I think the reason why Kylo is so hard to sympathize with his because the character Finn exists.
Kylo was born with wealth, privilege, a loving family, and Force powers. Finn was an enslaved child soldier with no family and nobody who cared about him.
Kylo may have been influenced by Snoke but he was also influenced by Luke, Leia, Han, and Jedi values. Finn grew up hearing nothing but First Order propaganda.
Yet when the time came for them to make a choice Finn made the right one and Kylo made the wrong one. Finn chose not to murder innocent people while Kylo did multiple times.
This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.
The International Skating Union and government of Stockholm are planning to host the World Figure Skating Championships with no bubble, close to no safety measures, and with kids as young as 15 attending without parents, who then would be quarantined in a foreign country without support if they get COVID-19.
The “safety measures” :
Arrival no later than 1- 2 days before the event starts. If participants want to quarantine before or after the event, they HAVE TO pay out of pocket.
Only 2 Covid tests administered.
A loophole if you happen have a positive PCR test .
Masks suggested not mandated
Only temperature checks after negative pcr tests
Symptoms self reported by athletes, there is no enforcement of this
The ISU has also not been forthcoming or clear with vital details- they say regular testing but have not given a schedule for testing and only detailed the first 2 tests
They have not given any information about if parents or family can accompany minors other than-no chaperones as part of the national team - nothing about if kids will have to be alone. This is because instead of increasing the measures like testing they cut down the number of people allowed (these details were also only given after fans petitioned)
Stockholm’s case count has also just doubled in 3 weeks, and their Crown Princess (Who’s supposed to be at the event) got infected
Sweden is also currently considered a high risk/incidence area by multiple countries- here’s Japan ( where 80% of figure skating’s money come from) and Germany’s classification (most flights to Stockholm also connect through Germany)
Covid-19s effect on athletes include but are not limited to- heart and lung damage, breathlessness, heart defects, asthma, here are just some accounts from figure skaters
Anastasia Shpilevya- Russian Ice dancer- has had to end her career due to covid complications
Evgenia medvedeva - 2x world champion, 2x olympic silver medalist - has lung damage
Daniel Grassl - 3x Italian national champion- now has a heart defect and lung damage
Many like Nathan Chen(2x world champ), Yuzuru Hanyu( 2x world champion 2x olympic chamiopn) and Jason Brown( Us national chmapion) have spoken about their concern for their own safety and the safety of their friends and fellow athletes.
Yuzuru has been raising his voice for moths now so you can check out his interviews at https://twitter.com/axelwithwings
These skaters have NO CHOICE but to go, most of the spots for the 2022 olympics are only available through this 1 competition. In speed skating, where the qualification is different, Korea, Japan, Britain and China pulled their teams out of the world championships (despite having 10x the safety precautions).

anyways here are some current nhl players and active women’s players sorted by height and weight because dividing competion class by sex obviously makes a ton of sense
Look I’m gonna be real for a sec I don’t care england lost I don’t care about football but I am worried of what the media will do to Rashford, Sancho, and Saka English media can be relentlessly racist
losing my mind over this thread at r/neverbrokeabone
Hello, so I have noticed a grave injustice, as you can probably tell I have been interested in a lot of different ships and fandoms. I have found a ship that I absolutely love and want more fanfiction of, it is frodo x aragorn, a rare pair, but a pair none the less. If anyone can help me with this, it will be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time gege1117
Fun fact gigi1117 was taken, so I took what I could get.
Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.
The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.
💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.
I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.
Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.
Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.
Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.
With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️
