‼️‼️Please Don't Skip Me‼️‼️

Dear humanity,

I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. 🍉

The Israeli occupation forces launched drone strikes on my husband, Fayez, and my son, Mohammad.

Although my husband's condition has stabilized, my son is still suffering immensely and urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.

I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too 🥺 .

I need your help please donate and share, evry contribution, no matter how small, brings us hope in these dark times.

Mohammed deserves to live a happy and healthy life, just like every other child on this earth.

So I humbly ask you to donate even a little or at least reblog this appeal.

You know I was wondering what if in the Addams Family values what if Pubert just stayed normal? What if he did grow up to be a lawyer or a banking investor and he’s just so normal to the point you wouldn’t even know he came from a fucking family of goths. I mean he’d be like Patrick Bateman in a different font and nobody really questions it anymore

Pubert "Investor Bro" Addams is the blacksheep of the Addams Family. But in the Addams Family, that just means they love him even more. Even if they don't agree with his life choices. The family/business dinner parties are strange for everyone.

I think now is a good time for us all to review the principle of Jury Nullification.

Jury Nullification is when a jury finds a defendant Not Guilty even though they (perhaps secretly) believe them to be guilty.

In the United States, this has come up primarily in the case of 'escaped slave laws'. Good people are not willing to send formerly enslaved people back to their captors.

Governments hate this sort of behavior. But it's hard to stop. How have they tried?

1. They keep it secret. Jurors are not informed of this possibility. Activists who talk to jurors in front of courthouses have been arrested.

2. Jury Selection. Anyone who brings up nullification in jury selection gets removed. All jurors musts agree to "accept as correct the rulings and instructions of the law as provided by the judge." But they can't stop you from changing your mind.

3. Declare a Mistrial. If the defense or anyone else mentions nullification, they can scrub the whole thing and try again with a fresh jury. They will also find excuses to strike individual jurors if they need to.

4. They Flat Out Lie to You. Quoting Wikipedia here:

In 2017, a jury was instructed: "You cannot substitute your sense of justice, whatever that means, for your duty to follow the law, whether you agree with it or not. It is not for you to determine whether the law is just or whether the law is unjust. That cannot be your task. There is no such thing as valid jury nullification. You would violate your oath and the law if you willfully brought a verdict contrary to the law given to you in this case." The Ninth Circuit upheld the first three sentences of the jury's instruction and overruled the remainder but deemed that instruction a harmless error and affirmed the conviction.[67]

So expect scary people to tell you that you are breaking the law if don't give the verdict they want you to give.

But you don't have to do what they tell you to. If you find yourself on a jury you can come to whatever conclusions your conscience demands.

Maybe that bag of weed looks like oregano to you. Maybe that gun looks like a prop. Maybe the cop or the prosecutor seems shifty. Perhaps the defendant just has an honest face.

You can always find a reasonable doubt. Fuck you I won't do what you tell me to.

a big part of Killing The Cop In Your Head that even a lot of ostensibly progressive adults absolutely do not want to do is controlling the urge to judge children at every opportunity. like oh are some kids hanging out skateboarding in the No Skateboarding Zone at the park? it becomes your business if one runs over your foot. otherwise shut the fuck up. and not just outwardly, you need to tell the critical voice in your head "actually this harmless moment of someone else's everyday life has nothing to do with me and no one has asked for my opinion"

Always wash your hands with soap and water after using the bathroom.

Some people have the mentality of "well I didn't pee or poop on my hands so why bother?" but the thing about microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses is that we can't see them, so you can never actually know if you actually got e coli or other pathogens related to human waste on your hands during your time in the bathroom. Or, even if the pathogen isn't related to human waste, such as you might have gotten viruses or bacteria that can cause illness on your hand before you went to the bathroom, washing your hands prevents it from spreading to yourself and others.

Often when we go to the bathroom that is the only time we're by a sink with soap and water, so the most convenient time to be washing our hands throughout the day. Washing your hands throughout the day prevents the spread of illnesses. And preventing the spread of illnesses to others is compassion and consideration. You never know who's immunocompromised, or lives with someone who is immunocompromised. Or even for people who aren't immunocompromised, being sick is awful and nobody likes it.

Silly Game Time: It's almost 2025. So what was you personal "Song of 2024"? It could be one you liked best or listened to the most (even if it was from an earlier year), or it could be one that typifies the vibe of 2024 for you.

Mmm… Circles by Rockit

I wouldn’t say c!alan is a monster.

Imagine.. playing kick the buddy.

I mean, most of us played it at some point, right? You torture and attack an innocent little guy. Are we monsters for that? Are we monsters for killing people in games, or cutting through enemies?

Obviously the difference is that Victim and Chosen, and Dark are alive.

But did he realize that? I doubt it. I mean, I don’t think he even realized he was recreating ‘victim’ over and over again, he was just playing a ‘beat the dummy’ type game, but with a stick in his mind.

He probably eventually came to realization they are alive, probably in AVA4, since he had no idea they could talk, and he actually started treating them like people.

But still, even if he had no idea of what he was doing, his actions were still monstrous, I am not denying that, but he himself is not a monster. But his actions still hurt others. He definitely needs some comeuppance.

But these are just my thoughts tho.

Alright I see your point. But I am going to say I disagree to a point with your thought process. Not sure if I can really form the right words for my argument, so i'll leave it at this.

My rage towards his character is alive and I have never been more excited to see his downfall. 🩵

I’m suddenly picturing Dewi having a bad day, not in the mood for Zote’s shenanigans.

Dewi’s solution? Carefully pick Zote up, and set him down where Moth God’s statue used to be like Zote’s in time out.

An amazing ask. I just had to draw it. ✍️

Pixar’s original animated series Win or Lose will no longer include a transgender storyline in a later episode, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The series follows a co-ed middle school softball team named the Pickles in the week leading up to their championship game. Each of the eight episodes center on the off-the-field life of a character and their point of view, whether it be a player, a parent, a coach or an umpire. A spokesperson for Disney confirmed that the story arc was removed and provided the following statement to THR: “When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.” The character remains in the show, but a few lines of dialogue that referenced gender identity are being removed. A source close to Win or Lose said the studio made the decision to alter course several months ago. Disney declined to comment on any further details. It’s not the first time the company has come under scrutiny for LGBTQ+ storylines, particularly regarding its animated content.
