On behalf of Jews, any non-Jewish followers should inform their own followers that the posts about Israeli dams flooding Gaza are false, and blood libel.
It was originally posted by Al Jazeera which made it seem credible, so I just want to add this Al Jazeera note apologizing for the error.
George Takei describes the moment when he and his family were sent to an internment camp.
“Another scene I remember now as an adult is every morning at school we started the day with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag…there was the American flag flying over the camp but I could also see the barbed wire fence and the sentry towers pointing at us from my schoolhouse window as I recited the words ‘With liberty and justice for all’.” – George Takei, The Daily Show (July 24, 2014).
Full Episode (apologies, The Daily Show website does not have the best video player).
Let’s not forget either that while there are people alive who remember being in those camps, there are probably also people alive who supported those camps and possibly still do.
The new pope is so cool right? Also he calls women that decide not to have children extremely selfish. A turd is still a turd.
MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES TRANS WOMEN ARE THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS
This is a blatant lie if you google Pope Francis Transgender you will find articles about Pope Francis personally inviting a trans man to the Vatican and assuring him that he as a place in God’s house.

Bolded the truth. Don’t shame such a wonderful person, please. There are not a lot left in the world.
Ok but did he really say that women who don’t have kids are selfish? Because if so that’s still a problem
He did say anyone who doesn’t have/want kids is selfish, yes. And There is evidence (that I have seen reblogged elsewhere) that backs up that he did say this about trans people.
On the topic of LGBTQIA+ headcanons/mods for cis and/or straight characters.
You know there is some serious shit going on when I am bothering to write with correct grammar.
Q: You can make a straight character LGBTQ+ but not an LGBTQ+ character straight? Isn’t that a little hypocritical? A: No, but it’s about context, fictional characters are created by people in our current world, with our current world’s perceptions and current status of LGBTQ+ people surrounding said creators, and of course, we consumers.
With that in mind, let’s look at some neat points about being an LGBTQ+ person at this current time:
Homosexual is illegal in 76+ countries.
In America there are 29 states in which is it legal for an employer to fire a person for being gay.
In all but 3 states “Conversion Therapy” on minors is legal.
Now; add in heteronormativity. When was the last time you saw a new MAINSTREAM/BLOCKBUSTER movie released with an openly, visibly, LGBTQ+ lead/hero/heroine? Never? Can you name more than ten openly LGBTQ+ characters from recent movies? Probably not.
We are invisible, through history we have been demonised, silenced, covered up, killed, or worse. Us taking one from you and MAKING A NON-CANON RE-IMAGINING is categorically not the same as you taking from us, you have taken enough. You have everything already. 99% of characters? Straight, cis.
If you can read this and still think those two things are equivalents, in a world where prejudice against LGBTQ+ people is still so rampant and destructive: You are a terrible human being, congrats.
So, to end my point; perhaps it would be hypocritical if we were treated as equals, but we are not. Please acknowledge this, please accept it. No straight person is ‘hurt’ by LGBTQ+ headcanons/mods, but erasing the precious few LGBTQ+ characters we have hurts LGBTQ+ people across the board.
