During the Rwandan genocide, when neighbors killed neighbors and friends betrayed friends, some crossed lines of hatred to protect each other.

At the time of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, the Mufti of Rwanda, the most respected Muslim leader in the country, issued a fatwa forbidding Muslims from participating in the killing of the Tutsi. As the country became a slaughterhouse, mosques became places of refuge where Muslims and Christians, Hutus and Tutsis came together to protect each other. KINYARWANDA is based on true accounts from survivors who took refuge at the Grand Mosque of Kigali and the madrassa of Nyanza. It recounts how the Imams opened the doors of the mosques to give refuge to the Tutsi and those Hutu who refused to participate in the killing.

A Buddhism FAQ:

thecrossroads:

“Because we produce our own suffering, it is within our power not to produce it, and not to suffer. This is the truth regarding the cessation of suffering.

“The way of life which does not cause suffering is the path; it is the way of harmlessness, wishlessness, selflessness.”

interstellargeek:

Khan’s character was essentially supposed to be the product of eugenics. Having Khan, the most superior of the “augments” being non-white in the 1960’s when eugenics was synonymous with “white supremacy”…it was a big deal.

It was just another “fuck you” to bigotry that Gene Roddenberry threw into his show.

David Trumble took several real-life famous women and turned them into Disney Princesses

From left to right:

Princess Marie Curie

Princess Anne Frank

Princess Ruth Bader Ginsberg

Princess Harriet Tubman

Princess Malala Yousafzai

Princess Hillary Clinton

Princess Jane Goodall

Princess Gloria Steinem

Princess Rosa Parks

Princess Susan B. Anthony

Of course it’d be nice if there was more diversity (they have one less WOC than the actual disney princess lineup!), less western-centric, more modern women, and women who are not cis hetero, as well as disabled and/or fat women.

But I thought it was a cool take.

I am here for Princess Malala Yousafzai.

Shout out to everyone who had to be their own mother/parent.

Just because your parents weren’t capable doesn’t mean you didn’t deserve love and security.

I’m proud of us, of the amazing humans we’ve raised.
