A History of the Democratic Republic of Congo… From IG - @redstreamnet — Did you know that the CIA once orchestrated the execution of Patrice Lumumba by a firing squad? On the 17th of January, 1961, Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Congo, was executed by a firing squad following assassination plots concocted by the US and Belgian governments. Lumumba’s anti-imperialism and his vision of a united Congo made him an adversary of both Belgium and US imperialism. Although the CIA ordered his assassination, they weren’t able to carry it out themselves. Instead, Washington and Brussels secretly funnelled cash and aid to rival politicians who organized a coup and arrested Lumumba. He was then beaten, tortured, and killed. #BlackHistory #PanAfrican #AfricanHistory #AntiColonialism
Imagine you wake up tomorrow and you realize you (and everyone else in the world) can turn into an animal (And back into a human) at will.
Please go to this link to see what animal it will be for you:
(this is random, and yes, you only get one, no redos)
With this in mind, please reply to the following questions as truthfully as possible based on your current situation. (Not an ideal fantasy one.)
guys i actually beg of you to not let palestine become an unpleasant flashback, a transient tumblr trend, a hasbeen subject that just faded away. as an arab—and specifically iraqi—girl, i know what it feels like to have family displaced all over the world as a result of western imperialism. i know what it feels like to not be able to step foot into your homeland because it’s no longer safe. as an american iraqi, raised in the us and insulated from my roots, it wasn’t until last summer that i was able to visit iraq for the first time, and even then my family was worried for my safety—in my own blood country. although nothing like what palestinians are experiencing right now, it might be the tiniest semblance of what it feels like to watch your country disintegrate in front of you.
and this is a universal arab experience. i volunteer weekly at a refugee center that serves middle eastern refugees, and every day i see the longing in their eyes when they speak of where they hail from. it’s safe to say that we will be getting a wave of palestinian refugees very soon: just another generation of arabs who can’t inhabit their own country.
arab culture is so rich, so profound, so beautiful. i am tired of being told by the world—through literal genocide—that it doesn’t mean anything. please never let this be forgotten. free palestine. free palestine. free palestine.
i know its already been said more eloquently but it really is insane that boeing can just...have a whistleblower executed mid-trial. its not gonna be in the news cycle, no one's gonna bother reporting on it - much less accusing them in a formal manner of killing him - in a few months no one's gonna remember it and everyone's gonna keep flying on their planes
DICK GRAYSON. USED MANIFESTATION TO ACHIEVE HIS JUICY BOOTY
not actually its just cause of his work out routine but nobody told him
Let me finish
anyway
He found out what manifestation was when he was younger and still Robin and he saw like a sign of some crazy ass pyshic lady (it was bs) but he was like whats manifestation?? and he looked it up and he was like WOAH i wanna do that :D
so then he started doing it and like as a joke added on the big butt part (originally it was just "I am a good Robin. I'm a good kid" and shit) and one time Alfred saw him doing it one night and was like "Oh thats cute wait what-"
and then Alfred told Bruce and bruce was like "uh...no harm no foul." and just didn't do anything
but then Dick got a fat ass
and was a good Robin
And everyone sees him as a good kid
So he's like This shit is real
So he just tells everyone its real and y'know the normal people are like "No tf its not." but there are some PEOPLE. SOME. PEOPLE (cough starfire cough) who believe him
and do it.
And one of them. Is DAMIAN
YEAH
YEAH
IDK
SO HE DOES IT TOO
AND IT WAS AT FIRST JUTS LIKE "I'm a good assassin. I am the one true heir" yada yada crazy assassin baby bs
BUT HE CHANGED IT TO BE LIKE "People like me" AND STUFF AND ITS JUST REALLY SAD BUT HE THINKS IT WORKS CAUSE THE LONGER HES THERE THE MORE HE GETS ACCEPTED AND HE THINKS IT WORKS TOO-
Thank you for coming to my tedtalk
this is inspired by a laugh filled conversation I had with my younger sibling on discord
It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.
Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real
There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations
Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that
The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.
There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)
The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.
Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.
Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.
it's the last day you can rb this
MAKE HIM A FRESHMEN
MAKE HIM BE A LITTLE MAN WHOS VOICE HAS NOT GONE THROUGH PUBERTY
MAKE HIM A SQUEAKY LITTLE FRESHMEN WITH A DRIVE FOR BLOOD
i hope you write (i hope we both write)
and the thing was, it was a fucking fire idea. I mean some things made no sense cause u know dream. Like for example Bruce banner from marvel was there idfk what that's about. But all in all... Good idea.
I can't draw or animate so it's staying in my head
PC nerds of Tumblr help please
For like 3 years I've been saving up to get a PC because right now I play modded Minecraft on like a 2018 HP laptop at like 16 frames and that sucks and I don't like that
I'm only now close to getting to the 1,150 (not including tax cause fuck tax) of the Starforge system pre built Horizon II which I've had my eye on for like a year or so
I know in this industry new stuff gets made for fuck all reasons and computer jargon makes no sense to me.
So...if someone knows a pre built (because I don't trust myself to build one) with the same price range of like 1,150 and not that much more that's better thank the Horizon II please tell me 😭 I just wanna play games with my friends and not lag out
