Yes hello, i am Ashen, I use he/him, I'm bi as fuck, and I'm a STEMbo you might ask yourself, "Ashen, what is a stembo?" well, a stembo is a himbo\bimbo\thembo who is also in STEM. that means they are supposed to be smart and have book smarts, but they are also massive fucking idiots. You can only be a STEMbo if you drink a lot of respect women juice and believe trans rights are human rights

I'm Israeli, i'm proud to be Israeli. i don't like how things happen int he west bank and wish for peace, but i believe in the right of israel to exist as a state and am unapologetic about it.

I post politics on @ashenpumpkin-but-politics

Being from Greece makes a lot of the arguments people give on why Israel should be destroyed sound even more ridiculous and weird. (especially when these people are also fellow greeks) ''Israel is an ethno state!!!''- You mean a nation state, and yes, so is Greece

''The founding of Israel was based on displacement of Palestinians''- Look, I don't want to minimize that at all because people losing their homes is fucking terrible but that doesn't mean the solution is expelling Israelis now. There was a population exchange between Greece and Tuurkey in 1922. Both sides ethnically cleansed people. It was a terrible thing to do. But both Turkey and Greece exist now as two seperate states with clearly defined borders (if you ignore some shit erdogan tries to pull in the agean). And you don't question Greece's or Turkey's right to not be wiped off.

''Israeli identity is fake because it was based on smth that happened 3000 years ago!!!''- Ok sorry to break it to you but us Greeks have made our entire national identity revolve around who we were 3000 years ago. And if you want to argue abt fakeness of identity I would argue ours was a less organic one. Jewish people maintained the same religion and basic belief systems for 3000 years. They continuously felt the connection with Eretz Yisrael. We switched to Orthodox christianity from whatever 12 god shit we had, we lost most of our literacy that allowed us to keep tpuch with ancient texts, we embraced so many customs from the Ottomans and YET it was still valid when we tried to reclaim our ancient greek identity to build a nation partly on the basis of that

''European colonial powers helped prop up Israel which means it is an imperialistic state!''- Do you think Greece got independence or gained more land purely through OUR military strength lol?

BTW one of the reasons i support a 2 state solution so much is bcs I think us and Turkey did a relatively fine job at accepting that although both turkish and greek populations have historically resided in both greek areas and asia minor (which today is turkey) there needs to be a compromise so that we both live in peace.

The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag.

no offense, but if the pitt was noah wyle's personal pet project designed to aggrandize him and paint him in the best possible light and make his character look awesome and badass and sexy....... have you considered that maybe they would try to make robby more likeable? like, how did you watch fifteen episodes of robby unraveling and lashing out at beloved characters and making obviously poor decisions and your single takeaway was "noah wyle is so vain and wants everyone to love his character" 😭😭😭😭😭

Are the flotilla people and their friends right thast the blockade is illegal?

I went into detail on the blockade by Israel and Egypt about a year ago, around the same time I explained how full of shit Greta's flotilla was.

The claim that the blockade is a violation of international law completely ignores how the laws of war actually work.

Under Article 51 of the UN Charter, every country has an inherent right to self-defense. In an ongoing armed conflict, a blockade is a standard, legally recognized tool used to cut off an enemy's supply lines and stop them from importing weapons.

International law regulates blockades. According to the San Remo Manual, a blockade is perfectly legal as long as it is officially declared, actually enforced, and doesn't have the sole purpose of starving civilians.

Because this maritime blockade is specifically designed to stop military contraband (like rockets and dual-use materials) while allowing inspected humanitarian aid through, it ticks every legal box.

The United Nations itself thoroughly investigated this and published the Palmer Report.

The UN panel explicitly concluded that the naval blockade of Gaza is both legal and a legitimate security measure to prevent weapons smuggling.

I'd argue it isn't as effective as it should be - but it's legal.

When you add the land borders to the mix, the argument collapses entirely. Egypt is a sovereign nation. Under international law, a sovereign state has an absolute right to control its own borders. Egypt has no legal obligation to keep its frontier open to a territory run by an armed group it considers a national security threat.

Neither Israel nor Egypt is legally required to maintain open, uninspected trade routes with a hostile entity - and Hamas has been relentlessly hostile to both Israeli and Egyptian civilians.

I talk about this so much. The relationship between Dineʼé and Israelis is so beautiful and has only grown deeper and more beneficial over time. Presidents and other tribal leaders from the Diné nation have visited Israel for diplomatic missions numerous times; there have been exchange programs to aid with education, cultural revitalization, economics; Dineʼé have studied Israeli water management and agriculture to adapt to the conditions in Dinétah (due to the similar climates) and Israeli technologies have provided much-needed resources to Dinétah that the US federal government neglected to provide. Indigenous peoples supporting each other, despite the objections of those who want us weak and impoverished (or worse).

If sunscreen is really not happening for you, for whatever reason, then you need to do what our ancestors did and shade yourself with clothing. Get long sleeved shirts made from colored linen (white may be too transparent) and a big hat.

Do not bake. Humans are not suited to baking.

[nonbinaryjudean]

also please, for the love of g-d, do not trust anyone on social media telling you that sunscreen you can buy in the store is bad for you or to make your own or use pure zinc or whatever. there is so much science that goes into making sunscreen and it's designed to protect you.

and yes, everyone should wear sunscreen, no matter your skin tone.

and yes, its made of chemicals. youll never believe this but water is also a chemical.

sun damage is EXTREMELY serious even if skin cancer is treatable you really dont want to risk it.

also being sunburnt just fucking sucks a lot i made this post bc yesterday i was outdoors for several hours and i thought i had put enough sunscreen on and i DID but i seem to have missed a few spots and now the skin on my shoulders is super swollen and warm to the touch and painful. sunburns SUCK and i promise you, as a person who also used to fucking hate sunscreen bc of my sensory issues, its much more unpleasant to be burnt.
