representation is great but i wish there were more aro/ace/aroace characters who aren't teenagers. i want to see young, middle aged and older adults discover/talk about their aro/ace/aroace identities. there is so much variation! so many stories to tell! but i dont think we can get this kind of representation without addressing the entertainment industry's obsession with youth

The horrors of the world are real! They will not magically go away. Trying in pathetic vain to pretend otherwise is weak and foolish. Taking a break from the horrors if you are able is fine but don't lure yourself to completely turn away from them.

We all must face the horrors of the world. Must face them head on in all there details. No matter what it is.

Facing the fact Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians. That no government on our planet is doing shit to stop it. Especially the government I live under which is the US.

It's a mixture of profound sadness, anger, rage, empathy, frustration and sadness once again. Because my eyes are open to what is happening to the Palestinian people, to places they called home, to fact these other group of humans want to extreminate them off the planet, to all the lives, voices and souls forever lost.

We can support, we cry out, we can scream for the Palestinian people, animals and land. But what can we truly do to help stop what is happening to them!? We the people of world we can not allow all these beautiful Palestinian people still alive to be lost. We can't allow the voices of those lost to go forever silent.

We all have to stand up in the ways that we can. Make as much noise as possible to every government in the world, put as much pressure on our governments demand a ceasefire by Israel! They must stop bombing the Palestinians in anyway. If they don't heavy sanctions they must come from the US against them.

There is only one way I can think that this might happen. We as the people of the world, in the US, UK, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, etc we have protest what Israel is doing. But as one body, as one singular consciousness all demanding the very same thing on the very same day!!

STOP THE GENOCIDE OF PALESTINE

There is no line.

The thing is that there's no line. For men of power and authority, there is no price that's so high or depravity so low as can't be justified if it furthers that power and authority. It'll keep going until they've debased themselves in ways you could never have imagined and people still won't believe someone would do such a thing.

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

I have a theory about gen z and millennials, so please help me out with this poll.

Please make sure to vote as to whether you got vaccinated as a child or not, if you did not get chicken pox. Take care, spread this around, and vaccinate your fucking kids. Poll is not exclusive to any country. Vote no matter where you're from.

I see the occasional piece of discourse slide past me on this website (but also in other places) that goes something like this:

Every four years the democrats tell us our democracy is in danger and we have to vote for them or else! When will the centrists liberals stop holding us hostage like this! Why don’t they fix it for once and for all?

Here’s the thing: you can’t permanently get rid of fascism. We had a WORLD WAR that killed 75 million people to try to get rid of fascism and it just keeps on popping up again. It’s a weed that will always come back because it grows in the fertile soil of human misery, and until we end human misery for good, our soils will be rich and productive for a long time. Fascism flourishes when people are scared, unhappy, and suffering, because it gives humans easy solutions to complex problems.

Anyway… We! The Royal we! Need to stop thinking of voting as one weird trick to fix things forever and start thinking of it as weeding. Every four years you’re going to have to weed this fucking garden. For the foreseeable future. Now put your gardening gloves on and get to work, otherwise you’re going to end up with a fascist garden growing nothing but the thorn bushes of oppression and subjugation.

The UNRWA is concerned that if they do not receive more funding they will run out by the end of February please spread this message

in case any of you missed it, despite the ICJ's ruling for Israel to facilitate MORE aid into Gaza, the global west has responded by cutting funding to UNWRA, which is responsible for delivering significant amounts of aid into Gaza, as well as surrounding areas such as Lebanon. The countries cutting funding consist of the US, Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, Swritzerland, Italy, Germany, Finland, Canada and Japan. This was all due to a claim by Israel that members of UNWRA were Hamas-members or sympathisers which, at the end of the day, is a claim that concerns only 12 members in a total of 30,000.

Without proper funding, UNWRA is likely to run out of resources by February of this year (only another month) and urges the countries that have suspended donations to reconsider. This is a blatant move from the colonialist countries of this world to starve Palestinians even further when they are already facing unforeseen levels of famine.

Please take some time out of your day to call your reps, your political leaders and urge them to restart their funding. In the meantime, here is a link to donate to the UNWRA.

Hey I just realized I don't think I know any American irl who doesn't have an immigrant ancestor within living memory and want to see if that's a me thing or just an average situation

I’ve already said it, I’ll say it again, Mal du Pays is such a visceral and clever word to describe Siffrin’s Sadness. When I first saw it in game it genuinely made me pause like. Yes, it translates to homesickness. But it has the literal word for country in it. “Country sickness”. For a guy whose core problem is that his childhood, his culture, his country is missing. One could argue it’s a twisted pun. I’m obsessed with it.

Appleseed PDA montage to save you from reading endless pages of unimportant politics that don't amount to anything

also because I have nothing better to do, I'm bored, I'm moody, my gaming laptop is still broken so no BG3, and it's too late at night to start drawing after doing animation clean-up all day.

in light of there being a huge pro-life march in my city and the fear of us getting very close to criminalising abortion, i want to share an EU citizens’ initiative called ‘my voice, my choice: for safe an accessible abortion’ and ask if you’re from the EU to take a minute and sign it. they need 1 million signatures to send the proposal and every little helps. stay safe and i love you 💖
