A Man Self Immolated In Front Of The Israeli Embassy In Washington Dc Yesterday. Not Just Any Man. An

a man self immolated in front of the israeli embassy in washington dc yesterday. not just any man. an active member of the us air force. he live streamed his death, and said that he refused to be complicit in a genocide any longer. he said that compared to what palestinians were facing every day, setting himself alight was nothing.

let me reiterate. an active duty air force member burned himself alive because he was so disgusted by what the us government was openly supporting. he live-streamed his own suicide, so the whole world could bear witness as a man in his military uniform set himself on fire to protest his government’s complicity in the horrors that we have all been forced to watch happen in real time. he became a new horror. footage of the immolation blurs him out the moment the fire catches, but you can hear him. it is over in seconds, really, but you can hear him screaming. he shouts “free palestine” until his body physically cannot make any sounds other than guttural screams of agony. and then he falls silent. a police officer arrives and points a gun at his still burning body, shouting at him to get down on the ground. and it is over.

his name was Aaron Bushnell. he was twenty five years old. and he isn’t here anymore because the political ruling class has decided that genocide is perfectly fine as long as it preserves imperialism. in the coming days, people will try to discredit him. to say that he was mentally unstable. they will try to bury his actions to save face and defend israel’s propaganda. do not let them. aaron knew what he was doing. he knew what he was doing when he put on his military uniform, set up his twitch stream, and made his final walk up to the embassy. he knew what would happen to him when he flicked that lighter. do not let them forget. aaron’s blood is on the hands of the political ruling class.

2018-2019 LGBTQ+ COUPLES

Hi! I know I haven’t posted in a while but I wanted to share my favorite and most recent wlw couples in case you guys were interested in watching them too! So if you’re in need of more gay in your life take a scroll below!

*SPOILER ALERTS*

1. Princess Bubblegum + Marceline (Adventure Time)

Obviously I had to put them in here… being one of the first openly wlw couples on a chilren’s cartoon show. They’re your typical friends to enemies to lovers trope except it’s a trope that ends well! So tune in to Adventure Time if you want laughs and lovable character development. Princess Bubblegum is the epitome of “independent woman” who plays off the softer Marcy (cute nickname she calls her) so well. I’d recommend the Stakes series that focuses on Marceline the lesbian vampire queen cause c’mon we all love a lesbian vampire fighting crime with her gf who’s a literal royal queen.

2. Kate + Rana (Coronation Street)

You might remember the show Coronation Street because of the classic couple Sophie and Sian (I know I made myself cry just typing those names out) And while most of us know how they end up I have hopes that Kate and Rana will get a happy ending. Again, I hope… I still haven’t finished watching their storyline. Unfortunately the actress who plays Rana is leaving the show but she said they’re still in the midst of filming more scenes. Having said that, it’s a great show. One word… drama. And more of it. They’re both such genuine characters and Rana is a POC (finally). At first their story focuses on Rana’s muslim background and how it affects their relationship. Again, there’s drama. But rightly so. It’s great to see a lesbian storyline covering these lowly represented stories. AND CAN I JUST SAY RANA IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PERSON LIKE OMYGOD. THE WAY SHE TALKS ABOUT KATE WHEN SHE ISNT THERE I COULD CRY.

3. Karolina + Nico (Marvel Runaways)

If you’re a slut for superheroes like me you’ll enjoy this one. (Bonus) more POC. And I mean they’re literally the human versions of Princess Bubblegum and Marceline how could you not like them. Seriously what are you doing not watching the show right now. Also someone once said Karolina (the blonde one) looks like Clarke and Lexa’s love child and I have not been able to unsee it… you’re welcome now you won’t either.

4. Elena + Syd (One Day At A Time)

Last but not least, the dorkiest lgbtq+ couple I could think of. Notice how I said lgbtq+ instead of lesbian because Syd (right) identifies as non-binary. Talk about open minded. This show is about a cuban family living in modern los angeles (a single mom, grandmother, brother, and sister: Elena). They’re both a good balance of political and fanatic. The show talks about lots of important and usually overlooked topics… at the same time, it keeps the relationship between Elena and Syd as genuine and relatable as possible. What’s not to love.

So there you have it! I hope you enjoyed/will enjoy these shows.

Oh. And almost forgot.
