i mean to be clear i think we can all agree it is bad when civilians die. however the israeli state's policies as a settler-colonial genocidal project means that for decades it has been constructing a situation where it is impossible for palestinians to fight back against daily brutal violence without israeli civilians being caught in the crossfire so i think if you are upset about those deaths you should take it up with the government that built cities and invited settlers onto recently stolen land and then committed indiscriminate massacres against the people it was stolen from for decades. but of course most of the people handwringing about israeli civilians are not actually concerned with human life--or if they are, not with a worldview that recognizes palestinians as human

[txttletale]

when people say "what about all the palestinian civlians that have been murdered on an ongoing basis as part of the eliminiationist status quo" they're not arguing "oh palestinian civilians died so israeli civilians should die too". they're pointing out that this status quo is one that can only be changed by actual armed resistance, and because of the aformentioned decades of israeli policy of 'moving civilians into a war zone to settle on stolen land' that's going to inevitably result in some level of harm coming to those civilians. and sure in a vacuum we can all agree that's bad, but condemning the fight for palestinian liberation on those grounds implictly makes the argument that the constant deaths of palestinians was tolerable in comparison, that the status quo should have been maintained--that that violence, of constant bombings of the starved and blockaged gaza strip, was preferable to this violence, where those people actually fight back. this is not a case of violence vs. peace--it is a case of one violence vs. another, and framing it as the former is the same as a fullthroated endorsement of the first, normalized violence, sanctioned by the israeli state and its imperialist overlords in washington

if you oppose the killing of civilians in the israel/palestine conflict (as you ofc should), you should train yr anger on the side to have routinised the bombing of civilian infrastructure

if you oppose the seizing of hostages (as you ofc should), you should focus on the side now punishing the entirety of gaza by cutting off its electricity

if you oppose violent escalation (as you ofc should), you should look to the side to have triggered this most recent bout of killing by cracking down with police brutality on hundreds of muslim worshipers for the heinous offence of staying overnight in the al-aqsa mosque during ramadan, injuring fifty in the process

the idea that any such considerations would be to israels credit here is offensive; the idea that pointing out which party clearly and eagerly bears the lion's share of blame, both now and historically, somehow means glorifying every ill-considered action undertaken by the islamist paramilitary force israel itself worked to cultivate back at its inception is beyond stupid

hold up what do you mean humans can't tell if something's wet . what

[soracities]

im sorry WHAT

[sexy-necromancing-bird]

Think about it, what's the first thing you focus on when you touch something wet? Usually it's temperature.

And if something is dripping down your skin you might feel ticklish

But like you've probably touched something cold and thought it was wet for a second before realizing it was dry and your brain just assumed

So you guys can feel wetness based on experience but it's just that your skin isn't specialized to feel that I think

Human skin wetness perception: psychophysical and neurophysiological bases

The ability to perceive thermal changes in the surrounding environment is critical for survival. However, sensing temperature is not the onl

yeah we don’t have sensors for wetness (other creatures do) but we just learn what wetness feels like to make up for it.

Checks out.

Had an injury on my hand a while back that damaged some nerves in my finger. Took me months to stop thinking my finger had gotten wet whenever I picked up a cold piece of metal cutlery.

My mom sometimes asks me to touch the bedsheets or towels she’s hung to dry because she’s not sure if they’re still wet or just cold.

also although this works as a convenient analogy for racism, it is also just a factual description of how the vast majority of buildings and public infrastructure in use today do not accommodate the disabled. like please don't overlook that part. this is literally just how it actually is for disabled people.

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

This is called "Foundation Theory" and its the idea that the past is inextricably a part of who you are and you cannot just ignore it or pretend it goes away

it doesn't mean that we're all forever defined by the past, just that we're limited by it

It's why tetrapods are fish, birds are dinosaurs, humans are apes, america sits on a foundation of white supremacy, and christianity is built on a foundation of antisemitism. The list goes on.

We need to understand the past to understand the present.

Stunning sunset! This happens because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering: cirrus clouds scatter the longer, red wavelengths of light and give the sky an orange or reddish hue | source
