somehow no matter what the world keeps turning

lethal dance

Is it considered body horror when you break the family curse of drugs/alcohol but you still inherited the exact same all-consuming impulsiveness in your veins that drove them to addiction for generations. Or is that nothing

March 20, 2025 - People across Türkiye clashed with riot police as they defied the protest ban, after the AKP had Erdoğan's main political rival Imamoğlu arrested. [video]

USA news constantly make rounds in this app, its time people see our fight too. This is what’s been happening in Turkey for the past 4 days

Here's an article with more information about what's going on in Turkey

[Video is various clips of the protests, featuring protesters trying to break a police barricade, police using pepper spray on civilians, and some flashing lights. At the very end of the clip, two protesters are dancing.]

Your dirge was derivative and boring and your funeral in general was easily forgettable But i can give you a second chance

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history

This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.

My friend is surrounded by the army

The IOF has given my friend Abed @mohmad5 and his wife @safa-abed seven hours to leave before bombing starts.

They are crouched in the rubble of their former home waiting to die.

The road costs $1000 per person. I have no hope of getting him this without help. Please do what you can for him.

Vetted #47 (his wife is also vetted)

captured from an ambulance. captured. from an ambulance. do not stop speaking about palestine please

"They abused and intimidated us, saying, ‘here is your home, I destroyed it and all your family members were killed."

Freed Palestinian hostage Ibrahim al-Shawish, recounted the psychological and physical torture he endured in Israeli prisons.

This is the sickness of Zionism. A death cult. The world needs to be cleansed of it.

Our night is very difficult and it seems that it is the most difficult. It is possible that we will not get out alive, as the shells are everywhere and there are a large number of wounded and martyrs.

It's almost unbelievable as I write these words while quadcopters are firing at us and the Israeli artillery is firing non-stop shells.

The cowardly Israeli occupation chooses the night to attack us, deliberately frightening the children and killing the largest possible number of innocent civilians. It is a merciless army. They kill us without being asked about anything because no one will hold them accountable.
