There is currently several shootings in the streets of Paris, in the Xth and XIth districts. There is already victims, 18 persons has been killed.
So please, if you are in Paris right now: stay home.
For more infos, you can read the news here, apparently we don’t know yet the why and the who.
There’s also a reddit live news feed with sources in English and French
Latest news is that 60 people have been killed
At least six shootings took place in Paris and three explosions took place at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
At least 60 have been killed, and there’s currently a massive hostage situation with DOZENS being held captive by gunmen at the Bataclan Concert Hall, with numerous reports of screams and gunfire being heard coming from the inside.
France is CLOSING ITS BORDERS and has entered a STATE OF EMERGENCY as ordered by the French President Francois Hollande in an address to the nation. THIS HAS BEEN DECLARED A TERRORIST ATTACK.
This is huge. And, THIS IS STILL GOING ON AS I TYPE THIS. Please, pass this on, stay updated. My heart goes out to the people of Paris.
I’m just going to put this out there - November 12th ISIS bombed and killed a bunch of people in Lebanon and I didn’t see a single post on Tumblr or on Facebook or on Twitter about it. The very next day they do the same thing in Paris and it’s 90% of the posts that I see.
I’m not saying Paris shouldn’t be talked about I’m just saying it’s incredibly interesting what topics the media chooses to focus on and which it ignores. Just one day prior Lebanon was under attack. A few weeks before that it was massive bombings in Turkey that killed 95 people and wounded 200. Again did not get anywhere near the same type of media coverage.
It’s quite indicative of what kind of lives we as a society - and our every day media - consider to be of importance.

Women don’t really. It’s not the way females tend to do things. War…you can thank men for that.
have you finished whipping yourself
So OP is just going to ignore the female leaders of nations that had and declared wars?
Boudicca of the Celts, Isabella of France, Isabella of Bastille, Brunehilde from the myths, Wu Zetian of China, Artemisia of Macedonia, Elizabeth the Virgin Queen, and countless others.
I’m gonna take a wild guess at what the OP meant here. It’s most likely that patriarchy bred the spirit of war because men in the ancient times were hunters and were responsible for manufacturing the tools of violence. But even if we look at that, women were the gatherers and started agriculture, and that led to territorial violence between different clans.
Even if you say that female leaders in patriarchal nations had no choice but to roll with the system for their survival, there is no such research that has been done in primarily matriarchal societies that prove that war isn’t a patriarchal construct.
In fact, matriarchal societies tend to be just as vicious because of the instinctive nature of women to protect their children.
It’s important to remember that the same patriarchy that led to men being more violent led to women being more meek. If there were no sexism, none at all, there would be no difference between the way women and men do things.
At the end of the day, war is a result of territorial violence, and sexism don’t matter in case of survival.
So, to recap:
Plus the countless hostile incidents posted online but not reported on in the media. I’m disgusted by my own country rn tbh.
Not proud of Canada right now.
Paris- Terrorist Attacks
Japan- Earthquake
Baghdad- Funeral Bombed
Beirut- Suicide Bombing
Mexico- Earthquake
That charity event I was a part of was for the most part was very successful, had to over come a lot of crap but great. I can’t talk about much of the crap that went on but there is still a lot of stressful bullshit happend and is still going. A small group that was brought in didn’t do much work that they promised. They did do photography, inwhich they posted w/o reviewing photos with the preformers; but on top of that not even giving credit to any of the preformers just listing them as burlesque dancer. Now this event had many groups including the one I’m in (vagabond group) for this it has been running a few years. They are acting like like they put on this whole thing. This is only a smidget of the bullshit that went on (mostly them and people they brought in) but I’m not going to talk about much until things are more set; just needed to vent a little. Bottom line they cost the charity a couple thousands of dollars for nothing. Like I said much more went on, mostly with them, it’s just more and more bullshit though.
