Congolese Man Self-Immolates to Highlight Overlooked Genocide in Congo

Congolese Man Self-Immolates to Highlight Overlooked Genocide in Congo

I’m really glad that Aaron’s self-immolation for Palestine is getting attention, but on November 8th there was also a Congolese man who did the same thing for the genocide happening in the DRC. From what I read in the article above, his fate and identity are unknown but I think his story should be getting equal amount of traction and I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it on Tumblr specifically yet.

was writing about lake sturgeon for a class assignment and showed one of my friends what i'd written.. he then sent part of it back to me with line breaks to turn it into a poem! i just had to draw something for it :]

poem text under the readmore:

lake sturgeon don't know that they're endangered. They don't know anything - other than the muck at the bottom of the water column and the occasional passing touch of another.

really touched by how my friend turned my technical writing into poetry. i haven't tried to write creatively in months, so it's nice to see i've still got it- and nicer still that i could get so inspired by my friend, since i haven't made nature art in a little while, either :>!!

I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.

There is nowhere left to go.

The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.

That is the only option

Pay or die.

Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.

1.5 million people have nowhere to go!

Reminder, if possible, please donate to the PCRF, ANERA, Islamic Relief, Palestine Red Crescent Society, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Defense for Children International - Palestine, Doctors Without Borders, and all other trusted organizations.

Whether one likes it or not, at the end of the blind alley that is Europe, . . . there is Hitler.

see, THIS? YOUR TAGS, @ithrowshoesatconservatives ??? THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING BOUT:

#any industry related to molten metal will make you have religious experiences#i've worked within six feet of an open vat of molten aluminum#the scary thing about aluminum is it doesn't even glow#it's this silvery liquid that looks so incredibly touchable#i've walked along paths where they bring melt trucks with massive crucibles that drip beads of aluminum everywhere#and the ground is studded with a million tiny stars of aluminum that never come off because they're melted onto the concrete#they have these forges for scrap that are twenty feet tall and glow orange all across the inside and they dump whole bales in at once#and when a fresh bale goes in the forge spews flames that lick at the (thankfully fireproof) ceiling#i once stood between the plates of a die press the size of a living room#and realized 'if this closed on me what came out would not be recognizable as a human being'#i've seen the face of god and it's molten metal

Israel bet that the long-term war would produce this terrible silence, consent to genocide, and getting used to the scene... and frankly, they succeeded in that.

I don't know what the end of all this is, the whole world has let them down and is watching their starvation and displacement

PLEASE DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT GAZA
