#i am nor speaking

[quatregats]

This quote is so funny but also like that is literally the most efficient summary of the difference between these books sdhfjhds

#i can't speak to bernard cornwell i have not read sharpe nor am i planning to (this is from his wikipedia page though lol) #but it certainly is true of the difference between the aubreyad and hornblower #anyways to each their own. this is the best introduction to the boat book fandom though #pick your poison shdjfhsdkf #perce rambles #aubreyad #hornblower #(also to be clear. he was so real for saying this. as he is for literally everything he said sdfhsjkdf)

the level at which people are misusing the term "Never Again" in the far left absolutely infuriates me.

"Never Again" doesn't refer to the idea of no more genocides -- unfortunately people are evil and corrupt and seek scapegoats and destruction, there were genocides in the years following the Holocaust, there were genocides 10 years ago, there are multiple genocides going on as we speak

"Never Again" means we as Jews will pay attention to the warning signs, will not mindlessly allow antisemitism to fester and take over our communities, we will fight back. it means we will be proud. it means we will not let you hate us without a word of refusal.

"Never Again" is a warning for us, it is a reminder that what happened then can happen now -- is happening now. The Far Left doesn't get to use it against us. You don't get to turn our tragedies into hate-speech and antisemitic rhetoric.

#abby speaks #that fucking NYT article made me rage so much #needed to get this out #if this somehow makes you pissed at me go ahead the unfollow button is right there #I have always said that Palestinians deserve a state and I have always believed that Israel has a right to exist #the lack of knowledge at these “protests” shocks me - people don't know which river or which sea; they don't know about the hostages #free gaza from hamas #we are allowed to mourn the “protests” started before we'd even had a chance to. #I will never ever forgive or forget the people that have made mourning still feel impossible #I am not about to sit here and say that the Israeli government is blameless #however if you didn't know that 1000s of Israeli have spent the past year protesting against Netenyahu's right wing government shut up #we need actual solutions; neither Israelis nor Palestinians are going anywhere #and you guys need to start calling out the antisemitism in your movement #I have my doubts on that actually happening and you'll never see me donate to a lot of these causes again #the goy left has lost my respect and my trust and now it only has my side-eye #sorry for the rant in the tags it's been an exhausting few months

Professors are so funny. "How has this book I made you read changed you fundamentally as a person?"

Lol. My dude. I will write this report and then never think of it again.

#I was already a kind person who cared about the environment #I didn't need some guys published diary to make me so #Which is not to say that I do not enjoy reading #Nor that I think no book could have an impact on me #Or even that this particular book couldn't have an impact on others #But like... #The book report prompt is how did it change me as a person #And in all honesty I am the same person as I was #Very Tired #T1A Speaks

Wishing everyone who posts pictures of mutilated and fucking dead children from the attack on Gaza a very i hope you fucking die.

Edit: after about 24 hrs, it seems this problem has been resolved. Please exercise caution as this could happen again but guest and pro Palestinian suggested videos and gore videos that were posted in pro Palestinian tags have been removed after mass reports.

WARNING!! THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!

Zionists and Trolls are posting copious amounts of gore and mutilated bodies from the attacks on gaza on TikTok!!!

It is uncensored gore of children and adults and if you don't see a problem with this blatant disrespect of the dead, don't fucking follow me!

These videos are not being published with any warnings and are not being published with the consent or in support of Palestinians! They are being posted to horrify people and silence them!

If you are triggered by gore or multilation, DO NOT GO ON TIKTOK RIGHT NOW!! There are hundreds of videos being mass uploaded and they are on people's fyps being tagged to intentionally show up in the feeds of people who support Palestine!!

Again DO NOT GO ON TIKTOK RIGHT NOW.

If you choose to, you take a risk on seeing these videos, the fyp is turning into LiveLeak with bodies being shown with zero blocking out, blurring or sheets to cover them. If you come across these videos, make sure you report them if you are mentally capable of doing so.

Please reblog this so others can be warned.

#clover speaks #i just came across multiple videos and despite me and others reporting them nothing is happening #if you even breathe a whisper of calling me antisemitic or saying im turning away from the reality of genocide #i am going to strangle you with my native American and native canadian hands #showing people gore will not stop genocide #it will trigger them and make them abandon things #i used to use liveleak and equally upsetting things to self harm and just because its important people know how bad it truely is #dose not excuse disrespecting the bodies of these children by posting them nor triggering and upsetting others unnecessarily #fuck gore posters #i wanna tag other big blogs rn but i dont wanna trigger anybody #so im not going to #but please reblog this so others know #i got 3 videos in an hour just scrolling my fyp and that's concerning #all were tagged as free palastine or anti isreal or other tags realted to palastinian freedom

how many languages do you speak? :o

That's a very cruel question to ask a multilingual person, I have never spoken a language in my life

#okay to reblog #for my fellow multilinguals <3 #I'm from the Netherlands and Dutch is my mother tongue #I'm close to fluent in English #my French is an embarrassment. meaning I can understand enough to get by and to correct google translate but can hardly speak it #my German is appalling. meaning I can read it okay because it is similar to Dutch but cannot understand it when spoken nor speak it #and I /wish/ I spoke papiamentu but I never learned more than a few words #beneath-thestyx #for the record I don't mind the question at all ^^ (but I /am/ deeply embarrassed about my french)

Ok but what if another turning point for the world power dynamic was the Suez Crisis of 1956. France and England were adamant that they control the canal while the US and USSR were (surprisingly) collaborative in their demand for a cease-fire in the region. I can just imagine Alfred storming into a meeting room with a storm in his eyes yelling at these two raggedy fucks to quit their dumb-ass behaviour. Giving them an eloquent lecture in front of the world. The room full of nations, still recovering from all the events of recent years, going quiet while both Arthur and Francois (for probably not the first time) start reevaluating their roles in the evolving global landscape.

Arthur would likely have felt a mix of anger, embarrassment, and surprise. He had grown accustomed to being an influential world power, and being confronted so forcefully by Alfred, especially as his son, would have challenged his sense of authority and superiority. Despite his pride, Arthur would also have acknowledged a sense of resignation, knowing deep down that the world was changing and that his empire's dominance was waning.

Arthur has a complex relationship with his children, and Alfred holds a special place in his heart as his favorite child (I'm sorry but it's true). He might recognize Alfred's achievements as a reflection of his own influence and guidance, feeling a slight mixture of satisfaction and pride in seeing his protege step into a position of power. Seeing the United States, a former colony, rise to prominence and challenge the established powers could evoke a sense of pride in Arthur as he recognizes the legacy of British influence and ideals that have shaped the nation.

Arthur does recognize the accomplishments of his "wayward son" to a degree. (what a loser)

Francois would definitely feel anger. Even stronger than Arthur, I think. The failure and backlash of the crisis would have strongly wounded his pride. He would display a certain stubbornness and reluctance to accept the changing dynamics of power, more so than Arthur. His pride and desire to assert France's influence might have led him to defend his nation's actions during the Suez Crisis, even in the face of mounting criticism and geopolitical realities. (huge loser)

The Suez Crisis, a focal point of tension, becoming a catalyst for transformation, shaping the dynamics of power and diplomacy for generations to come. In that meeting room, the world witnessed the birth of a new era, where old empires bowed to the demands of a changing world.

#when talking about any historical even i try to do it respectfuly and as educated as i can be #ofc i am but a simple slav asshole who is very fond of learning historx and this just seemed like such a power move #also i dont really want to mention egypt here i know nothing about that character nor do i wish ot make an egypt oc with my lack of knowled #i just thought itd be interesting to touch on the dynamic of the failing old empires and the shining new boy on the block #unrelated to hetalia the event was horrible and unfair #historical hetalia #hetalia #hws england #hws france #hws america #meli speaks #my headcanons
