The forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza is meant to kill them

We cannot let governments and the media whitewash what's happening as 'evacuations into safe zones'

9 countries out of the 27 EU members recognise Palestine. A few days ago, several officials from Spain and Ireland confirmed that there's a plan in place for their countries (along with others) to recognise Palestine in the month of May.

This is how Israel responds to the report

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide has issued a genocide alert for the West Bank last month as Israel ramps up mass expulsions of Palestinians to make way for new settlements. These threats are genocidal.

dude seeing these Mega high quality images of the surface of mars that we now have has me fucked up. Like. Mars is a place. mars is a real actual place where one could hypothetically stand. It is a physical place in the universe. ITS JUST OUT THERE LOOKING LIKE UH IDK A REGULAR OLD DESERT WITH LOTS OF ROCKS BUT ITS A WHOLE OTHER PLANET? 

[i-homeostasis]

LIKE THIS JUST LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A PERSON’S BACKYARD. LIKE YEA A LITTLE DUSTY MAYBE THERE WAS A SANDSTORM BUT THAT’S COOL I’M JUST GONNA WALK DOWN TO THE STORE P S Y C H YOU’RE ON MARS BICH!

See also below Saturn’s moon, Titan. Mars has a blue horizon at sunset so it looks even more Earth-like in this image:

Also: Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko

[ultraviolet-divergence]

So it’s not quite snowing on Churyumov–Gerasimenko, unfortunately; the white specks are artifacts of cosmic rays impinging on the CCDs in the camera, as well as a rotating starfield in the background (since the comet is spinning). A few specks could be dust. But, holy shit, that’s the surface of a comet. That’s a spot you could in theory cling to for dear life sit down on. The Cliffs of Comet 76p are a place. 

If that isn’t the neatest shit I don’t know what is.

so i just learned that people fucking dove inside a god damn iceberg and good to know that even for cave divers, who in my opinion are already a special kind of unhinged, and i say that with all affection, there are people even more unhinged than that

[cappurrccino]

I was going to post some Choice Horrifying Quotes from the article, but turns out the whole thing is a horror story and i’m just.

the fact that they got trapped and pulled in and thought they might die three times and were still like “hey what if we do one more” and only didn’t die because they decided to have a meal first??

[rukafais]

#//juri speaks#look. i love caves. but there is no fucking way#also not to relate everything to my current hyperfixation but. this could EASILY be a tma episode 

yeah you wouldn’t need to change anything for this to be a TMA episode i absolutely agree, the damn thing already tried to kill them three times

[discordarchitect]

okay guys u gotta read it. I was making highlights but it turned into a summary. still. read it. so worth it.

Ok so two people sink down to look around. Jill and her partner. First glimpse of horror (lots and lots of sea creatures) happens. But everything is pretty and they continue on

That’s the sound of their way in collapsing btw.

They find a way out. And then proceed to dive in again

they get out again.

The photos are sublime. So next day, Wes decided, hey, i want to go with you. Remember the camera i tested? We’re going to take even better pictures with it.

so they dive

and the current picks up again

Dude.

They got sucked in, obv. Water pouring down, the three try to get out. Fail. There’s no way up.

And then Jill decides to show human determination and ingenuity. Holy shit.

They get out. They see the boat with the science team, reaching for them. They’re late for two hours, but alive.

i did not manage to find the iceberg photos, but her other stuff is breathtaking
