On this day, January 13, 2004: British photography student Tom Hurndall dies after being shot by an Israeli sniper in Gaza nine months earlier. Hurndall was trying to save Palestinian children from Israeli gunfire when he was shot in the head and left in a coma.
"What do I want from this life? I want to be proud of myself. When I die, I want to smile because of the things I have done, not cry for the things I haven't done. I will die with images of earthly heavens in my eyes" – Tom Hurndall

They take up so much of his face, I love them so much
There are posts on this site which use images and video from the Third German Antarctic Expedition (1938-1939), the most popular of these having over 22k notes.
Example:
The expedition was on the order of Hermann Göring and aimed to claim part of Antarctica for Nazi Germany, so that its fishing and whaling resources could be used by the Reich. Its logo featured a swastika and it was supported by the Nazi regime.
Additionally, members of this expedition were also members of the German armed forces during WW2. It is important to remember that Nazi Germany's war crimes were not only committed by the SS, but all members of the armed forces committed them and/or were complicit, whether they joined voluntarily or were conscripted.
Therefore, you hopefully do not want to reblog content about it without realising what it is. But how can you tell?
This is mostly concentrated on the posts of one user, but here are some things to look out for:
- anything tagged with "schwabenland" or "Third German Antarctic Expedition".
- anything mentioning that the expedition pictured took place between 1938-1939
- if there is no information, and you can't identify the expedition pictured, consider a reverse image search and/or not reblogging
- don't engage with these posts/blogs in future and if u see a beloved mutual reblogging one of these posts without realising, consider sending a DM to let them know.
