I dont want to get too off topic on this blog but since this is a somewhat big platform I want to talk about whats going on as we are facing the climate crisis head on.

Thousands of scientists all over the world are currently on protest in tears. No media is bringing this up. We should be seeing news about NASA scientists being arrested for asking to be heard but instead it is silent. Scientists say we have 3 years left to stop everything, we have the answers, but our governments arent listening. That we need to stop all new projects. Over 110,000+ new fossil fuel projects have been signed off in 2022. That should be concerning. Oil, gas and coal need to be stopped if we want a chance at survival and it needs to be talked about. We have 3 years, we have answers, we have alternatives and we need to government to act now. Theres a man on hunger strike just so the government will read the latest IPCC report. Just to look at a scientific document. They cant even do that.

A woman from Just Stop Oil was one of the only interviews in media ive seen as of recent, where she was mocked for her clothes and not given the chance to truly speak on the science as she was interrupted to be told her ego is too big. It was a copy and paste situation to the interview from the movie Dont Look Up. This response of mockery over a genuine concern for humanity should terrify all of us.

Despite Bidens word, he has signed off more new oil, gas and coal works.

Did you know that Congo just sold more oil blocks in their rainforest and river.

Maximum temperatures in India and Pakistan have been continuously over 40 degrees Celsius (104°F) for almost two weeks. Thats 10 celsius more than average.

The arctic passed over 30 degrees celsius this past month. Both sides of the earths ice experiencing heat waves. The arctic is bubbling METHANE.

And so so so so much more from flooding, new oil sign offs, etc.

If you are in a country thats just about to start elections, please look into parties that will do their part for the climate crisis. If you are not signed to vote, enrol asap. If youre in Australia, like me, you can enrol here by TODAY. (And maybe look into our third party system and what the greens have to offer? But i didnt tell you that..)

Look into protest groups like the Extinction Rebellion and see what protests are hapening nearby and what you can do to help. This is quite literally life or death for humanity and we cant risk ignoring it and letting it be ignored. We have to educate ourselves on whats going on, get mad and fight it. Because media is refusing to let us know of the doom were facing if our government continues to support oil, gas and coal the way they are. This isnt to make you feel doom, but encourage you to act to prevent doom.

I've been working on a set of anatomical playing cards for college, and these are the ace, jack, queen and king of the hearts suit. They were based off a nightmare I had a few months ago where my heart beat out of my chest, so the colour palletteand subject matter was chosen to reflect that experience :)!

This is like the funniest start to a post I’ve ever seen i love tumblr

Sometimes, I truly believe people think Palestine was just a piece of desert instead of like a place where Muslims, Jewish and Christians lived for centuries before Europe decided to fuck everything up with colonialism. It’s absolutely insane to me how there is documented history of people living in that part of the world and they still think Palestinians are an “invented people” (French colonizers nostalgic of French Algeria think the same thing with regard to Algerians, the idea that the land is “empty” and free for your taking, etc), and then telling us to just accept being violently expelled from our homes and settle for living as a mistreated refugee in a camp and in a foreign country solely because we share the same language... unreal. Full offense but Jordan/Egypt/Lebanon isn't my country.

It's absolutely what they believe and that's part of their propaganda. It's more thoroughly explained in The Question of Palestine by Edward Said, which I highly recommend (if you want a copy send me your email address and I won't publish the ask I'll just send it). It's exactly like the French propaganda towards Algerians, although we're in a much better time where denial of Algerian history is largely seen as a farce. I actually had to submit a paper last night on the topic of the similarities between France's colonization of Algeria and Britain's colonization of Palestine and the various colonial ideologies and control strategies used by the colonizers. There is so much overlap between the two it's unbelievable. I hope one day we can be liberated like them too. But yeah zionism cannot exist without the erasure of our history, it's entirely founded in it.

They are absolutely batsh*t insane for thinking it's gonna work on us, and that we'd just cede to their claims and accept our marginalization abroad. We'll always fight back against lies and propaganda. Westerners have been buying into the bs for so long that they're only just now discovering the truth.

The King himself took Bisclavret inside, and closed all the doors tight; he returned when the time was done. He brought along two barons, not one. They entered the chamber, all three. On the king's royal bed, they see lying fast asleep, the knight. The king ran to hug him tight; He kissed him a hundred times that day. When he catches his breath, he hands him back all his fiefs and lands, and more presents than I will say.

— “Bisclavret,” Marie de France
