The world is very cruel towards Gaza, all governments and presidents talk about the 70 hostages being held, no one talks about the 2 million people who are being starved, killed and displaced daily in addition to dying from the severe cold,

The Gazan citizen was exposed to all kinds of death. What we witnessed in Gaza on the ground, I swear we did not see it in Hollywood. Imagine that citizens and children were burned on television screens and no one, including the leaders, came out to condemn it. Condemns these heinous acts against Palestine We are literally exposed to all kinds of killing, hunger, severe cold, and suffering in all its forms. Words cannot describe what we are going through. Please help us to survive this devastating war.

making people up to be condescending to

The hater does not need to make up guys. The learned hater can dunk on newborn doves, and condescend to the wind itself.

in general my opinion towards exploitation (where the exploiter is not the one providing the adverse circumstances, merely taking advantage) is that the people being exploited are very aware they're being exploited, they don't need you to tell them that; like everyone they've done the calculations and decided that this is a better option than the alternative. even in situations that seem unimaginably horrible to you, people have in fact done the math and decided on the better option! storming in and excising the better option merely leaves them in the terrible circumstances they were in in the first place and you will not be thanked.

I have a soft spot for the weird tradition of having the actual artists record gibberish versions of songs for sims soundtracks because it enabled me to do this awful bit where I'd randomly insert a simlish version of a track into a playlist and see how long it took people to ask what the fuck was going on

Well obviously I can’t have chronic fatigue, that’s a real problem for real disabled people that’s diagnosed by doctors probably. Clearly I just have some sort of perpetual exhaustion issue, that is also almost certainly my fault somehow

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.

This is such a wild story like holy shit dude

I remember how fucking massive this video was 20 years ago when YouTube was in its infancy so it’s cool to read trivia about it. For anyone old enough to remember, it’s definitely giving VH1’s Pop-Up Video.

Can't relate to allegory haters I love allegory. I love metaphors and I love symbolism. Writing is about trying to communicate the same thing a thousand different ways cause you can't look at it directly without your eyes melting out of your head. Well that's how I'm doing it anyway

I think the way the "author's barely disguised fetish" joke has been getting used as of late is starting to remind me a bit too much of the whole "what were they smoking when they wrote this? XD" bit. Like idk ppl there are plenty of reasons something weird might happen in a piece of media besides someone having a fetish for it.

(*some photos of tardigrades don't show their eyes because they're 3-d scans of the tardigrade's surface and the eyes are inside of their transparent head)

if I ever manage to own a house or flat the first thing i’m doing is making the bathroom polar disaster themed. like how people have beach/ocean themed bathrooms. but I’m hanging up ‘man proposes, god disposes’, the goodsir daguerreotype is gonna be there like a family portrait, i’m painting it the iciest colour blue possible and breaking the heating so it’s always cold as hell. every winter i’ll get to roleplay being sir john stuck down the ice hole
