When you hear about the forest fires in Spain going on, always keep this in mind: forest firefighters have all been privatized and are under the competency of the respective regional governments; temporary and seasonal contracts are common, meaning most forest firefighters do not work in the colder half of the year, and a significant portion do not ever work more than one season. one firefighter put it like this to me: "someone who is fixing sinks the 30th of May, is putting out fires the next week in June". This means there's constant retraining needed, increasing health and safety risks (for instance, Madrid firefighters still lack proper protection against common carcinogenic substances they encounter) and hindering the accumulation of expertise. In the case of the region of Madrid, their salaries have been the same since 2008, and last summer they went on strike (temporarily paused to deal with forest fires in August) over this. This July they went again on strike, however they paused it to tend to the massive fires in the region.

The regional governments have systematically abandoned any pursuit for the quality of firefighting, and then act outraged, surprised and saddened when forest fires go out of control and displace tens of thousands.

The 'ingredients you can pronounce means it's healthy' line implies a world in which the kind of nutrition a person requires scales with their biology education and grasp of phonics. Which isn't true, of course, but sure would imply some interesting worldbuilding if it were

"Potassium cyanide. Arsenic trioxide. Polonium 210. Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin," I say, smugly and with full confidence, before downing the glass of wine my political rival insisted on pouring for me. Seconds later, she watches with a smirk as I collapse writhing to the ground, in the knowledge that I never could hit that "R" in "pinot noir" quite right

why is it that ppl hear "fetish" and immediately think "devoid of morals" like ur genuinely not making sense. ppl dont actually become inhuman and beast-like when theyre turned on, thats something we are told bc it aligns with christian patriarcal values, u know that right? desire isnt actually bad. it doesnt make you evil, or incapable of having/respecting boundaries

[lilcowzia]

i got a response to this abt how men get horny and "lose their minds" and "causes" them to behave vile. i rlly rlly neeeeed ppl to understand that men behaving inappropriately when turned on is something they are *choosing* to do, and when you equate that to human nature you are enabling them and diminishing the seriousness of that choice

school uniform codes extending to what colours you’re allowed to dye your hair, and what piercings you can have and stuff is so crazy. you HAVE to go to school and you’re not even allowed to have pink hair or pierce your nose about it????

“oh it’s to prepare you for the workplace” okay. i don’t think any workplace should be dictating what you can and can’t do with your body either and i think it’s strange to decide to teach children that their body is not their own

When people argue that food from Chinese and Mexican restaurants in the US are not 'real' representations of that culture's cuisine ignore the historical reality that these dishes were developed by diasporic communities striving to recreate the flavors of home with available resources. Such criticism frames adaptation as a loss of authenticity, rather than recognizing it as a sincere and evolving expression of culture by people separated from their homeland.

Then perhaps consider reaching out to the Anti-War Action Network! Much to the chagrin of the Zionist press, it's a very approachable group 😉

For weeks now and especially the last couple days, israeli settlers have been attacking palestinian villages, assaulting palestinians and burning cars, and today a palestinian man defended himself from an armed settler by taking his gun and killing him and in response the israeli army has killed 4 palestinians

It makes me so angry because palestinians are expected to be assaulted and killed in these attacks and settlers will never pay for it, but the moment we defend ourselves suddenly its news worthy

Israeli military kills 4 Palestinians after settler killed in West Bank

The Israeli military has shot and killed four Palestinians in the village of Tell in the northern West Bank, according to the Palestinian He

In a video of the incident, confirmed by the Israeli military and circulated online by the military correspondent for Israel’s Army Radio, two armed men in civilian clothing, as well as at least one Israeli soldier, are shown pointing their weapons at a group of Palestinians who had gathered in a field. At one point, the two armed men rush toward several Palestinian residents with their guns drawn. In the footage, the residents try to push them back and appear to disarm one of the men before opening fire.

In a statement, the Israeli military said it killed the man who took the settler’s weapon and that he was armed when soldiers shot him. But a separate video, published by Israeli media outlets and confirmed by the military, showed Israeli forces firing on a group of Palestinians in the same field who were already on the ground.

More than a dozen gunshots can be heard in the footage, which is less than a minute long. The military said the suspect was one of the people killed in the field. It did not respond to questions about why soldiers killed the other men — all of whom were related — or how long after the original altercation the killings took place.
