I have an irrepressible desire to Check things and I don’t really think it’s some kind of pathological thing created by social media to be honest even though it’s an urge that logically can only be fulfilled through the internet. because if there’s nothing interesting for me to check pertaining to myself I will absolutely just check my friends things. I just need to periodically check on things in between other things

Starving to Death Under the Bombs 💔🔥

Just two months after the ceasefire, war has returned to Gaza—this time more brutal and merciless than ever before. There is no safe place left, no time to dream of survival. The bombing never stops; the sky rains fire, and the ground is filled with rubble and corpses. No sound rises above the explosions, and no life is seen—only darkness and destruction. ☠️💣

But this time, bombs are not the only thing killing people. Hunger is even deadlier. The borders are completely sealed, and Israel is preventing any aid or food supplies from entering. Bit by bit, the stores have emptied, bakeries have shut down, and every last scrap of food has disappeared from the markets. Nothing is left but starvation… pale faces fading away, and children who cry silently after their tears have dried from unbearable pain. 🥀🍞

Experience the epic conclusion to the MISERICORDE™ trilogy in: MISERICORDE™: NUN LEFT ALIVE. Trade Hedwig’s quill for thrills in an all-new 3-D adventure.

You ever think about the MOVE bombing and then think about the fact that so few US Americans even know that the MOVE bombing like. Happened.

"The United States is dedicated to moving bombs away from people who would use them for nefarious purposes! Google MOVE bombing to learn more!"

jesus christ 😐

this also doesn't come close to telling the whole story.

the Philadelphia police harassed the MOVE organization for over a decade. MOVE began with peaceful protests against conditions at long-term-care facilities and against the city Zoo's mistreatment of animals. in 1972, police classified the group’s use of profanity as riotous and designated them violent threats to public order. the actual reason was their radical abolitionist message.

the Philadelphia police department had a brutal, corrupt, and racist reputation long before MOVE entered the picture. despite that fact, MOVE’s claims of police brutality typically fell on deaf ears, even when they had undeniable proof of mistreatment. the bombing is only one part of the story both because it is the culmination of violence between MOVE and the police and also because it is part of the broader narrative of police brutality in Philadelphia that is still largely played out today.

in 1957, two Black men were beaten by three off duty and allegedly drunk police officers, putting one in the hospital for 19 days. the commissioner at the time testified that all officers were trained in "race relations," which involved things such as having officers brandish shotguns out the window of their patrol vehicles as a show of force in so called "shotgun squads." the three officers were not convicted of any crimes.

in 1960, shots indiscriminately fired by officer Robert Marinelli killed two innocent Black bystanders. Marinelli was charged, tried, and then found not guilty on all charges by an all-white jury.

in 1967, a guy named Frank Rizzo became the police chief. his nickname while working in West Philadelphia as a captain was "The Cisco Kid," which referenced the fictional cowboy who "killed for the love of it or any other reason that came to mind." he referred to "vermin" in Philadelphia as the source of the crime and decline.

shortly after he was appointed, he sicced 300 officers in riot gear on Black students and advisors protesting the Board of Education who were protesting the lack of Black studies and Black teachers. Rizzo ordered the officers to "get their Black asses." 57 protesters were arrested, dozens were beaten, and 15 were hospitalized. Frank Rizzo was elected Mayor of Philadelphia 3 years later and during his bid for re-election in 1975, he said that he would "make Attila the Hun look like a faggot" once he was reelected.

so yeah, not only is the MOVE bombing virtually unheard of by the average person in America (and it's not much better in academia, for that matter), but the story that is often told when people do hear about is that this all happened in a vacuum "due to the actions of a violent Black resistance group." in reality, it was the culmination of over 50 years of brutality against Black people and minorities in Philly.

“silver lining” they call it gin-san i think

many activists involved the ferguson uprising were mysteriously murdered. at least one activist i know of was murdered after the uprising in louisville. like the united states never ever ever wants an organized movement like the civil rights movement of 50’s-60’s to ever happen again and they’re are more than willing to murder, maim, and disappear people to make that the case.

This is one of the more ambitious pieces I've done for a bit, and I did it on an absurd deadline, but my trans dragon back patch is done! The project ended up taking 130 hours of working time to finish, using two strands of cotton floss for both fills and outlines. The base pattern was from my own collection and was originally from 1936.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Wearing this vest in public makes me very very visible to everyone around me and I'd make it again in a heartbeat.

ME N GOOSE JADE CABBAGE TOURISM WARRIOR'S BOND

In my dreams, everything was burning. A voice was calling out for me.

Summoned forth as the intended sacrifice of a mysterious ritual, a young man finds himself in a new world with the face of his attempted killer, Acacius Duval, as well as a looming death curse if he doesn’t carry out Acacius’ last will. However, while Acacius has left many looming problems, he didn’t leave behind the most important piece: his memories.

That would have been too convenient for navigating a world stitched together from apocalypses.

Fortunately, after only a few life and death trials, Acacius’ unintentional replacement is sent away to the prestigious Nithemoore Academy, where he can learn everything he needs to know about the world and gain the power to grasp his freedom…

At least, if the tracks of history don’t doom him first.

First three chapters out now! 130k words pre-written, and updates every Saturday. Hope to see you there!
