Saw a post about how halal and kosher meat will likely be the only reliably safe options in the US because their safety and cleanliness standards aren't dictated by what's the barest legal minimum that government food safety regulations demand.

So you're like 5 years away from "ever notice how the musulmans and jews never get sick from bad meat? clearly this is proof that they are poisoning us" right now.

Remember "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" ? I feel like there's been a distancing from the "reduce" and "reuse" part and a favoritism towards "recycle" by corporate American.

Capitalism can still thrive with recycling in the mix. You buy Plastic Thing 1, throw it away after one use, and they take that and recycle it into Plastic Thing 2 and sell it back to you. All while continuing to harm the environment.

Reusing puts a damper on things. They can't sell you Plastic Thing 2 when you're still using Plastic Thing 1. Plastic forks, for example- there is literally no reason why you can't reuse plastic forks more than once (aside from maybe microplastics, but it's too late for that)

Reducing is the one everyone wants to ignore. Just don't buy Plastic Thing 1. You don't need Plastic Thing 1. Pick up a set of metal forks and use those for years. Convenience is killing the planet

Thank u sm. As important as it is 2 stay informed abt this kinda stuff, taking a break and letting ur mind rest 4 a bit is also super important

things to do instead of looking at us/iran news:

hug a stuffed animal

play a board game with friends/family

try to get some sleep

cook/bake something

vent to a friend

scroll through cute animal photos

spend time in nature

volunteer somewhere

remember you are loved and none of this is your fault

take some deep breaths

stay offline for a day or two

make a simple craft/art project

crumple up pieces of paper/scribble all over them

read a book

go for a hike

listen to calming music

take your meds

do whatever you can to help citizens of iran

know that there are people trying to make things better. not everyone is working against you. you are loved <3

edit: i understand that people in the middle east don't have the luxury to avoid everything, and i recognize that they are suffering infinitely more than america

this post was not meant to discourage people from taking action, it was meant to keep people calm. many of us reblogging this post are minors (including me) and while its important to do the best we can to bring peace to the world, the things we can do politically are very limited. we did not vote for donald trump, and it will only hurt us to keep scrolling through news.

even though we are in MUCH less danger compared to countries in the middle east, staying calm is a first step to making a bigger effort to protest the war. its hard to do anything to help when you're having a panic attack.

please think before you leave hateful comments, and thank you for reading.

TL;DR: i recognize how middle eastern countries are suffering infinitely more than america right now, and the vast majority of american citizens are not in danger. this post was only intended to keep people calm, not to discourage them from taking action. i am a minor, so please think before leaving hateful comments

All maga to the front lines now. This is what you’ve been begging for. A fucking war, big talk online. Here’s your chance to prove it. Eat shit.

Trump appears to have made the military decision without consulting Congress, which (under Article I of the Constitution) has warmaking powers.

I have some news for members of the united states armed forces who feel like they are pawns in a political game and their assignments being unnecessary.
