In the one hundred fifty days after October 7, Israel killed thirty-one thousand Palestinians, injured seventy-two thousand, displaced 1.7 million, and razed or damaged more than half of Gaza’s buildings. Joe Biden sent over one hundred weapons shipments to Israel during the same stretch. In a recent classified briefing, US officials told members of Congress that the Biden administration approved and delivered more than one hundred separate weapons sales to Israel in the one hundred fifty days after October 7, “amounting to thousands of precision-guided munitions, small diameter bombs, bunker busters, small arms and other lethal aid,” the Washington Post reported on Wednesday. That works out to one new arms deal every thirty-six hours, on average.
The lefts descent into obsession with identity politics means all these boys get from these spaces is essentially being told they're inherently monstrous or will grow up to be so.
12 year old boys are not evil. They're children. And they're susceptible to manipulation from these fucks on the right who have sadly correctly identified that large swathes of the left will ignore and shun them. People turn to extremist factions when they feel ignored and dehumanised.
A 12 year old boy online isn't going to be able to read the nuances in your uber ironic but not really actually ironic "all white men are inherently trash" hot takes. They're going to take that at face value because they're 12 and that's what 12 year olds do. And they're going to feel angry, rejected and judged by your words. And then fucks like Andrew Tate get to swoop in and tell them that you're wrong and start the ball rolling on that indoctrination.
If you're an adult leftist and you honestly think teenage boys possess the wherewithal to purposefully follow dangerous Misogynists like Andrew Tate in order to "preserve their own privilege long term" then I'm sorry to say you're too far gone and I'd suggest logging off and actually trying to have a conversation with a kid who is vulnerable to the grooming of these uber misogynists and treat them as a human being instead of a reflection of an identity you've boxed them into.
You may tick more diversity boxes but you are still the adult. Start acting like it.
A very colourful couatl-aasimar sorcerer who’s the court mascot magician to an eccentric queen. People come from all over to see how pretty he is hear his wisdom.
So Babybird, aka Birdy, is a half-aasimar half-tiefling (tiefling variant statswise) shepherd druid who has his reincarnated dad and mum as his should angel and demon. He is basically on an adventure to grow a spine and make his own life decisions since his parents and the fey have just controlled his life up till now.
The party is investigating some mysterious thefts of gold, which became personal when the thief stole the rock candy fake gems we were hauling to blend in with merchants.
Well while investigating Birdy stops to make lunch. He fails miserably. He tries to collect planta and they literally slither away from him. The most he can collect is a single mouse and some bark.
Now this was clearly not normal, but this is Birdy and Birdy is a druid. Birdy drops the mouse in an unheated pot, sit down, covers his face and starts crying, thinking nature hates him for reason. The other two party members, Tizzit the pixie and his adoptive child Onyx, basically make fun of him and to rub it in worse Onyx manages to collect some plants no problem.
A few hours later back in town Birdy just begs fey gods for forgiveness for whatever it is he’s done, which he mistakes his mum and dad patting him on the back as their forgiveness. He proceeds to make the best buckwheat soup the town has had because “buckwheat can’t run away from him.”
The orc chef who is terrible at his job congratz him and says one day Birdy might even be as good as him. Birdy starts crying about how “everything he tries to cook runs away.”
The orc thinks he has mixed up plants and animals. Birdy explains how he tried to collect mint and it literally up and walked away from him. Not exactly knowing what to say to that Birdy is left to cry over how nature hates him.
Sketched an angel Aasimar while trying to draw something else. His wings have almost no muscles in them so they usually just hang like a cape until he uses radiant soul.
it's definitely my predisposition to extreme frugality+redneck engineering, but i'm now obsessed with creating things literally without buying Anything. no supplies no tools no nothing, only the stuff you can just find outside, like Plants, Sticks, and Rocks.
I'm making textiles with nothing but foraged plant materials using no tools except sticks. Nature allows you to do this! There's no rules! I mean okay well maybe there might be some rules sometimes but they're just weak human rules! The plants themselves? They're like "Why sure! You can make yarn with nothing but fibers from the dead stem I don't need anymore, a couple sticks from that tree over there, and your own body and mind! Why not?"
Plants like to give us gifts! And nobody has the power to stop them!
if you give “stupid” characters rural/southern accents i don’t like you and if you give “smart” characters rural/southern accents but it’s a punchline i don’t like you even more
the class war is not some hypothetical future event. class war is being waged right now, by the ruling class, against you, every single day of your life. the question is what you're going to do to fight back.
Guys, Elon released his stupid AI on Twitter and the first thing his idiot devotees did was ask it if trans women are really women and they are losing it over getting the correct answer back.
