bring this back to talk about the weather as well.

i’m no meteorologist, but i feel like an ecumenopolis that goes multiple miles deep (at the least) would fuck up weather patterns

how does condensation work? how does breathing work? how high up in the atmosphere are they? have they gotten used to oxygen deprivation, like the people who live in mountainous regions?

what did the geography look like? was it hospitable?

honestly, i kind imagine coruscant, at least the slightly lower levels, to be similar to the kowloon walled city

perhaps it started similarly as well, just without ever brought into regulation

something that started relatively small, but after a devastating event, like a war, began to grow at an unprecedented pace

eventually spreading across the whole planet as more and more people throughout the galaxy became aware of the planet of growth

maybe it started out in the galaxy as a place of lawlessness

the core planets couldn’t have always been marketed as the places of “civilization” and “prosperity”

perhaps the jedi order of many generations past got in on the proto-coruscant, one that wasn’t viewed as the capital of the republic because the republic didn’t exist yet as we know it

idk i’m just spitballing here, because i continue to be perplexed by coruscant and how and why it exists because i refuse to believe nobody was like “yo y’all are dumbass bitches for even thinking an ecumenopolis is a good idea”

idk i feel like everyone in star wars would be infinitely more well adjusted if coruscant wasn’t literally one giant city, seems hellish

FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS IN THE US!

Someone over on bluesky posted this and I figured I'd better repost it here. It's the pre-RFK 2025 vaccination schedule for babies and young children, ya know, just in case it mysteriously disappears. Save this and give it to your child's pediatrician; tell them this is the schedule you want your child on.

GUYS. DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN WRITE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE FICS ON AO3

i am not gonna lie a lot of you seem to be treating "presumption of innocence" as a technicality, a legal loophole, a little *wink wink, nudge nudge* "he's the shooter lol except uuuh presumed innocent amirite" when talking about the mangione trial

some posts will have a "well we just don't know, he could have done it but he also could have not" stance thats Slightly better, but even that is not enough.

Luigi Mangione is innocent. the prosecution, during the trial, would need to produce convincing, direct evidence (not the stupid forged shit the cops obviously planted) and i highly doubt that they'll be able to, hence why they're banking on getting everyone to treat him as the shooter already.

As the man himself said: This is completely unjust and is an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience.

i feel like theres not enough alarm that Palestinian students and allies and the student movement for palestine has been actively criminalized and student homes are raided by counter terrorism police and this is not just happening to the elite colleges but everywhere right now. "What happened to the students after the encampment :/" the bravest ones, if not suspended, are in jail. but really gets me is the "counterterrorism" pollice. why are they part of these raids and entrapping students for terrorism charges? this is post 9-11 all over again and its been quiet. post 9-11 the colleges allowed FBI to monitor "insular Muslim communities" and I am afraid that they are reforming that relationship. there's more cameras and police on campus.

"The University of Michigan's governing board asked the state attorney general to bring charges against protesters."

Hey do y’all remember when Boeing fucking killed a guy last year. And we all said “huh I guess Boeing fucking killed a guy” and then went on with our lives. And everybody knew that Boeing had fully just fucking executed a guy and nothing came of it. Like there was no police investigation no justice no nothing. Like literally EVERYBODY knew that Boeing had full on murdered a guy to silence him and there wasn’t any consequences for them. Kinda crazy.

just letting everyone know i won’t be online for at least a few days

Our dreams have been destroyed, and we have nothing left...😞

🫂You're our last hope in this life🫂

I'm Lama from Gaza, I'm 24 years old, and my husband is Mohammad... We got married in 2022 in a house full of love and happiness. Our house was beautiful, we chose everything in it carefully... We were waiting for the end of the day to go there after a tiring day of work, but the occupation did not leave us. 😔😭💔

This house was bombed with all hatred. Here we are after the genocide. We have nothing... We lost our house, our work, and our car.😭😞

We were displaced to Rafah in a tent that could not accommodate 5 people, and after the displacement from Rafah, we were displaced to Mawasi Khan Yunis again. It was a very difficult period... but now we are in Mawasi Khan Yunis in a tent that does not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer.😞😭

This is our tent, its floor is made of cardboard, as you can see, and I suffer from severe eczema due to the pollution of the air and the materials used, and the medicine is very expensive.😭💔

Urgent: My husband needs a very necessary operation and medication. Please help my husband in order for his health to improve. He is in pain.😞😭🫂🙏🙏

Help us and donate to us. You are our last hope and the lifeline of this life. 🫂🙏

We need you...Donate to us and save what is left of us.😞🙏🙏

it disturbs me that a significant number of people think that the issue with sexual violence, gendered violence, and misogyny is sexual desire rather than dehumanization, so they are relentlessly suspicious of others' (and their own) desires while simultaneously never at all interrogating others' (and their own) dehumanizing beliefs about other people, both within and outside of sexual contexts

here's the story. i know expressvpn has been recommended in some 🏴‍☠️ how-to posts but it is not trustworthy. the parent company, kape technologies, not only used to distribute malate but has ties to multiple state surveillance agencies. and be careful where you look for info about good vpns, because kape technologies owns a bunch of "vpn review" sites too
