Philippines and China: Conflicts in the South China Sea

Dateline: May 21, 2025 — Manila The South China Sea remains a theater of escalating tensions, with recent events underscoring the fragile state of regional stability.

US threatens 'unrelenting' strikes on Houthis until they are 'done shooting at ships' - The Times of India

The United States will maintain “unrelenting” strikes on Yemen’s Houthi rebels until they say “we are done shooting at ships and assets,” defense secretary Pete Hegseth said on Sunday. His remarks came after President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes on Houthi targets in Sanaa on Saturday.“This campaign is about freedom of navigation and restoring deterrence. The minute the Houthis say we’ll stop…

Striking the Houthis in Yemen: A Whirl of Power Plays, Sarcasm, and Blazing Skies

In the latest episode of ‘World Powers Play Chess,’ the US and UK, ever the dynamic duo of international policing, have decided to add a new twist to the complex Yemeni soap opera. With a coalition that reads like a guest list at an exclusive global summit – hello Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands – these countries have collectively embarked on what could be dubbed ‘Operation Let’s…

I think depictions of Anya being cruel to Curly or drawing out his suffering are artful and chilling but completely miss the point of the story and her character.

I'm not saying she doesn't deserve to have that "I told you so" moment with him but not in something callous or cold. Even if that is how it happened, she'd immediately feel guilty cause at that point she's not tormenting her tormenter or even the person truly at fault. She's doing something cathartic, similar to how Jimmy likely hits Curly to release rage he can't against the rest of the crew. She'd see herself as no different when she'd come back from the moment and see Curly cowering at her. She wants someone to take responsibility but how does being cruel to the defenseless help? Why would she want the power Jimmy has over her over Curly?

The idea of her extending someone else's pain is just so against the struggles she already faces and how she can't even bring herself to cause someone pain even to help them. Her very desire is to release herself from her own suffering and I doubt she'd even fine some sort of guilty release in being cruel to another.

#anya is not a character i see taking agency or indulging in cathartic behaviors #not knowingly like i see her as a character trapped in her head and maybe in the scenario she's cruel to Curly she is envisioning Jimmy #in his place but its not a story about justice or those deserving of punishment and those not like its the opposite of people projecting #their issues on the wrong people and saying things to the wrong people and doing things they shouldn't but anya uniquely falls out of it as #she is subjected to a lot of it but it is also not something she wants to subject another person to like you are doing what Jimmy does and #placing ur rage into another persons and viewing their actions through your eyes like she'd more likely yell at him than do harm or #cause him more pain like at least make it in character #but also she clearly doesn't want to see jimmy or curly in the same light and doesnt because she still repeatedly goes to Curly for comfort #and protection and god there's like concepts that need to be applied to characters individually and then the story as a whole #we can not view the game through only one themed lens less we forget to inspect the compounding factor of Anya is so much more than girl #that needs to be allowed to go off but a woman that simply wants right to be done by her and no more harm like she doesn't want to be aroun #the suffering like idk but some of yall would just benefit from like understanding that people are inherently grey with the capabilities of #black n white thinking or actions #mouthwashing #mouthwashing game #anya mouthwashing #i like her the most but then again i am defensive of all women in media and hate when people change the way the character would take agency #for themselves like yes I want her to tweak out but she just wouldn't and I like seeing realistic depictions of a woman suffering the way #she is like shes not the type at the end of the movie to have a one liner but feel a shallow freedom cause she needs to realistically heal #idk but its just like there is an obbsession forming with making her character her pain and not how she handles and navigates the issue

Seeing other aroace people who ship Radioapple is the best

It’s like, no matter which way you ship it, you get it. Like some deeper sense of understanding we all have?? Does that make sense?

#this is just me ranting a bit #idk how to explain this I’m a lil tired #like a deeper sense of community and understanding #and the freedom to explore how that relationship would work while trying to navigate our own feelings surround it??#I know that doesn’t specifically apply to every aroace but it’s something I see a lot #radioapple #appleradio #ship talk #text post #also applies to any other Alastor ship #I just personally only enjoy appleradio out of all of em

Kataang Week 2024 DAY 1 // Cultural Sharing

“I’m nervous. Am I doing okay?”

“You’re doing amazing Sweetie.”

#kataangtag #kataang week #kw24 #katara #aang #kataracies #avatart #As someone whose hair is a major part of their culture I wanted to lend that to this piece #I think braiding would be wonderful in the hands of Air Nomads women even though the men are all top bald baddies ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿#in my culture Black Americans used hair braiding as a way to navigate. Braiding styles were used as maps to avoid traps and find freedom #and since Air is the element of freedom it felt right 💛🧡#on a lighter note do NOT notice how rusty I am ok HEY WHAT I SAY AHT AHT #I’m so happy I finally got to draw these bubbles braids on someone they are the CUTEST #I will say dating someone from another culture isn’t as hard as people fantasize 😂 I’m just respectful of my partner and eager to learn #I think a lot of that gets lost when people focus to heavily on if one or the other partner doesn’t look like they are 24/7 #dripped in another partner’s culture. like a lot of love for the significant other gets missed #but you’ll never lose that love or reverence for you culture and I hope that message comes across in this lil drawing ok byeee (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ #ON TO DAY 2 #English majors do not come for me I see it’s the wrong *too ITS THE TAGS GIRL WHATCHU WANT ME TO DO

seeing how Atsushi was in the orphanage his whole life, I bet he went absolutely crazy for train stamps; like taking Ranpo out to the train and noticing the stamp booth and asking 'whats that?' and Ranpo explaining the system and Atsushi immediately buying a notebook to get his first stamp! (he downloads the app for the local line stamps which offer digital stamps) then him freaking out that the metro does stamps as well?? cue him always agreeing to go out with Ranpo and the other Agency members taking him along and bringing a page of the train stamp if they ever leave Yokohama without him

#bsd atsushi #bungou stray dogs #atsushi nakajima #im not sure why people forget how sheltered his was in his upbringing compared to the other characters #weird seeing fics where he's explaining things to Kyouka when she had parents and had freedom prior to the mafia #Atsushi was literally at the orphanage for 18 years and was kicked out #using suica? using points from at grocery stores?#what is that? how would he even know? unless that was basic knowledge at the orphanage #I bet he spent all night learning how to navigate his phone after receiving it from the agency #anything that seemed normal and ppl wouldn't think twice about im sure Atsushi was like hm yes Ive done that and I understand #he's probably bluffing and learning everything on a day to day basis #not trying to infantilize him btw #hes a full functioning (lmao) adult who can easily kill someone im just saying he deffo struggles with 'normal' things #liztalks #text

I wish I knew more about music or like how to talk about it in depth because the tsp soundtrack literally makes me feel so many emotions and I don’t even have the words to express why it makes my heart claw out of my chest (major rambling in the tags lol)

#crow thoughts #LIKE. ITS NOT JUST ME RIGHT.#THE MUSIC IN THIS GAME HITS GOOD #like. rn I’ve been nonstop thinking about the epilogue music that plays while you’re traveling to the memory zone #(the video from earlier played a bit of it and it’s been looping in my head)#AND IT JUST. DOES SO WELL AT CONVEYING THE EMPTY LONELY WASTELAND THAT WAS ONCE THE MEMORY ZONE……#like it’s not chipper or upbeat like how it usually is #it’s empty. it’s lonely. it’s looking for something.#<- AND MAYBE ITS A REACH BUT. it sounds eerily close to the freedom ending track #the way it opens at least has that same sort of tone but just the beginning parts #and like. idk if that’s just me feeling that way but. I AM THINKING ABOUT IT.#also a very fun neat one but the bottom of the kind control facility song-#-having a cute simple version of it playing in the background of the bucket version of that ending #idk it’s just so fun I love it. I love it A LOT #(is that a leitmotif? I think so. when a song reuses parts of another song right?)#also I love the way they use the music within the game if that makes sense #such a good navigation between when and when not to play the track #like when you first start up/restart and stand in Stanley’s office it’s got the music playing in the background #and it follows you till you get to the two doors; your first choice and when the music fades out/stops #I know there’s the coward ending as a choice but the two doors is like yknow. the first big choice the game introduces to you directly #<- IDK…….I JUST THINK ITS GOOD……….

Merry Christmas!

"Merry Christmas, everyone!"

"We hope you are all enjoying your holiday!"

Be sure to spread kindness to people wherever you go!"

"Enjoy some quality time with your friends and family!"

"Reconnect with family you haven't seen in a while."

"And make some new friends along the way, too!"

"We hope the gifts you received made you smile!"

"And we hope that the gifts you gave to other made them smile as well!"

"No matter where you are in the world, we hope your Christmas or holiday equivalent to it has been wonderful!"

"Thank you... All of you... For being with us for another Christmas. We appreciate each and every one of you, and we hope you'll join us for another year to come."

Hey, everyone. I know this year my activity levels have been back and forth due to how busy I can be IRL, but I'm so glad I could spend another Christmas with old friends, as well as with the new friends I made. Whether it's celebrating the birth of the Lord Jesus, being kind and sharing good will, or spending time with your friends and family, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I Know I sure had one...

With that said... I admit being a bit drained, so I hope you don't mind that I save the Christmas Gift Meme for later, whether it's some time tonight, or after Christmas. I still hope you'll still send some in regardless because I love being able to do these kinds of activities with you guys. I wanted to make sure at the very least that I could wish you all a Merry Christmas. It is my favorite holiday, after all. I'll get to the gift memes as soon as I can, but until then, Merry Christmas, keep up the good work, stay awesome, and God bless all of you.

This week I have been learning about wheelchairs and 1. Just how fucking many there are 2. Just how fucking expensive they are 3. Processing my Feelings about it

#disability #navigating the costs is crazyyyy man im so lucky i can work fulltime remotely and actually pay for something myself #it would be super nice yo get govt assistsnce but that process is so sosososososo much more trouble than it's worth (by design) for me rn #anyway i still cant sit “normally” for more than like 5 mins without having to sleeping pill myself to sleep that night if i do #hOWEVER #the concept of actually having some sense of freedom even if i still cant go out anywhere on my own is huggeee #the thing i wish ppl knew about ppl who use wheelchairs #is that some ppl can only stand to use them for short periods of time #and they're not a full solve for a problem #like. nah still can't travel independently still need to be horizontal every 20 mins ripp

i think if it didn't associate me with people who are quick to write my friends and I off for being from cultural religious backgrounds that we're still somewhat attached to for various reasons (mostly for being brutalised or otherwise surpressed for it) i may be more open to calling myself an atheist

#I have fullest and deepest sympathy for people navigating estrangement from their religious background for the sake of their freedom #bc obvs why wouldn't i of all people lol #not because it's a negative thing but because people treat u like shit from both religious and non religious sides and it gets so lonely !
