Grannies around 100 years old appeared in Vogue 2020. They are so beautiful just like flowers.
You might have heard about the 2016 coup d’etat which the House of Parliament was seized by the military junta. More than 80 years have passed since Thailand first claimed to be a democratic country, yet it is hard to deny the existence of the influence of other powers on the politics. Indeed, during this 80-year period, 13 coups were succeeded. With our constitutional rights taken away, the junta exacerbates the situation by cheating in the 2019 election, controlling the media, interfering with the Justice System, and passing laws that favour their own faction–all of which raises the question of the competency of the government itself.
Then the pandemic happened; the people who could not withstand another management failure by the junta government started to call out for their right, hoping for the change. Their voice, however, seemed to be in vain. Not only that the junta ignored their demands, but the protestors were also threatened for their lives. Many have been arrested, yet many still stand up to challenge the regime. The protest that has been going on for months had been without violence, until yesterday.
On October 16th, the officials directly confronted the protestors who gathered in downtown Bangkok, many of which were high-school and college students. Facing the protestors holding just umbrellas, the police force used high-pressure water cannons to break up the protest. We saw the police, armed with armour and shield, assaulting the innocents. Ironically, it was the peaceful protesters who are framed by the media as the starters of the riots.
How could we, as a human, justify this brutality–the crime of state officials toward the people?
Today our Justice is corrupted. The law is nothing more than the government’s tool to silence the dissidents. The police and military are under the junta’s control, and, in turn, their abuse of power are overlooked.
All of these attempts, it seems to me, is to satisfy some groups of authorities who would never let go of their power. Their desire to remain in control is their one and only concern–regardless of the well-being of the people on the street nor the methods they have used and will use to achieve that goal, and regardless of how inhumane they have become.
What I told you here is only small part of the story. Please checkout the tag #whatishappeninginthailand or #restoredemocracyinThailand on twitter for more information.
So if you–friends who live in the country better than ours and are guaranteed the freedom and liberty I never have had–happen to see this message, I hope that you spread our stories. Please watch us. Please amplify our voices. Please let the world know the wicked crimes the Royal Thai Government has committed in the name of “peace,” the term that, as simple as it may sound, the junta will never understand.
I’m losing my SHIT
This is some magical shit
The sad thing is, I don’t know who’s the bigger idiot.
I would argue its the Kara person - because she doesn’t it. Mike is pointing out the obvious
the obvious? what do you mean?
that she played ignorant, was treated accordingly, and that it was silly that she took offense over being deceptive about her understanding
could you explain further? I’m not sure I understand your meaning
I’ve never seen two murders in one post before.
if you say “never forget” when remembering genocides of the past but ignore this, you have already forgotten
Hey remember when US and Russia was all like “We’re the best!!! We’ve won the space race!!!!” But India sent a kick-ass space probe to Mars and the whole mission was fuel efficient, costed less and a roaring success in the first try and then they were like “…..wait no that can’t be true” and still have the audacity to call us “underdeveloped” or only view us as a ‘third world country’? :)
Remember when NYT mocked India for this very thing and an TOI (a major indian newspaper) responded with this? :)
They were being racist asf and we were till respectful literally fuck you if you think ‘third world counties’ can’t be better than you
white people can and should reblog this
and shout out to the women engineers integral to the launch
“Indian staff from the Indian Space Research Organisation celebrate after the Mars Orbiter Spacecraft entered Mars’s orbit.
On November 5, 2013, a rocket launched toward Mars. It was India’s first interplanetary mission, Mangalyaan, and a terrific gamble. Only 40 percent of missions sent to Mars by major space organizations—NASA, Russia’s, Japan’s, or China’s—had ever been a success. No space organization had succeeded on its first attempt. What’s more, India’s space organization, ISRO, had very little funding: while NASA’s Mars probe, Maven, cost $651 million, the budget for this mission was $74 million.
This was not the only success of the mission. An image of the scientists celebrating in the mission control room went viral. Girls in India and beyond gained new heroes: the kind that wear sarees and tie flowers in their hair, and send rockets into space.”
there’s a movie adaptation of this! it’s obviously more dramatized/they use different names but i really really loved the movie! it’s called mission mangal and it was the first time i had heard of this and i was so surprised that literally? no one talked about it??? what they accomplished is incredible.
ALSO, Mangalyaan launched in 2013 and was meant to be a 6 month mission. It’s been in orbit around Mars now for more than 5 years and has enough propellant to keep going for even longer.
“The kind that wear sarees and tie flowers in their hair, and send rockets into space.”
FUCK YES. THIS IS THE TYPE OF REPRESENTATION I’VE BEEN HERE FOR!!
I love how the dudes at back are pure happy!!
a man of Lebanese/Turkish descent on twitter posted a AI-made reconstruction of the face of Jesus and said he looks like family and he’s so right…
him: :)
us: 😭 i trust u with my life
I have often heard him described as having smiling eyes
Among others! Here is his website where you can check out these works and some other photgraphy he’s done, it’s all really beautiful and interesting!
Reblogging again for this awesome addition!
Absolute favorite notes on this are the lesbians going “Ohhhh, so THAT’S why everyone’s so thirsty for Henry Cavill...”
Ohhhhhhhhh
You know what’s sad, before I even read this article I was ready to refute this because I grew up believing Chuck Berry created Rock and roll. It’s said how so many knew of this great woman yet none spoke on her greatness.
I also discovered Big Mama Thornton, who’s another hugely influential early inventor of rock and roll — I’m pretty sure Hound Dog was originally popularized by her, before Elvis stole it.
Love Sister Rosetta Tharpe! #BlackGirlMagic
A few of her performances:
Also I heard she was bisexual…
She was a BEAST
my favorite because shes shredding and says “lets do that again” and then shreds harder
Wait for it
Que weno
is anyone going to tell the people in the notes who are calling the driver an idiot that they did not, in fact, wait for it?
(or that the driver that other people so clearly see is, in fact, not)
ok fuck that got me
To all of us who are a wacky mess and don't really understand wtf we are.
You are valid my friend. Just because you don't know which one suits you best or you just don't like fitting into one term, you're okay, you're still part of the community and I love you.
Stay strong!
Okay but lets illustrate how much white privileged is involved with this story. The weapons this little demon used to kill Grant Nelson were stolen from Walmart. She walked into Walmart, grabbed a machete and a knife, and then just casually walked out the door without anyone attempting to stop her. You get a box of tampons from Walmart and you don’t have it in a bag, they wanna check your receipt. Becky the Sociopath walked out unchecked with literal weapons.
Then she had time to wait outside for the uber this poor man drove to come pick her up. Then she got in his back seat and stabbed him multiple times, pushed him out onto the street, and stole the car. He was able to tell the police who stabbed him before he died. She then crashes the car and is found by the police hiding behind a tree covered in blood. The police try to gently coerce her into dropping her fucking blood covered knives and when she refuses do they shoot her eight times? Oh noooo Lizzy Borden gets tazed and brought in unharmed.
Like just think about the stories that have come out these past two weeks alone. The unarmed black teenager who were literally murdered based on vague suspicion and this girl actually kills someone and is still standing.
The white girl who stole weapons from Walmart and killed an Uber driver was taken alive.
The white guy who took weapons to a convention and planned to kill Jason David Frank and multiple police officers was taken alive.
The white guy who murdered two men who had tried to defend the Muslim women he was harassing was taken alive.
Don’t tell me police had to kill Tamir Rice or Michael Brown or ANYONE else out of caution or fear for their safety. Not when white people who are legitimate threats, even direct threats to police, are routinely taken alive.
