I know I dont post like... ever? But I dont know what else to do and I'd really appreciate any help that could be given at all gofund.me/373291067

It makes me sad that he’s been ringing the alarm of climate disaster for decades and everyone is just like ‘aw what a sweet old national treasure’ and ignoring him

I have a Luke warm take: indigenous people around the world were and have been able to ethically consume meat for centuries. It is possible to eat meat and not ruin the ecosystem

Understand what's being said here. Netanyahu is asserting the right to murder anyone, anywhere who they perceive to be a threat. This has been Israel's doctrine since its inception, usually expanded to include the "threat's" family, friends, colleagues, and their 100 or so closest neighbors. It's a recipe for global tyranny, and it must be stopped by any means necessary. If that makes me a "threat" to Israel, so be it. I'd consider it an honor.

You know what the CRAZIEST thing about the Hantavirus is? The Epstein Files are still largely unreleased, heavily redacted and no one has been arrested over them.

exactly and what does it sounds like when tenzin asked korra "did he take your bending away" after finding her passed out cold all alone on hard floor in the dead of night

The reframing of Rosemary Kennedy being lobotomised for being a 'normal' 23 year old woman is concerning to me. I doubt they include disabled people in their use of the word 'normal'. She was a headstrong, passionate disabled woman. 1/2

This perfectly encapsulates the issue I have with people defending generative AI. They fail to realize that “artist” includes everything listed here. Drawing is not the only art form

DREAMCATCHER and SIYEON are verified by Spotify as artists that don't use AI in their music

You ever noticed that it’s socially acceptable to tell poor people how to spend their money? But when we ask the rich to stop hoarding wealth, the response is always “it’s their money.”

I will never get over the fact that their father forced Rosemary Kennedy to have a lobotomy because she was being a normal 23-year-old girl who wanted to have fun, and her father said she was ruining the family’s image. He contacted a doctor who told him a lobotomy would “correct” her behavior, but it ended up making her mentally and physically handicapped. She could no longer walk or talk properly and had the mental capacity of a child. Her family was then embarrassed by her condition, so they sent her to live at an institution for the mentally impaired, where she lived until her death in 2005. Her family also didn’t visit her for 20 years, fearing they’d be photographed with her and it would cause a scandal in the press. Most people don’t even know about her existence because the family rarely talked about her. Her siblings didn’t even know where she was until their father's death in 1961. Despite JFK being the president at the time, he still prioritized keeping in contact with her and managing her medical care. It was said that he was extremely protective of her and would visit whenever he was able. Her mother eventually began visiting her after 20 years. Her father never went to see her after she was institutionalized. He was the reason for her disabilities, and he completely abandoned her. Once her siblings discovered where she was, they visited her regularly, and Eunice Kennedy eventually started the Special Olympics because of her. The surviving Kennedy siblings were at Rosemary's side when she passed. She could have lived a normal and happy life, but her father took that away from her because she didn’t meet his expectations. Nothing ever happened to the doctor who was responsible for the lobotomy.

Women: I want to go for a run. Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped. Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage. Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped. Women: I want to live alone. Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too. Women: What about going to the park? Society: Dangerous. Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then. Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times. Women: I was raped. Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.

Pains me sm that azula is CANONICALLY scared of ozai and aware that she was groomed and ppl still treat as if she wasn’t abused

If they cut Social Security, I want every single penny they have taken from my paychecks since the very first day I ever started working.

everything else aside, this is quite possibly the most misguided way to judge whether something was written by an AI or not, because it's not like authors start writing their fic the day they publish the first chapter

One of the really unpredictable things that ended up happening in TLOK from its odd management was that it actually allowed for a subtle and sweet in between the lines romance to blossom in a very quiet way (i know of the censorship but this was still honestly a cool way to do it

I love their panels so much I had to make this!! #rwby

The Kyoshi warriors are non-benders because they were specifically founded to empower the “non-bending women” of Kyoshi Island who were being mistreated. Prior to the founding of her island, Kyoshi lived in a peninsula village where women were often harassed by men and bandits
