(if any links are broken let me know. Or pull up the current post to check whether it's fixed.)
Keep in mind please, all these journalists in gaza and Palestinians who communicate what's happening in Gaza are communicating in English for a reason, accessibility. Us arab speaking and arabs and people in the Mena region understand all of it, know all of it, grew up with all of it unfolding, we know... They need you to know, they are speaking your language and accessible language for you to hear and share. It's easy to communicate through numbers and dehumanising reporting but storytelling and reporting is important and appealing to you through your language is another privilege you have yet to acknowledge.
I don't think we can change the system by continuing to operate inside it
I'M AT A WEDDING I'M HAVING SUCH A LOVELY TIME THE VIBES ARE IMMACULATE I LOVE PEOPLE AND I LOVE YOU
i love how much the buddy system is built into playing ace attorney. no one ever investigates things by themselves. when maya gets kidnapped, phoenix investigates with pearl & at one point makes a joke that pearl doesn’t pick up, which makes him miss maya. when pearl & maya are on the other side of the bridge in aa3, franziska insists on him coming with him. when phoenix can’t investigate because of his cold, it’s not just edgeworth that looks at crime scene, but edgeworth and gumshoe. apollo gets left alone for five minutes in the gavinners dressing room and he’s immediately like “oh i wish trucy could have heard my joke about this guitar” or “trucy would love this post card.”
i’m sure part of it is just narratively things flow a lot better if information is split between two characters but it also just gives the impression that everyone actually genuinely likes each other. it feels very endearing. don’t separate them
my dealer: got some straight gas🔥😛 this strain is called house of leaves😳 you'll be zonked out of your gourd💯
me: yeah whatever. i don't feel shit
5 min later: dude i swear the house is 1/4" bigger on the inside
my buddy, will navidson, pacing: our house is God

So true my brother, go off my friend
Kirby lore is the video game equivalent of Adventure Time
Palestinians' life-line is a tiny rectangle because the world couldn't give less of a fuck about them.
Let that sink in.
They have to record every single moment of this massacre. Or it didn't happen.
They have to record themselves holding their dead children. Or it didn't happen.
They have to record themselves crying in despair. Or it didn't happen.
They have to record rescuing children from underneath rubble. Or it didn't happen.
They have to record the countless wounded and dead. Or it didn't happen.
They have to record speaking while surrounded by the body bags of people they know while microphones are pushed in their faces. Or it didn't happen.
They have to do this every single second for 19 days. They have had to do this even before the 7th. There is a 2014 video of a man killed by an airstrike on camera.
Their life-line is their fucking phones.
You have all reduced their lives to their fucking phones.
AND DESPITE ALL OF THAT, US-of-fucking-A Biden, and all you other brain-dead fucks still have the gal to question the amount of casualties.
You have reduced them to a rectangle in their hands and that still isn't enough??? You're all sick. SICK.
