Until this morning, approximately 8 buses carrying about 7000 civilians from Eastern Aleppo to either government backed Western Aleppo or also besieged Idlib. Now the the, the ceasefire, peace deal, AND evacuations HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY SUSPENDED by Russia and the Syrian regime. This was after a deal reached on all sides that in exchange for evacuating Eastern Aleppo, militants (known as Fateh al-Sham) would allow 29 buses into two villages they’ve seized to transport the wounded.
However, Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah militants OPENED FIRE on the ninth convoy of Aleppo evacuees and has taken 800 HOSTAGES. The Syrian regime then demanded that the evacuation processes be halted, demanded the Int’l Red Cross to leave Eastern Aleppo, and shelling and bombardment HAVE BEGAN AGAIN in Eastern Aleppo. There are approximately 65,000 residents still held in that part of the city.
All communication has been cut and now we face a media blackout from Eastern Aleppo. Last communications were distress calls that confirmed Assad, Russia, and Iranian backed militias have resumed their assault on Aleppo.
We have been unable to communicate properly with anyone under siege from Eastern Aleppo. Seized convoy buses and hostages have reported horrors from Hezbollah militias. They are purposely rounding up men and male children, in front of their wives and mothers, and killing them in mass executions. Women are being kidnapped, raped, tortured, threatened with their husbands or children, and being sent back to besieged Eastern Aleppo. Some of these women have committed suicide (in some cases along with their children) in order to avoid the war crimes against them after their husbands are killed or taken away.
The peace deal has collapsed. We are back to square one. Aleppo residents and evacuees are either facing heavy bombardment and attacks in a blockaded city with no escape or facing amongst the worst crimes against humanity by militias and the regime as hostages in seized in these convoys. The Red Crescent has expressed absolute shock at the deterioration of the ceasefire and evacuation deal. As of now, Eastern Aleppo and their evacuees are back to facing the horrors equivalent of the ones they faced earlier this week.
Once again, humanity and the international community has failed us. We are being butchered by our own government and its allies. The worst war crimes and violations of human rights are being committed against the most powerless people in the world. Please help. Continue to spread the word.

ok but honestly? how does this lion not maul the fuck out of him.
Lions are huge kittens
He’s probably been with these lions for quite a while. The grunting noises the lion makes (or “chuffling” as it’s known as) are his way of saying “hello” to his human friend. Lions have pretty good memories, too, so if the lion was raised as a cub by this dude, it’s very likely he’ll remember him as an adult. And if the lion shows affection to this guy, then his pride will pretty much be like: “Ok he’s cool we’ll love him too”.
Plus, social apex predators are generally pretty mellow. It’s the solitary types and the herbivores you’ve gotta watch out for. Especially the latter – large herbivores are assholes.
This is Kevin Richardson!!
He is a badass and has worked for almost twenty years with a ton of lions like these ones. He has his own unique style of handling the lions where he spends countless man hours with the cats, often hand-rearing them from a very young age. The result is he is an “honorary lion” in several of the prides that he oversees in this park in South Africa. He will often go for walks with them like this, or take naps or be just generally cuddly with the lions to enforce the social bond.
He honestly loves these guys like they’re family, and as a result is able to use the lions in films and adverts in a way that is very low-stress for the animals due to their incredible faith in him. Currently he has a youtube channel where you can see him working with the animals and promoting wildlife conservation and awareness :D!
I love how gay people do it too. Just… really? You’re literally saying the same shit to bisexuals that straight people say to you, and you don’t see the hypocrisy?
If youre biphobic or hate bisexuals, fucking unfollow me, for serious.

Why is this a thing like really? Homosextual people of ALL beings should understand that you like what you like and if the answer multiple choice then that’s just more love to go around non?
BY REBLOGGING THIS YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOUR BLOG IS COMPLETELY ACCEPTING OF BI FOLKS!!! BISEXUAL PEOPLE ARE PART OF THE LGBT+ COMMUNITY AND IF YOU DISAGREE, PLEASE UNFOLLOW ME
this really annoyed me, have some decency. people can be who they want to be, they can be gay, straight or both. you have no right to tell them that their sexuality is wrong.
👏👏go amy!!! ^
the posts are disgusting. how can anyone think that? it’s being attracted to both genders. stop.
Okay, two of my best friends are bisexual. If you don’t like bisexualism, please don’t talk to me.
Reblogging this as a proud bisexual, don’t you dare say that we’re not part of the LGBT+ community when we’re in a straight relationship, that’s just plain wrong.
I started crying when I read this. I, myself as a proud bisexual, feel awful when I saw this, and I don’t want others to feel like this. You matter, you aren’t doing anything wrong, and you shouldn’t ‘pick a side’. Be who you are, be happy, because at the end of the day, that matters the most.
Interrupting the holiday spirit to put this out on my blog. If you’re unaccepting of anyone, please be prepared to have people be unaccepting of you. I’m aware that this post opens myself up to anyone saying that I’m being intolerant to other people’s views. If your view is intolerant of another person that’s fine. You have a right to whatever belief you want. However, if you begin to directly attack another person just because you don’t agree with their sexual preference, then I’m more than happy to say you’ll get the same negative treatment from me that you give others. Because I’m just as welcome to my own belief as you are of yours. I don’t demand anyone unfollow me they don’t agree with me. I do, however, ask you to respect my belief. Do that, and I will respect yours, no matter how much I disagree with it. I am completely capable of being friends with someone who has an opposing outlook on life, as long as we can agree to not get into a discussion about the topic. But now that you know my opinion on this situation, I don’t think it will be very difficult to determine whether you need to be led to the door or not, should you feel the need to converse with me about this.
Biphobic Homosexuals: Omg I wish people would stop judging us for our sexuality! Love is love!
Bisexual Person: Hi, I exist, and I’m attracted to two or more genders.
Biphobic Homosexuals: OMG HOW DISGUSTING, YOU ARE EVERYTHING WRONG WITH SOCIETY, YOU DON’T REALLY FEEL THAT WAY YOU’RE JUST CONFUSED AND WANT ATTENTION, ALSO YOU’RE A SLUT AND WHAT YOU’RE DOING IS SO WROOOOONG.
Bisexual Person: And they don’t even see the irony….

Yeah comments like this from both straight people and from the LGBT community is why I tend not to tell people I’m bi… it’s too much of a hassle to deal with people who hate others for just being who they are.

we opened at 11 this morning. i watched an old man literally pry the fucking sliding doors open at 10:43 and stand there just staring into the empty store and my coworker & i were like sir. for the love of fuck
I worked in a restaurant for while and a woman climbed past an A board sign, ignored the sign on a the door saying the opening times and trotted on in. When told we were not open she asked why the door was unlocked. My manager explained that it has to be unlocked when people are in the building to comply with fire regulations. Which lead to my favourite exchange with a customer: Woman: But there are no people in here. Manager: Madam. The staff count as people. Woman: That’s ridiculous. *Storms out*
