Fearing Such Hits As “Poisoning Pigeons In The Park,” “National Brotherhood Week,” “The Masochism

This makes me so happy!

[image ID: Text reading Texas State Aquarium staff stated that the animals have been getting a little restless. One of the employees had an idea to let some of the land animals spend time with some of the sea animals, and it has worked out brilliantly.

Putting the sloths near the dolphins was the biggest surprise of all. The dolphins are absolutely delighted with the sloths, and the sloths, normally very quiet animals, have been squeaking replies back to the dolphins for hours at a time. Who would have guessed these two species would be such a great match?

There is a photo of two dolphins in a large pool, their heads peeking out above the water to look at a brown sloth, who is hanging on a branch. End ID]

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

What is actually going on in yemen:

CHOLERA OUTBREAK

the cholera pandemic has been going on since around 2016, and it continues to get worse every day due to the lack of public health sectors and aid, as well as the saudi led air strikes on water systems and food infrastructure

HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

yemen currently has the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world, with over 24 million people in need of aid

FAMINE

the famine in yemen is said to become the worst one in 100 years and it continues to get worse ever day due to the poor funding and saudi intervention (with the support of the us, uk & france). nearly half the population will soon be dependent on aid

CIVIL WAR

it started when the houthis (backed by iran) rebelled against the government and began to seize territories (taking over the capital sana'a). in order to get the houthis out, saudi began bombing yemen and thus the conflict worsened

WAR

saudi arabia (with the support of the us, uk and france) has been bombing yemen in order to get rid of the houthi rebels. this led to the deterioration of yemen's situation, as well as the death of many civilians. they target public infrastructure, water systems, schools, etc

CORONAVIRUS

there aren't many testing kits and the hospitals aren't equipped with treating it. basic necessities such as masks and gloves also aren't available, thus making the situation worsen (especially with everything else going on adding to it)

FLOODS

lately yemen has been experiencing really bad floods that have torn down homes, destroyed food supplies and killed people. these floods have attributed to the spread of disease too

PLAGUE

yes, there is literally a plague now. it seems to have come after the floods, and has people are dropping dead. i think they still haven't found the cause but it affects your lungs. i don't know too much on this issue though, so please add if you have more information.

ECONOMIC CRISIS

since the start of the civil war in 2015, yemen's economy contracted by 50% due to the inflation and devaluation of the rial. people are hungry because of poverty and lack of jobs, and while you could potentially flee war, you can't flee hunger.

BLOCKADE

the saudi military coalition currently has a blockade on yemen's sea, air & land ports which stops aid from coming in. though they apparently eased it a little, it's still there and having catastrophic effects on the situation.

EXTRA

here's more stuff that's happening in yemen

- no water & electricity

- high poverty rates

- food prices are too expensive

- multiple serious disease eg meningitis

- isis & al gaeda have carried out attacks

- corruption

ADDITIONAL NOTES

of course this isn't everything, all of these factors have consequences, like the collapse of public health sectors but i can't fit it all in. please research and educate yourselves on the situation, we're blessed to be in a time with multiple sources

Here are a few more types of conflict!

Image ID below the cut!

(Image ID: a Nine-by-Nine grid labeled "Conflict in Literature". The first column is labeled "Classical" and it has (going top down) a man in a red shirt using a pitchfork to fight animals with red eyes with the caption "Man vs. Nature"; the same man holding a sword fighting another man with a sword and armor with the caption "Man vs. Man"; and the same man shaking his fist at a hand coming down from a cloud with the caption "Man vs. God". The second column is labeled "Modern" and has the man backing away from a crowd that is throwing things at him with the caption "Man vs. Society"; the man walking alone with a bottle and the caption "Man vs. Self"; and the man shaking his fist at the sky again, though this time, there is no cloud/hand, with the caption "Man vs. No God". The third column is labeled "Postmodern" and has the man waving a stick at a row of computers and the caption "Man vs. Technology"; the man walking on wavy ground that appears to have eyes below a sky full of dice with the caption "Man vs. Reality"; and the man sitting on a book shaking his fist at a hand holding a pen coming from the sky, captioned "Man vs. Author". Below the lower-right box ("Man vs. Author") there is the name of the author of the comic "Grant Snider".
