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.

ever think about how mcr denied the multiple requests to be on the twilight soundtrack and then wrote and released and entire song about how much they did not want to do it but they DID record na na na in simlish for the sims 3. that’s what we call Taste.

congrats to the ARAs who got facebook to ban animal sales. shortly before then, many rare heritage chicken breeds were getting much needed attention to save the breeds thanks to various agricultural facebook pages highligting them. but now, with the ban of animal sales on facebook, those heritage breeds have become damn near impossible to find again. guess what that means? the breeds will begin dying out again. people will go back to hatcheries who mass produce unhealthy chicken breeds in horrible conditions. folks will always buy chickens, but now instead of buying them from ethical breeders on facebook they’ll be supporting a terrible industry, woohoo.

hope y’all are proud.

We are, actually!

Slowly but surely your industry will go extinct, just like those breeds of chicken!

thanks for the love and attention uwu

I think this interaction is very important for people to see.

animal welfare advocates work to make sure heritage, healthy breeds survive as an alternative to corporate breeds like the Cornish X, which grow so quickly that their legs eventually collapse under their own ballooning flesh. heritage breeds like the Brahma, Cochin, and Legbar (left to right below) grow and lay at a normal life, and can happily scratch about, dig holes in your grass to nap in, rip the leaves off your garden plants one by one, and make very funny sounds with their functional beautiful bodies, all while providing you with food.

‘animal rights’ advocates like @gendercontender​ would prefer a world in which the relationship between chickens and their keepers (and the chickens themselves) did not exist. I would go ask Tallgeese, Yennefer, Anzu, Milkshake, Henny and Perchy what they think of all this, but fortunately they’re too busy tearing apart a fresh green head of lettuce like the tiny funny velociraptors they are.

it fucks me up that tolkien only died in 1973. dude has the vibe of a victorian scholar who wrote all his manuscripts by candlelight but then you look him up and realise that he knew what color tv was. what the fuck.

Tolkien had personal beef with the Beatles

He actively encouraged Led Zeppelin to write songs based on the LOTR series and considered it an honor
