Because he just like said my name and didn't do a "you too" or a ":D" and I figured if he wanted one would be like "no animal D:?"
I see how it is, if someone meets you in person they stop getting animal tiktoks
I am being condemned by the proletariat of lemmygrad for not giving you an animal video would you like an animal video?
Thank you, very cool. I had them as pets when I was a child. It was a Sinterklaas gift.
This looks like that log bug thing from Kong: Skull Island, I didn't notice it wasn't a stick lol
'Insert shocked emoji'
Found it, I was thinking of this:
Show
What's next, Skullcrawlers? Bamboo spiders? Giant apes?
Another week in a world where the crackers haven't gotten the only thing they deserve yet :/
While protesting on Dam square, one of us was chased by police and dragged into a police van. Either he was already targeted or the police singled out a random person to give us a warning. So crazy, never seen this before with my own two eyes. I'm safe now, returning home
Wild, hope he's okay. Stay safe, scary stuff happening with these protests.
Hope so too, don't even know who it was. It happened so fast.
Students around Belgium are starting to occupy campuses this week. Hopefully it goes well
In the Netherlands, two more campuses have been occupied now as well. Groningen and TU Eindhoven
Please do, it's a good experience and makes you feel like you doing something worthwhile. And you learn a lot about organizing as well
I will probably visit tomorrow after work!
Thanks for liking my insta comments lol
do american liberals think that people occupying campuses rn are only a us thing? seems like it
Its definitely more noticeable in the US. In my country there isn't a single one yet afaik.
The Netherlands is absolutely doing a fascism speedrun it seems and the student protests are highlighting it tremendously. Never in my life have I seen people justify police beating down a protest against genocide with even politicians intimidating journalists.
Like, over here universities are getting occupied as well but apart from some mellow reactions there hasn't been any trouble (yet). The Netherlands is just collectively losing it. But seeing the election results that shouldn't be a surprise.
According to a poll from EenVandaag, 75% are in favor of the police response
I heard on the radio my town now also has a university protest will check it out after work
Who would've thought the fucking Netherlands would turn towards fascism again. (counting their time under Nazi occupation)
Joining my country's communist party today. Well, at least I’ll try. I’m heading to one of their work center as we speak
nah, it was closed 💀 smh bourgeois decadence
I'll be trying again tomorrow
Apparently the Asian Hornet has won the battle against extermination here and the government and exterminators will just accept that the invasive species will thrive here. Money is also a big issue in this. It may or may not decimate native bee populations, but based on news articles nobody really seems to care.
At this point, I´d say have a nature battle galore. Introduce wild scorpions as they kill hornets. Breed millions of birds to kill them. Have exterminators put on three suits and fill their nests with fireworks. Have some fun, it's not that anyone even cares anymore.
Capitalists will not let us win the fight against invasive species since it's not profitable enough for them
Hornets and wasps are threat to society and flamethrower is the solution most of the time.
I'm at least willing to defend wasps as there are a lot more of them than just the standard yellow jacket. Lots of solitary wasps, for example, are great pest controls and some even help with pollinating. Even yellow jackets are useful as pest control.
The Asian Hornet however is invasive in Europe and is damaging other insects populations and even humans.
Yes, but wasps are also invasive in North America for example.
was speaking to a family member who mentioned her coworker talking about "standing with Israel" which sent me into a full blown rant about how fucking evil Zionists are and how Palestinians are 100% justified in their attacks on Israel and I think my indignant rage kinda shook her a bit lol.
I feel like I've had this anger boiling just under the surface for so long and I finally opened a release valve and just went off about how Israel and the US are unequivocally evil. I ended up apologizing to her because once I cooled down I felt bad about blowing up on her but man it felt good to finally just release all that anger. I need a better way to channel it though
Where do you donate to help the people of Gaza? UN relief or somewhere else?
You can try with the UNRWA https://donate.unrwa.org/-landing-page/en_EN
I mean it looks like light mode... I have only ever used dark mode so I cannot help you.
It's been some time since I used Element. But I don't think so. It seems like you just haven't joined any rooms or started a conversation with someone.
