Take care of yourselves, darlings.

Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.

Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.

Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.

EDIT: Twitter banned @/nosferatusexgod, the student shot, whose tweet I linked to (as a primary source) at the top of the post. Screenshots of the tweet I originally linked to can be found here.

Israel has deployed auto-firing quadcopters that emit the sounds of crying babies.

There is no possible reality where this is in any way capable of being passed off as self-defense. It was never self-defense. It is, and always has been, a genocide.

Crying babies. Crying babies. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, meant to draw out and kill civilians while also making it far more difficult to locate and aid children who are trapped or alone.

If you have money to spare, please consider donating to some of the fundraisers on Operation Olive Branch to help people escape this genocide.

End the occupation. Free Palestine.

I liked this prematurely because I wanted to investigate for myself but yeah, it's true. Here's two news outlets reporting on the matter: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/disturbing-recordings-crying-infants-played-israeli-quadcopters-lure-gaza-residents-shooting https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6271 Normally I try to find a recurring pattern for stuff like this however I think this information is too fresh for there to be a considerable precedent yet.

One thing that I didn’t see mentioned was that the resistance in Gaza were using the recordings of children laughing to draw in the IDF for an ambush.

And really, I think this really does encapsulate how awful Israel actually is. One side uses the recordings of crying children to prey on basic human kindness and compassion.

The other side uses recordings of children playing and laughing because they know their target is explicitly targeting kids.

If I wrote this, it’d be considered cartoonishly ridiculous.

netizens are desensitising gruesome things that are taking place in Palestine.

even the internet’s reaction to graphic things such as - pictures of injured children, civilians stuck under rubble, dead bodies of families in their destroyed homes etc. is beyond underwhelming.

DO NOT NORMALISE GENOCIDE.

BREAK THE STIGMA.

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

[tattooedzombigirl]

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

I just find this so funny. It’s basically just…

“If a fire is happening, don’t use the stairs. Just jump through a window and hope and pray to some higher deity or to the universe that you’ll somehow live!”

“Don’t use the elevator! Just wingardium leviosa yourself down to the ground!”

“Here, how about you throw yourself out of the building and die instead of inhaling smoke that’ll suffocate you/burning to death.”

I mean, that’s one way to get yourself out of that situation… YOU HEARD THEM KIDS, IT’S TIME TO LEARN HOW TO FLY!
