I think a very important thing for people who say they feel helpless right now to do is to take the time to do their research on Palestine and its history and how we even got to this point. I will always recommend reading decolonizepalestine.com it has so much information and debunks so many of the myths people believe surrounding Palestine and Israel. Being able to get informed and help spread Palestinian’s voices and history is an easy and free way to keep the conversation going and get people to take this genocide seriously.
I’ve never gone out of my way to listen to The Offspring so I thought that was one of their songs from the 90s that just kept getting radio play around that time?? I had no idea it released in 2008 until today lmao wtf
Music polls are fun tbh
The year is 2008 and your friend offers to split the headphones on their iPod Nano with you. You get to pick the song that comes next
wow season three of picard is even worse than i expected somehow
This was intended to be a Valentine's day painting but I like it so much that I wanna show it to everyone as soon as possible 😅 My emotional state was so dark lately that no matter how many times I told myself to use lighter colors, it ended up all neon and black, and blue, and purple...
In my own little 'I can help *this* one' scream into the universe, I've been de-stringing the feet of the pigeons that live in the park across from my office.
Pigeons (rock doves) are feral, and they live in our cities. With our rubbish. They get string (human hair, fishing line, threads, etc) wrapped around their feet when they do their little circling dance, or from their nests, and they can't get it off themselves. So they limp along as best they can, for as long as they can. They're pretty tough little guys! If you start to look, you'll probably notice a lot of them are missing toes or have strictures holding their feet in painful positions. Some even have both feet bound together.
But the good news is - it's actually SUPER easy to help them!
This little guy had thread around one foot, and wire and nylon line around the other. I removed it on my lunch break on Monday, and now he's already walking easier and won't be losing any more toes.
The photo is from the next day, because he came back to hang out again without hesitation. They're very friendly.
People really hate pigeons, which is a bit unfair considering we are the ones who brought them in to our cities in the first place. If you want to make a world of difference to some lives that don't get a lot of love any more, check out the below for everything you need to know.
The contradiction between what we were playing and reality is this: Oftentimes we worked until two or three in the morning. We’re not the only company still shooting, but, yeah, we’re late. Cars are going through the gate, the arm comes down. There’s a line of cars. Then when I get there, the gate comes down and security says to me, “Open your trunk.” I said, “No. Why? All these other cars just … Why? What do you think I have in this Volkswagon Rabbit? What’s in there, the Defiant?” What I’m trying to say is that the contradiction, or the paradox of it all, we can’t get away from. You see what I mean? I wish sometimes that were true; that the fact I played Sisko would make some kind of difference on the street. No, only on the screen. The contradictions are evident. They are inescapable in a way.”
