I hate you TikTok I hate you for giving stupid people the confidence to claim that the Jack the Ripper case was “”””””solved”””””” because dna evidence “”””””””proves””””””” it was Aaron Kosminski and then when you tell them all the ways they’re wrong and an idiot they just go “heh seems like you don’t understand mitochondrial DNA, lol” as if don’t they know less than nothing about anything they’re spewing nonsense about

why is back sleeping so difficult and uncomfortable when it's supposedly the only way to sleep that doesn't slowly implode all of your bones. the human body seeks its own ruin with the fervor of a cordyceps ant

I saw a couple people say that the halftime show is inherently equal to or worse than doing nothing at all political and claiming that art doesn’t count as any form of activism and I feel like those few people just should probably think for a little while about why they consider posting on tiktok a more valid form of activism or political engagement, or why they think that activism and political engagement can only exist in one specific form. you can absolutely criticize Kendrick Lamar or his halftime show, but the premise of these specific people’s reasons for doing so is incredibly misguided.

(I am not saying Kendrick Lamar the man is an activist, more so I’m saying that taking political action or taking some kind of action comes in many forms, and I think it’s silly to criticize someone on the basis of you assuming something about them that they have never claimed and by narrowing the very idea of political engagement such that statements by non-activists and artwork are excluded from that. In a sense that is broader than Kendrick and his performance specifically, art is a very powerful tool that can reach many people and I believe it’s disingenuous to claim that it isn’t. If art and its messages were useless as political statements, people would not fight so hard to strip it of meaning, inhibit its reach, and force it to conform to a standard of acceptability.)

Kendrick: America is built off of the backs of slaves whose descendants, who were promised freedom and reparations they never got, are now being told that they're not good enough for this country. We're told that we're too black, we're too ghetto, we make everything too political. The elite like to watch us fight amongst ourselves because that way they'll be safe from the consequences of their actions.

Y'all: HAHA wow, Kendrick played Not Like Us!!! Everyone called Drake a pedophile!!! Kendrick is such a hater about This One Guy and This One Guy Only, this is a single instance after all, that's so funny. Anyway (proceeds to never interact with anything else he makes ever again)

6-year-old Joan Al-Habil is has been repeatedly hospitalized due to severe gastrointestinal problems and overwhelming fatigue. This poor girl has been to multiple facilities and seen multiple doctors, undergone extensive testing (as extensive as is possible in Gaza's collapsed medical system), even having to endure an unsedated endoscopy.

She has now been diagnosed with severe gastritis due to starvation and hazardous living conditions. Remember, she and her family are living on the streets, which are cold and wet due to winter rain. Homelessness, stress, exposure to the elements, her previous injury when the lOF firebombed her tent, and malnutrition all conspire to sap little Joan of her strength.

Her condition is so serious that she even had to undergo surgery. Gastritis very rarely requires surgery to treat, so this is an indication of how dire her condition is. The surgery was successful to a degree, but she is going to need ongoing treatment to manage her symptoms.

The treatments are administered weekly and cost $500 USD (just under €500 EUR). Her family has no income and cannot afford this. If Joan goes more than a few days without treatment, her symptoms worsen rapidly, and she sometimes has to be hospitalized. It is vital that we help her family procure her treatments so that her condition does not worsen!
