Targeting children in conflict zones represents a grave war crime, blatantly violating fundamental tenets of international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

12,345 children killed in Gaza.

Six years old! Not only murdered, but experienced unspeakable terror before being murdered! Do you remember being that age when everything was scary? When you ran to your bed after turning the lights off because the dark was too frightening? To have to see so much death, hear so much fire and screaming. A tank! A tank going after a six year old! Hours alone in the dark with dead bodies of people who were her comfort and safety! In what reality is this allowed??

If you didn’t grow up in a church where the First Lady looks like this:

[uniquewombatobservation]

I’m not even religious but I cannot stand these non singers, we need to start recruiting from the churches again

[nirdybirds]

A YouTube account I follow just posted a video essay about this (but only about female singers). I'm not sure about all of his reasons because some of them seem like only opinions, but I do think he made some very valid points.

The worse this situation in Ukraine is getting the more i hate the jokes americans make about it. All of those "vladdy look at me this isn't u 🥺" "not me living through ww3" and "i don't wanna get drafted" jokes are just in bad taste to me. If it were my country, i would not want people to joke about it this way.

And i see so many of them go "well we use humor to cope" literally from what? What do you need to cope from? The traumatic event of watching the news and seeing footage of something that's happening hundreds of miles away from you? That's no different from any other war that's been happening over the last two decades though. Wars that America has very much been involved in. So why is this different to you? Because "white" countries are involved now?

Before you joke think about what you're saying. American teens and young adults are probably as far removed from this conflict as can be, which is why you find it so easy to joke about this. I have also seen brits and other west europeans make jokes so ofc americans aren't the only ones, but you are the majority. I have yet to see east europeans make jokes though. Why? Because they realize how serious this situation is and jokes don't help.

Meanwhile Ukrainians have to sit and watch their land be invaded. They are losing their homes. I stand with Ukraine 💙💛

[rembrandtae]

three important things to remember right now:

1. do not share ANY information about the place, the state, and the members of Ukrainian army. don't like it, don't reblog it, don't even write about it.

2. if you want to get information, do not look for carrds or twt threads. turn on your tv, read a newspaper, look for journalists and officials. do not trust random internet users and do not spread the disinformation and propaganda that is already circulating around here. double check every account you see talking about what's happening before deciding to share it further.

3. listen to Ukrainians.

Pray for Tonga 😭

Thinking of all my Pacific friends and whānau right now, sending so much love 😭💔💔💔 please message me if you find a link we can donate to (not the Red Cross or any missionary agencies) and I'll add some as soon as they are available

[the-quiet-fire-of-defiance]

Guys Tonga is underwater. The tsunami swept through everywhere, the highest point on the main island of Tongatapu is just 28 meters above sea level. All power and communications have been cut off so we don't even know what's going on anymore, but at last report the sky is black and raining ash and acid rain. The water is undrinkable because of the acid. People can't breathe because of the ash. The entire island of 'Atata has gone underwater 😭

The explosion shook homes in Alaska, over 9500 km away. The tsunami has gone through the entire Pacific but nowhere has been affected as badly as Tonga. And no one outside the Pacific seems to be talking about it 😥

Question for all my followers. How many of y’all are still wearing masks everywhere? And are you doing this because you’re mandated to or out of an abundance of caution?

[black-geek-supremacy]

Sort of. I still wear masks to stores but I’ve laxed at my job since there’s still only a few of us there and we’ve all been vaccinated and I always work late so im always the last to leave outside of security and the cleaning crew.

[nirdybirds]

I do it out of caution but I also live in Michigan so while it's not mandated I also don't have a choice, if that makes sense

an explanation is not owed

[the-redonkulon]

I’m kinda surprised at how many ‘likes-but-did-not-blogs’ there are on this post….there are absolutely no downsides to not sharing it, regardless of whether or not it fits your aesthetic or even if your page isn’t sexual in nature.

Unfortunately, many guys still need to see this….. (but ovviously it applies to everyone).

Consent is paramount, and the ability to remove consent at any time (yes even after sex has started, if it hurts or you get cold feet or whatev)

[charcharpinks]

So uhhh... now would be a good time to change your twitch password.
