I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and for standing by me through all this time.Thank God, the war has finally ended… but our suffering hasn’t.In fact, it has just begun — the struggle to rebuild our lives, to provide a decent life for our children, and to restore the future that was stolen from us.During the war, my wife gave birth to our baby girl, Masa, amid crisis and famine.Although the sounds of bombing have stopped, the cries of need remain — for shelter, food, water, and clothing. Prices are still unbearably high, and I have no source of income.That’s why I need your support now more than ever,to help me provide a dignified life for my family and rebuild what we’ve lost.
I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.
A friendly reminder that Queen Isabella of Spain, the very queen that allowed Columbus to sail through the Atlantic in the first place (and even gave him some resources for that) had him jailed and stripped of his position as a governor after she found out what he had done to the indigenous people in Hispaniola (what is today Haiti and the Dominican republic).
So no, it’s not some contemporary radical woke belief to say that Christopher Columbus was a monster. In fact, many pieces of historical evidence confirms his tyrannical treatment of the american natives.
In other words, no, Christopher Columbus should not be celebrated and instead deserves to be viewed as a cruel, disgusting POS that he really was.
ok this is the best thing i’ve ever ever ever seen everyone watch immediately
I had to look this up; the kid’s name is Olly Pearson, and he’s from Wales! He is 11 (!) years old and was on Britain’s Got Talent this year. (He finished fourth.) He’s on YouTube as Guitar Olly.
The lead singer is Mickey Callisto (he took his stage last name from one of the moons of Jupiter), who was also on BGT. (He made it to the semi-finals.) He’s from Sunderland in the UK.
The trio in the window are DDKN, a group from France. I can’t add fun facts here because duckduckgo gave me nothing. Rude honestly.
The flashmob video on youtube is mostly the same as the tiktok but it’s still fun to watch bigger.
hi, this is your gentle reminder and PSA: there are ELECTIONS happening on November 4th. PLEASE GO VOTE. Trump is the most unpopular he has ever been, but does that mean your average independent, or republican will vote for a dem this time around-likely no- they probably will just skip the process entirely if they don’t have a candidate they feel strongly about. this is why i’m asking YOU SPECIFICALLY to make sure to go vote. and i don’t wanna hear any doomerism shit about how voting is a waste of time bc of whatever, guys voting is the last of anything we have. it is clear most of these people who represent us do not actually care, HOWEVER trump currently has the house, senate and courts and making it even slightly harder for him to do anything or having a large enough group to speak out against what he’s doing will help hundreds of thousands of people in the US. now more than ever is it important to make sure that they know that we do not stand for this
sweet, might base an agricultural civilisation on this river, hope it behaves itself
might just fuck around and find out
Diversity win! This river has ADHD
Nile: You would not believe how long term you have to mismanage agriculture on my banks to start experiencing soil depletion. I will always be here for you Egypt.

I took two semesters of Chinese history in college. The first thing the professor started with was “getting to know the rivers, Yangtze and the Yellow Rivers. You need to know them because they will play very important roles in the history of China. The Yangtze has been crucial to trade, movement, culture and more. The Yellow river, the Yellow River can’t be trusted as you will repeatedly see.”
If you got stuck on a question during a test or whatever you could start with “the Yellow river jumped the banks causing instability and chaos that quickly spread” and would be correct more times than you would be incorrect.
I love geographical chats when it completely devolves into dragging a landform.
it’s really funny teaching rhetoric to college freshmen because i explained ad hominem to them via example by arguing with a student over something silly (i kept insisting 25 minutes was a quarter of an hour, not 15) and then “insulted” her instead of addressing her argument (i said she doesn’t have a college degree whereas i have two, so of course she’d be wrong - which the whole point is that it’s a stupid insult but not something that’s actually mean) but she got soooooo mad so even when i stopped the exercise and explained that she was indeed correct (15 minutes is a quarter of an hour). like she was still fuming. so i validated her feelings on that, complimented her, and even reminded the class that a college degree doesn’t mean that a person is smart/right. and then i went on to explain that, yeah, dirty arguing techniques like that are meant to make you so unreasonably angry that you can’t respond or that you lose your cool, so your opponent looks like they win by default. the student i was arguing with then just said that it seemed like professional ragebaiting and i was like. well yeah that’s correct.
and then this kid, this one kid who is always very eager to answer questions and is always kind to his classmates, raised his hand looking a little bothered. now for context, i emphasize thinking for yourself in my classroom, even if that means disagreeing with something i say and he has echoed some stuff that his parents clearly have told him before. he’s not a bad kid or an asshole, he’s just an 18 year old with conservative parents who otherwise knows nothing about politics. but he just looks so bothered after i explain this about dirty arguing techniques. big frown on his face. looking unsure. when i nod at him to speak, he says, in a very quiet voice, “didn’t – didn’t charlie kirk used to do that?”
and i was like. well yes. yes he was famous for stuff like this.
and then the kid looked down and was just like, “oh. i thought he was just really good at debating. i never watched his videos though, only clips. why would he do that?”
and that coincidentally lined up perfectly with the rest of the lesson, which was on propaganda
this? is why conservatives hate liberal arts education
