This is just my conjecture but regarding the Red Crescent isn’t it possible that RC staff just… aren’t able to resist Hamas forcing them to smuggle weapons even if they said no? Considering that I’d imagine RC workers don’t have any combat skills or weapons and Hamas personel are… well yknow., it wouldn’t be surprising if they’re just scared into / forced into doing it

Not saying it’s great but I’m just saying I kinda don’t blame them if they’re forced or pressured, when the people forcing you have insane hyper-extreme beliefs i wouldn’t blame them

so a thing i think people don't always get:

spammers lie.

if you get spam, they are lying. yes, really.

if you get spam from someone claiming they were vetted, the conclusion you should reach is not "ahh, this one is legitimate", it is "oh, the entity vetting them is part of the grift".

i know it sounds horrifying to imagine someone so unthinkably depraved that they would say a false thing on the internet, but i have to say, it's... actually pretty normal.

always remember that fake proof is a central component of scamming people who are careful enough to check, but not careful enough to think about whether the way they're checking is actually meaningful.

Why are you garbage for blocking people without giving them a chance? Was it something political or down right stupid?

South Korea’s National Assembly has passed a resolution to lift the martial law (190-0).

Parliament votes against martial law decree. All 190 members who were able to enter the main hall voted in favor of the bill. None voted against.

Lawmakers are clapping after the vote. You can hear them saying, “Good job.”

its so baffling to me how they made the rawest coolest Ganondorf design then made him the most depthless 2 dimensional character possible. how did they fuck it up so bad

The past is rarely as we imagine it.

I just discovered foodtimeline.org, which is exactly what it sounds like: centuries worth of information about FOOD.  If you are writing something historical and you want a starting point for figuring out what people should be eating, this might be a good place?

No Dogs Under Heaven

My husband came to the youth theater rehearsal I was directing last night to work on some set pieces. He usually only works set on weekends when nobody is there, so his goal was to be totally inconspicuous. But the second and third graders treated him like a walking stim video. They were totally absorbed by his painting and drilling and clapped for him when he began or finished a task.

Having a Minotaur Boyfriend would be so fucking funny

Like imagine crying on the couch and you hear his thunderous, big body SUV built ass footsteps approach you.

"Baby, what's wrong," he says tenderly as he rubs your shoulder.

You look up to explain how bad your day was with tears in your eyes and you fucking see this:

There are a fair few faux feminist statements I hate, but “We are the daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn” is one of them.

Found on mastodon, must share!

a raven father (i call him "pants") I've been feeding sometimes likes to sit outside my window and either wait for more food or just listen to the stuff I'm watching while I draw. Today's a colder day so he likes to fluff up a bit, and I kid you not :

this is an accurate representation of my view
