3 yo Jamal, who's diabetic & has asthma, depends on donations to stay alive under Israel's genocidal siege, which keeps essential medicine like insulin scarce & exorbitantly costly. His parents are repeatedly deleted by the admins, obliterating their reach & driving them to despair. Share/donate:

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

This was in response to a minor being gang raped by people posing as police in Delhi. Same week, there was another case of actual police gang raping another minor in Uttar Pradesh. As well as another news story of a minor being molested by a group of men. India's rotted through with rape culture.

I cannot stress enough how every person in this bar needs to clear an evening asap and watch Ulrike Ottinger’s Johanna d’Arc of Mongolia (1989) absogoddamnlutely flipfuck immediately. Cultural immersion and pure, border-crossing empathy and joy. A reward of moviemaking.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.
