Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.
Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.
Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.
Bisan's recent post. I think it's important for you to read it. Tonight 03.12.23, journalists in gaza share their last messages. There are no words to describe the horrors unfolding in gaza right now.
I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!
I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.
I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!
I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!
My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel’s annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .
A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.

Was curious how far Ithaca was from troy today while listening to epic the musical and rereading the illiad and I found this map
I think odysseus would have been better just to walk😭
After watching the new video in helluva boss, it took a while as to why Vortex was at the party. At first I thought he there as her bodyguard but there were moments he wasn’t. Like the Ozzie episode.
But after watching this scene multiple times (because this song is such a bop) I remembered that he is very empathetic and by the looks of it, to his employers as well.
My guess during or after the spring break episode, Verosika told Tex what lead to them breaking up. And once we got to hear what happened, we can understand how painful it was. My guess at the time, Tex was just indifferent since Luna is affiliated with Blitz. And kept his opinions to himself.
I wouldn’t be surprised that after Blitz ended up crashing Tex’s girlfriend’s party, he got a somewhat complete idea of what he thinks of Blitz; chaotic and destructive. And in this episode, Verosika probably extended the invitation to him so he can be included and understand just how dysfunctional he is. And by seeing how many of Blitz’s exes showed up, it just sealed the deal for him.
I’m sure there’s an emotional support dog joke in there because of just how patient and supportive he is with everyone. But I like to think he knows how much this affected Verosika that he probably just asked if he could be there just in case.
Also, my personal head cannon is that after the song, he picked up Blitz’s scent at alerted her afterwards. But instead of kicking him out, Verosika told Tex to just enjoy himself and that she’ll handle it herself.
And luckily, she did, and got some closure out of it.
Thank you for listening to my short Ted talk.
Getting out of the comfort zone can be uncomfortable.
What's funny about Megan dressing like Bruno and announcing Jujutsu Kaisen as the Anime of the Year is that Satoru's sub VA, Yuichi Nakamura, won for Best Voice Performance (sub) and also voices Bruno. In English, Bruno is voiced by Ray Chase who voices Sukuna (and Choso).
And she's cosplayed as all three of these characters now.
