I swear to God, if someone were to trap 2 million animals, deprive them of food and water, and kill 50,000 of them, the world would be shaken by this catastrophe and brutality.
What's happening is unbelievable, illogical. We are human beings... human beings!!
If we do not die from the occupation's bombing, we will die in the air Please help us and donate to our families here.
ID: a poster affixed to a bulletin board. On the poster is written a poem, first in Arabic, and then the English translation.
The translation reads as follows:
"In order to write non-political poetry,
I must listen to the birds,
And in order to hear the birds,
I must silence the plane.
— Marwan Makhoul"
End image description.
poem in Arabic:
لكي أكتب شعراً ليس سياسياً
يجب أن أستمع إلى العصافير
و لكي أسمع العصافير
يجب أن تخرس الطائرة
(مروان مخول)
nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations
the ghost portal has its own agenda smh
While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured I’d post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.
Here it is again with text for anyone who can’t see the picture
"There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
"No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul."
I’m reblogging this again. Omar El Akkad also wrote a novel called American War. The premise being that Americans will only care about things like the Arab Spring if it happens to them. The novel is a near future dystopia combining the climate destruction of America with a second civil war. His style is very readable. I’d urge everyone to read it.
it's called the switch 2 because you turn 2 degrees and walk away
just found this picture from an assignment i did last year
