Apparently PETA is adverising on tumblr now (i just saw a very horrifying ad on my dash) so now feels like a great time to remind you that PETA are fucking awful. They're a straight up evil organisation, they have the highest kill-rate of any pet "shelter" in existence, they once stole a pet dog off a family's front porch and euthanased it almost immediately for NO valid reason whatsoever (it wasn't lost, it wasn't aggressive, it wasn't abandoned and unable to be rehomed, it wasn't sick, etc). They operate as a business and not as a charity, with barely any of their funds going to the animals and most going on advertising costs and insane wages for their staff. Most of the animals they take to their cheaters get euthanaised. Of the ones that don't, most get sent to other non-PETA shelters. That's a thing. PETA will regularly take animals from their own shelters and dump them at non-afiliated shelters. Its better than killing them, obviously, but it means that theyre not actually doing their job of rehoming animals. Of all the animals they take in, they rehome between 2% and 6% depending on the year. A grand total of 6% of animals are rehomed. Of the remaining 94% - the lucky ones are dumped at other shelters, but most are killed, even though they're healthy and friendly and adoptable.
You should never ever ever give PETA a single fucking CENT of your money.
you ever feel the need to say sorry to no one and everyone? That you've fucked up somehow? And then you start crying? But you don't let yourself cry cause it's stupid and I should stop but the tears don't and you feel bad but you have no reason to feel bad I didn't do anything-
Boost and donate if you can
tumblr users will see the word shrimp and black out and hit reblog without reading the rest of the post

he is INSANE
It's interesting how there's an abundance of videos showing IOF soldiers gleefully committing various atrocities toward Palestinian civilians and not a single one of those videos showing them actually fighting Hamas.
Why aren’t the Gaza and Palestine tags trending anymore?
Are some people just done talking because of the ICJ’s hearing and subsequent ruling? (That’s when I noticed the tag start to dip.)
It’s still happening.
Innocent people are still being murdered
Innocent people are still starving
Innocent people are still losing their parents, siblings, children, friends, and neighbors
Innocent people are still fearing for their lives
Israel is currently committing war crimes with the full support of: President Biden (USA), Chancellor Scholz (Germany), Prime Minister Sunak (UK), President Macron (France), Prime Minister Meloni (Italy).
I just don’t understand what’s happening, why is this losing steam? Please, someone, explain it to me. I genuinely want to know.
My pinned post is still, and for the foreseeable future will always be, sulfurcosmos post, which shows you ways you can help Palestine - but always do your own research!

Repost of Instagram post by alessandra_sanguinetti:
“In 2004 I worked as an intern in Newsweek and had to go through the wires coming in from the Middle East.
The Iraq war was raging. Israel was committing its routine violations and killings.
The images were devastating and unequivocally condemning of both the USA and Israel, but I remember the editors would reject all my picks and demand images of burnt cars or vague images of destruction.
So I brought a hard drive and collected everything they didn't publish.
It was my first live glimpse of the lack of ethics or integrity in most US media.
Not the journalists on the ground, but of the senior editors making the calls - in their self important glass cubicles.
And no, to the cynics out there..it's not all too complicated to discuss on social media.
Social media is the only reason we know what's happening in Palestine.
And the only reason mainstream news has to keep up and sprinkle some actual news now and then.
Meanwhile we are seeing much less footage coming out of Gaza - Israel has been killing off all the journalists.
This is terrifying.”
