Kabul Has Fallen, Afghanistan Is Almost Completely Under Taliban Rule Now, And President Ashraf Ghani

Kabul has fallen, Afghanistan is almost completely under Taliban rule now, and President Ashraf Ghani has fled. I wasn't alive during the Vietnam war, but having seen the images of Saigon at the end of it, it's impossible not to think of them when seeing the footage of Chinooks airlifting US embassy workers to Kabul airport. l cannot tell you how surreal it is to be watching the news from neighboring Pakistan, sitting next to my grandfather who has been alive for every change of government since the Brits left after the war.

History repeats and repeats and repeats, nobody learns a damn thing, and innocent civilians are the ones that suffer.

250 000 Afghans have left their homes. Many more are going to do so. And that's just the ones who flee. Those who don't will live under a conservative rule that is going to commit crimes against humanity on a daily basis, that is going to ruin the lives of generations to come.

The worst part is, I don't know what else there is to be done at this point. I can only pray that my country will accommodate the incoming refugees, though I fear they won't.

All I ask is that international community keep Afghanistan in their thoughts, and that everyone raises their voice against what is happening, both in terms of what the Taliban is doing, and how the actions of foreign powers led us to this point. The US, the UK, Pakistan, are all at fault, and must be held accountable

I’m gonna say something….. controversial

A painting of many disabled people of all gender identities, body types, and races. In the center is text that says 'Disabled people are experts of their own lives and know what they need.'
A disabled person with one arm and dark skin, looking gorgeous, inspired by nadina laspina, with text that says: 'Disabled people's lives are not tragedies.'

A chameleon with text that says 'Not all pain is visible.'
Three disabled people of different races, gender identities, and body types. One has a prosthetic leg. One has an amputated arm. One is in a wheelchair. Text says: 'People with disabilities have a right to make their own decisions about their bodies and lives.'
A disabled person with lighter skin next to a service dog. The person's dress says: 'If your activism isn't accessible who is it even for?'
A wheelchair-user with dark skin, looking exasperated, with a speech bubble that says, 'I'm not interested in your unsolicited medical advice.'

Random bee behavior fact for those who wish to read, just because I feel like it and because it’s late and I’m stalling on sleeping:

Bumblebees may seem like passive, cuddly, and docile creatures, but they won’t hesitate to defend themselves if they feel as if their warnings aren’t being read or taken seriously.

I.e. the photo and diagram below, when a bee feels threatened they will raise one or more of their legs into the air, signaling to whatever or whomever may be bothering them as a message essentiality saying: “hey, back off, too close!”

Random Bee Behavior Fact For Those Who Wish To Read, Just Because I Feel Like It And Because It’s Late
Random Bee Behavior Fact For Those Who Wish To Read, Just Because I Feel Like It And Because It’s Late

species pictured: bombus pascuorum, bombus impatiens

If their defensive posture goes unnoticed or ignored, they may be pushed into defending themselves by stinging (which is also a stressful experience for not only one such as yourself, but also for the bee.) If you ever find yourself getting close to a bumblebee while taking pictures, walking close to them, or just admiring them, remember this posture! If a bee does this, it is simply asking you to take a step back as it feels it is being threatened.

Now you can understand and use this knowledge to your advantage if you ever come across one in the future. (Of course, because it’s very hard not to anthropomorphize animals, I do have to admit that they do look pretty cute when doing it. Just remember to respect them though!)
