tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"
motaz saying in his video (x) that he can no longer share aerial footage of the destruction because Israel killed his friend who operated the drone camera—because they killed all of the journalists who had drones and stole their drones—is so utterly gut wrenching.
he's tired. he looks exhausted. but still he talks about rebuilding when the war ends, even if it will take years to recover from the devastation. what I'm trying to say is that we cannot lose hope for an end to this destruction
Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intend to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.
hobby crafts and great and everyone should get into a hobby craft, but I really really really really need people to do at least a little bit of research into what they’re interested in and learn important things such as that fact that polymer clay, air-dry clay, and resin are NOT food safe. yes that includes clay that’s been coated in a clear coat like mod podge (the dishwasher safe mod podge is not food safe)
the reason that some* ceramics are food safe is because glazes melt into essentially a thin layer of glass on the surface, and the clay is heated to a temperature that vitrifies it. and I say some because not all ceramics/glazes/firing temps are food safe, and that’s a whole other deep dive of research for people who get into ceramics. but the point is that most people can’t do that at home, so they look into non-ceramic materials and assume that’s a cheaper and easier way to make food-safe items, when really what’s going to happen is all these materials will leach into your food, especially with heat applied
also can resin creators wear proper PPE with gloves and respirator, I am begging you, that shit is toxic to touch and inhale
The red crescent operative shared the last piece of communication they had with Hind, after her 15 year old sister [layan] was killed. The operative said they remained on call for three hours with Hind while they sent a team to rescue her. Then they lost all means of communication with Hind, and the team sent. It's been more than 70 hours. These are 6 year old Hind's last words before we lost connection. Her fate and the team remains unknown. Raise the Hashtag on every platform: Where is Hind?
Remember that Hind was in a car with other 5 members of her family, one of which her sister, layan who called the red crescent pleading for help, saying their car is surrounded by Israeli tanks. Layan got shot and killed while on call. The whole family has been killed except for little Hind, please help any way you can. Imagine being 6 years old, stuck in a vehicle with the bodies of your dead family, surrounded by military tanks shooting. Where is Hind? What happened to the rescue team?
