dude in the other side of the confessional, smoothing back his more salt than pepper hair, tugging at his collar, breaking into a slight nervous sweat that highlights his crows feet and laugh lines: Is that so?
The Israeli prisoners aren't the point and they never were the point, but I can't help but wonder how those people feel, knowing their government left them for dead. I saw a video by Bisan today where 4 female prisoners are thanking the resistance in Arabic for protecting them from IOF bombs. I don't know man, I wouldn't be able to go back "home" after that. I'd be packing my bags and leaving...
they were absolutely trying to kill those people to the israeli propaganda machine the narrative that the died was more useful than them still being alive
I’ve had Pretty Puppy for as long as I can remember! You can see he’s been very well loved, as his back seam has visible stitching that was done by my dad when I was still teeny tiny. To be loved is to be changed
Firefighter demonstrates how to put out a kitchen fire
Reblog to actually save a life
To explain. The latter works because you’re cutting off the supply of oxygen to the fire and suffocating it
as opposed to slapping oxygen inside the pan with the downward motion
Reblogging, because this is so important. When I was learning how to cook for myself in my tweens, I had at least a five years of fire safety seminars from school drilling this into my head, and I STILL had that instinctive put-the-fire-out-with-water reflex. Didn’t even think. I saw our oily burner catch fire after frying eggs, whipped around towards the sink for water, and my brain immediately screamed NO!!! NO WATER!
I mean that fire safety stuff straight up bitchslapped me out of REFLEXIVELY setting my house on fire. I found a pot lid and inched it over the burner before turning off the heat. Even if you think you know this stuff, panic is powerful shit. Make knowledge more powerful.

i try to reblog this every few times i see it because you might someday need to know how to put out a fire.

Disclaimer: my hatred of geologists is purely theatrical, but if I did have to kill one for some reason, it would be very easy.
I’d brandish my obsidian knife at them and they’d be compelled to approach. “That’s very cool,” they’d say, confident in their superior strength and endurance from all the rocks they carry around at all times. They’d shower me with very interesting facts about obsidian and hover just out of range of the cutting edge, waiting for me to exhaust myself. “But as it is volcanic glass, it’s very fragile, you see, and isn’t well-suited for use as a weap—” and then I’d hit them with the wooden baseball bat in my other hand, which they would not have noticed because geologists can only see rocks and minerals.
Showed my Geologist dad a picture of the obsidian knife you had and he nearly said this exact thing word for word. I can’t believe my own father would fall prey to this. Clearly you know thine enemy
I work too closely with geologists not to have a contingency plan for eliminating them.
This pandemic is really proving that government has the means to solve all problems they just choose not to
I studied abroad in London in 2014 and my British Politics professor literally brought in a former homeless woman who had been made not-homeless when, during the 2012 Olympics, she and everyone else were given temporary housing to keep them off the streets. and while some people returned to being homeless afterwards, most people didn’t, because it turns out it’s easier to get a job and be secure if you already have the house thing taken care of.
the government could absolutely fix homelessness today, and it would solve homelessness not just temporarily, but for the long term. but the government chooses not to, not because it’s expensive (it’s more expensive to have homeless people than it is to give them homes), not because it doesn’t work (there are a lot of studies confirming that it does), but because some people think that being poor is a moral failing that can only be solved by shitting on them some more.
Re-blogged again and as many times as possible!
As someone who was homeless in the 2010’s it is absolutely a government enforced issue that can be resolved with as much ease as ending world hunger which can also be resolved with as much ease as signing a sheet of paper.
In the past 24 hours, over two dozen people from across the federal government leaked to me various internal directives and memos killing their agencies’ DEI programs. One angry official even sent me Elon Musk’s new official White House email address (I verified the address, belonging to the Executive Office of the President, by sending an email which didn’t bounce back.)
In fact, I’ve gotten more leaked documents in the past day than I’ve gotten on any other day ever
Here are all the leaked memos too. Extremely fucking dystopian. They all share an email government employees are supposed to use to report “DEIA related” people and programs trying to “obscure their connection” to it - “DEIAtruth@opm.gov”

If you’re going to spam this inbox, the best thing you can do is make false reports that will force them to waste time/resources investigating said false reports. Obvious spam can just be deleted.
There was a suggestion on Bluesky to start reporting every white man hired to the cabinet.
I’m almost 30 and still amazed you can just walk into a library and pull a book off a shelf and read it, don’t even need to ask anyone, can just sit down and read book for free until closing time. There is nothing that free anywhere else that isn’t serreptitiouly religious or requiring registration. that’s how stuff should be. Libraries are so good
And if you live in the city/county the library is in you can probably even take that book home for free. Not just “can” but are actively encouraged to.
if i was 26 and had just woken up from a 70 year suicide-induced coma with no one in the present remembering who i am and instead conflating me with the ever changing image of the role i played in ww2 that now serves as american propaganda and 2 weeks ago i was watching guys get half of their faces blown off and a week after that the love of my life fell off of a moving train with me only being able to watch and then i had to like… deal with a billionaire nepo baby war profiteer calling me an old man and saying there’s nothing special about me i would have started killing people. but unfortunately it happened to steve rogers. and he has, like, morals. so

i am very fond of the era in scps where they constantly dropped references to foundation front companies that all have the acronym ‘scp.’ really endearing cheesiness
video: an edit of the “are you winning son?” meme where a stick figure dad walks into a room, saying “oh shit a wizard.” there is a wizard, a white 3 legged animal with a witch hat on and a smiley face, standing in the corner, surrounded by scribbles. between the dad and the wizard is a 3d orb being rotated by the wizard while lightning bolts fire out of it erratically. the climax of the song “phantom of the opera” by andrew lloyd webber is playing loudly while the phantom screams over it. end ID
My little DnDers (grades 5-9) are so sweet because they all picked their spells individually and almost all of my spellcasters said something like “what’s a spell that can help my friends? which spells can I use to help the whole group? how do I heal my friends?”
Don’t even get me started on the one who was like “what about you? where’s your character?” and when I explained the role of the GM she was like “oh… is that what you WANT to do? do you want to make a character too?”
Yes sweety I want to be the GM. I sort of signed up for this.

A few days ago, I found this little one in my sink. It’s the middle of winter, and even the house spiders are chilly and brumating for the most part, so it was a surprise to see it trapped in my kitchen sink.
There are a lot of ways to react to finding spiders in places you don’t think they should be, but I think it’s good to practice kindness. However, I can’t put this one outside. It was -1F with a -30 wind-chill.
So instead, I placed her into Hadah’s old enclosure, a little 4x4x8 acrylic. It already had dirt and moss and old snail shells in the bottom, and a clean up crew thriving. She immediately ate two of the isopods, and by today she has webs up all over inside, and was out sunning herself at the top. She let me get a picture before scurrying to safety.
I’ll keep her fed and hydrated until spring, and let her go in the yard, I think. Hopefully she’s still young, and will grow her missing leg back in the next molt or two.
Well it’s a good thing our nations leader is a level headed person who cares about his people, is in good standing with the rest of the world and can convince other countries to help us out in out time of need.
