Okay but AU where Five arrived at the alley one day later than he originally did. Aka Five falls right back into another post apocalyptic wasteland right after escaping the apocalypse
FRISCHLUFT IST BESTE. Since I was little, I’ve had it instilled in me at home and in school that windows should be opened a bit frequently to let in fresh air, to the point my classroom once proudly had a little device to measure air quality. What Ludwig means by “kipp” is that a lot of windows are set up here so that you can “tilt” them - opening them a little without actually opening them, which is neat! And a great way to let in some of that fresh, fresh air. In German you say that the window is “auf kipp”.
The second post on my dash when I logged on to post this was actually a post about our supposed obsession with this haha.
Since most European homes don’t have air-conditioning, we also have to rely on what we do with our windows to help regulate temperature. Or at least that’s what we do lmao, when it’s as unnaturally hot as it currently is in summer, sometimes the best thing to do in the evening is to open every window and every door in the apartment and get a draft going so the place cools down a little.
It was really strange to me when talking with my American friends who do not feel the intense need to tilt open your window every few hours to get fresh air (and yes I know this is partially because you often have air conditioning and because of other factors) so I’ve wanted to draw something about this for ages! I love these little cultural differences that don’t seem significant and you don’t think about but are just kind of fun.
System of a Down finally released music after 15 years, yes!
BUT let's talk about WHY! They're trying to raise awareness about war crimes committed by facist leaders in Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 🚫(backed by Turkey 🇹🇷 🚫) against ethnic Armenians in Artsakh. Their wealth and power gives way to curruption and allows them to silence media outlets all around to world by paying them off as they do things like bomb civilians, churches, hospitals and use phosphorus to kill people and animals!
Please speak about these issues. Lives are at stake 🙏🏽🇦🇲
turkey and azerbaijan are attacking armenia right now, and it’s 1915 all over again because the world is distracted and people are too busy wondering if they’re gonna live or die, and who gives a shit about my country anyway? my mum told me to tell my friends and explain to them what’s happening and that we are the victims in this war because azerbaijan is spreading lies and people are believing their lies and i told her, what good is that going to do? do you think anyone’s going to come to our aid? is russia going to help us? is america? is england? erdogan said they will finish what their ancestors started, and he means genocide. he means ethnic cleansing. he means to massacre every last one of us. and in doing so admitted to the very same thing turkey has spent 105 years denying. i don’t know who to tell and what good telling people will do because we’re a small, insignificant country, and we have nothing to offer to the people in power, the handful who rule the world. so i sit here with my pain and i feel helpless. i know there’s twitter threads and links to petitions and people being urged to contact their senators, and sorry if im being pessimistic, but azerbaijan has been attacking us for the last 22 years, and though we defend ourselves, we can’t do anything to stop them. they’ve violated ceasefires (and geneva conventions) multiple times. i don’t think they’ll rest until every last one of us is dead.
we just want peace. we just want to live peacefully. we’re not asking for a lot here.
So first, Trump tweets that he’s having a press conference at the Four Seasons - a very nice hotel, very on-brand for Trump. This will be at 11:00am.
Then, he deletes the tweet. Hmm. A little later, he tweets again, and this time it says the press conference is at Four Seasons Total Landscaping? Also the time has changed, it’s half an hour later.
This… this can’t be correct, right? Surely this second tweet is a mistake? There’s no way that he’s going to have his lawyers standing around what appears to be a pretty typical landscaping place, right? But the Four Seasons confirms:
Okay? Sure… but this still seems fishy. I wonder why they had to bump the time back by half an hour.
Oh. Yeah, okay, that would do it. So… it seems that someone fucked up, failed to book the Four Seasons, and then refused to back down and just kinda went with it? Maybe they’d already (somehow) booked a landscaping place by mistake but I think it’s more likely they announced first, then called and found out the Four Seasons hotel wasn’t available, and frantically searched for anything else called Four Seasons.
This means Rudy ended up giving a press conference in some random dirty parking lot between a crematorium and a sex shop. Yes, really.
We need to thank the Navajo a nation! They all got out and voted with no cars and few polling places- their population was enough to swing BOTH Arizona and New Mexico
