The Barbie movie: The Ken's need to find who they are outside of pursuing Barbies, a clear allegory for how real life men should not define themselves by trying to attract a partner and building their personality around that, something that would be healthier and better for them overall
Misogynists: barbie movie is so anti-men :(( how could they do this :((((

“After two years of solitary confinement, prisoner Ahmed Manasra was transferred to join his fellow prisoners.
Ahmed suffered from torture, abuse, and isolation, as well as loss of vision (due to lack of sunlight) and mental illness due to his solitary confinement. He has been held captive for 8 years after he was abducted at 13 years old in 2015.
The zionist prison administration also provided him with contaminated food and prevented his family from sending him money to buy food from the cantina.
Ahmed's solitary confinement was set to end 6 months ago in September, and he has served 8.5 years of his 9.5 year sentence, with the last two in solitary confinement.”

January 2022 article depicts testimonies of life in solitary confinement in Israeli prisons
“The cell was so small that I could not stretch my legs to sleep. I was given a small rag to sleep on and I had to bend my legs to fit in the small space … During this time I was beaten and the person who beat me told me he would stop beating me only if I confessed.”
“I felt so terrible that I wanted to kill myself. I broke a plastic fork they brought with the food and I cut my wrist and made more cuts along the inside of my arm until my elbow.”
“On my 7th day in solitary confinement I lost my mind completely and was in despair. I felt I could do anything; like attack the guard. I started to bang my head against the rough walls until I bled. When the guard found out he called in some soldiers and they took me to the clinic. The doctor treated my wound and then I was handcuffed and shackled and taken to a room where I was tied to a chair for about three hours as punishment for hurting myself.”
Watched Conclave last night. The emotional journey I went through thinking "oh this is just like Mean Girls haha" to "this is just Mean Girls" was insane

Hello dear friends,
I have some sad news for you. The war is back, but this time it is harsher and bloodier. Things have been going from bad to worse! I'll try to explain our suffering in simple words, despite that no words can describe our feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. 😞
Insecurity
Since the resumption of the genocide, we have a constant sense of insecurity. Every night, we have this ugly feeling that we may never wake up again. Loud explosions from every direction, and the continuous roar of fighter jets only add to our anxiety. People die while sleeping in their homes, walking in the streets or standing in lines for water and food. Sadly, there's no safe place in Gaza. 💔
War of Starvation
A month ago, Israel has closed border crossings, stopping all food and humanitarian aid from getting into Gaza. Basic commodities are getting scarce every day, and the prices are skyrocketing. As a result, the danger of famine and starvation looms large, so we have already started to minimize our food rations. ☹️
Water supply
As a result of the cessation of fuel supply, water pumps have stopped as well. With the lack of water supply, we found ourselves in a dire situation, paying huge sums for water, and manually moving it from far places. Have you ever considered moving water in buckets for hundreds of meters? Considering this reality, We decided to decrease our water consumption, a hard decision with dangerous impacts on our health and hygiene! 😭
Heating & cooking
With the crossings shut by Israel, the flow of fuel and cooking gas has stopped. As a result, we have been forced to use wood for heating and cooking. I don't need to explain the negative impacts of this on environment and public health, but we have no choice.
Transportation & power supply
It goes without saying that no fuel means no transportation and no power supply. The social impacts are not to be underestimated, as people can barely communicate with each other and with the outside world. As the Muslim world celebrate Ramadan and Eid El-Fitr, a special time for family bonding, people in Gaza stick to their homes due to the lack of transportation and sense of security.
Health care
Medicine stocks in pharmacies and hospitals are getting empty and the health care system is crumbling. This poses a threat particularly to our family, as my father and grandma suffer from chronic diseases. I am deeply worried about their survival.
On the background of these sad developments, I am turning to you for help. I humbly ask you to donate to our fundraiser. Your support, no matter how small, can be the line seperating life and death, safety and danger. 🙏
why is the x-men fandom lacking so much in stormverine content?

WHERE IS EVERYONE????
Lucian Msamati absolutely blew me away in Conclave and I just dont see enough people saying it. He really took the character of Adeyemi, on all fronts just a terrible, awful, person, and he acted his fucking heart out - I found myself in moments aghast that I was feeling sorry for this guy. This fucking guy! By all accounts more reactionary then Tedesco, and yet I saw the light leave his eyes as it registers that he will never be pope, never - and I felt his pain as if it was my own, followed by the smarting whip of self-disgust as the memory of his misdeeds crashed back in. Phenomenal. 10000000 plaudits for Lucian Msamati.
this is genuinely so fucking disgusting
when will people realize that if you are a rich, famous, powerful man you can get away with just about anything, especially something which people already don’t care about.
the justice system regarding rape and sexual assault cases is always so so disappointing considering there are very few cases where the rapist actually gets punished.
if a man is accused of rape/sexual assault by 13 (!!!!!!!) women i could care less about his mental health
“lets pray for benjamin” no. lets pray for the women whose lives have probably been ruined by this man.
“we can’t accept this to happen to us athletes”what about the hundreds of other athletes who have been accused of rape/sexual assault etc. (cr7 and hakimi to name a few)
Since I am, now, gaining some traction I thought it would be the best time to say I write fanfiction. Here's the link to the one I'm currently working on!
Don't worry, I plan on publishing the next chapter tonight!
