Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant were accused of “crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024”, a statement from the court said on Thursday.

There are “reasonable grounds” to believe that Gallant and Netanyahu “intentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, including food, water, and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity”, it said.[...]

the ICC said on Thursday that it had unanimously decided to reject Israel’s appeal over the court’s jurisdiction.

Safield is canon as a far as I'm concerned

🔻 Urgent appeal: Listen to me, friends, and share what you wrote ‼️

Whoever the new president in the White House or Tel Aviv may be, it doesn’t matter to me. This is a genocide against us in turns. I don’t care about the hand of the butcher that slaughters; what matters to me is the death we are living, and who will stop it, that is what matters to me and to all palestinians …

I want to share some good news with you. I bought a new hearing device for my brother, Yasser. Do you think he’ll hear the sound of birds in the morning with it in the coming days, or will he only hear the terrifying sound of bombs more clearly? It’s disgusting that children these days wake up to see so much destruction around them. I don’t know when this life we’re living will end, but I hope it’s soon.

Your role, as someone far from these events, affected by them as you watch through a screen, is to help those who are living it in reality, people who, for over a year, have waited for death with every sound of an airplane, thinking their time has come. They endure this in an attempt to save their families.

This isn’t something you’re obligated to do, nor a moral duty; it’s your choice if you want to help others survive by contributing even a small amount. If you’re unable to donate, sharing the post to reach as many people as possible would help us reach donors, allowing me to meet my family’s needs.

Finally, I sincerely hope you never have to experience the pain we’re going through, and I thank everyone who thinks of us and feels our pain.

Honestly I still prefer Safield over Pricefield, Max and Safi are just really cute together and I love them so much.

This person on AO3 really hates double exposure so much that they are going on every story and leaves hateful comments. If you hate it so much and dislike ships don’t freaking read it!! I know when I eventually write something this a-hole will harass me too. Geez some fans are unhinged 😂

everybody comparing safi and chloe when the real parallel is rachel and safi, actually.

- human chameleons, secretive, knows everybody and everyone but nobody truly knows them

- extreme emotional fallout that triggers powers to go crazy … happens specifically with a parent and worsens when it’s discovered said parent has forcefully kept them from their other parent

- depending on interpretation, both of them cause a storm

- both of them have no desire to stay where they currently are and wish to flee

- has only one person they trust and care for in the entire world, and is the only person they’d stay around for

- rachel and safi have an obvious affect on other people, making the people around them feel loved by them and like their bond is profound and important, when in actuality it wasn’t something rachel or safi cared about at all

- morally ambiguous women who do morally incomprehensible actions that hurt the people closest to them

So I’ve been a bit quiet recently with the release of Double Exposure and there’s a reason for that and it has nothing to do with the game in fact I fucking love the game it’s brought me back to a time in my life where I was much happier and seeing Max back is like greeting an old friend you haven’t seen for years, but the problem I do have is…

The so called “fans” now don’t get get me wrong I understand not liking a game of course not everyone is going to like it there’s quite a few popular games I personally don’t gel with but the amount of hate everyone who likes double exposure is receiving made me lose a lot of love with this fandom it’s really saddening to see cause I enjoy making friends in this group but I just can’t respect anyone who sends hate towards developers or actors or even fans of a certain thing I think that’s one of the lowest things you can do

But to end off on a lighter note I seriously love Life is Strange Double Exposure I’ve played through the game 3 times and have got all the achievements (apart from bay vs bae because it’s a bit buggy 😪)

[resipunk]

Seems like every other day there's always something new that makes me just honestly not respect people who hate Life is Strange Double Exposure.

First it was the attacks and threats aimed at the developers of the game, the still ongoing constant complaining about Chloe not being in DE, now people are attacking those who enjoy the game and who write fanfiction about it.

Hating Double Exposure is one thing but don't attack people who like the game. That's never going to be okay.

You forgive Jinx but not Caitlyn? Here’s why.

If we start from the idea that Jinx and Caitlyn are very similar and that the show increasingly emphasizes this; if we assume they both have traumas and reasons to be angry and violent; if we consider that their traumas are equally significant—because all trauma is equivalent when experiences differ—a trauma is still a trauma.

So why do we forgive Jinx but not Caitlyn? (Or at least, why do people seem to hate Caitlyn more than Jinx for her actions?) Caitlyn hasn’t done anything comparable to Jinx, who has many deaths on her conscience. Is it because she might have sacrificed a child? No, she wouldn’t have missed the shot—you know it, I know it, and so does she. Blaming her for a shot she didn’t take but would have succeeded at isn’t a valid reason.

Jinx isn’t more murderous, nor is she less so than Caitlyn. She’s not stronger...

Here’s a little screenshot of Caitlyn getting the upper hand on Sevika. #SeviCait? 😆 Caitlyn is seriously badass—let’s not forget that.

She’s not stronger... or more loyal, fairer, or smarter…—she’s just more unstable.

So yes, that’s why so many people struggle to forgive Caitlyn’s actions compared to Jinx’s; it feels like Caitlyn does things with full awareness. When she strikes Vi, she’s fully present in the moment, taking her time to think before delivering the blow.

Jinx, on the other hand, hits Vi much harder and more than once. But Caitlyn’s blow hurts more because it comes not just from the heart, but from the head as well.

Do I blame her? No, of course not—she’s my favorite character. And I dare say I love her even more now.

She’ll learn to handle frustration, she’ll keep thinking things through, and she’ll realize she’s being manipulated. She’ll make the right choices, because that’s who she is.

I’m playing the new life is strange game and apparently people are pissed at how it handles following up the original because OF COURSE THEY ARE.

The first game has two endings, one where Chloe survives and one where she dies.

Officially, neither is the “canon” ending, that’s been made repeatedly clear since the original game released.

But a bunch of people keep demanding more of the Max and Chloe story. It doesn’t matter that they’ve gotten comics about it and a prequel, they still want more. They don’t want to let Life is Strange be an anthology series.

So here, Max is back as the protagonist. But guess what? Chloe isn’t a main character.

Because she fucking DIED in one of the endings, and both are canon.

So even if you choose to play in the timeline where she survived, they had to write her out or they would have had to develop two different games, one with Chloe and one without.

So instead they made it an interesting character issue. Max is stuck in the past, in the trauma of the events of the first game while Chloe wants to move forward.

It was never going to be Max and Chloe living happily ever after. It couldn’t be.

That’s not an interesting game, and it flies in the face of the ending of the original.

This game is in many ways rooted in Max dealing with that trauma and like…that’s an interesting story.

But you’re mad because the story you wanted isn’t the story they made, even though that was literally never going to happen.

The LiS fandom is shitty sometimes

Very gatekeep-y

There’s a sort of notion that there’s only one way for a Life is Strange game to be Life is Strange, but the people that buy into that don’t seem to realize that their criteria is literally just the game that already exists.

Maybe I’d give more credibility to the current criticisms if I hadn’t had to deal with YEARS of so-called “fans” harassing me for being a legitimate fan of every LiS entry, rather than just the ones it’s most popular to like. I have had to deal with this toxic gatekeeping and backlash for fucking EVER so it’s hard to give much of a shit about y’all not getting exactly what you want here.

"We want more complex female characters" you can't even handle an angry, grieving daughter who just had her mother killed by her future wife's sister, shut the fuck up

Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.

This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.
