Moonbows

A moonbow, also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow, is a rainbow created by moonlight rather than sunlight. It's formed when light from the moon refracts and reflects off water droplets, like those in rain or mist, creating a visible arc of light in the sky. Moonbows are generally fainter and less colorful than regular rainbows, and they are much rarer due to the need for specific conditions like a full or near-full moon, clear skies, and dark skies.

The whole shtick of "we are reverse colonising the uk" is funny at first, until you realise that the people who are in a position to leave the country and buy property in europe belong to a class of people who are the most likely to have worked with the British during colonial times

I missed most of the Iraq war due to being a baby, but every time I read about it I start wondering why we aren’t all talking about it all of the time

worst part of getting into the traditional folk music scene is that you will hear a song in the wild and fall in love with it, and when you try to find it online you discover that there are 900 different cover versions and the only non-terrible one is a recording of a church hall concert filmed in 2002 on someone's nokia

"tumblr's the only social media without algorithms!" "you can still be anonymous on tumblr!" "tumblr's so nice because you don't have to show your face!" WRONG tumblr is special because you can have 3000 followers and still get an average of seven likes a post. i'm doing stand up comedy at a packed venue and one person is laughing

“Perhaps most offensively, when colonial countries panic about ‘border crises’ they position themselves as victims. But the genocide, displacement, and movement of millions of people were unequally structured by colonialism for three centuries, with European settlers in the Americas and Oceania, the transatlantic slave trade from Africa, and imported indentured labourers from Asia. Empire, enslavement, and indentureship are the bedrock of global apartheid today, determining who can live where and under what conditions. Borders are structured to uphold this apartheid. The freedom to stay and the freedom to move, which is to say no borders, is decolonial reparations and redistribution long due.”

One legitimately weird thing about Tumblr is that we literally can’t code for shit, many people quit working at Tumblr due to a hostile work environment, and we can’t seem to program a simple blogging website to not flood your RAM.

No altar, no belief, no holy book, neither the Qur’an nor the Bible nor the others, have ever been able to reconcile the rich and and the poor, the exploiter and the exploited. And if Jesus himself had to take the whip to chase them from his temple, it is indeed because that is the only language they hear.

No one wants to leave the country they grew up in, but news like this shows how difficult it is to live in Gaza with homes, schools and hospitals destroyed.

So I hope you can help me evacuate my family from Gaza so that my father can get treatment abroad. I beg everyone who sees this to either donate or participate so that we can get out of this nightmare.

It's nice that some people are very gentle, play with their dogs and praise them and take an interest in their individuality, but realistically not everyone has that kind of time. Poor people have fewer options for taking adequate care of their dogs, are under more day to day pressure and have less patience for training them, so they're more likely than rich people to resort to hitting them. It's not like it's unusual or necessarily traumatic for a dog to be smacked when it disobeys a command, and it is an effective teaching method, even if it's not strictly ideal. Half the time the dog knows what it's doing and it's acting up to be a little shit on purpose. Leaving the dog on its own and ignoring it until it stops crying is a viable alternative. You could also try taking away its toys, or stop taking it to the park for a week. Frankly, some dogs are born bad and beating them is the only way to make them behave. Other dogs have it worse anyway.
