Digital Archive of Israel's Genocide has been launched Archivegenocide.com

I came across the recent launch of a Archival website that has documented the social media of the conflict/war/genocide/massacre (whatever you call it) in Gaza. I highly recommend you spend sometime looking through it; I think it is very important that we don't forget what the Gazans went through and their suffering as we strive to achieving peace and humanitarian aid to support Gaza (assuming that's what we all want).

Watching these videos invoked the same feelings I had about a year ago when the destruction was peaking, the feeling of shock and horror that is now being streamed to my phone that made me ask questions about who are Palestinians and what their conditions are like that sent me down a rabbit hole of history. The contradiction of the propaganda I was hearing on the news versus what I saw with my eyes. It's ridiculous being told that the IDF is the "world's most moral army" while watching a bleeding baby covered in burns, and it was not just one baby either but many children. To those who say that this is what war looks like seem to forget the lessons of why war is bad to begin with, and why we protest against it. So many pointless wars fought in the last 80 years that resulted in the killing of so many civilians, why is this one any different?

To those who support this war, the bombings pre and post ceasefire, and the continued occupation of Gaza, I really want you to have a long stroll through the website and look at all of the screaming injured people, because that's war (or more accurately genocide), and if you support it, then you must have the stomach to watch the crimes against humanity that your support endorsed.

Bear did not want to send Nikki to a psychiatric ward.

In the movie, when Nikki was bashing her face with the broken bottle in front of everyone at the party, that would have 100% warranted her detention at a psychiatric ward, maybe preventing some of the events of the movie. I was wondering why on earth Bear wasn't sending her to one where she could be restrained. I realised that he didn't want to send her away. Throughout the movie, he had plenty of opportunities to escape, to run away, but he always came back to Nikki because he was obsessed with her. Even when she was becoming abusive and violent, he still wanted to be with her, until Sarah. Sending her to a psychiatric hospital would have meant Bear would not be able to be with Nikki again.

Honestly, the whole friend group at the party were implicit for what happened afterwards, but obviously Bear bears the responsibility. All of them witnessed Nikki's self-abusive / suicide attempt, and none of them called the paramedics or police or reported the incident. It kind of felt like a commentary when people see something wrong (sexism, abuse, etc) and they don't intervene. I don't know if that was Curry Barker's intention when he was writing that scene, but it felt fitting with the movie's themes.
