According to NBC here in the US, the missing titanic sub has been found. As debris. Off the bow of the Titanic wreckage.

And it looks like the sub suffered what we all suspected, and what was undoubtedly the more merciful of the two options: a catastrophic implosion from the pressure.

Also, more info has come to light about the fishing trawler with the hundreds of migrants that sank cataclysmically off the coast of Greece, indicating that the greek coast guard knew about the vessel AND how much trouble the vessel was in, and were towing it at a speed that made it capsize, at which point they unhooked the tow line and watched the trawler sink without helping the passengers to safety. Despite a bunch of other ships trying to help as well throughout the whole ordeal.

So a lot of people are dead, all because of regulations (and the lack thereof) regarding sea-faring vessels and rescue protocols. People shouldnt be allowed to make a business charging a ton of money for a ride on an uncertified, unsafe, un-seaworthy ship going deep into the ocean with no distress beacon or tether to the mothership. People also shouldnt be allowed to enact laws that criminalize the ferrying of refugees, which then force the refugees to hitch rides on fishing trawlers, and which also prevent people from helping those fishing trawlers full of refugees due to fear of legal consequences.

Hopefully BOTH of these events spark changes on an international scale in terms of what is legally allowed to be sailed, who is legally allowed to be the passengers, and what the rescue protocols are in the event of disaster for any seafaring vessel, illegal or not. It shouldnt be just the global 1% who get 24/7 search parties and remote-operated submersibles helping rescue them.

Zionists/Symathizers who say "Palestinians should be taken by Egypt/Lebanon/Jordan and just live there forever" have no idea what a refugee camp is like.

my mom not allowing me to whistle while my sister is actively skipping class has the same vibe as the US banning TikTok while LA literally burns to the ground

What would each warrior nun character be if they were a fruit?

Ava is a watermelon 🍉 because she's super sweet but when you get one you're like wth do I do with it now there is now way this is going to fit in my fridge.

Beatrice is a tomato 🍅 she's a lil confused but she's got the spirit.

Camila is a peach 🍑 she is pretty and delicious but don't forget there's a stone inside she will break your jaw.

Lilith is the proverbial apple 🍎 from the Bible stories you're NOT supposed to eat it you will literally make god mad.

Mary is a lime 🍋 she can be sour by herself but prepared the right way there's not much better (reminder Mary drinks a lot and there are limes in margarita, gin and tonic, etc…)

Vincent is a banana 🍌 because there's a very short window of time for them to be good, after that they're all gross and rotten and brown.

Superion is a mango 🥭 because it's pretty hard to figure out how to eat it but when you do 🤤

Michael is a fig people always trying to put them in foods they don't belong in 🤷‍♀️*

Yasmine is a strawberry 🍓 because neither of them are any good at driving.

Duretti is a kiwi 🥝 he's better with the skin off.

Salvius is a coconut 🥥 because she can take emotional beatings (😢) and still come out sweet.

(Technically a fruit I'm told who knew who knew…)

Chanel is a lemon 🍋 because she has a strong flavor, is just a little feisty and can help bring out the best from other fruits.

Together they make the fruitiest of salads, yes?

“no one ever looked for a girl," he said. "it was a prince that was promised, not a princess. rhaegar, I thought…”

“what fools we were, who thought ourselves so wise! the error crept in from the translation. dragons are neither male nor female, barth saw the truth of that, but now one and now the other, as changeable as flame. the language misled us all for a thousand years. daenerys is the one, born amidst salt and smoke. the dragons prove it." just talking of her seemed to make him stronger."i must go to her. i must. would that i was even ten years younger."

Honestly I am so happy people are loving my poem “Christ in America”. Like it’s such a short poem (Langston didn’t give me much to work with lol) but I did feel like I was able to get quite a bit packed in those few lines

Journey of Hope (1990). The story of a Turkish Alevi family trying to illegally emigrate to Switzerland, a country they know only from a postcard.

Richly compelling and deeply compassionate, this is probably one of the best films about illegal immigration I've ever seen. It really gets to the heart of this desire to live a better life, and the hope that powers people forwards, even with the unfathomable risk that lies ahead. This grows in tension as the journey becomes more untenable, culminating in a sequence that's harrowing, haunting, and devastating, and I know it's a movie I'll be thinking about for a long time. 9/10.

also while I’m not the biggest fan of the 2.1 and 2.2 patches, I have a soft spot for patch 2.3

saw the brutalist again. I really never think this about art but for people who dont like the brutalist...that's a skill issue.

Mother 2/Earthbound community, question (TW: Bugs, Abuse, Fat People) :

Is it just me who found it weird that the general idea of what kinda bug Buzz Buzz was when first playing the game always gravitates to him being a bee like creature?🐝

I find it interesting since Porky’s mom Lardna straight up calls it a beetle, the wrong kind but that throw away joke seems to be disregarded when first playing through the game. Is it because we’re predisposed to not take what she says seriously? I think the actions of the older two males of the Minch family veils our perception of the family as a whole and we become distrusting of Lardna as a result. I’m by no means saying she’s a saint either (it’s implied she also beats her kids) but I think it’s fascinating to think about how Mother 2 is able to guide our trust which misleads us to certain details that we may not find out till years later.

Side note, I think the fact that her husband straight up leaves her to raise Picky by herself is often overlooked, like this lady can’t catch a break. That makes Picky today’s biggest loser.

Side side note the only reason I’m obsessed with the fact that Buzz Buzz is a beetle is because they’ve been my current hyperfixation. I mean, come on don’t they look so damn cool???
