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.

i think these two could be interesting
#working up the courage to post Cringe™️[REDACTED]#by posting cringe (crackships)#roleplay shenanigans has me wanting to experiment with this relationship more (both in the platonic+romantic sense)#i do think merciemiks dynamic could be very compelling in either context#tbh: i lowkey kind of hated the ship of it at first because the stuff i saw on twt#was generic 'uwu poor aboosed softboi mikkie whos so twaumatized'#so the pairing was just. booktok sylmercie on steroids which is fucking ass lmfao#and tbh with that bastardization of his character - any mik character dynamics are going to be automatic slop lmfao#mik's victim complex + learnt helplessness & fixation on crests is one of the most interesting parts about him#mercies case is super interesting since although she was noble born - she spent a large portion of her life as a commoner#her starting class *is* commoner unlike annies class which is noble despite being a knights daughter (gil isnt a baron)#having a crest didnt stop mercie or her mother from being homeless refugees who had no food and who froze in the winter#mik: crest bearers have everything. they get anything they want for having one!!!!#mercie: i was a homeless refugee with no food :)))#<- also. mercie's saviour complex being pushed to its limit. she wants to be a good person to others#having her morals and willingness to help others *genuinely* at risk of being compromised#because of how horrible mik's behaviour is and how much of an insufferable whiny fraud he acts - very compelling#i think mercie should genuinely be mean to him! she should tell that nepobaby fraud to fuck off for acting like hes a victim#also consider this:#mattys first love was an imperial woman#miks first love is an imperial woman#<- peak dramatic irony how can you not dig the irony of mik hating his noble house#and then proceeding to repeat the margraves history#tldr: people should make their blorbos into insufferable cunts more often. it makes any relationships they have more compelling

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

“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.

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.
Tumblr media
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???
