GET DOWN MR STRANGE THEY FOUND YOU

NO TWITTER STOP LOOKING THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE

[strange-aeons]

Okay fine let’s unpack this

1. Calling me a tumblrina: feels wrong coming from a twitter user but at least it’s true

2. Calling me a millennial: fine. Pretty sure I’m elder gen z but the soup zone between 1995 and 2000 can go either way depending on who you ask

3. Calling me a mall goth. Intriguingly nonsensical. Mall goth is a subculture which has been dead for like 15 slutty slutty years. Of course there are kids in Tripp pants puppeting its corpse around on tiktok but I am very much not one of them. No elements of my style are mall goth I’m literally some guy in a black shirt.

think about lesbian sex on. the. clock.

[nonbinarybeartrade]

even when they're playing taylor swift in the lobby. You can't break my spirit you vile woman

[poledancingghostson]

I hate to break it to you but all of Taylor Swift’s songs are about lesbian sex

if you went outside and interacted with real life adult humans you would discover so many wonderful things

accuse me of pitting two queens against each other if you like but i'm simply not fond of this implication that squirrelflight has "earned" the right to be successful and thrive where leafpool hasn't

[skinwretch]

discussing the contrast of leafpool being killed off unceremoniously between books with none of her accomplishments being remembered beyond how she served as an asset to other characters and squirrelflight being able to remain relevant and in a position of influential power and the disservice to the former is not "pitting them against each other." nothing about this observation discounts the ways in which squirrelflight suffers under the narrative, especially in regards to her continually abusive relationship with brambleclaw- it is simply noting the small ways in which one character is allowed agency where the other is not

the way they sometimes introduce fish to lakes cracks me the fuck up because they literally will just drop a bunch of them out of an airplane

imagine that happening in the warrior cats universe. dudeheart, respected warrior of riverclan is trying to chill and enjoy the five minutes of peace he has today. his new apprentice is a dipshit. the deputy is on his ass. thunderclan is up to something weird. he just wants five minutes. five goddamned minutes to himself to sit and organize his thoughts.

and then a giant metal bird screams by and dumps a fuckton of fish into the lake

what do you even say after that. what do you even do. it never fucking ends for dudeheart. it's always fucking something

[puzzlekinq]

It is very revealing that Israelis feel able to use their own bodies as preventatives against aid trucks getting into Ghazza. Obviously doing this requires betting on the assumption that your body can work as a barrier or as a shield—that is, that the operator of the machine will agree with your assessment of the mutually agreed-upon value of your body and your life. You cannot physically stop the truck. The only world in which you are stopping the truck is one with the correct personal and political circumstances to cause the operator of a truck to decide not to kill you.

This is something that is not always the case! Many people do not exist in those political circumstances! When nine or so people with the International Solidarity Movement tried to use their bodies to stop Israeli bulldozers from demolishing buildings in the Rafah refugee camp, the driver ran over Rachel Corrie twice, killing her. The activists, who had carried out similar actions in the past, expressed the understanding that they were putting themselves in danger, that there was every risk their lives would not have that agreed-upon, politicised ‘value.’

Israelis talk about feelings of “risk” and “danger”—but no one in Ghazza right now would see putting their body in front of a something as a reasonably sure means of blocking a path. Killing them would be not only acceptable collateral damage, but the point of the presence of the tanks and bombs in the first place. The evidence is clear about who is risking what, and what the real dangers are.

There's no way the cats actually know what a germ is right? Like, germ theory is still basically new in the timeline of human history, so these cats definitely would have zero idea germs exist right? like they can obviously tell about disease spreading and the like, but it's much more likely they've developed mythology about spirits or do miasma theory right? I think that would be interesting, medicine cats wrapping lavender around their noses to help prevent disease, putting nice smelling things in the nursery to help bade off disease to the kits, I just think there's a lot of world building that can be done here because theres no way in hell the average clan cat fully 100% knows that things can even be microscopic

"It's neurotypicals who lack empathy ACTUALLY'

stop. Lacking empathy is a common neurodivergent trait. It's common for people with personality disorders. We're not neurotypical. Empathy is a value neutral trait and says nothing about a person's character. You're not owning the NTs when you say that--you're just making other neurodivergent people feel unsafe around you and painting us as Bad People.

[queerasflux]

having low empathy doesn't make you a bad person. you can be a compassionate human being with a strong sense of justice and very little empathy. You can have a strong moral core with a strong sense of your internal values, be able to consider all sides of a situation, and never be able to feel what that other person is feeling. You can understand why someone is hurt/angry/whatever and be able to do what you can to ease the situation and never resonate with their feelings. Low empathy does not equal evil.

[astraystayyh]

i dont think there is a word yet that can describe how absolutely vile israel is. they killed thirsty children by targeting a water tank.

how inhumane do you have to be to support this, to fund this, to excuse this, to ignore this and pretend as if it isn’t going on?

This is Hamas' response to the proposal the Israeli occupation government sent them

In other words, Hamas made a counter offer the other Resistance factions are happy with. The terms that must be met before a prisoner exchange are:

Permanent ceasefire

the complete withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza

Lifting the blockade and allowing aid to enter the strip

Reconstruction of Gaza

The Palestinian resistance has the upper hand. Remember the last time Hamas sent a proposal in November that included a pause in the fighting, Israel immediately dismissed it before crawling back and accepting. This time they are willing to consider it from the start. In fact Netanyahu has gone from saying the war will last a year to just months

I trust that all the conditions for the prisoner exchange will be met.

how could riverclan do this?
