mum said it's my turn to do the good omens + text posts meme

You go to your friend’s house and Jeff Bezos is there. You’re like “are you insane? That’s Jeff Bezos, he’s evil, we need to throw him out” and your friend tries to convince you that no poor Jeff Bezos has amnesia and is in a lot of trouble so you have to help him. This is insane to you but you’re in love with your friend so you’re like okay…and then Jeff Bezos regains his memories and runs off to live out his queer love story. You’re like “well that was INSANE wasn’t it? Let’s go do boozy brunch to get over it and also I might be in love with you”…..but your friend/love of your life is like “this is awkward but I’m actually the new CEO of Amazon”…….that would be terrible wouldn’t it? Well something really similar happened to my good friend crowley

I'm a firm believer that Aziracrow will make up, HOWEVER I think Aziraphale will NEVER hear the end of it.

*500 years later: Aziraphale doing something accidentally* "Oops, sorry"

*Crowley, mockingly* "I fOrGiVe yOu"

*Sigh* "Crowley, I said I was sorry! Will you let it go, please?"

*Crowley, dramatically falling back on his chair, still doing the mocking voice* "cOmE wItH mE tO hEaVeN"

"The point is," said Crowley, "the point is. The point is." He tried to focus on Aziraphale. "The point is," he said, and tried to think of a point.

So where are organizations like Greenpeace rn? The biggest ecological catastrophe in Europe since Chornobyl happened yesterday. Where are all those eco-activists? Why are they completely silent?

So far I have only seen this one (1) tweet retweeted by Greta Thunberg:

Nothing else from any prominent activists or organizations.

This only shows one side of them: hypocrisy. They don't really care about the environment, about nature, about plants or animals or entire ecosystems that have been destroyed or are being destroyed in front of our very eyes in one of the largest single acts of ecocide. They only pretend to care to make themselves look good and when it's comfortable to them.

Here's a thread about all the world's biggest environment protection organizations' reactions:

(Spoiler: there is zero reaction. Except for the German branch Greenpeace, who did make a post about it)

This is pure terrorism. And as much as it’s devastating, people still don’t understand the whole scale of it. Animals in the zoos have died, whole cities are flooded and the residents are left with no home. In the Russia-occupied regions, people have no hope for any kind of help. Somehow Russia just outdoes itself on the worst fucking ways to desperately apply scorched earth policy once they find themself in an unfavorable position

Today is a 37st anniversary of the Chornobyl Nuclear Plant disaster. It's hard to talk about one unprocessed national tragedy while living through another.

The Chornobyl disaster was totally preventable and it took away countless lives of people living in the region, especially in Ukraine and Belarus - both the liquidators and the civillians. Despite the very air and dust being literal poison, the soviets had not only hid this information from the people, but forced everybody to partake in the May the 1st parade - because god forbid we lose our face before the international community as a working class paradise! If not for the nuclear scientists in Sweden who raised the alarm about the dangerous levels of nuclear particles coming from northern Ukraine, who knows what would have happened. It definitely would have been swepped under the rug and forgotten by the international community, together with its victims - just like Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan is barely known abroad.

With russia constantly threatening to turn Zaporhizhzha nuclear plant into second Chornobyl, the wound caused by this tragedy is cut open again.

We all love the HBO Chornobyl series, and I genuinely am grateful to Craig Mazin for the amount of empathy and respect he brought to the series; but for today I indulge you to watch something made by ukrainians, to try to understand what this tragedy means to us and how it influences our lives even today.

For the documentaries, my favourite series by this day remains the "Dragons live here" by Your Underground Humanitarian School Youtube channel, which, unfortunately, can only offer automated english subtitles - they should, however, be sufficient.
