Hala Consulting and Tourism Services, a firm owned by Sinai tribal leader and business tycoon Ibrahim al-Organi, has been charging Palestinians crossing from Gaza's Rafah to Egypt at least $5,000 per adult and $2,500 for children under 16.
It has a monopoly on providing transfer services at the Rafah crossing, the only Gaza exit not bordered with Israel and the single route out of the coastal enclave for Palestinians.
In the past three months alone, the company is estimated to have made a minimum of $118m, or 5.6 billion Egyptian pounds, from desperate Palestinians trying to leave war-torn Gaza.
Prior to the war, Hala charged everyone exiting Gaza via the Rafah crossing $350 per person, but the price has increased 14-fold for Palestinians.

We knew this all along but this surely puts things in perspective. But just how despicable do you have to be to profit off of people fleeing genocide? Absolutely disgusting and I hope this firm burns to the ground along with its owner.
that post about how people need to educate themselves reminds me of smth.
I went to and graduated from a PWI (I'm talking like, 89% white) and it was a moderatly sized university in a rural-ish midwest town.
While there, I took a handful of courses about race or where race would come up as a common topic. And even in like a 300 level journalism class, I would encounter people that would be like "Well I came from a small town, I never saw POCs of Color growing up!" and I was like. Okay. Sure. But You're an Adult, you grew up with the internet, you've been at university for at least a few years. I'm sorry but I do not accept the excuse of "I've Never Been Around Brown or Black People". At some point you have to fucking take the initiative and seek shit out. You can't spend your life blaming growing up in a small white town or the school system not talking about racism.
And people thought I was being such an unreasonable bitch for being upset about this. I had white allies tell me that it was unfair to judge white people for being uneducated. But no, this I will stand by. You cannot wait to be educated. If you want to be an ally or just not be a shitty racist, you need to sit yourself down and start educating yourself. Google shit. Read books. Interact with media that isn't made by white people. Your high school didn't teach you about slavery or colonization? There's a solution, take education into your own hands.

The whole "the brain isn't fully mature until age 25" bit is actually a fairly impressive bit of psuedoscience for how incredibly stupid the way it misinterprets the data it's based on is.
Okay, so: there's a part of the human brain called the "prefrontal cortex" which is, among other things, responsible for executive function and impulse control. Like most parts of the brain, it undergoes active "rewiring" over time (i.e., pruning unused neural connections and establishing new ones), and in the case of the prefrontal cortex in particular, this rewiring sharply accelerates during puberty.
Because the pace of rewiring in the prefrontal cortex is linked to specific developmental milestones, it was hypothesised that it would slow down and eventually stop in adulthood. However, the process can't directly be observed; the only way to tell how much neural rewiring is taking place in a particular part of the brain is to compare multiple brain scans of the same individual performed over a period of time.
Thus, something called a "longitudinal study" was commissioned: the same individuals would undergo regular brain scans over a period of mayn years, beginning in early childhood, so that their prefrontal development could accurately be tracked.
The longitudinal study was originally planned to follow its subjects up to age 21. However, when the predicted cessation of prefrontal rewiring was not observed by age 21, additional funding was obtained, and the study period was extended to age 25. The predicted cessation of prefrontal development wasn't observed by age 25, either, at which point the study was terminated.
When the mainstream press got hold of these results, the conclusion that prefrontal rewiring continues at least until age 25 was reported as prefrontal development finishing at age 25. Critically, this is the exact opposite of what the study actually concluded. The study was unable to identify a stopping point for prefrontal development because no such stopping point was observed for any subject during the study period. The only significance of the age 25 is that no subjects were tracked beyond this age because the study ran out of funding!
It gets me when people try to argue against the neuroscience-proves-everybody-under-25-is-a-child talking point by claiming that it's merely an average, or that prefrontal development doesn't tell the whole story. Like, no, it's not an average – it's just bullshit. There's no evidence that the cited phenomenon exists at all. If there is an age where prefrontal rewiring levels off and stops (and it's not clear that there is), we don't know what age that is; we merely know that it must be older than 25.
its literally crazy that macklemore of all people is one of the few artists to be outspoken about palestine rn
i owe you a apology i wasnt familiar with your game
The big secret is that Macklemore has always been a talented rapper, it just became popular to make fun of him because “The Heist” and its associated singles (“Thrift Shop” and “Same Love”) got him such a disproportionate amount of attention that it rubbed people the wrong way. A corny white guy comes out of nowhere, raps about gay people and thrifting old fur coats, and then gets handed a Grammy in the same year that objectively better rap albums by far more respected artists came out. But if you go back and listen to “The Heist,” separating it from that original context, a lot of it is really good! It’s a pretty unique, well-made project. He discusses the weird position he was put in on “A Wake”
wait you understand that kinks are ok because they're fantasies that make you happy right? you all get that you don't need to have trauma for your kinks to be okay? right? like none of you think i witnessed a tragic accident on the pool toy assembly line right?
like "some people work through their personal issues with kink" was a good first step for some of the class that were struggling but i think now we're ready for "things that don't hurt anyone and make people happy are okay even if you personally think it's icky"
BECAUSE ROUGE THE BAT DRAWN AS WIDE AS SHE IS TALL WITH TITS TO MATCH KILLED MY GRANDMA, OKAY?

The best outcome is that she tells him to fuck off, and he bans her in retaliation. Then all her follower terfs will go after him, and chaos will ensue.
when i was a kid i used to clip and sharpen my nails into points so if i grabbed somebody, it'd hurt more & maybe make them bleed. now i am an adult filing my incredibly short nails down and rounding the edges because no way in hell will i allow the possibility of injury with THESE mitts. unless consensual of course.

I will probably reblog this every time I see it on my dash because it’s absolutely stunning
This is literally insane. How did you have the patience. Tell me your secrets o’ art god.
ok!!! :0
Part of me is like “neat. Reblog,” and part of me is like “I understand now why impressionism took off, because there’s a 0% chance the artist wasn’t like ‘fuck this shit’ by the halfway point.”
