🌍 Gaza is starving to death — and the world must not stay silent.

❗This is not just a headline. It’s our reality.

No food. No medicine. No safe place left.

We cry out in every language, hoping someone hears us:

غزة تموت جوعاً

Gaza is starving to death

Gaza meurt de faim

Gaza se muere de hambre

Gaza verhungert

Gaza sta morendo di fame

Газа умирает от голода

加沙正在饿死

ガザは飢えで死にかけている

가자는 굶어 죽어가고 있다

Gazze açlıktan ölüyor

गाज़ा भूख से मर रहा है

Gaza está morrendo de fome

Gaza sekarat karena kelaparan

غزہ بھوک سے مر رہا ہے

غزه از گرسنگی در حال مرگ است

Η Γάζα πεθαίνει από την πείνα

Gaza svälter ihjäl

In feudal Japan, samurai were not always free to carry their swords, especially in courts, castles, or during formal diplomacy. To adapt, they turned to the tessen, an iron war fan that appeared as an ordinary folding fan but concealed a powerful purpose. From the 14th century onward, during the Muromachi and Edo periods, the tessen became a popular choice for self-defense. It could be carried openly even where weapons were banned, giving its wielder a hidden advantage.

Tessen could be used in close combat, block or deflect knives and darts, and deliver strikes strong enough to disable an opponent. The samurai also trained in tessenjutsu, a specialized martial art for fan combat. Beyond combat, the tessen symbolized status and sophistication. High-ranking samurai, bodyguards, and court officials often carried finely crafted tessen, blending elegance with practicality.

Historical accounts tell of samurai who skillfully used tessen to disarm opponents or defend themselves when swords were forbidden. The tessen’s discreet nature and versatility earned it a unique place in Japan’s martial tradition. Though centuries have passed, it remains an iconic example of how ingenuity turned a simple object into a powerful tool.

stop censoring yourself!! it is something i keep seeing young kids on here doing and its so disheartening. censorship is inherently fascist. you need to say what you mean, you need to talk about uncomfortable topics, if we allow social media algorithms to impact how we speak in real life we are doomed. people are not unalived they are killed or murdered, people are not 🍇ed they are raped. if you can not speak about the realities of oppresion and violence truthfully you might aswell not be speaking at all.

Gay men on Mussolini’s 'gay island' San Domino

chantssecrets

Between 1936 and 1940, during Benito Mussolini’s fascist regime, about 300 homosexual men were deported to the Tremiti Islands (Isole Tremiti), located in the Adriatic Sea. These individuals, derogatorily labeled as “femminielli”, “arrusi”, and “pederasti”, were exiled as part of the regime’s broader efforts to maintain a perceived moral and racial purity in Italian society. This internment marked the creation of what some consider the first organized homosexual community in the world, although under oppressive and punitive circumstances.
