I had this really weird dream that was Twilight and it literally boiled down to “The Cullens are actually a group of vampires that are as known and feared/revered as the Voltori. But they’re Vegan and they’re like THOSE KINDS of Vegan so no one likes them.”
I s2g most of my days working in advertising is just me screaming into the void from all the fuckery my clients make me go through, but then I see stuff like this and suddenly I’m Peggy Olson
one absolutely incredible fact about me was that since wacoms brand new tablet instructions pad never explicitly said when to change a pen nib i just assumed as long as the thing kept working i didnt need to change it. this resulted in me taking a good look at my tablet pen 2 YEARS after i started using it and discovering the pen itself was chiseled to hell and back
wHY DOES THIS HAVE JUST 308 NOTES???? THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD BE SHARING THIS. CHINA IS LITERALLY COMMITTING THE HOLOCAUST, ONLY THIS TIME ON MUSLIMS AND Y’ALL ARE SILENT?
i have 495 people following me right now, including several mutuals. i better see y’all reblogging.
People might not be reblogging this because the first tweet makes unnecessary (and untrue) Holocaust comparisons. Taken from @nat_slay on Twitter (I don’t know the original source):
The “ways to help” info seems good afaik but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong there too.
As a Jewish person, I appreciate those saying that this is not okay and that it is misinformation. No, 6 million Uyghur Muslims have not been murdered.
And, as a Jewish person, I know that 6 million very well could be murdered. This is not another Shoah, but it very well could become another. As a Jewish person, I feel we must say “never again.”
Never again.
“Never again” does not mean “this event was so uniquely horrible, it could never happen again.” It means “this event was horrible, but not unique. We have to make sure it never happens again.”
Never again.
The Uyghur death count isn’t 6 million, that is misinformation. But “never again” means we have to make sure it doesn’t become 6 million.
If you are not Jewish or Romani, do not draw comparisons to the Holocaust. All that provides is shock value and misinformation. What you can do is support Uyghur Muslims.
