imagine finding an abandoned house and thinking you can maybe take some stuff from it but instead you find a troupe of the worst theatre gays you’ve ever seen putting on the most unconvincing and disorganized production and the scariest serial killer you’ve ever heard of who seems to be just hanging out with them enjoying the show. like what was going through the minds of those dutch merchants. are they okay
Me in the dentist’s office when all my normal person clothes are dirty:
Tumblr has always been weird, but I think one of the weirdest things is this website’s obsession with the Ides of March. Like where did that come from?
This, but just like that episode of community where Abed’s entire storyline is just in the background of the episode. Not even an Easter egg, just give them a full ass side plot
You know what would be hilarious in Spiderman No Way Home?
if we just see Venom and Eddie in the background of a bunch of shots, but he's just hanging out. He's not fighting, he's not even watching. He's just in the background eating a muffin or something.
Not involved at all. Just... there.
Maybe there's a big battle and we see Eddie and Venom having a picnic in the park. Or eating chocolate.
They're just a really weird easter egg in every shot.
Wee guy got fucking vaporised. Who cares
I think my favorite thing is that Samba took all the other photos, but in the one taken of him there’s a finger on the lens
The whole gang!
As a long time fan of both MCR and Fall Out Boy, which one hurt worse;
Fun fact: Did you know I’m really really bad at drawing seagulls after a couple beers?
An amazing speech by Kenya at the UN Security Council regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, 22/02/2022 (video excerpt from this reddit post)
Transcript:
Kenya is gravely concerned by the announcement made by the Russian Federation to recognise Donetsk and Luhansk Regions of Ukraine as independent states. In our considered view, this action and announcement breaches the territorial integrity of Ukraine. We do not deny that there may be serious security concerns in these regions, but they cannot justify today’s recognition of these regions as independent states. Not when there are multiple diplomatic tracks available and underway that have the ability to offer peaceful solutions.
Mr President, this situation echoes our history. Kenya and almost every African country was birthed by the ending of empires. Our borders were not of our own drawing. They were drawn in the distant colonial metropolis of London, Paris and Lisbon with no regard for the ancient nations that they cleaved apart. Today, across the border of every single African country live our countrymen with whom we share deep historical, cultural and linguistic bonds. At independence, had we chosen to pursue states on the basis of ethnic, racial or religious homogeneity, we would still be waging bloody wars these many decades later. Instead, we agreed that we would settle for the borders that we inherited, but we would still pursue continental, political, economic and legal integration. Rather than form nations that looked ever-backword into history with a dangerous nostalgia, we chose to look forward to a greatness none of our nations and many peoples had ever known. We chose to follow the rules of the Organisation of African Unity and the United Nations Charter; not because our borders satisfied us, but because we wanted something greater forged in peace.
We believe that all states formed from empires that have collapsed or retreated have many peoples in them yearning for integration from people in neighbouring states. This is normal and understandable. After all, who does not want to be joined to the brethren and to make common purpose with them? However, Kenya rejects such a yearning from being pursued by force. We must complete our recovery from the embers of dead empires in a way that does not plunge us back into new forms of domination and oppression. We rejected irredentism and expansionism on any basis including racial, ethnic, religious or cultural factors. We reject it again today.
Kenya registers its strong concern and opposition to the recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states. We further strongly condemn the trend in the last few decades of powerful states including members of this security council breaching international law with little regard.
