Never Again Means Never Again to Anyone

Thousands of people have died, so many more are injured, hundreds of thousands are displaced.

Please at this time Donate to the Red Crescent and the Red Shield of David... They need all the support possible.

What a terrible world we live in where you can google wild plants or bugs because you're interested in them and the first results are all "how do I kill this"

Where is the whimsy? Where is the kindness? Where is the love for the world we live in and the creatures we share it with? How did we reach this point?

are u ever sick w longing. and i don't just mean romantic longing. i mean longing for a place you barely get to see, longing for friends you no longer have, longing for feelings you might have left behind in your childhood, longing for creativity, longing for a rich and more expansive life, longing for less inhibition. longing for more passion. longing for ur life to be so incandescent w something it thaws all the frost in ur bones. are u ever so consumed w it it rends ur heart in two. do u understand me

this is not just "look out the window and sigh" longing. i'm talking you're at the grocery store and you're suddenly hit w a wave of grief bc you don't have it. you don't have whatever it is you ache so badly to have. you go about your everyday life and yet it throbs under your skin moment by moment, almost as though it has a life of its own. that's the kind of longing i mean.

Kahn — surname of German origin meaning "small boat"; also the Germanized form of the Jewish surname Cohen < Hebrew kohen, "priest".

Khan — title and surname of Turko-Mongol origin, from Middle Mongol or Old Turkic qaɣan, possibly from Yeniseian.

Don't get them confused.

The small boat would be the Sukhbaatar III, the only vessel in Mongolia's navy, crewed by seven men, before the navy was privatized in 1997.

My favorite kind of "media literacy" post is when people call, like, speculating on why there are no humans in Cars or saying Kingdom Hearts or Homestuck is complicated "media illiterate"

No, friend, those are jokes. Remember those? From when people were able to have fun with popular media instead of treating it as a game where you call everyone who doesn't treat your preferred cartoon with deathly seriousness an illiterate moron? Remember that

I think the worst part is this was often in-jokes by people who liked a thing, but a segment of fandom has now decided fandom in-jokes are really some kind of out-group hater thing, that needs to be shut down lest anyone get the impression fandom isn't about being intensely defensive and joyless at every turn

They say you die three times, first when the body dies, second, when your body enters the grave, and third, when your name is spoken for the last time. You were a normal person in life, but hundreds of years later, you still haven’t had your “third” death. You decide to find out why.

You sold some shitty copper, man, I don’t know what to tell you

So I guess whoever runs this account decided sounding like a mafia boss was a good idea.

So what they're saying is I lose nothing by protesting, since I already have no job and probably won't be able to find one anyway.

If I may:

i have no patience for people talking about violent rhetoric on the left really because every day i read the news and every politician in this country and in most others is saying 'we gotta kill more people'. they use different words to say it. obviously you're not supposed to just say 'we gotta kill more people'. but there's all kinds of polite and okay ways to say it.

'we need to control our borders' is a phrase which here means 'we gotta kill more people, we gotta drown more refugees in boats, we gotta send more people back to warzones and governments that want them dead, we gotta make more camps and we gotta make the camps more fatal'.

'we need to be tougher on welfare fraud' is a phrase which here means 'we gotta kill more people, we gotta make disabled people do more song and dance routines to convince some indifferent bureaucrat that they deserve to eat and we gotta make sure that the bureaucrats say 'no', we gotta starve those kids more, we gotta make sure families and kids and old people are freezing in the winter'.

'we need to tackle violent crime' is a phrase which here means 'we gotta kill more people, specifically Black people, unless we said Terrorism instead of Crime, in which case it's specifically muslims, shoot them, imprison them, surveil them, disappear them, brutalize them, whatever.'

and of course none of this is Violent Speech. this is Sensible Political Discourse. these are Common-Sense Policy Goals. we gotta kill more people: that's an electable policy. you can always count on we gotta kill more people as a platform. we gotta kill more people is gonna sweep the nation baby. we gotta kill more people 2024 -- vote now on your phones. now slow down. hold your horses. did that guy just say we gotta kill more people? well that just wont do. thats why im running on a platform of we gotta kill more people for cheaper, to stop this wasteful madness. and the people just keep dying but seems like there's still some of them left so i guess we're just circling back around to our main thing which is: we gotta kill more people

at some point we need to admit the way we treat teen parents is wrong...

how the fuck are you going to tell people to keep the baby regardless of their age and then treat the teen parents (especially teen girls) as terrible individuals who deserve to be rejected by loved ones when in a situation where they'd need a lot of support for their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of the child. the amount of times I heard "oh shes cut off because she had a child at 17" as if it's a justified reason to cut someone off is absolutely insane.

at some point we need

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary

palestinians deserve the right to be able to travel freely in our homeland. to even visit our homeland. for us to have citizenship and rights to our own country. to grow our plants. practice our religions. live without fear that our children can be kidnapped by israeli forces on their violent whims. to not have our life savings poured into building a home for our families that are torn down without real warning by israeli bulldozers. to no longer be refugees. like this is real life. this is real.

we don’t want to be reduced to a never ending slogan. we want to put down our need for resistance. to rest & to live.

It’s called ‘being able to see the corpse’

So if I put you in an L-shaped swimming pool, and you knew there was a corpse around the corner, you'd be fine?

loving the implication that I'm a little animal and you're a scientist putting me into various bodies of water to test my corpse:water ratio tolerance
