its been p common knowledge for decades that light pollution can be massively reduced by just putting shades on streetlamps, and that doing that would save energy, help wildlife, and let us see the stars better, but are society says if u wanna change any minor little tiny thing u gotta dedicate ur whole life to campaigning for it and this is a good ways down the list of priorities for most ppl, so instead i gotta walk past newly-installed streetlamps that are just dumb glass globes that use half their electricity to blast half their light directly into the sky where it does only bad things for no reason and think "we should overthrow the government"
seeing other people play Outer Wilds for the first time and thinking "god i wish that were me"
I thought it would be an hour of listening to screaming and looking at pictures of draculas, but it was so much for frightening than fathomed
Hello, I am Mounir Raed I am 19 years old from gaza palestine π΅πΈπ .
Before After
, which was everything to me. I have so many memories of it, with my brothers who are everything to me as well. I lost my best friends, I lost my university, and I lost my job because of the war on Gaza and I also lost my shop π₯π€·ββοΈ
Everything was gone, the dream was lost, and nothing but became ashes. This war began and the smell of blood spread everywhereππ
Allow me to describe to you life here in Gaza. It is like a very small cage in which chicks (baby chickens) are placed. They have nothing to do with it. A bowl of water is placed for them, and you find them quarreling over this simple portion of water as well as food, and the aid planes that resemble a person being shot down Food crumbs on the cage and you find them fighting too
and this is our situation, but there is only one way to survive, which is to get out.
It will cost you money that you cannot afford, so I created this link for your contribution in saving what can be saved for someone like me who has an ambition and a dream that he wants to achieve and wants to complete his education. In order to be more successful.
I ask you to help and contribute to supporting me in order to leave the stricken Gaza Strip, and continue my life away from the ongoing wars there. I am striving hard to rebuild my life after the war.
Before After

Etho, trying to find additional people he can call on to flip his enderporter if he gets exiled: I should probably pay Joel. Tango: Joel? Joel's gonna charge you SO MUCH- No, don't- Don't get Joel to be your button-pusher. Bdubs: He actually doesn't care about you very much. We love you so much, we'd do it for free. Tango: Yeah! Joel would be like, 'That's gonna cost you'- Etho: - He secretly cares. He just doesn't want to show it on camera, you know. Tango: Well, yeah... It HAS been a while since he's built an idol to you, so...

Hind's response to getting nominated for the Nobel Prize.
[Partial ID: "I know that I was nominated for the Nobel Prize for months and I never shared anything related ..
What Nobel Prize when my people are being slaughtered?
What would this even mean if I have been posting for more than 300 days on all of the atrocities Israel is committing and nothing is slightly changing.
I don't feel anything towards prizes ..
I am here stuck under a 24/7 f****** drone ..I am 700 meters away from the red danger zone not knowing where to go ..
I am just here watching the world watching us ..
NOTHING is going to change how I feel towards the world .. like literally NOTHING."

twitter link to the video (in it, you can hear these fascists loudly screaming "are they white?" and "they're white, they're white! they're english!" before letting the cars pass).
remember how the american and british press stirred up an absolute panic about the non-violent, pro-palestine campus protests? how they endlessly slandered the students as antisemitic extremists, creating justification for the violent police crackdown that would soon follow?
compare that now to how they're covering (or not covering) the fascist pogroms in the UK, where, for the past few days, violent white supremacists mobs have been terrorizing muslims, migrants and other non-white communities, forming mobs to intimidate and violently attack anyone they perceive as non-white and non-British.
the hotel shown in the video above is now the second hotel housing asylum seekers that these fascist mobs have attempted to set fire to, and yet, the harshest words the majority of the UK press is willing to use to describe them, are "far-right rioters, "anti-immigration protesters" or, if you're the BBC, just "protesters."
here's from skynews (UK), with the almost comical framing of "anti-fascists (left)" vs. "people protesting"
again, if you compare that to the headlines they were running during the campus protests...
this goes beyond some racist "bias" in their reporting: you can draw a direct link here between the UK media's coverage of palestine, and the fascist mobs willing to burn asylum seekers alive.
obviously there are other factors at play, but the genocide denial, the portrayal of arabs and muslims as terrorists and antisemites (which again, gets projected onto britain's migrant population and asylum seekers as a whole), the overall dehumanization and othering of the palestinian people β all of this has been feeding into, and stoking up, the racism and islamophobia that's now boiling over, and erupting into nakedly fascist violence.
I fucking despise when things fake being higher quality than they are. I don't mean like slapping a slightly misspelled brand name onto an identical non-designer product for purely aesthetic reasons I mean like rivets or thread that are actually glued down rather than punched or stitched. Fake pockets on jeans that are actually just an extra seam. Heavy looking chain that's plastic or very soft flimsy metal rather than anything sturdy. I bought boots which looked like they had a stitched sole 8 months ago and lo and behold the glue holding the sole on is revealing itself by falling apart. You PUT a STITCH IN THERE. YOU HAD THE NEEDLE AND THREAD. AND YOU DIDNT ACTUALLY STITCH DOWN THE FUCKING SOLES. Oh it makes me so mad. Cheap cunts taking the aesthetics of durability or practicality while handing you a product that won't last you the year
