(not sure why the comparison was made to “Jewish people in the holocaust”????)
this humanitarian crisis is not the result of an earthquake or tsunami or some kind of uncontrollable phenomenon undefeatable by man – it is the direct result of the blockade of Yemen poised by Saudi Arabia and the United States, the entirety of the Arab league and allies like France, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Not only must Yemenis face famine, but also cholera outbreaks which cause thousands of new cases everyday. Saudi Arabia has been known to purposely target water, sanitation and health facilities which is worsening the outbreak and resulting in even more deaths (x)
Saudi Arabia is fighting to reassert the presidency of their favoured presidential candidate by starving & assaulting Yemen and is using weapons financed by its western allies and Gulf arab states to do so. (x)(x)(x)
The genocide of Yemeni people is occurring for the sake of assuring power and monopoly over the region for Saudi Arabia and the United States.
The USA and Saudi Arabia said nothing when Al-Qaeda took hold of Yemen, they said nothing when ISIS took hold of Yemen, they said nothing when monthly terrorist attacks would claim yemeni lives – but when the pro-U.S. and pro-Saudi Arabia president was removed from power, they carried out the worst assault in modern history of any nation and are starving millions to regain control of Yemen.
ADHD Culture is fully grasping a concept or finding a solution to an issue really super fast because your amazing racing brain immediately connected all the dots, and then becoming excruciatingly bored and frustrated when everyone around you is still not getting it (this goes double if you’ve already stepped in to try to explain it or if you’re not allowed to step in to explain it).
ADHD Culture is also not fully grasping a concept super fast, or even in an average amount of time, because your disastrous traitor brain lost focus on the explanation after approximately one (1) second and started thinking about something else, and then panicking because everyone around you seems to know what’s going on but you don’t.
The dichotomy of my life, exemplified perfectly.
Work training is FUCKING HELL for this exact reason.
Another shoutout to the demons and monsters that lived under your bed/in your closet and actually obeyed all the arbitrary rules you invented to keep yourself safe, like “if light is touching me at all I can’t be harmed” or “if I’m stepping on carpet I am untouchable” or “if I move my hand in a particular pattern while I walk, I’m off-limits during my voyage through the dark house to the bathroom”.
That was really considerate of them, especially given how biased in your favor those rules were.
Stop reducing native issues to “they had their land taken”.
Our sisters are still murdered and missing.
Our children go hungry and cold.
Our elders can’t afford health care.
Our parents suffer from untreated mental illness and have addictions because they self medicate.
And thats not even on the reservations. Thats just in farming communities of the Lumbee. And we are doing well by comparison to other groups.
Stop reducing us to stolen land and erasing our real struggles.
Natives have the highest suicide rates. Natives have the most unsafe school conditions. 75% of sex trafficking victims in Canada are First Nations. Natives are the most likely to be shot by police according to some studies and just as likely to be shot as black brothers and sisters according to others. Half of the homes on reservations in the US are legally deemed “uninhabitable” despite families and children living in them. Non native people can still commit crimes against us and not even be tried under native law, usually meaning not at all. Reservations flood often, they are stricken with drought. Most urban native kids carry the weight of being the only native their classmates and other townspeople will ever know. There are no college classes for us or about us. We are struggling, y’all. We have had our land, languages, and family ripped from us, it’s more than just history, it’s 500+ years of ongoing genocide.
I disagree with what this is saying because the context was a revolution. The purpose was to cripple Britain’s control of the colonies. I believe it was totally justafiable
No the point of this post is that property destruction in a protest IS totally justifiable
Customer (calling from Ireland): “Yes hello, I would like to -”
Sheep in the background: *gentle baa*

Sheep: *slightly more insistent baa*

Sheep: *VERY LOUD ACCUSATORY BAA*
Customer:“Arnulf! Please be quiet, I am on the phone! … Sorry, I sincerely apologize on behalf of Arnulf.”
me: “I love and forgive him.”
Customer: “Don’t, he doesn’t deserve it. Anyway, I’m calling about -”
Arnulf: *small, very self-satisfied baa*
I once took my kids to a local farm and we found a lil goat with its horns stuck in a fence, just sitting there kinda mournfully on the grass. We tried to help it get free but it was stuck tight. We petted it for a while and fed it some grass (as it had lawnmowered a circle around itself as far as it could reach), and then went back to the ticket office to tell them it needed help, but before I’d said more than: “There’s a goat-” the guy cut me off with a weary wave and said, “Yeah, we know. Stuck in the fence. That’s Brenda. She can get herself out whenever she wants. She just likes the attention.”
And my cousin, who’s like 12 is really sick and she’s been in bed for the past few days. She was able to come downstairs for some juice (cuz she’s dehydrated af lol I could see it) and she had on some sleeping shorts and a lil tank top. Which is normal for sleeping. And my other aunt’s opens the black hole that is her mouth and says “you need to put clothes on, my husband is here!”
So I was like “why is your husband looking at a twelve year old like that in the first place? 🤔 is there something we need to be worried about?”
