I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.

When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.

They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸

[Image description: a tweet by Twitter user “Kai Heron” (@KaiHeron) that says: "Strengthen Indigenous land rights because they're good stewards of nature" has become a refrain among Western environmentalists. Land Back is vital for Indigenous self-determination and liberation, not because Indigenous peoples do the West a service by conserving nature. /end ID]

between tumblr being found guilty of moderating lgbtq content unequally during the 2018 ban in court and @ sorryforpartyrocking being nuked for suggesting one of tumblr staff may have investment in defending terfs to now many different trans women having their text posts and selfies being flagged as mature without the opportunity to appeal in any meaningful way (one of which was nuked herself)… it’s very. hmmmm. it’s a bad look. as if staff wasn’t already on thin ice for refusing to engage in any effective way with hate speech. “queerest space on the internet” my ass

I feel like this should go without saying, but: Non-Muslims and Non-Jews can and should reblog posts about the upticks in antisemitism and islamophobia and how scared Jewish ppl and Muslim ppl are right now. If nothing else, it's an easy thing to do to spread awareness. But it also signals "hey, I'm listening, I promise" which is not something any of us are confident any of y'all are doing.

"Then I would be dead. And no one would remember me."

This line really drove home how fucking sad Minthara's story is, and really makes me annoyed that she can't be recruited without slaughtering the grove. It's like this thing they tease throughout the entire game; the idea that the enemies you're killing are people, too. The Dark Justiciars in the cloister are dating, one of the Sharrans there just wants to escape, fuck even the BHAALITES just have friends they wanna hang out with.

You just kill them without a second thought. Maybe they doubted their cause, and maybe you could've swayed them over to your side. Maybe they didn't even want to be there in the first place. Doesn't matter. By the time you realize they're just a person, it's too late. They're dead.

And then there's Minthara; the culmination of this idea.

I've killed her sooooo many times and never really cared. I knew you could recruit her but I didn't ever bother. I knew she had a personality, backstory, hopes, dreams, but it was a lot easier to just kill her. And her story would always end there; in some dark cave surrounded by goblin corpses.

And she REALIZES THIS. She realizes that you could have killed her and she would've literally just been one of the bosses of all time. Just some drow lady leading some band of goblins in some grubby, old ruins. The existentiality of the phrase is just sad. She realizes how close she came to just being a pawn. She realizes how arbitrary it really is that she's alive at all.

I feel like the way she says this line gets across more thanks than any actual 'thank you' ever could. You feel the weight of her gratitude as she acknowledges that without your mercy her story would've ended so inauspiciously.

Far too inauspiciously for a noble from House Baenre.

Honestly, it's worth doing a separate playthrough just to recruit her. It gives the game such a different feel, at least for the first half. If you don't wanna feel as bad about killing the grove, just stealth steal the idol and let both sides kill each other. You might also be able to justify it by trying to kill Kagha when she has Arabella trapped.

Either way 10/10 would recommend.

If you've ever wondered why people in Hawai'i hate tourists, try to wrap your mind around the fact that there are CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, tourists sipping martinis and looking at fish within swimming range of the fresh corpses of local people who couldn't escape the overnight destruction of their entire town.

Try to comprehend that there are fully functional, high capacity boats passing through the waters in front of an area full of survivors who are stranded and in need of supplies, refusing to help. They are hosting snorkeling tours.

Really think about, try your best to actually picture over two thousand people unhoused and in need of shelter, with nothing but the clothes on their backs and nothing to return to. Understand that the island, stolen land, is littered with hotels full of air conditioned of rooms with beds and showers and toilets, each fully equipped to host hundreds of families for weeks, turning these people away because they're booked up with tourists who refuse to leave.

And understand that these tourists were offered free transport to return home or be hosted on other islands. Free. Courtesy of local tax dollars. 4,000 wealthy tourists were offered free flights shelter on Oahu and begged to leave the island, BEFORE the survivors were given shelter.

And enough still insisted on remaining and carrying out their vacations that people are left without shelter and resources while they enjoy "their stay in paradise".

defending evil and hated female characters online is a full time job and i clock in every single morning.

i hope oceangate gets sued to hell for violating basic safety principles in pursuit of profit, i hope a teenager doesn’t die a horrible death, and i hope the world pays much more attention to the fact that 500 migrants died that same horrible death last week in a completely preventable sinking that was engineered by bureaucratic racism and cruelty. where were their millions of dollars and manpower hours in rescue efforts?
