy theories, turned it into a barely-functioning mess that alienated all of its userbase but his yes men. It's going to be a infamous business failure story, taught to people and dissected for ages. "The world's richest man blew up a platform everyone used to make someone named catturd2 like him" is just. A tale for the ages

this has been nagging at me ever since i started seeing so many memes about it but

[please reblog so this can breach containment]

If even after all of this, after all the evidence that what Israel is doing and has done shouldn't be supported by anyone who's sane, you STILL think anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, then I don't know what to tell you except that you're just being willfully ignorant.

Israeli think tank lays out a blueprint for the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza

An Israeli think tank with ties to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a report on October 17 promoting the “unique and rare op

In short, there is an Israeli plan to completely ethnically cleanse Gaza by forcing its people to flee to the Sinai Desert, giving Israel access to a gas basin in northern Gaza (the Israeli army has been forcing Gazans to flee the northern part of their city). According to Hassan Fadlallah, the plan was going to be carried out in November of this year. So Operation Al Aqsa Flood was a preemptive attack to prevent this.
