gaza is facing the threat of famine again. pls go through your budget and find something you can sustainably redirect to palestinian families. make donations part of your regular spending. i am terrified for my friends and i need them to have money when they find food.
Within the next 48 hours, if flour is not allowed into Gaza, all bakeries in the city will stop producing bread.
We are facing an enormous catastrophe. Famine is knocking on our doors once again, and this time, it could be worse than anything we have experienced before.
Please, do not remain silent! Talk about Gaza, make our voices heard around the world, and do everything you can before thousands of people lose access to something as basic as a loaf of bread.

Japan kind of did the 50s in the 80s, complete with the moral panic over juvenile delinquents at the tail end of the decade
Lotta friends who are afraid to buy a gun bc they might kill themselves with it. My friend, just get a bigger gun. If its too long to pull the trigger with your toes you'll be fine.
Weirdest experience i had on tiktok, i was talking about how the clit tastes slightly different bc in my experience it does, and someone accused me of lying to make women feel insecure. Im still baffled as to what aspect of that could trigger an insecurity.
It'd be funny if the Waynes were like the Kennedys, big extended family that's memetically tragedy prone. When Thomas and Martha got shot everyone was like "yep, that's the curse. Like when Brad Wayne got the bends last year."
Get scammed using a debit card: tough shit your money is gone, good luck getting it back.
Get scammed using a credit card: report the fraud, charge taken off the bill immediately, credit card company goes after the scammer, no longer your problem, you lose nothing.
Easiest way to make the leap to being an avowed communist is to spend five minutes talking to a "victim" of a communist government
Interviewed a lady in florida who's schtick was having been imprisoned by Castro. The way people talked about her I assumed she was distributing literature or something. Turns out she was working for the CIA and tried to blow up a government building.
