i know this is tumblr and all and liam payne might not have been The Best Person but do you think maybe this isn't the best occasion for the fuckass destiel meme? you know damn well this is gonna hurt for a lot of one direction fans regardless of their opinion on him as a person, like this is nowhere near the same as an old evil politician dying. come on
you know the post that's like: one day I'll be 45 at a party and ill hear a one direction song and ill be dancing my heart out because I never learned to love anything as much as I love one direction?......... yeah.......thinking of that right now
Louis, Harry, Niall and Zayn have posted this statement for Liam, via One Direction’s Instagram. 🤍 (17 October 2024)

Louis' tribute to Liam via instagram - 17.10
soft reminders:
you have value even when you can’t get out bed.
you will always have inherent worth, unaffected by your level of functioning or productivity.
you are deserving of love, kindness and time.
you are worth the ‘burden’ of getting help and recovering.
I’m completely heartbroken.
I came back after a hiatus because Liam has died and I feel so alone but the tags are just an absolute shitshow.
I knew this would happen one day, but I never thought this would happen so soon.
He was literally only 16 when they started the band. Fourteen when he first tried out for X Factor. He dreamt of being a singer so much and became one. He must have felt SO alone and I hate that he felt that way. I hate this so much.
I'm gonna be honest here: one of the more exhausting parts of the online discourse is how much of a tightrope I am always on, that those of us who care about human rights for all human beings are always on, because any statement made in favor of the "other" side is ripe for tokenism.
I, as a Jew, care about the safety and human rights of Palestinians and Arab Israelis. You will never convince me that there is an ethical way to kill civilians, especially children. You will never convince me that police brutality against citizens marching for their civil rights is necessary. You just can't. And yet I have to be so careful when/where I say that and how I say that, because too often this simple acknowledgement that all people are created in the image of Hashem and should be treated accordingly is ripped out of context and placed between a deluge of other posts denying my people that very same acknowledgement. The number of times I have said these things, only to go into the reblogs and see my words surrounded on all sides with violent antisemitism? I've lost count.
And guess what? It's made me less effective as an advocate, it has actively silenced me from speaking up sometimes, because I refuse to be your "good Jew," your token, somebody whose words can be misconstrued to kasher your vile hatred of my people. And to be very clear: Jewish Israelis are my people just as much as fellow diaspora yidden are, and they deserve better from both goyim and diaspora Jews alike.
And I've seen this go the other way, too: I've seen Palestinian activists and journalists who are trying very hard to balance the values of respecting other people (including Israelis and/or Jews writ large) as fellow human beings with the pain that their people are currently suffering. And I've seen their words ripped out of context and used to excuse more violence against them and their people.
And then there are lots of other people - genuinely well-intentioned people who are trying to learn from me - who keep treating me like I'm some paragon of nuance. I'm trying, truly, but I'm Just Some Guy. You know what I do? It's extremely simple and I promise you can do it too, any of you, if you slow down long enough to think before putting anything out there: "Would I say this about my brother? My mom? My daughter? My people? Would I be happy if the person I loved most on this earth was living under these circumstances and being talked about in whatever way I'm about to speak? Would it feel victim-blaming? Would it feel disrespectful of their struggle or dishonest? Does it ignore their history or trauma? Is it actually helping?" These are the types of questions I try very hard to ask myself every time I post about the conflict, about both sides. I try to talk about this as if the people on both sides were my family. Because truthfully? They are. Am Yisrael is a family, before anything else. Palestinians are our closest cousins. This war is a bloodbath and a tragedy, and everyone is suffering. For those of us who are not living there, please remember this and have some respect.
Spoiler alert: I posted this less than an hour ago and already had some people reblog this post who also have egregious (and antisemitic) disinformation about the conflict in recent reblogs.
I think this is what drowning feels like

I just saw some more of the videos from NYC and London today with the newly enthusiastic Houthi stans and I'll be honest, I really cannot wrap my mind around what we're witnessing in real time. put aside their rabid antisemitism, what was done to the Jews of Yemen, their "curse on the Jews" slogan and flag. put aside "death to America." clearly these people aren't concerned about that and if anything are happy to support it, it excites them. but the AUDACITY of them pretending to care about human lives is what gets me. (Jewish people don't count here, obviously.) the Houthis are quite literally violent rapists and slavers. not from the 18th century. NOW. TODAY. their people are starving. they subjugate and terrorize them. they have killed them. and no one ran to the streets to protest that. no one went out to advocate for innocent Yemenis. AND THEY'RE STILL NOT!
and three months ago, those of us who watched what happened so quickly, what sparked like a fire, with the leftists openly supporting Hamas after they slaughtered, tortured, raped, pillaged, and kidnapped innocent people warned about this. we said, no, please don't support murderers. please don't support an oppressive regime who wants nothing but death. if you don't care about, or even if you hate, Israelis, at the very least you cannot support Hamas and a free Palestine, because the concepts are antithetical. no one listened. they screamed "by any means necessary" and called them "freedom fighters" and quickly became justifiers of infanticide and rape apologists.
and then they decided to lose their minds and celebrate Osama Bin Laden, and we said, please don't do that, and they didn't listen, despite the fact that his vicious homophobia and misogyny and racism should defy every principle they claim to stand for.
and then they tweeted about how Hitler had a point and wasn't totally wrong and he was a humanitarian actually - things we only used to see from virulent neo-Nazis coming from the "progressive" left.
what's next? I'd assume open ISIS stanning, but hey, people have already been taking ISIS flags to rallies, like they've been doing with swastikas for months. Putin support? we've seen that too. (especially if it can be linked to demonizing Zelensky, because you know, he's a Jew). an embrace of Assad despite the scores of his own people - and Palestinians!!! - that he's brutally murdered?
make this make sense. who is going to be freed by literal extremists? how are leftists supporting groups that are opposed to EVERYTHING they've ever fought for - equal rights, due process, anti-racism, religious freedom, LGBTQ+ rights, feminism, animal welfare, education, children's welfare, anti-war, anti-slavery, anti-rape culture, the list goes on - every. single. stance. that progressives claim to have. is what these terrorist arms of the IRGC stand against and want to tear apart. what is happening here. they cannot simply hate the Jews this much.

I'm so confused at the people who will either ignore or disdain Israeli leftists because they're Israeli. it's absolutely insane
"We want Netanyahu gone!" Who's gonna vote him out? You? You live in Ohio
"Prosecute Netanyahu for his war crimes!" Who do you think will be doing the prosecuting?
"End the occupation!" How? What are you going to do?
There are people in Israel who are communists, socialists, anarchists, anti-imperialists, anti-colonial activists. They want the exact same things you do, and dismissing them because they live in "the bad country" is just fucking insane. It's frankly childish
I’ve said this before and I’ll say this again: this is a form of infantilization of other countries that have different cultures and speak languages you do not understand.
I love you people who show kindness because "it's what you're supposed to do". I love you people who show kindess because they like being thanked. I love you people who show kindness because it makes them feel good. I love you people who show kindness because they were shown kindness first. I love you people who show kindness for "selfish" reasons. I love you people who show kindness for the "wrong" reasons. I love you people who show kindness in a body that rejects the very notion. Your kindness is not any lesser because of its motivations. The good you added to the world is just as valuable as someone doing it for the "right" reasons. Your effort is seen. Your effort is valued.
