Updates from Iran
Some major updates from people in Iran and leaks:
- While the official number of deaths is stated to be between 2,000-3,000, people estimate that the actual number of deaths is estimated to be at least 12,000. Videos show bodies all over the streets and body bags just lying on the ground.
- Doctors are reporting being overwhelmed by the casualties.
- The regime is trying to arrest injured protesters in the hospital.
- The regime is charging money to return the bodies of murdered protesters to their families. (This practice is already disgusting, but imagine charging money at their rates in Iran's current economic status when people can barely afford bread.)
- People are reporting that people from the regime's affiliates and proxy groups in the region have already been brought in to help with the suppression.
- Messages being sent from Iran are saying that curfews are being enforced and that the regime's forces, including these proxies, are shooting indiscriminately at will.
- Executions will really start tomorrow.
- The regime is doing whatever it can to cut off people from the world. It's very difficult for people to contact family in Iran. There is still an internet blackout.
- Despite this, there is still some footage coming out that people are still willing to risk it all and fight.
This is a humanitarian crisis. The people of Iran need your support more than ever. Amplify their voices, and don't let the regime get away with its crimes in darkness. Hold your governments and media to account to make sure that they support the people of Iran and not support the regime.
All eyes on Iran.
How it feels to find a fanfic where your favorite character is going through literally the worst horrors you can imagine
haaattee that ✨ is associated with ai. that’s my emoji, not urs. you’re NOT whimsy.
Finally broke down and looked up "67" on wikipedia today, and i love that wikipedia had to include the fact that people are using the meme as evidence of "brain rot" in younger generations because of how low-effort it is. And like, i have no horse in this race, i'm clearly out of touch enough with what the kids are saying that i have to go look up memes on the internet to understand them, but brain rot? I'm pretty sure kids have been saying random numbers as memes since... like, the beginning of language. the beginning of numbers. I'm guessing that some time around 15,000 years ago in hunter-gatherer tribes all around the world a scene played out where one kid shouted "hey look, four rocks!" after seeing a few rocks on the ground, and every other kid in the tribe shouted "four rocks! four rocks!" and the adults just stood around like "what the fuck are the kids on about now?" and then had to live with the kids saying "four rocks!" every time they saw four of literally any object together. Like, this does not seem like a new phenomenon.
You make a compelling point. Especially because "four rocks" IS hella fun to say. Thanks for the new way to confuse my friends when hiking!
four rocks!!!
four rocks!!!
The high geologist strikes again.
Anonymous asked:
What’s wrong with euthanasia if you want to be euthanized? For people who want it, I think it’s a better way out than suffering and dying anyway

Yeah, what’s so bad about the government coercing society’s ‘undesirables’ into killing themselves for the betterment of the state? Gee, I can’t imagine…
In addition,
1. The principle of all men being created equal means that the value of one human life is the value of each human life.
2. If a person should only be alive for as long as they want to be, we have no basis for condemning or preventing suicide.
3. Humans are not animals. Suffering is not the worst thing that can happen to us.
4. From a purely utilitarian viewpoint, killing those with terminal conditions means we lose the opportunity to learn how to defeat those conditions.
It's literally the smallest detail but the thing that made me laugh the hardest (okay besides the skimbelshanks bit) was when Cy asks if they know anything that could relate to Eve's apple and Benoit and Jud slowly lean to cover up the extremely relevant object behind them. The comedic timing is perfect.
In the new knives out movie we have a young woman struggling with coping with her pain and disability desperately turning to religion on the off chance she can get a miracle. She doesn’t believe but she is just that desperate for relief she would worship anything that offered it. She is told by her priest (that she gave her life savings to, her entire wellbeing is in his hands) that “there is no cure. You will die in pain and that (wheel) chair will be your prison.”
She is shown at the end still in pain, still struggling but no longer waiting for a miracle. Our valiant narrator tells us she has found her daily bread, a reason to wake up and try again each day despite her body trying not to.
I almost fucking sobbed. I’m not religious, but I’m disabled and there’s no cure and it hurt to see myself in this movie like this.
