Proceeds are donated to the UNRWA, which is one of the major funding agencies providing aid to Palestine. Recently, the US and other major countries have escalated genocidal efforts by cutting funding from the UNRWA, as AlJazzera reports : Which countries have cut funding to the UNRWA and why?

This is a direct action you can take to say fuck you to the government directed genocidal efforts, bookmark the tab, add a calendar notification daily, do what you want. Or if your prefer: Donate Directly to UNRWA

January 9th.

You slept unusually well today. That’s a good sign, right?

“Good morning, love! Your breakfast’s already done, don’t worry! I wouldn’t want you to get tired before going to work…”

The food’s good too. How nice of them.

…

“So, mx. Thompson, about your promotion… The higher-ups must really like you, because you’ve got it!”

You can’t believe what you’re hearing, this might be the best day of your life so far!

…

Tired yet happy, you come back home. As you fall asleep, you can’t help but wonder what more the future holds for you…

January… 9th?

“Good morning, love! Your breakfast’s already done, don’t worry! I wouldn’t want you to get tired before going to work…”

Odd. You feel like you’ve heard them say it before.

…

“So, mx. Thompson, about your promotion…”

Oh, yeah! You were really lucky to get it, weren’t you?

“You… already knew? I told Sam to keep it a secret!”

Something is definitely wrong.

…January 9th.

“Good morning, love! Your breakfast’s already done, don’t worry! I wouldn’t want you to get tired before going to work…”

You’ve definitely heard this before. Is someone messing with you?

…

“So, mx. Thompson, about your promotion…”

Okay, no. This has to be a prank. Where are the cameras?

“Cameras…? What are you talking about?”

She’s recording you, isn’t she? This isn’t funny anymore.

“Is- is everything okay? …Here, just go home. I’ll tell the boss.”

January 9th.

Okay. Deep breaths. How do you exit the loop?

January 9th.

It didn’t work.

January 9th.

It didn’t WORK.

January 9th.

WHY ISN’T IT WORKING?

January 9th.

…fine. let’s see if it stops by itself, then.

January 9th. January 9th. January 9th. January 9th.

It won’t work. But there has to be SOME way to exit, right?

January 9th. January 9th. January 9th. January 9th.

Maybe there is no exit. Maybe… maybe the only way out is…

“WHAT THE FUCK‽”

“DID THEY JUST JUMP OUT? WHAT DO WE DO?”

January 9th.

That wasn’t it either. Of course it wasn’t.

“Good morning, love! Your—”

Breakfast. Right.

January 9th.

“How did you know?”

January 9th.

“Why did you do that?”

January 9th.

“Good morning, love!”

January 9th.

Interesting, isn’t it?

January 9th.

Every time you roll a dice, the same numbers come up.

January 9th.

Every time someone talks to you, they say the same thing.

January 9th.

Like computer programs. You put in an input, and get out an output.

January 9th.

You just gotta figure out what the right output is.

January 9th… January 9th… January 9th… January 9th…

“Good morning, love!”

Your breakfast’s already done, don’t worry. They wouldn’t want you to get tired before you go to work.

January 9th… January 9th… January 9th… January 9th…

“So, mx. Thompson, about your promotion…”

The higher ups must really like you, because you’ve got it.

January 9th.

How much time would it have been? Years, decades?

It doesn’t really matter.

January 9th.

Why are you doing this again…? Just to see what will happen?

January 9th.

No. It’s to find an exit.

January 9th.

But there is no exit.

January 9th.

There are only loops, after loops, after loops…

January 9th, January 9th, January 9th, January 9th.

January 9th, January 9th, January 9th, January 9th.

January 9th, January 9th, January 9th, January 9th.

January 9th, January 9th, January 9th, January 9th.

January 9th, January 9th, January 9th, January 9th.

…something changed.

January 10th 9TH.

“Honey… Why were you acting like that yesterday?”

“Good morning, love! Your breakfast’s already done, don’t worry!”

“Hey, are you listening to me? Don’t walk away like that!”

“I wouldn’t want you to get tired before going to work…”

January 13th 9TH!

“I’m just… really worried about them.”

“Good morning, love! Your breakfast’s already done, don’t worry!”

January 16th 9TH!!

…This loop is a lost cause. You should skip to the next one.

Good thing the window’s open. All it takes is one jump…

January 17th.

there is no next one.

I LOVE this post and wanted to add some additional info, cause I see a lot of people who assume that drawing asian hair is the same as drawing white hair. This is not the case! There’s more to it than just the color.

I’d like to add that there are Black people of non-African decent in Asia. We exist. So the whole “I won’t draw Black people in anime because it’s set in ~Asia~” is absolutely bullshit (besides the fact that those of African decent also live there). The so called “negrito” ethnic group is comprised of many different cultures throughout south and southeast Asia and are considered Black (they have dark skin and coiled ‘Afro-texture’ hair) Additionally, the Moluccan and Papuan people of southeast Indonesia are Black.

Also regarding hair, naturally curly hair absolutely is a thing in e/s/se Asia. Our hair runs the gamut from loose wavy curls to tight, kinky coiled hair.

Blonde or red hair and blue eyes are also possible in Maluku and Papua, due to genetic quirk that has nothing to do with having white heritage.

On to types of curly hair Asian people can have:

[A picture of Sandra Oh with a long, curly shag haircut, wearing a pink blouse against a white backdrop] Sandra Oh is a great example of an east Asia person with curly hair. She has wavy/curly hair.

[A picture of Aarti Sequeria, an Indian woman with medium skin tone, shoulder length medium curls, wearing a green blouse against a colorful background]

Curly hair is also common in south Asia. This is Aarti Sequeria, an Indian person with tighter curls.

Then we get to the tightest curls.

[Three pictures of young people from Maluku or Papua Indonesia. The first shows two boys in blue shirts with dark skin and curly hair. The boy on the left has loose, dark curls and the boy on the right has dark red-blonde tightly coiled curls. The second picture shows a child with very dark skin with red undertones. They have tightly curled dark red-orange hair. The last one shows a boy with dark brown skin, dark ash blonde hair, and dark grey eyes. He is not wearing a shirt. End description]

These are all people from Maluku and Papua in southeast Indonesia. This is their natural hair color and texture. Also note how warm their skin tone is. As a note, the reason these are all pictures of children is that more often than not, those with blonde hair as children will have their hair darken as they get older. Additionally, note how the roots are much darker than the ends. This is because most of the blonde hair comes from sun bleaching rather than it coming out of the scalp blonde.

My family is from Maluku and I have cousins with the same bright red hair, and both of their parents have dark brown/black hair. I also have family who have blue eyes, but both of their parents have brown eyes. So while it’s very, very uncommon, it is possible for an Asian person to be blonde. However, unless you are depicting someone from these areas, the blue eyes/blonde hair is still very much a don’t do this, especially if you are a white artist.

There are so many ways to look Asian. So many hair textures, so many skin colors. Asia is a lot more diverse than the west depicts it to be.

Geological horror. You find a geode and crack it open and the crystal lining its walls is human blood that can’t be genetically matched to anyone. You find a human skeleton but every one of the bones is made from rock, a rock that you know can’t be whittled into those shapes. You find layers of clay and loam that sport ancient fossils at the top and the still-rotting corpses of modern animals at the bottom.

This reminds me of the blood river in Antarctica. For like a century scientists had no clue why this river looked like, acted like, and felt exactly like blood. Turns out it’s just really high in iron.

That’s so epic I love it when rocks and water and such look like blood

you guys know you can get USB connectable CD, dvd, and blu-ray players right. and you can buy external hard drives with crazy amounts of space for an amount of money that would make the average person from 2009’s head explode bc of how cheap it is. and if you do this and get ripping software such as handbrake for CDs and DVDs and makeMKV for blurays you can both own a physical copy of whatever media you want and make it accessible to yourself no matter where you are. do you guys know this

lots of people are reblogging this and tagging it #piracy—i should clarify, this is not piracy! ripping DVDs and CDs to have your own copy is fully legal, because it’s your legal right to do what you will with your property individually. it only becomes illegal if you then distribute that file on the internet.

wildest part of the folger’s incest commercial is still when the brother mentions coming back from west africa and says “ahh, real coffee”

Ok as a brasillian I do have to add, usually the coffee from the farms that are the best get exported and the local market gets the not as good ones. If we want to buy the good ones we have to buy them from the imported section even if it came from here

Imperialism babyyy

My cousin lived in Ghana for a while and always asked for us to send chocolate from the US because she said the chocolate they had in Ghana was expensive by local standards, and always waxy in texture and not actually very chocolatey in flavor. Ghana’s top export is cocoa.

Help Weavers in Gaza to Safety, organized by N Mansour

I’ve seen this GFM be endorsed by multiple Palestinians on Instagram - it is to help two craftspeople and their families to escape Gaza into Egypt. They had initially denied requests from people to offer money as it felt useless in the situation, but two are now looking to evacuate. Preserving traditional Palestinian crafts in the face of genocide is vital, but I’ll let the description of the fundraiser explain better than I could.

Hi y’all! This fundraiser is more than halfway there. Give if you can, share either way

LEVEL 11 TEACHER PANIC EVENT

KID WROTE “MPREG VORTEX” ON THEIR DOODLE PAD AT LUNCH CLUB

I ASKED THEM TO PUT IT AWAY

ANOTHER KID MUST HAVE SMELLED MY HORROR

ASKED “MS DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE OMEGAVERSE IS”

SAMANTHA YOU ARE THIRTEEN WHY DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE OMEGAVERSE IS

@too-many-muses I went full on startled prey mode 😭 I froze, shook my head way too quickly and then started aggressively cleaning the whiteboard lmaooo

don’t you fucking DARE I cannot go down in history as the omegaverse teacher

I know for a fact that they think tumblr is dead as they have told me I look like used to have tumblr before it disappeared lmao

My kid and I were listening to something (can’t remember what) and something came up that was innocent in context and would only register as worthy of note if you know about the Omegaverse and we both flinched

Which is the more horrifying?

Knowing your teenager is aware of the Omegaverse

Or being a teenager and knowing your parent is aware of the omegaverse

Anyway both of us died a little inside as we realised the other one knew

It’s come up a few times since then but purely in a “yes we both know what this is and we are not discussing it further” kinda of way

Anyway I feel your pain a little bit OP but also you totally outed yourself with that reaction

See as a teacher myself, this is when you get very calm and blunt with them.

“Teacher do you know what omegaverse is?”

“Yep! It came out as a trope when i was a bit older than you and I’ve read some of it.”

*stunned silence*

“And I also know its not a school topic so we are putting it away. Back to math.”

Kids are eager to see adults freaked out by inappropriate things or confused about a modern fad.

When you show them that adults are just as much a part of things as they are, they lose all their power.

tech illiterate people are the funniest thing

Tech side of tumblr pls explain.

“killing” a process means to end the function that does it

“a child” is a process created by another process

so what the message means is “stop the program VLC or stop the sub program of it that causes the problem”

Thank you technology side of tumblr :3

You’re welcome. That’ll be one (1) child sacrifice, please.

That’s not the only funny processs names we have

Orphan - a child process whose parent process has ended

Zombie - a child process that finished but still has an entry in the process table because it’s waiting for it’s parent process to read its exit status so the parent knows if it finished successfully, after which it’s removed from the process table (this is called “reaping”)

wataksampingan:

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it’d stopped to give people rain. Then it’d stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that’s why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren’t meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

us in another universe

Do you remember?

Of course not. Let me remind you

Remember when we ran through the Trees? Before the Ice came and the forests dried up; we were part of the Trees, they were part of us. Before we learned to Breathe Noisy and know each other’s thoughts, we felt the bark beneath our claws and leaped from branch to branch. The way the branches swayed under our weight. The warmth of the day after so long spent hiding in night

Do you remember?

When we crawled through the Night? When we hid our bodies in the cool earth in the day? Our small, sharp teeth, our narrow body? How we spent so long in the dark that we lost our Colors?

Do you remember?

Why we turned our back on the Sun?

When the mountain fell from the sky and the dinosaurs died? When the earth was ash and the sky was fire?

Do you remember when we huddled together, and survived?
