Are my parents yelling or are we just really Italian? A novel
i had no idea subtitles were such a hot topic for americans. people are really coming out of the woodwork to admit that they cannot fucking read huh and i don’t mean people who struggle with illiteracy for some reason i mean white americans who think it’s beneath them to read words on a screen
Italians literally have maggot cheese. Ain’t nobody joking about it 🤔
There's something so deeply evil about making fun of and blaming regular Chinese people for a virus all while they're the ones suffering through it, dying and losing family members and friends as if the victims created the virus on purpose with their own hands specifically to annoy you like if this had happened in germany or something everyone would be like #prayforgermany #iamparis like i hope you die
series: *male and female character make eye contact and smile*
me: oh no. oh god no please
Of all the people we should be drug testing it should be the people who have literal stashes of drugs at their work place
If you listen to US cop propaganda it sounds like they have the most dangerous job there is, and that the ridiculous militarisation of the police force is for their protection, and not just because they’re violent, cowardly bullies on an ego trip. They even have their own little thin blue line flag for bootlickers to show their support for the poor, heroic police men who were just doing their job when they murder black people and beat their wives. Anyway, it turns out that police officer is only the 14th most dangerous job in the US (and that most deaths on the job come from traffic accidents), So I made a bunch of Thin [adjective] Line flags for the people who actually deserve our respect and support, with jobs that are more dangerous than being a cop. The 13 most dangerous jobs in the US: 13. Construction laborers 12. First-line supervisors of mechanics, installers, and repairers 11. Grounds maintenance workers 10. Miscellaneous agricultural workers 9. First-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers 8. Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers 7. Delivery drivers and truck drivers 6. Structural iron and steel workers 5. Refuse and recyclable material collectors 4. Roofers 3. Aircraft pilots and flight engineers 2. Fishers and related fishing workers 1. Logging workers So, if you happen to know a garbage man, delivery driver or a lumberjack or whatever, why not print out some bumper stickers of their own Thin [x] Line flag, and thank them for doing their dangerous job without using it as an excuse to murder innocent people.
on september 11th 2001, two planes crashed into the world trade centre in new york city. It was a massacre. 3000 dead in a matter of 24 hours. the entire world was in shock of the atrocity, the brutal, diabolical murder of scores of innocents.
the american government reacted accordingly. a full investigation was launched to hold the culprits responsible – what nation could have sanctioned such a brutal attack on so many innocents? what kind of soulless country could, regardless of vendetta, allow such a heinous crime?
by 2002, the united states had their answer. the investigation was complete. A 600 page document known as the Congressional Report on 9/11 was released. approx 20 pages detailing the workings of the nation responsible were produced. The report was published.
Except the name of the country responsible for 9/11 was redacted in the report. blackened out with a sharpie. It would remain redacted for 14 years. The country in question? Saudi Arabia.
Instead of declaring to the world who was involved in orchestrating 9/11, the u.s. would hide this information for over a decade.
Instead, they would point fingers at Iraq, whilst knowing that iraq had nothing to do with the attack in the first place. They would orchestrate journalistic propaganda in the new york times about “weapons of mass destruction” – a narrative that had been proven false by their very own intelligence officers, a narrative that had been shot down by every journalist that had ever stepped foot in Niger (where the purported ingredients of mass destruction were coming from). Regardless, the New York Times would dutifully publish the perverted stories anyway. NYT editors would say “to not invade iraq is the bigger mistake”.
In 2003, the months of building up false stories in the media, propaganda in every mainstream newspaper, journal and t.v. show would pay off. The u.s. would invade iraq.
from 2003 - 2011 the country of iraq would be brutalized in ways never seen before by mankind. modern, 21st century warfare would decimate the very spirit of iraq. at least 460 000 innocent, iraqi civilians murdered in 8 years. entire generations were wiped out in less than a decade. we will never know their names.
waves of sexual violence committed upon “captured” cities ensued at the hands of american soldiers. many of the survivors, if not dead at the hands of their occupiers, would take their own lives. we will never know their names.
in 2011, the blood in iraq is finally dry. we’ve leeched all of it. we’ve procured the natural resources we came for – it’s time to head out. the so called WMD we came for were never found, they did not exist, they were never real to begin with. A far cry from how things got started, we start seeing articles about the falsehood of the iraq war. the same publishers who willingly handed out propaganda to the masses about WMD in Saddam’s hands are now saying “wait…we’ve made an error.” the narrative shifts. the occupation ends 3 years after a new commander in chief is granted the power to end it. in its wake we leave behind military bases and mercenaries that are ready to activate whenever called upon.
That same year, the u.s. supports various popular movements across the arab world. tens of regimes are flipped.
and in that same year, using the same weapons left behind by valiant american rapists and invaders, an army of another kind of mercenaries is born. they call themselves ISIL, then ISIS.
ISIS vows to cleanse the muslim world of shia muslims, minority sect muslims, christians, yezidis, Jewish people. ISIS also vows they are enemies of the u.s. America vows vice versa. Their feud is a celebrated one. ISIS, the evil nemesis of the Brave & Courageous America.
But then, 2012 happens. America, losing their influence and control over the levant, start funding ISIS factions. America starts funding Al-Qaeda factions.
The same NYT that once convinced us that Iraq had WMD is now INSISTING that these al-qaeda factions, that themselves claim to be brothers of al-qaeda, are moderate rebels simply looking for democracy and liberation. people believe it.
America’s proxies in the levant go on to destroy the region in unimaginable ways–and then, 2018 happens.
Iraqis & Iranians destroy ISIS. Indisputably, action from both nations led to the destruction of ISIS, now a paid member of the U.S. military. America, once using ISIS and AQ factions to regain control over the levant struggles to position themselves as the heroes – attempting pathetically to play both sides of the same coin. Again, the same way outlets like NYT backtracked their Iraq war propaganda, they start apologizing for identical mistakes in naming actual american funded terrorists as “freedom fighters.” another cycle ends.
ISIS is gone, but the real loss is America’s. They’ve lost the barbaric feudalistic control they once held in the region via ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Their terrorist assets have been reduced to ashes by a people they once themselves invaded from 2003 - 2011.
This brings us to today. The united states has assassinated Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s second in command. this is akin to another nation murdering the likes of mike pence, joe biden or dick cheney. it is an act of war. 4000 troops have been deployed to the Iraq-Iran region. It is an invasion.
And just as in 2003 the NYT & MSM justified the faulty invasion of iraq, and just as in 2012 the NYT & MSM justified the funding of ISIS & AQ factions, in 2020, a new propaganda will circulate to justify the illegal assassination of sovereign leaders.
New propaganda will circulate to justify a new era of bloodshed in Iraq & Iran and the rape and murder of innocents. New propaganda will vilify young, brown children as terrorists. New propaganda will circulate to return us to the year 2003.
There is nothing I can do within my capacity to help anyone. I am completely useless in saving any of the lives that will be taken in the next several years.
All I can do is ask that when you see a piece of information that attempts to justify the actions of the u.s. on foreign soil, in any foreign nation, that you reduce it to ashes. They lied to you in 2003, they did it again in 2011, they are doing it again in 2020.
Reject the lie. It’s all we can do.
When I say I literally screamed I don’t mean like internet screamed
boot up, Bitch
Boot up, Bitch!
MOOD! #2019goals
“Boot up, bitch!” is an affirmation
Y'all better take that energy into 2020 and stop playing
#BootUp2020
in case anyone thinks this means “toughen up” Those boot covers are tools. those spikes aren’t an inherent part of the boots your friends, your family, meds if you need them, therapy, healthy life changes when you can, these things are your boots get your boots on and climb those stairs at your own pace, aka: Boot Up, Bitches! We’re making 2020 the year we recover
Thank you for that last addition. I always disliked the flippant nature of this post, but that’s a really good take.
I’m putting my foot down, if you don’t Know you’re flirting you’re not Flirting. Flirting requires knowledge and intent. If you’re not doing it on purpose you’re just bantering. I will die on this hill, yes.
I always feel like people think I’m flirting and that makes me feel unsafe. this makes me feel like I have some agency and that I can just kinda say, “no, flirting requires forethought. we’re just talking and I’m being nice.”
SAY THIS LOUDER
Sometimes it be like that
Remaking this post because honestly the other one floating around was very poorly worded and didn’t explain anything.
Reddit has a number of communities dedicated to helping people out financially. Although I’m not personally familiar with the site and how these subreddits function, the success rate seems to be higher on there than it is on tumblr.
While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you using a website you are familiar with to ask for help, Tumblr isn’t the best when it comes to helping people out money wise; with that being said, here are some alternatives that may work better in your favor (Note: these WILL have stricter rules in place than posting a donation link to tumblr would- they have this to prevent scamming but it may bar people from receiving assistance in certain situations so please keep this in mind).
Monetary/Necessity Assistance Subs: - /r/Assistance - Req: Registered account / 300 Combined Karma - /r/Charity - Req: Registered account 30 days old / 300 Comment Karma / Crowdfunding links only (include a description in your post) - /r/FoodPantry - Req: Account 90 days / 300 Comment Karma / Actively posting in non-charity subs for 90 days - r/gofundme - Req: Account 30 days / 300+ Comment Karma / 1 submission per user - /r/RandomActsOfPetFood - Req: Account 90 days / 500 Comment Karma / No monetary requests / Must wait 1 month between each request personally posted
Advice Subs: - /r/AlmostHomeless - No visible reqs; No donation posts - r/freelance - No visible reqs; Soliciting work, links and self-promotion banned - r/homeless - No reqs; Must be homelessness-related; Soliciting donations banned - r/transitions - No visible reqs
If you know of any other helpful subs/websites feel free to add!
Thank you so much for this post OP, you laid out the information very clearly
To people who are desperately asking for fundz/donations on tumblr.
USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!
Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:
/r/Assistance /r/legaladvice /r/RandomKindness /r/Charity /r/care /r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza /r/Food_Pantry https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfPetFood/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfChristmas/ https://www.reddit.com/r/almosthomeless/ https://www.reddit.com/r/homeless
/r/freelance /r/povertyfinance /r/thrifty /r/borrow /r/gofundme
/r/depression /r/familysupport /r/transitions
I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN REBLOG THIS SO WE CAN START REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DONATION POSTS THAT GET STUCK FLOATING AROUND THIS WEBSITE
i’ve seen a lot of twitter apologies lately that include the line “i didn’t read the article, just the headline/screenshot” and hey i’m glad people are at least admitting it now, that’s something! but there’s a lesson here for all of us
