@nikkileia@Popstonox Honey, it’s okay if you don’t know what all those big words mean. It’s truly okay to just be silent instead of embarrassing yourself.
@BunheadHQ Need for Speed’s rapid-fire sound-shifts are what sold me on this whole project tbh, and Brutalist was such a surprising poignant addition to it, those are probs my vers top 2
Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.
Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.
Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.
Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.
At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.
This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.
What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.
“I bet Paul Dano throws away scripts if his character doesn’t get beat up by page 45.”

being called a slur before you even know who you are is such a brutal queer experience... 'you could be gay, but you ain't got to let nobody call you that.' juan protecting Little's inner child is one of the most healing moments in queer cinema 😭🏳️🌈 #Moonlight
In depths of a New Zealand 🇳🇿 swamp, scientists unearthed a massive ancient kauri tree, preserved for over 40,000 years like a wooden time capsule. What made this prehistoric giant extraordinary was hidden in its rings they revealed that the tree had lived through the Laschamp Excursion, a rare reversal of Earth’s magnetic poles. Even more remarkable was evidence of the Adams Event, a period just before the reversal when Earth’s magnetic field collapsed to as little as 0–6% of its normal strength.
During this magnetic collapse, Earth’s protective shield against cosmic and solar radiation weakened dramatically. The planet was bombarded with intense radiation, triggering sweeping climate upheavals ice sheets expanded, weather patterns shifted, and regions like parts of Australia turned into desert. Some scientists believe this event may have played a role in the extinction of the Neanderthals and pushed early humans into caves, where they created the earliest known symbolic art as a response to their changed world.
Today, the ancient kauri serves as both a relic of the past and a warning for the future. Its preserved rings tell the story of a planet on the brink, reminding us that Earth’s magnetic field is neither unchanging nor guaranteed. If a similar collapse occurred now, our modern technology satellites, communications, power grids along with global climate stability, could face catastrophic disruption.

I’ve just learned of the killing by Israel of one of the most courageous people I knew: rescuer Hussein Jaber from the Lebanese Civil Defence in Nabatieh.
I had known him for three years and met him many times. He was always inspiring, brave and endlessly helpful for many reporters.
We will not forget what Israel has done to Lebanon’s rescuers.
We will not forget Hussein.
Apartheid ended because it was no longer economically viable and sustainable. Not because white people saw it as immoral and had a sudden change of heart.
Hannah Einbinder says Hollywood not speaking out in support of Palestine "pisses me off" and they "need these issues to affect a white person for them" to care.
“I look at these people who have absolutely every privilege imaginable to mankind and they cannot utter a single word. I really can’t understand it... People in Hollywood, unfortunately, need these issues to affect a white person for them to see it as relating to them,” she noted. “Like, they see Jimmy Kimmel getting taken off the air suddenly, they see Stephen Colbert’s show being canceled by CBS, which is owned by the Ellisons, and they go, ‘How could this possibly happen?’ And it’s like, we know how because we saw students and professors and journalists and authors and Palestinian folks be silenced and fired and expelled and imprisoned… it took it happening to these white men for people to be like, ‘Oh my god.’”

Today marks four years since my aunt, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed by an Israeli sniper in Jenin.
An iconic journalist, and one of the most empathetic and sweetest people. This is who they killed. She loved life, but they stole hers from her.
