I Still Won't Forget When My Wisdom Tooth Got Infected And Couldn't Sleep Bc The Pain Was So Bad And

Found this on facebook but reposting to SAVE A LIFE.

Or at least some of y’all’s GPAs.

You’re welcome.

I hope everyone understands, when I say “most endangered habitat on earth”, I mean temperate grasslands.

They’re more endangered than tropical rainforests, coral reefs, the arctic tundra, all of those go-to environments that get more of the spotlight.

Where I live, maybe 25% of the prairie remains in a natural state and that number is dropping. Even these fragments are mostly missing the keystone species that maintain their health, like bison, wolves, and prairie dogs. I know this is the case for other grasslands like the pampas and steppe as well. Vast lands empty of many species that used to call them home.

If you live on temperate grasslands, hold onto them tight, because they’ve been exploited like no other land and most people don’t even know how far the devastation goes.

I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.

The United Nations Security Council on Monday passed its first resolution calling for a Gaza cease-fire after four failed attempts. The United States abstained, allowing it to pass.

The resolution, backed by 14 nations, including China and Russia, demands an immediate cease-fire during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and the release of all hostages.

Four previous cease-fire resolutions had failed, including one proposed by the United States on Friday. The U.S. abstention is likely to further strain U.S. relations with Israel amid sharp disagreements over Israel’s planned military offensive in Rafah.

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!!

Irish MEP Clare Daly calls for tangible action against Israel

Pointing out that formal Irish recognition of Palestine is already decades late, the Independent MEP proposed that more needs to be done. She suggested an arms embargo and the suspension of Irish trade with Israel.

Came across one of the saddest videos from Gaza today. I actually don't know if it's from today or not, but it's of a father saying his final goodbye to his baby over video call. The baby was killed in an Israeli air strike and was held by his uncles who were lamenting with the father that his son was born during this genocide and was killed during this genocide without his father, who's working abroad, ever meeting him. The video ends with the father, through a grainy video call, crying and begging his brothers to kiss his son for him over and over.

Out of sheer curiosity I decided to go through the comments, perhaps I was subconsciously trying to give myself sometime to sit with this unimaginable agony before scrolling to anything else.

What I saw was that the majority of the comments were all the same, just multiple iterations of "how is this ok?" and "how can anyone find this ok?"

But here's the thing: this is obviously not okay and millions of people around the world have collectively made it very clear that this is an abhorrent genocide that we are witnessing unfold right on our screens. "Not ok" is the most hollow way to describe it.

At this point in time, it is desperately crucial for your focus to shift. It has been six months of this ongoing carnage. We know this is not ok and you need to stop appealing to the minds of those who think otherwise and get to actual work.

Instead of regurgitating the same empty and powerless question of how could this be ok, we really need to be asking different questions. Instead of projecting with your "I don't think this is ok and I wonder how come you don't", perhaps invest in asking harder questions and start looking for actual ways to mobilise, aid, organise and put in meaningful work towards stopping this genocide or at least bringing more attention to it.

Get to work and quit asking stupid questions in the face of atrocity.
