in light of israel's looming invasion on rafah, south africa implored the icj to call for the protection of palestinians with new preliminary orders. the icj denied this request, insisting that its january orders would be sufficient enough in ensuring the safety of people residing in rafah.

we have all seen how israel responded to the icj verdict earlier this month. they have all but intensified their attacks on palestinians, their favorite of whom seem to be children. this will end in a bloodbath. palestinians, already malnourished and living in literal tents, will be bombarded, they will be shot, they will be slaughtered. and when i say palestinians, a lot of them are actual toddlers. the videos coming out of this are proof enough.

at this point, it has been made amply clear that palestinians will never experience safety in their own homeland. a lot of the families in gaza are trying to raise funds to get out of it, because there's nowhere left to go.

there is nowhere left to go. if these people don't get the funds necessary to escape, they will die.

it's vital that you go to operation olive branch's spreadsheet, choose a family that resonates with you, and donate as much as you can to their gofundme. every last dollar counts. one dollar could be the difference between life and death for a family. please don't fall victim to the bystander effect. your contribution counts, however little it may be. and whether you're able to donate or not, spread this to as many people as you can. each second we stay silent is a second an entire family is brutally massacred.

Like Tori, Paps likes to change up his outfit from time to time. I like to imagine he uses the traditional robe outfit when he’s escorting souls that need a cuddle I mean look how cuddly and comfy he looks it’s like he’s wearing a sweater blanket ;A;

The bottom designs are inspired by a headcanon shared by me and @blackaerin, where Papyrus looks up to War Goddess Undyne a lot and adopts her views on death as being glorious when fighting for something you believe in. Sans doesn’t share their sentiment though So yes, those designs are based on the idea of a “noble death” – my friend will be uploading her designs for that sometime soon, yes 8D

BONUS:

^ Based on Anubis, Egyptian God of the Afterlife mwaha;; it’s kinda fitting because it’s mainly Paps who handles the maintenance and running of the Underworld B)

#so yeah hi i ADORE this au #papyrus is truly the cutest death god ive ever seen #also i see what u did there with this eye in that last pic #undertale #reapertale

funniest disney history facts i can think of atm

literally EVERYBODY thought the lion king was gonna flop and pocahontas would be their greatest movie ever made. people begged to ditch lion king and work on pocahontas.

the reason robin hood ends so abruptly is that there was an actual ending planned and storyboarded but the crew spent too long arguing about everyone’s fursonas to finish animating it

madam mim was way less comedic in the original book but because her character was too similar to maleficent (who was in their latest film at the time), the sword and the stone crew decided to differentiate her by making her fucking hilarious

when making a goofy movie, jeffrey katzenberg (studio chairman at the time) told bill farmer to give goofy “a normal voice.” farmer, who had been voicing goofy for eight years at that point, including in the goof troop show that a goofy movie was a sequel to, was very confused. after making an attempt they decided to scrap that note completely.

as of march 2023, farmer is still voicing goofy, and tony anselmo has been voicing donald since 1986. the 2017 reboot of ducktales, which was slated as “wanting to do for donald what goofy movie did for goofy,” featured both actors as those characters; they had also been doing the voices for the original ducktales and goof troop/goofy movie. all the times goofy and donald interact in the 2017 ducktales however, donald was voiced by guest star don cheadle as a joke

current voice of mickey mouse bret iwan has stated that he has attempted to play kingdom hearts and did not do well

disneyland’s current world of color halloween overlay features a plot that is basically “the disney villains simultaneously adopt a goth kid” and i love it

people will make jokes about “well math says that the beast would’ve been 11 when he was cursed” well that was actually the original intent, but a flashback scene of baby beast was scrapped because he looked “too much like eddie munster”

when disney sent a representative to pixar to check on toy story production, she was like “this is all great! what style of music are you thinking” and they were like “for what” “for the songs” “we uh. we weren’t gonna have. any songs” and she went dead silent and then went “i have to make a call” and left the room

saludos amigos and the three caballeros were made as ww2 propaganda. the government commissioned disney to make movies to make latin america like them so that they wouldnt side with the nazis and provide them an in to invade, and latin america really liked donald duck so

saludos amigos was apparently the first time many usamericans realized that latin american people were like. people. film historian alfred charles richard jr said that the film “did more to cement a community of interest between peoples of the americas in a few months than the state department had in fifty years”

while latin america generally liked both films, chilean cartoonist rené rios boettiger fucking hated the chilean segment of saludos amigos, seeing the main character of pedro the plane as a weakass bitch, so in response he created condorito, the most popular comic character in all of latin america

disney wanted to adapt ts eliot’s old possum’s book of practical cats. his widow adamantly refused, and then sold the rights to andrew lloyd webber bc he wanted to make it sexy and she said “tom would’ve liked that”

in case you haven’t seen the defunctland, walt disney wanted epcot to be a futuristic utopia where he was basically the dictator. then he died so they just made it another theme park

speaking of defunctland the first defunctland video was on disneyworld’s alien attraction and please watch it. please it’s so funny

after the huge failure of the black cauldron disney was going to shut down its animation department. the department tried to convince them to keep them alive by showing them the one scene they had finished for the next movie– the mouse burlesque from the great mouse detective. it worked

the only attraction the black cauldron ever got was in tokyo disneyland where they put a tour under cinderella’s castle where everyone had to escape the disney villains trying to kill them, only to end at the horned king and the cauldron, who would try to sacrifice them to satan. this tour was popular but was closed in the early 2000s as the tunnels didn’t fit earthquake regulations and i want it in disneyworld so bad

walt disney once referred to his unionizing workers, led by goofy’s creator art babbitt, as “commie sons of bitches,” and i want a mickey build-a-bear that calls me a commie son-of-a-bitch whenever i squeeze its paw

#the mouse burlesque scene saving disney's animation dept though #that's hilarious im dead goodbye #disney

do you think cicadas and wasps could be friends

Most animals have a fundamentally different experience of the world than we do, so the possibility of friendship between insects is a difficult thing to judge.

I think we can safely rule out friendship between cicadas and all the species of wasps that want to eat them. That still leaves tens of thousands of species of wasps that have no direct ecological relationship with cicadas, in what we will call the "kind of maybe plausible friendship zone". I think their friendship might go something like this:

wasp: *cleans wing with foot* cicada: wasp: *sniffs air with antenna* cicada: wasp: cicada: Å̷͉̕Å̷̳͝A̷̫̭̒Ả̷̢̺̓A̵̢͒̏A̴̛̬̿Ä̴̯A̵̰̓̆A̷͈̔ͅÄ̵̡́ͅA̷̟̬̓A̷̭̓Å̸͔ͅA̷̘̰͐A̶̦͝Ȁ̸̦̝A̸̻͆A̷̬̽͊A̸̠͊A̴̮̎A̷̗̬͒̋Ǎ̴̰̳Ǎ̶̛͇A̷̩̣͗͌A̴̮͘ͅÃ̴ͅÀ̵̫ wasp: big shake :0 !!! cicada: wasp: *checks underside of leaf for aphids* cicada: *falls off leaf*

#this reminds me of the very quiet cricket #where it was something like #cicada: GOOD AFTERNOOOOOOON!!!!!!!111 #cricket: o____o *no comment*
