June 21, 2026 - Hundreds of protesters broke through fences and stormed Kakomë beach, in the south of Albania, protesting against the privatisation of public coastal areas and a controversial luxury resort project linked to Jared Kushner and the Trump family.

According to Albanian media reports, hundreds of residents from Nivice, Shen Vasil and other nearby settlements protested today on Kakome beach and dismantled parts of fences, guard huts and barbed wire, and entering the restricted coastal area, expressing public opposition to plans that involve closing off part of the protected coastline for a private tourist complex.

The protesters said that beaches belong to the people, not oligarchs, chanting slogans such as “Albania is not for sale” and “Flamingo Revolution”.

This is part of a wider wave of protests in Albania against the privatisation of public assets and the influence of foreign investors on protected areas. The demonstrations have intensified due to plans to build a large resort in the south of the country, which critics describe as an example of corruption and the handing over of national resources to foreign interests at the expense of local communities and the environment.

OP: This is the first time I've seen the Yellow River's sediment discharge with my own eyes.

[jingyuanyuan]

There's a Chinese meme that the Yellow River doesn't need rituals to present sacrifices because if it's hungry it'll come onto the shore and eat the sacrifices itself.

[asmuchasidliketo]

#some netizens also say chinese people like unification because only a powerful unified dynasty can survive the yellow river and sometimes #also the chang jiang when they decide to flood and change directions and kill and displace millions #also only large dynasties have the resources to do hydroengineering to try and control the yellow river #yellow river be like: if you don't hydroengineer you die #but if you do you might also die heehee #“we call these our mother rivers not because they are gentle but because we are too scared” tags on above post

People talk about how the Great Lakes are deadly because they are uncaring, but the Yellow River is literally out to get everyone.

[brinconvenient]

The Great Lakes are uncaring, don't care whether you live or die, ambivalent, pay no attention to you.

The Yellow River cares. Deeply. About you, specifically. And your death. And being the cause of it. It notices you and your intentions. You've been warned. Exercise your hubris accordingly.

adhd is like I think it’s gonna take me fifteen minutes to fill up my water bottle

[homunculus-argument]

I think going too deep into anything should warrant a balrog. You scroll too far down on your phone when you should've gotten up an hour ago, you've spent all afternoon sleuthing to figure out why your mom's former neighbour whom you haven't seen since you were 15 and don't give a fuck about got a divorce, you've been ruminating the same situation over and over and over, and a big fuckass beast thing shows up to stop you because you have delved too deep and now you have to fight the balrog.

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

[queeranarchism]

During the time that I did NGO work, one of the most jarring things was going to conferences and watching the rooms get whiter and whiter the more the conference focused on managers, CEO's, politicians and others in leadership positions. Color disappears further up the hierarchy and while we all kinda know that it's weird to see it happen in front of your eyes.

And always there would be:

1 noticable uncomfortable POC who is either there as an intern/assistant to a white person or as the 'diversity manager'.

10 white ladies loudly complaining that there's only 30% women here while leaving the 99.9% whiteness completely unmentioned.

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

You can't advocate for restorative justice to tumblr users or they'll call you something like morally catholic or something. Like what are we doing here.

[lakemojave]

IDK I feel like delineating categories of people that boil down to "irredeemable abusers" who all deserve to be shunned and ostracized on the basis of dubious claims with no chance to be welcomed back into their support network--especially when those in question happen to be the most vulnerable members of already marginalized communities--feels pretty poisoned by christian moral frameworks to me. At least more than the people going "hey let's not do that."
