Today is the first day of the weeklong strike for a ceasefire in Gaza.
I have realized that I do not think the message has spread far, at least on this website. This might be due to the lack of internet in Gaza, it has been down for days. Not much can be said by the citizens there, it's like some people forgot about them. I encourage all of you to share this post, or make your own, letting everyone know about this strike. This is something that should transcend the aesthetic of your blog. My blog was a gimmick blog, but for this week, it is a blog for spreading information and awareness.
Bisan Odwa (@wizard_bisan1 on instagram) has called for this strike. She is a journalist from Gaza, who has been experiencing this horrid violence for 15 weeks. 107 days. 2568 hours.
These were the images she posted, calling for this strike:
Reblog this, share this. Do not stop until every supporter of Gaza knows what we must do this week.
As much as I want to support ethical farming practices I will be buying the cheapest bag of frozen chicken thighs as much as the next frugal/poor person which is why animal welfare needs to be legislated, not left up to the invisible hand of the free market or some bullshit. Invisible hand of the free market finds itself around a lot of throats.
I agree, because we see in his generations issue with Riri and Aaron’s Avengers run he was happy to take a step back and let the younger, smarter generation take the wheel, but that doesn’t stop him from improving himself.
Superheroes and Aging
Meta time! I was asked (on Patreon) to write meta about how Tony Stark might deal with feelings about aging and being surrounded by The Youth. I am reposting it here.
Hm so as I’ve seen many people lump Sakura in with Naruto and Kakashi as ‘bootlickers who ignore all the state’s atrocities in favor of keeping that status quo’, so as both a radical and a Sakura fan I’d like to share why and how I think Sakura could be turned into a radical character.
This isn’t gonna go very deeply into her fighting abilities or any of that, it’s more an analysis of her personality and narrative role than anything.
when i was post op after top surgery i had a good friend there with me to help recover. but the nurse didnt get the memo and when i woke up she was like “ok i’m gonna go get your girlfriend and bring her in to see you!” and i remember being so zonked on anesthesia and so disoriented i just laid there thinking wow…… all that an they’re bringing me a girlfriend too this place is amazing
TIL that Billy Crystal’s character, Miracle Max, in the Princess Bride was so funny that it nearly stopped the production of the movie. One actor bruised a rib from clenching to try not to laugh.
the “humans are inherently selfish” fanclub can genuinely and in all honesty go to hell. i once came back from a school yard where the kids had heaped piles of leaves and cut wildflowers on a narrow strip of grass bc a bee had died. i actually want to cry.
Hate to break it to you but the Tate vs Greta saga and the pizza box thing is just fake news.
No, the Romanian police didn’t “need confirmation” that they were in Romania. First, border controls are… a thing, second, their home first got raided in April and the DIICOT most likely gathered more evidence against them since then because human trafficking is unfortunately very hard to prove. Do people not know this? But hey, it’s way funnier to believe some rando on twitter making wild claims for shits and giggles, nowhere before this was the pizza box even mentioned on Romanian news, I’m amazed how this was picked even by international news as a fact.
“When contacted by CheckNews, Romanian prosecutor Bolla Ramona, who is in charge of the investigation, formally denies that it was Andrew Tate's pizza box that led to his arrest: "It's a very amusing piece of information but it's not true. We executed a search warrant yesterday but the decision had already been made before his message [with the pizza box], and then it was authorized by a judge." The prosecutor says five searches were conducted Thursday and that police had "made sure that the two brothers [were] in Romania before acting. We use all kinds of information, such as those in public sources, but they are not the only ones employed."” Source
I also laugh at him because he is a worthless human being, but I’m also disappointed how people treat this with such lightness. Also grossed out by how misinformation also spreads so quickly and how people would rather prefer to believe in a funnier version of this situation. Human trafficking Eastern European women is a serious problem and it’s often done through the “lover boy” method, as Tate brothers did as well.
Also, don’t believe Tate fanboys that claim he is now free.
