massacre
Today is the first anniversary of the Gobelê massacre, wherein 18 refugees were killed by Turkey bombing them, one of several such massacres by Turkey's forces illegally invading Northern Syria for annexation as a "safe zone" of the areas which were safe for refugees until Turkey invaded.

Five activists detained after attending #jan25 revolution commemoration at Karama Party HQ.
Their whereabouts are still unknown.
The ceremony, organized by the leftist Karama and Popular Alliance parties to mark 8 years since Egypt's revolution, had been prohibited by security forces, who raided the event and only allowed attendees to exit after making copies of their ID cards.
just a psa to no one in particular, bc this keeps happening to me and it's really frustrating:
white people, please consider that when you correct the word usage or provide brusque corrections of someone from another culture, you're punching down.
pretend every other sentence that you said was interrupted by someone telling you that you're wrong. now. pretend this is continuous and unavoidable.
that's how it often is to be a minority in a white space. the fediverse is a white space.
The other evening, a friend from Corsica was telling me about planting trees using salvaged World War 2 land mines.
A lot of soil in Corsica is very compacted so, after the war, people would drill a hole into the ground and drop a little explosive into it. The blast would loosen a small patch of ground and also fertilise it — the explosives used potassium nitrate, which is great for fruit trees.
So there are orchards in Corsica which were planted with explosives, and I think that's cool. 🍎 💣
Toxic Masculinity - Words, Communication
Language and how we communicate has completely fostered this idea of Toxic Masculinity admittedly I can't remember my awesome examples, but it's this idea that it is wrong for guys to say these words or be called these words, but okay for a girl --- wait I REMEMBER --- one personal example as an Egg was the idea that I hated being called cute and it felt like belittling, whereas being called sexy was the goal.
