I Learned That In August 2014 Women’s Voices For The Earth Commissioned Testing Of Four Types Of Always

i learned that in August 2014 Women’s Voices for the Earth commissioned testing of four types of Always menstrual pads, manufactured by Procter & Gamble. The certified laboratory STAT Analysis Corporation analyzed the products for volatile organic compound.

“The results of the testing indicate that both scented and unscented Always pads emit toxic chemicals, including chemicals identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and the State of California Environmental Protection Agency as carcinogens, and reproductive and developmental toxins. None of these chemicals are disclosed on the product by the manufacturer.” (x)

I'm not Palestinian. I'm an Iranian physician, & my whole life the people of my country have been vilified in movies, books, & in the news. I know what it's like for my people to be dehumanized, for their deaths to barely register, to all be lumped together as terrorists...

I'm not Palestinian but Estonian. Stalin murdered many members of my family and our land was taken. They deported thousands- it's a small country. The West did nothing during our 50 years of occupation. I can't tolerate seeing it happen again. And again.

i'm actually so fucking sick of zionists using phrases such as "Was it worth it, Hamas?" cause literally what the fuck are y'all yapping about??? Israel has been indiscriminately bombing gaza in front of our eyes since last October, Israel has murdered more than 30 thousands Palestinians within 5 months, Israel is forcefully starving gaza, Israel is the one committing war crimes everyday, Israel is continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing. Israel. is. illegally. occupying. Palestine.

we all know who are the perpetrators here. and zionists can't gaslight people into "hamas started it" bullshit anymore. everyone is actually sick of Israel's dumb colonialism propaganda where they just repeat same old tactics “how dare you palestinians resist us, after we have your stolen land, freedom, human rights and subjugated your people under fascist colonial regime.”

Israel carry out atrocities in broad daylight and then go ahead blame Palestinian resistance for the said act of savagery they've performed, "O their audacity!" indeed!

Ok, so my head canon is that on the day the marauders are supposed to learn about Amortentia, Remus walks into potions class and just straight up gags, and says "Oh merlin, what are we brewing? It smells like a wet dog and ciggarette smoke! Then James looks super confused and says "Are you sure? I don't smell anythin' like that. Lily sure is using a lot of perfume today though. Are you sure you aren't smelling Padfoot?" And then Sirius gets all offended like "Hey, I showered this morning! And I haven't smoked today, so ha! Besides I don't know how you can smell anything like that over how much chocolate you've clearly got in your pockets!"

And Peter just stares because Merlin these boys are idiots. Then he exchanges a glance with a very confused Slughorn.
