learned today that oklahoma’s equivalent of wawa or buc-ee’s is a bigfoot-themed gas station called “gasquatch”
learned this after getting jumpscared by a sign with glowing eyes driving there tonight
The moment Aljazeera Journalist Momen Al-Sharafi breaks the news that his entire family of 21 members were just killed in an Israeli Airstrike in #Gaza.
The look he gives as he is no longer able to talk, is heartbreaking.
Absolutely chilling words from @UNReliefChief Martin Griffith that really put into perspective just how historically atrocious what's happening in Gaza is:
"The. Worst. Ever. And I don't say that lightly. I mean I started off in my twenties dealing with Khmer rouge and you remember how bad that was. But 68% of the people killed in Gaza are women and children. They stopped counting the number of children killed. Nobody goes to school. Nobody knows what their future is. Hospitals have become places of war. No, I don't think I have seen anything like this before. It's complete and utter carnage."
We can’t get universal health care, can’t cancel student loans, can’t provide clean water, housing or better public transportation, but The Pentagon can misplace $3.8 trillion. Not for the first time either. Stimulus checks caused inflation but not this? Funny how that works.
You can and should be angry about Trumps immigration policies and the kids in cages, but y’all gotta have the conversation about who built those cages and how he got that power. None of this started in 2016. It’s time to grow up and face harsh truths. https://t.co/MXg0iKzEwU
and it’s many relationships that will not survive this because more than being tired of living amongst evil people, i’m exhausted of living amongst happily ignorant ones too.
You don’t have to share your feelings online but don’t ever say it’s just not something you know enough about without expecting questions about why you don’t reach for information about something this serious or widely reported on in your lifetime
Idk man. I have a whole ass degree in sociology, multiple research papers focused on rape as a weapon of warfare, geopolitical strife in a post WWII world, specifically the destruction of apartheid in SA but I also think you’re fucking stupid if you don’t know shit abt Palestine
