#but... really man

[elizeshiro]

i read about this story when it first came out, hours after the incident on the live updates page

the instagram post doesn't cover it, but she had an elder sister, layan, 15 years old who survived with her at first, and was on the phone with a red crescent operator as they were flanked, stuck in the car between tanks.

she's not mentioned as missing in this post because she was gunned down while on call. the recording is available online, and i don't know if her screaming or her screaming stopping suddenly was worse.

her 6/7 year old sister, now the only survivor, was on the phone with the operator for 3 hours, constantly asking to be taken away because she was scared. (I'm not sure why this article says she's 4, all other sources I've seen have mentioned her as 6 or 7.)

I've seen some genuinely fucking horrible things about this story from people who don't even want to believe the war is real. i hope she is alive, at peace, and in safety with the red crescent team that was dispatched to her.

her mother and grandmother are at a gazan hospital, waiting for her. they've conducted interviews.

“She is a little girl, her only dream is to be a doctor and treat people.”

The girl’s grandmother, Hind Hamada, said she was “hopeful” that her granddaughter would be returned “without delay.”

She said Hind had called them from the car saying, “Come and get me, I want to go home, and I want my family.”

“We want to take Hind to a hospital to treat her because she was injured,” the grandmother said.

Although the family hope that the PRCS rescue crew are taking “care of her” daughter, they couldn’t say so with any certainty.

“Every time I hear the sound of an ambulance, I go to the door and think my daughter is coming,” Hind’s mother Wissam told CNN.

“Every time I hear the sound of any strike, any shell, or a bullet my heart hurts because I think of this bullet being so close to my daughter. Any hit, I feel it’s coming to my daughter.”

the prcs frontline responders, volunteers, are donating their own blood to help patients due to lack of medical resources and equipment to store the blood needed for transfusions properly.

if you will not believe in the war, if you will not support those in need, if you don't even care, just... don't make it worse, at least. seeing those horrible things said about people actively being shot at and bombed — is this how far we've come?

maybe no one was in the right, but no one deserves to die like this too.

They moved heaven and earth for five dead billionaires. Not a sound for children under mortal danger.

Where is Hind?

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

the funniest part of any Robin meeting the JL is that every Robin is so distinctly different from the previous one in terms of personality and vibes that the league literally gets backlash. and like, I don't blame them. not to mention that they are non-meta children that dress as a traffic light and fight crime alongside batman in gotham on a nightly basis. i'd also be a bit concerned. Batman, literally The Night of Gotham personified in the League's eyes, coming into a JL meeting: This is Robin, my crime-fighting partner. 11-year-old Dick Grayson, dressed in the brightest primary colours possible, vaguely hidden murder behind those eyes, never stops moving even for a moment: Hi! Superman: That's a child. That's-- Bats that is a child. You let a child--? Batman, deadpan: You try to stop him. Would you rather he try and murder a grown man with a wire?

Batman: This is Robin. 12-year-old Jason Todd, with the biggest grin on his face, about 3 books in his hand, stars in his eyes and a distinct street-kid drawl: Hey!!! Green Lantern: That's ... that's a different child. What?? Jason: I stole his tires :) Batman: Tried to. Jason, stage whispering to the League: basically did. Green Lantern: that is a different kid, right?? I'm not seeing shit??

Batman: This is Robin. 14-year-old Tim Drake, bo staff clutched in his hand, a wary and tired expression on his face, more on the quiet side, the literal walking definition of don't judge a book by it's cover: hello Flash: Where do you even find these-- Tim: I found myself.

Batman: This is Robin. 17-year-old Stephanie Brown, literally blonde, with a shit-eating grin, eyes full of nothing but mischief and the most explosive personality you've ever seen: hiya!! Superman: I give up. Stephanie: I know, I have that amazing effect on people.

Batman: This is Robin. 13-year-old Damian Wayne, a literal wet cat that will hiss at you, has a sword, the most judgemental stare you'll get from a teenager, ready to jump anyone there: Green Lantern: WHY DOES HE HAVE A SWORD?! Batman: ... he came with the sword.

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an  adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol
