There is no "both sides" in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Israel is an apartheid state.
Idk where people are at but something that helped me when I was learning more about Palestine a few years ago was reading about the everyday mechanisms of control that Palestinians deal with โ from roads to water to ID cards. So thought Iโd share
Ohhhhhh now I understand why people went wild for that photo of the Japanese girl! It's because they think it's a random photo of a real person at their job, instead of an underemployed model/actress posting thirst-trap photos to try to get modeling jobs
who would win
Hallo! Adult here! Iโm pretty sure being adult isnโt about harassing teenagers off the internet for a cartoon with talking animals.
From now on, everyone who is still a rwby fan that are able to communicate like adults, share opinions without fears of being harassed, and not harass others over opinions, use #OldRWBYFandom to get your beautiful RWBY fan messages across!
People get so caught up in treating her like a cash cow when sheโs still a fucking person with thoughts and emotions
Ironmouse has urged people to stop trying to sign her so soon after leaving VShojo "I need a tiny bit of a break, I need some time to be indie"
i was masking in a store w/ friends & a new acquaintance who had been maskvestigating me all day said โyou care about your health more than anyone i know๐โ iโd been deflecting his questioning but i said โyeah i have long covidโ and he looked so guilty he was about to cry
"You sure do like clean air!" , A commentary on the fact that I have two air purifiers in my office ๐๐๐
Absolutely wild that Russia is just openly advertising the fact that itโs effectively enslaved thousands of brown and black women and forced them to make weapons to kill civilians and all the third-worldists and revolutionaries are just utterly silent (or just support Russia)
๐ A proud moment in Alabuga: participants of the Start Programme from Africa and Latin America received their Russian language certificates. Just months ago, they were new to the language โ now they speak it fluently at work and in daily life. Big step forward. Well done!

Went for a health checkup and heard the HCP say that COVID and other viruses can increase cancer risk in people. So yeah, weโre all kinda fvcked unless meaningful changes to clean & ventilate indoor air is done and wearing a mask is the norm.
โCovidโ SARS-CoV-2 can influence oncogenic pathways, potentially promoting cancer development.โ How many times have you, your kids been infected so far? No Respirators? You donโt care tho right Airborne SARS2 rampant, unmitigated 2025. biosignaling.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11โฆ
Wild how climate scientists are like "We're fucked", the president is a pedophile, and there's an active genocide going on and people are still going about their day as if everything's normal

My relationship to Star Wars and creating Star Wars content has been irreparably damaged by what happened last year with The Acolyte, and it has taken me until now to admit it.
CIA can't operate without it. Pentagon can't function without it. And Wall Street can't trade without it. Yet most people have no idea what Palantir does behind closed doors. Hereโs how the U.S. government allowed a $300B surveillance company to track your every move: ๐งต
According to this logic, the claim that Jews are overrepresented in media and banking should be evaluated simply on whether it is true, and not on the obvious implication that it entails
I do not think evidence should be evaluated based on whether it hurts or helps a particular cause, no matter how righteous that cause is. I understand that many people cannot weight evidence, thus making OP rhetorically effective, but I think that we can do better.
Reminder that doctors are not saints no matter the hype.
I got lectured about how "COVID isn't even airborne" and "masks don't actually really work" by doctors in the hospital this weekend and I didn't have the energy to argue, just changed the subject, but my god I am so worried doctors are propagandizing like this and doing harm

It canโt be that bad hardly any doctors wear a mask. 2025 It canโt be that bad most doctors smoke. 1974 It canโt be that bad proportionally the largest profession joining the party* are doctors. Germany 1933- *guess the party (hint they are making a comeback)
It is extra disgusting to see what israel has done to the people of gaza and think "oh yeah, this is legitimate because they have some hostages." Absolutely fucking shameless and devoid of any moral sense. Even if hamas had a thousand hostages, this would still be genocide.
They don't want you to mention the hostages, because they want to pretend that Israel has no legitimate reason to be in Gaza. And yes, the hostages should be mentioned first, because their release is the precondition necessary to end the violence.
reminds me of this
Thereโs a particular type of insufferability that rich people from poor countries have that I donโt yet fully know how to verbalize
Believe women. Believe sex workers. Believe victims the first time they speak out about abuse, or else their abuser will gain more power and they will hurt more people.
