More than 60% of the global population that are classified as the Phase 5 famine/catastrophe level of food insecurity and starvation are in the Gaza Strip right now, and that percentage is projected to increase to 95% by Februrary
the list of arms and ammunition that the US has sent to Israel (which Biden is trying to hide from the public) has been leaked
So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom
It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

Seeing the reports yesterday about how as of November 27, while Israel had released 117 hostages as part of the agreement, it has taken 116 new captives from the West Bank should tell you a lot about Israel.
One reporter said something like "for every family celebrating the return of their child from Israeli captivity, another family is mourning due to the detention of their child by Israel"
Israel hates nothing more than to see Palestinians rejoice, this is why they banned celebrations and distributing sweets in the first place.
Duolingo Sucks, Now What?: A Guide
Now that the quality of Duolingo has fallen (even more) due to AI and people are more willing to make the jump here are just some alternative apps and what languages they have:
Busuu (Languages: Spanish, Japanese, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Korean)
Language Transfer (Languages: French, Swahili, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, English for Spanish Speakers)
Pimsleur (Literally so many languages)
Glossika (Also a lot of languages, but minority languages are free)
*anecdote: I borrowed my brother's Japanese Pimsleur CD as a kid and I still remember how to say the weather is nice over a decade later. You can find the CDs at libraries and "other" places I'm sure.
Mango (Languages: So many and all endangered/Indigenous courses are free even if you don't have a library that has a partnership with Mango)
AnkiDroid: (Theoretically all languages, pre-made decks can be found easily)
AnkiApp: It's almost as good as AnkiDroid and free compared to the official Anki app for iphone
lingory
ChineseSkill (You can use their older version of the course for free)
Bunpo: (Languages: Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Korean, and Mandarin)
there's still a week left for the funniest possible thing to happen (charles dying before the coronation) like to charge reblog to cast or whatever
the thing about the us empire is that no matter how evil you know it to be, it is in fact even more evil than that. like the sheer amount of tragedy that has been facilitated for the purposes of maintaining this nation is genuinely unfathomable. and obviously that’s true of all empires, but since i do happen to live here, it’s an unavoidable truth i must contend with from moment to moment. and it’s sickening
hope is a skill

IOF soldiers killed three Israeli hostages even though they were waving a white flag. Israel took responsibility and said it violated their “rules of engagement” but also justified it by saying the terrorists wear street clothes so it’s hard to know and it’s like…your soldiers saw a universal sign of surrender and helplessness and were like “they might be Palestinian so shoot to kill” and we know this is used to target civilians and not Hamas because so many civilians have reported being shot at, killed, or targeted despite clear surrender. And further collaborates hostage reports of the IOF just not showing any restraint and shooting indiscriminately.
Do you see this shit????
eternal love for her (palestine)
