israel tries to hide its military failures and losses by murdering children and civilians in their tents so they can have a *number of casualties* to report with and pretend they did something.
THIS.
2 massacres happened just today, with more than 200 killed!!
Al-Mawasi massacre in Khan Yunis, where a 100 Palestinians were killed. (X)
Al-Shati Camp massacre, where Palestinians were killed while praying!!! (X) (X)
Every hour in Gaza, a new massacre is committed. I lost my family in a horrific massacre that claimed the lives of more than 25 of my relatives, including my mother, father, sisters, and their children. The pain is indescribable, and the reality surpasses all words.
Please share and donate so that I do not lose my children and my husband as well .🥺

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 2.04 The Red Dragon and the Gold
You're a child. An infant. Your mocking is thus infantile. He's not my boyfriend. This man is more to me than you can dream. He's the moon when I'm lost in darkness and warmth when I shiver in cold. And his kiss still thrills me, even after a millennia. His heart overflows with a kindness of which this world is not worth of. I love this man beyond measure and reason. He's not my boyfriend. He's all and he's more.

Wetlanders call it "the Waste." It is the Three-Fold Land. A shaping stone to make us, a testing ground to prove our worth, and a punishment for the sin. What sin? Nobody remembers, it was so long ago.

oh my god i didn’t realize this video had audio
Okay as adorable as this looks, I’m pretty sure that’s a distress sound? A “mommy help me I’m scared come save me!” sound?

This video is from Dragonwood Wildlife Conservancy, and they are yearling (last year’s babies) Cuban crocodiles. Good news for you, this isn’t actually a distress call! According to @kaijutegu (and her giant bookshelf full of reptile resources), the laser sounds are an affiliative social call that young Cuban crocodiles use to communicate with their parents. They normally stop making the noise at around two years old, which is approximately when they start dispersing from the family group.
See, Cuban crocodiles are a super social species - and one of the few where the fathers stick around and provide paternal care for the babies! In the wild, babies would regularly interact with both parents, including when they provide food. This call is basically the type of vocalization that the babies use to communicated with their parents.
These crocodiles are being hand-raised as part of a private-sector breeding and reintroduction program (because the parents are so protective of their offspring that if you left them the babies to raise, you’d never be able to safely get close to them), and so they’re responding to the guy in the video the same way because he’s constant known safe individual and also the provider of food. He’s not a threat - his presence is a good thing, and he’s worth interacting with because it normally means food. You can also tell from their behavior and body language that they’re not stressed: some of the crocodiles are actively climbing on him and interaction of their own volition, but the ones that aren’t don’t show any indicators of hyper-vigilance. If that were a distress call, every crocodile that heard it would be alert and on edge looking for the threat. Distress calls tend to only happen once or twice, because in the wild continuing to make noise makes a baby more vulnerable: so these crocodiles wouldn’t be continually vocalizing if they felt threatened. There’s no snapping or gaping or freezing, all of which would be behavioral indicators of distress or discomfort. (Here’s a video of a baby nile crocodile being harassed by photographers which will give you a visual reference for both freezing and gaping.)
So, hey, this is certifiably cute - and good for conservation!
