Itâs a minor pet peeve, but it is everywhere today so errrrâŚ. please keep in mind that âRest in Peaceâ/RIP literally comes from a latin phrase and is a very very deeply Christian expression.
When talking about the departed, Jews say âmay their memory be a blessing.â
So please, when talking about a dead person who is Jewish, try to keep in mind that RIP is a Christian phrase.
I learned something today, so Iâll pass it on so someone else can learn too
Donât let anyone forget the fact that the President of the United States skipped out on visiting military graves for Armistice Dayâs 100th anniversary.Â
Because of rain.
He has golfed in the rain. He was inaugurated in the rain. Other leadersâand his own subordinatesâmade it out there in the rain.Â
President Trump, though? The man who loves our troops and our country? Yeah, itâs weird that he didnât go to the ceremony and chose to stay in his hotel room. He left our country on Veteranâs Day weekend to visit Paris for the reunion, but could not be bothered to face a little rain in order to pay his respects to the troops.
He forgets the names of the fallen. He cuts funding for veteran welfare programs. He sends our soldiers to the border for needless exercises in intimidation. Then he claims that others are weak on the military and donât respect our troops?
What a joke.
How do you make a celebration all about other people into something all about you?Â
âŚ.. by not going.Â
He skipped visiting Arlington Cemetery yesterday as well. Like seriously, he is the biggest piece of shit.Â
So as a division officer to nearly 60 sailors over 3 years. I asked every single one. âWhat made you join the Navy?â Here is the breakdown. 80% – To pay for college 10% – To get out of a bad family situation 5% – Family Tradition 5% – Because of 9/11.
âWould poor people literally risk their lives to win access to things that the rich take for granted if that werenât set up as the only way to get them?â
I forgive Florence + The Machine and Hozier for their absence in music cuz tbh time doesnât exist to them so on their side they just stepped out for a cigarette break and for us, like 10 human years passed
whatâs killing tumblr and the activity on this site isnât the website attacking us, itâs the fact no one uses the reblog button anymore, the ratios of likes to reblogs is staggering and liking shit is nice but if weâre not gonna reblog it then whatâs the point of even making content? whatâs the point of even coming on here? if i just wanted to like shit iâd use pinterest. no tumblr isnât perfect, no they have done things that seem fucked up on the surface (but totally legal underneath if you read the rules) but the fact no one supports each otherâs content anymore is the reason this website is dying. and i say, thatâs all our fault collectively not tumblrs.
