Here's a little lesson in trickery; this is going down in history.

Males think they're brave enough to fight a gorilla but in reality they’re not even brave enough to tell their friend to stop making women uncomfortable.

I respect religion (as a personal belief) but I don't respect religion (as a structural sociopolitical institution)

i genuinely despise when a woman is sexually assaulted/harassed and the first thing y’all do is call her out for her clothes rather than questioning the man who has zero self control or respect. he’s a grown ass nigga who knows right from wrong, he knew not to grab her like that.

There is no greater weapon against conservatism or fascism in this country. None. Because they offer absolutely nothing. That's their entire ethos. Taking things away from people. However the Democrats also offer nothing so when the Republicans offer culture war bullshit it actually seems appealing to some people because it's "something." This sort of real material offering though is unbeatable. It's why FDR kept Democrats in power for years.

The Philippines has only two seasons: dry and wet.

Dry season drains your wallet (high electricity bills)
Wet season drowns your home (high floodwaters)

We’re paying for both.

CORRUPTION is the bill we never stop paying.

@Death_n_Gaming You'd think there would be way more tank players the way most DPS players play as if they can facetank the entire enemy team.

[Red Potaters @K_Chad2209]

@Death_n_Gaming Reminds me of a couple days ago where I had like half the enemy team constantly on me as Hulk. Meanwhile one my DPS accused me of just jumping around while my team died over and over to the frontline they outnumbered.

banning a game and not enforcing proper gun regulation rly says a lot about this country 🤡

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.

I love ya, but I will be grinning at the next chance to screw you over like you did me.

Imagine you put off a hobby to do as your family says and focus on becoming a productive member of society. Then when you finally get a little sliver of time to enjoy that hobby, that very same family ruins your much anticipated me-time.

We are devolving as a country. There are children dying and your first instinct is to blame a game rather than negligence. Nobody bothers to ask how these kids get guns so easily because they're all too scared to admit they failed as the adults children could trust.

[Huhh?? @bepblap]

I am so fucking frustrated and angry that I am now seeing the words SCHOOL SHOOTING being reported in MY OWN COUNTRY.

Putangina. Seriously.

Less than two months after Tacloban, we are now talking about another deadly school shooting, this time at Ateneo de Zamboanga University.

And I need to ask the same question again:

WHERE ARE THESE CHILDREN GETTING THE ACCESS AND THE CONFIDENCE TO DO THIS?

A Junior High School student reportedly managed to bring TWO firearms—a pistol and a rifle—into a school.

A CHILD.

How does a child get access to firearms like these? How does a child become familiar and confident enough to use them? How does a child manage to bring TWO guns inside a school?

I said this after Tacloban and I’ll say it again:

THERE WAS NEGLIGENCE SOMEWHERE.

Negligence in adult supervision.
Negligence in firearm custody and access.
Negligence in school security.
Negligence in recognizing warning signs.
Negligence in how we supervise what children consume online.

And possibly failures we haven’t uncovered yet.

INVESTIGATE IT.

Trace the firearms. Determine who owns them and how a minor accessed them. Determine whether they were properly secured. Determine how TWO firearms entered a school.

Because children do not manufacture guns in their bedrooms.

They ACCESS them.

And somewhere between the owner of that firearm and a child pulling the trigger, an adult safeguard failed.

But gun access is only part of this conversation.

Children today have almost unrestricted access to the internet. Violence becomes content. Graphic videos circulate like memes. Criminals become personalities. Algorithms can feed increasingly disturbing material to someone for hours.

And reports that this shooting may have been recorded or livestreamed make that conversation even more disturbing.

I’m NOT saying the internet alone creates school shooters. Human behavior is far more complicated than that.

I’m saying we would be incredibly irresponsible to pretend that children’s constant exposure to violence and sensationalism isn’t something worth examining.

And please, stop looking for ONE thing to blame.

We can address bullying AND demand responsible parenting.

We can improve mental-health support AND secure firearms.

We can strengthen school security AND examine children’s online environments.

These things are not mutually exclusive.

And for the love of God, STOP MAKING DEAD CHILDREN A POLITICAL SCOREBOARD.

I don’t care which administration or political color you support.

CHILDREN ARE DYING.

We had Tacloban.

Now we have Zamboanga.

I desperately do not want to watch the Philippines slowly normalize the phrase “school shooting.”

This should horrify us NOW—not after the fifth incident, not after the tenth, and certainly not when active-shooter drills become a normal part of Filipino childhood.

Parents need to parent.

Gun owners need to SECURE THEIR FUCKING FIREARMS.

Schools need to reassess security.

Government needs to examine whether our laws and enforcement around firearm custody, access by minors, school safety, and children’s online protection are actually enough.

And as a society, we need to stop giving children unrestricted access to adult spaces, adult content, adult violence and apparently, in some cases, adult weapons, then acting completely shocked when something goes horribly wrong.

There was negligence.

Find where it happened.
Find who was responsible.
Fix what failed.
Hold people accountable.

Because after Tacloban and now Zamboanga, “we never thought this could happen here” is no longer an acceptable excuse.

if you call yourself self aware but you are only aware of your faults and never acknowledge your strengths you have self hatred not self awareness

[elsa @callmeMaharani]

notice how ‘girls mature faster’ is never stated as a reason why girls should be given more positions of power and authority? It only works to hold girls to greater accountability than boys and to justify men’s attraction to them.

another form of empathy btw.
