#9/11 anniversary
Text
It’s unacceptable to use today as an excuse to say derogatory things about Muslims 
Remember those that died. Remember all the officers, firefighters, EMT’s/paramedics. Don’t spread hate

Hello there, today is a sad day. As this happened 22 years ago on this day, September 11th, 2001, New York City went on their daily day as usual but then everything changed at 8:46 a.m. want a plane crash? I won the twin towers of the World trade Center, then another plane crash to the second. Then the whole tower crumble and thousands lost their lives, It was such a tragic day
Tumblr media
So let us take the time to remember those who list their lives to save other people and those who survived and mourn those who perish and died on this horrible event

Heavy Weather
(Out of the Blue)
partly sunny, mostly cloudy
that was yesterday, was
history that's never fully
distilled until it goes
down smooth and easy;
bitter, it's still bitter
to taste and taste and never
feel the buzz, only
the aftermath, hangover
from a brutal day in September
so fucked up, we
all remember
pain that rendered us numb
forced us to succumb
to one another, seeking
comfort and consolation
amidst the ashes
smoke and pain and devastation
direct attack on our nation
unimaginable loss that still
lingers, much to our consternation
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

All who we lost are never gone. We feel your presence. We remember your faces and smiles and lives. Today, we honor you and say your name aloud.

I'm am gonna say a hot take that might get me canceled but whatever.
Hating the fallout and what it did to millions of people in Iraq as well as other Middle Eastern countries and wanting the government and overpatriotic nutjobs to burn in hell AND thinking that making memes and jokes about 9/11 is fucking cruel to survivors and family of the victims who are VERY MUCH STILL AROUND AND MOST CAN PLAINLY SEE THESE THINGS are in fact options that coexist because your aggression should be directed at the people that started the fucking war and enabled a genocide assholes.
Seriously, what did 9/11s victims do to you besides have their deaths and suffering used as propaganda to cause more death and suffering. I doubt most of them would've have wanted that.

Zito @_Zeets Sept 11 posted:
The public mourning during 9/11 is even more curious after the last few years where thousands of people died each day and instead of that being a great tragedy as well, there were demands to go back to work and to learn to live with that level of death.
But tragedy here only seems to matter if it’s politically useful for some greater national/international goal, because 9/11 led to wars and wholesale changes to American life, while we couldn’t even get proper ventilation in classrooms and restaurants.
heard @heard305 Sep 11, Replying to @_Zeets: we love a gross oversimplification
@_Zeets Sep 11, Replying to @heard305: What would you like clarification on?
@heard305 Sep 11, Replying to @_Zeets: I don’t want clarification, i want you to flesh out this equivalence you’re drawing between a morally black and white issue, a terrorist attack, and the most morally complex crisis this country has ever dealt with.
Richard Barrett @yoshxl Sep 11, Replying to @_Zeets and @Katchin05: False equivalence. Both are tragic. Only one happened violently under terror. One is a silent killer, one was loud and obnoxious.
jobu topacky wardrobe enthusiast @Katchin05 Sep 11, Replying to @yoshxl and @_Zeets: I’m not sure how it matters. We are being asked to never forget a domestic tragedy and loss of life while ignoring an ongoing one. COVID deaths weren’t silent at all.

Sixty years ago, two teachers walked into a junkyard in search of a student. What they found was a strange police box, and an even stranger old man.
Little did they know is that the old man would show them all the amazing and all the terrifying parts of the universe, all the wonders that were otherwise unknown to them. Travels with Marco Polo, living like the Romans did, stopping the Daleks from invading Earth.
But in the eyes of the old man, they showed him a part of humanity he was previously indifferent towards. All the inherent goodness, determination and love within it.
Although the teachers and student eventually left, the old man marched on through a variety of forms; the hobo, the dandy, the mad man with a box.
But one thing remained the same; his love of adventure, and his undying respect for humanity.
Happy birthday, Doctor Who. ❤️🔷

September 11
Hey Friends! I know this is kind of a random thing to post about, but I felt like I should.
If you don't know, today is September 11th, the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in America on September 11, 2001. Nearly 3,000 people died just in the attacks, with hundreds of others sick and dead because of the amount of toxic air and debris released into lower Manhattan after the crashes.
Tumblr media
The World Trade Center's North building was hit first, followed by the south building, then the Pentagon, then a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. They were hit by planes piloted by members of al-Qaeda, an Islamic extremist terrorist group formed by Osama bin Laden, along with some others.
Tumblr media
Because this group couldn't defeat America military-wise, they instead set their sights on symbols and iconic American monuments. Members hijacked these four flights to attack these various targets representing America's power.
There was only one plane that didn't land were it was meant to. This plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. We aren't sure were it was meant to go, but there's a theory that it was meant to land on the Capitol building because it is a sign of America's Legislative power. Even though we don't know for sure where this plane was meant for, what's important is that it didn't. Because of the bravery of the people on that flight who fought back against the hijackers, many lives were saved. Unfortunately, everyone on that flight died.
Other people who should absolutely be mentioned are the First Responders involved. During the attacks, after the attacks, and everywhere in between, First Responders came from all over America to help the victims of these attacks.
Tumblr media
We owe a lot to the dedicated men and women who worked day and night to save hundreds of lives.
It's important to say that even though the attacks were committed by Islamic extremists, NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE AT FAULT. The people who attacked were extremists, who, like their name suggests, have extreme views. This is, in my opinion, the other side of the tragedy surrounding 9/11. After the attacks, people were very hateful towards Muslims and Muslim-Americans in general, not usually making any distinction between neighbors and friends and the people who actually attacked America.
Tumblr media
All in all, 9/11 was tragedy on many levels. There's lots of others things to be said and aspects I haven't covered. If you want, you can check out the websites/resources linked below to read more. If you're a 9/11 victim or the family of one, I offer my condolences and hope that you're able to feel hope even today, on the anniversary of this tragedy. If there's something I left out, or something I said wrong, I'm really sorry. I don't want to offend someone by this, only commemorate and remember this day for what it is.
If you want to learn more about 9/11, I would suggest---
1. CNN10; they released a video today with some good information, mostly about the 9/11 memorial in New York.
2. The 9/11 Memorial website; there's a lot of information including ways to get connected/help with the efforts to help people learn about 9/11.
3. Ground Zero by Alan Gratz; if you didn't know Alan Gratz is a writer who writes really deep, meaningful, and slightly gore-y books about tragedies. The books are gore-y for a reason, they really demonstrate the true tragedy and this book made me cry like five different times throughout reading it. It's on Libby and a bunch of other reading websites and local libraries if you want to read it. I highly recommend it. -> (TW: blood, fire, angst, wounds, death, etc. If you're under 13, I suggest asking a parent to read this with you)
4. The National Archives; I haven't read through this entire website because it's super massive, but if you look at the side of the page there's a place that says 'Contents' and there's a ton of resources there too.
