Aaron Bushnell's final social media post before his self-immolation.

#aaron bushnell #palestine

“My name is Aaron Bushnell. I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine.”

—Aaron Bushnell

“The act of an American soldier sacrificing himself for Palestine is the highest sacrifice […] a poignant message to the American administration to stop its involvement in the aggression.”

—PFLP Central Media Dept.

#free palestine #aaron bushnell #has done more for palestine than any leader of both the western and arab worlds #he got his mandatory orders in november from his air force commander to deploy to israel #and instead he chose to burn himself to death #his bravery cannot be understated #braver than any other member of the military from any country which is aiding israel in its genocide #braver than any government official who is complicit in this genocide #and most importantly #braver than any zionist

and while i’m here… also wishing anyone reading this a very free palestine day!

it’s free palestine today. it’s free palestine tomorrow. it’s free palestine until palestine is free

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

[!!!] "What Kind of Future" by Woozi has been released on various streaming platforms

Woozi first performed this song during Seventeen's Ideal Cut concert in 2018. He said he only planned to perform this song once, and that he would never release it, because it was personal and meant a lot to him. Woozi released it today, on Moonbin's birthday, as it was a song Moonbin loved and always asked Woozi when it would be released.

#lee jihoon #he kept his promise #and answered his own question from his past self #what kind of future? #''i will never forget your smile filled with love #in any future'' #i wish moonbin could be here to see all the love his family and friends hold in their hearts for him #빈아 생일 축하해요 #고생했어요 정말

I still firmly believe that Tatiana Maslany should have won more awards for her work in Orphan Black, she is literally like half of the cast and yet each character she plays is distinct and different enough to tell when one is pretending to be another and so on and so forth

You could literally believe that each character is played by different actors if it weren't for the fact that they all have the same face and you wouldn't be able to find that many actors who look alike

#tatiana maslany #ob #not this showing up on my dash the day after i had a mini ob spiral lmao #acting wasn’t real until tmas invented it in orphan black #she is the motherfucking blueprint #first post on my blog in 2024 for tmas as she deserves

Me: *reading a post that makes the joke “Peeta dropped the baby bomb, Gale drops bombs on babies”* haha good one

Also me: you’re missing the point! You’re missing the point! YOURE MISSING THE POINT! He grew up starving. His best friend almost died of hunger. Most of his people live in poverty. He watched children die in a bloodbath every year for the capital’s entertainment. The girl he loved went into the games. Was tortured by the capitol. His district was bombed out of existence. Nearly everyone he knew was killed. Their only crime was being fed up of being hungry and oppressed and sharing the same district as Katniss. All those innocent people. Murdered. He had to take refuge in a district that was bombed out of existence and forced to live underground. Of course he joined the war effort. Of course he designed unethical bombs and battle tactics. He wanted revenge. He wanted the capitol to have a taste of their own medicine. He wanted the rebellion to succeed. And tell me you could live through what he did, and that no part of you would be screaming for Justice and vengeance. Gale is you. You are Gale. He represents a part of feelings and actions that reside within us, even if you don’t act on it.

“But he killed prim!” Exactly! Gale loved prim. She was a second family to her. He looked after Katniss’ family. He saved them from the district 12 bombings. He loved her. He never would’ve put her in danger. He never would’ve put in order for a bombing if it would kill Prim. But coin would. And did. She took what was meant to be a tool of Gale’s righteous revenge for all the suffering he and his people suffered through, only for someone in power to take it and use it to kill someone he loved.

There’s some many lessons to take. We can’t control the things we create. War spares no one. Even justifiable rage and actions can end up rebounding and hurting those you love instead of your targets.

“He drops bombs on babies” is too simplistic of a takeaway and does a disservice to the story and Gale.

that comment about how you should not borrow grief from the future has saved me multiple times from spiraling into an inescapable state of anxiety. like every time i find myself thinking about how something in the future could go wrong i remember that comment and i think to myself: well i never know, it might get better. it might not even happen the way i think it will and if it does happen and it is sad and bad ill be sad about it then, when it happens. and it’s somehow soo freeing

#dw #fourteenth doctor #fifteenth doctor #it’s the metaphor!!! #the you of the present being able to comfort your younger self in all the ways you wish you'd had someone there to comfort you #how you’re the only person who truly knows what you’ve been through and allowing your younger self that space to grieve and to heal #to forgive yourself for simply doing what you had to just to survive #saying it’s okay and i’ve got you and i’m here #that sigh donna lets out #the lil kiss 15 places so gently on 14’s forehead and the little smile 🥺

[thewafflewhat]

I've never been so happy in my life.

#dw #donna noble #fourteenth doctor #the 2nd gif 😭 #they both get their happy ending #together 😭😭😭 #he turned her down for christmas dinner the first time they met #but now he gets to go to as many family dinners with her for as long as he wants to #also i think i can officially say it now #these 3 specials have officially surpassed turn left for me when it comes to showcasing catherine tate’s acting talent #she was absolutely incredible #david too #the little subtleties he brings to 14 compared to his run as 10 #you really buy the fact that he did live as 11 and 12 and 13 #14 expresses his emotions a lot more than 10 who just repressed everything #look at him smiling with tears in his eyes!!!!!!! #he's finally just happy #he’s home 😭

[thewafflewhat]

no but you do not understand we collectively spent YEARS heartbroken over donna! and doctor never ever got over losing her! and now they are together, and they have chosen each other for family, and donna's family has warmth enough for him, and they are happy and having dinners, and 14th is casually sneaking his niece away on adventure while making sure not to tell donna because she would obliterate him and IT'S OKAY THEY'RE CHOSEN SIBLINGS IT'S WHAT THEY FUCKING DO.

listen. LISTEN.

donna's every day was taken away from her.

the doctor has been running every day ever since.

and now they get to spend time together. not a brief trip in a tardis. not a reunion before parting forever. but every. day. every day, one after the other. and they are finally home.

#dw #fourteenth doctor #donna noble #donna’s every day was taken from her and the doctor has been running every day since!!! #and now they get to spend every day together #!!!!!!!!!!! #i’m very not okay #something inside me definitely healed last night
