REST IN PEACE, HENRY RONO
We are all born onto this spinning orb, traveling at 1000 mph at the equator, with the pack of previously born moving through on the inside already up to speed. There are no head starts, my friends; we’re all coming from behind, in one fashion or another. So the only thing to do is to pick yourself up, slime yourself off, and get on with the chase. Perhaps nobody got on with the chase any more…

I know not enough people will hear this but I'm serious we people living near Paris are absolutely furious about the Olympics and the way they're being handled.
Students are LITERALLY getting kicked out for athletes and tourists. (It's okay, they're being rewarded with two tickets 👍🏻)
Our trains (that already do not work well at all) are planned to be completely full and impossible for us LOCALS and people who WORK to use.
Our government is asking us to take days off or work from home?? Do these people know we can't all- do that??
They booked entire hotels who therefore refused hundreds of clients for the summer, then cancelled. Yes just cancelled. Not giving a shit about how the hotels would- survive.
They're forcing homeless people out of Paris to offer clean streets for tourists.
And of course the horrific budget they're using for this international sports event that not everybody can afford to go to could help us so much. We're not happy guys.

ID: I need non French ppl to boycott Paris Olympics 2024. The French government evicted students from their accommodations and requisitioned several refugees/immigrants/homeless shelters. Immigrants (most of them being irregulars) died on construction sites for the Olympics.
And they are planning on scamming y’all by making everything more expensive including Paris’ public transports, and trust me, the price won’t be worth the service. End ID.

ID: mind you that France didn’t even help its athletes to prepare for the JO, French athletes who wears hijabs are BANNED to wear it during the JO. please BOYCOTT IT. End ID.

The SI Curse Hits The Pool
Some people are upset when they win silver. Boo-hoo you say; ‘so sad you got silver’. At the Olympics most swimmers are happy to have any colour of medal and certainly, if you had only one shot at an Olympic medal, then, like most everyone, you’d be happy to take something home heavier than paper. But if you were told you are a superstar, destined for greatness, the next Mark Spitz, silver would…

honestly when people complain about things like boycotting the oscars, grammys, superbowl, eurovision etc. and say that it's "too much" to expect people to boycott those events, i always automatically think of the 1936 olympics happening in nazi germany. how everyone was just going about the event as usual. in hindsight every normal person can see how messed up that is, everyone would ask themselves "how could all those people possibly sit there and act as if everything is normal?". i wonder if people will one day look back on all the big american and european events happening during the gaza genocide and wonder how anyone could have just sat there and enjoyed them
I think about this all of the time. I KNOW people will look back on this genocide and be in total shock of how so many people continued on like normal, despite how much power we could have if we all stood together instead of trying to ignore Israel killing thousands of people each month.

Anyway good job to everyone for completely forgetting somehow to boycott the World Cup. The fuck happened to that? Everyone who swore up and down they were disgusted with the treatment of both LGBT people in Qatar and the hellish conditions migrant workers endured during prep suddenly did not seem to care the minute their favorite team was on TV. Nice job everybody.

Total Solar Eclipse in Aries: Predictions
Tumblr media
✰ my masterlist This eclipse season is highlighting themes of forgiveness, both towards others and towards ourselves. It's time to turn a new leaf, and to take responsibility for mistakes made within the past. Doing this will allow a particular area within your life to transform. In October 2023 it may have felt like you lost something. Whether that was a friend group, a career opportunity, or a romantic relationship depends on your chart. However, because this solar eclipse is conjuncting the North Node, it will feel as though you have gained something. Issues from October 2023 will find a resolution.
Tumblr media
General predictions:
ꕥ Sudden/unexpected military action.
ꕥ The development and discovery of new weapons. (Specifically with bombs and explosives.)
ꕥ Veterans speaking out against the country they once served.
ꕥ World leaders unexpectedly stepping down from their positions.
- Many world leaders are going to be dealing with extremely poor health which will “eclipse’ their power.
ꕥ It's going be a hot summer, and the effects of climate change will become all the more obvious.
ꕥ Bad wildfire season.
ꕥ An increase in self-immolation as a form of protest.
ꕥ An increase in reckless driving, speeding, and road rage.
ꕥ An increase in violence against women, and people who are non-binary or transgender .
ꕥ Issues regarding gender will become even more polarizing.
- Women across the world will continue to assert their independence and will fight back against outdated standards.
- Women will become more willing to embrace the unknown. Many women will fully commit to the idea of never getting married or having children during this time frame, and they will do so with enthusiasm.
- Some women will choose not to get married or have children as a form of protest
ꕥ An increase in narcissistic behavior, as well as an increase in being able to recognize narcissistic behavior.
ꕥ Celebrities responding to public criticism with arrogance will witness a downfall.
ꕥ The Summer Olympics will be especially entertaining this year. This event will be explosive and dramatic. Some athletes will gain a significant amount of fame during this event.
ꕥ LOTS of new music. Artists are going to be pushing the boundaries of genres. Audiences are craving something completely new.
ꕥ People are DONE living in fear. This will result in widespread, collective action that will effectively make big changes. More protests, more boycotts, more strikes, more uprisings.
