Hospital Security Cameras Captured the Unthinkable . Civilians were thrown into the air from the place or buried inside the missile crater.

And now, orders have been issued to evacuate all hospitals, universities, and schools in Gaza.

This is not war، This is extermination. They are erasing every trace of life, every pillar of society, every safe space — and the world is still silent.

ppl keep leaving comments on that post abt slave labor in the coffee industry basically being like well no ethical consumption under capitalism, everything is equally bad so there's no point in trying at all, checkmate op.

like the realization that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism is, i always thought, meant to be a call to action, reminding you this way of life is inherently exploitative and that's exactly why we cannot accept it as just the way of the world. but i feel like more and more it's used to justify unethical actions and over consumption.

and i'm sorry but i think sometimes you can and should make more ethical choices as a consumer! by and large that's by focusing on reducing your consumption, not buying every single trend you see on tiktok shop on a whim and then discarding it a month later type consumption habits, but i think also doing bare minimum research to try and buy coffee or other luxury goods from reputable farms where the workers are paid living wages is incredibly reasonable. am i crazy like.

i think a big part of the current wave of antifeminist rhetoric among women is that people just cannot accept the idea that liberating yourself is uncomfortable. like of course it feels Wrong to see something you've internalised as normal/necessary (like wearing makeup 24/7) be challenged, that's because you've internalised it. and it will feel ostracising to go against the status quo once you question the things you've internalised. but the discomfort is part of it. you have to move past the fear response and look at the bigger picture.

Obama and Biden could've really dismantled ICE in any of the 12 years they were presidents and they didn't, so they set the stage for all of this to literally happen.

so many of the "i only use chat gpt for ___" excuses are concerning because people use it in place of learning basic, valuable skills.

you don't need chat gpt to write professional sounding emails for you, there are many many guides on the internet and with a bit of practise you can learn to write them yourself. a very important skill for a professional to have, and some of the basic rules will carry over into irl conversations!

you don't need chat gpt to be a "more detailed search engine", because you're robbing yourself of the chance to learn how to find and filter information on the internet and evaluate the credibility of sources. which is a VITAL skill. plus, chat gpt is notorious for being wrong?

if you use it to write essays, you're taking away your ability to hone your research skills, your writing skills, your critical thinking skills. your ability to create persuasive arguments!

and for most of the other reasons people use chat gpt, there are non-ai websites for that! for maths, wolfram alpha. for figuring out what you can cook with the ingredients you have there's supercook and the like. for creating routines, there's about a million apps!

whatever you "only" use chatgpt for i promise there are better websites out there that you don't have to worry will produce complete bullshit???? and destroy the environment???
