Where is the outrage? Where have all the "humans" gone? Israel slaughtered over 300 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp

I'm tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human

They said it cannot be found, we have searched, we said

That which cannot be found I desire

آن که یافت می‌ نشود آنم آرزوست

Hey all, is "Trajimos botanas a la fiesta," something one would say? In Mexico?
Apparently there a multiple words for "snack" in Spanish. This example has me curious due to the lack of article. (No "las" ahead of the noun. I only know of this phenomenon in the structure, [Maria] es doctor, so I wonder if "trajimos botanas" is a typo.)

Can we please stop annex, and use invade?

Annex sounds like paperwork

Invade is when we lose our country, our parliament, our money, our electricity, our freedom to speak move work, our water, our ...wait, you get it, right?

Kids are asking parents if they'll be able or allowed to leave the city, province or country if Americans invade. (Narrator: no.)

We. Are. Not. Fucking. Around. Why are millions of Americans?
