Missionary or not, if you go somewhere where it is widely known they don’t want visitors and it is literally illegal to contact them or go on their land, and you get clapped, that is your own fault.
Stop trying to colonize everyone and mind your business.
this man wasn’t a tourist — he was an intruder.
Left out of the headlines and first paragraphs:
He was killed on his THIRD visit.
The first time the locals shot arrows at the kayak he used to get from the fishing boat he hired to the shore. That dissuaded him for a day. Then he came back with a large fish as a gift. The locals accepted the fish and told him to leave. He whipped out his Bible and they shot up the Bible (as one of his missionary relatives described it to the BBC “The Bible saved his life!”). Still not taking the hint he returned the next day and, having had enough of his bullshit, they filled him with arrows.
Feel free to save this flyer and boost to other social media like your IG and facebook. People in this town are still struggling very badly after the hurricane and could use all the help they can get.

THIS THANKSGIVING:
Please consider offering a donation to the indigenous community in Lumberton N.C. The Lumbee people are still suffering after [devastating] hurricanes, flooding and systemic poverty.
Not to get controversial or anything but can we stop with making fun of women being abused by their husbands and playing it off as ‘straight culture’
I lost 10 followers for saying we shouldnt make fun of domestic abuse victims.
can we also please stop making fun of men being abused by their wives thanks
Good addition
Can we also stop acting that domestic abuse is just a “straight” thing?
It’s literally teaching our baby gays that any same sex relationship their going into is safe and they don’t need to be worried about being abused and controlled.
annual BlackHoleFriday! Check out these black hole deals from the past year as you prepare to
head out for a shopping spree or hunker down at home to avoid the crowds.
First things first, black holes have one basic rule:
They are so incredibly dense that to escape their surface you’d have to travel
faster than light. But light speed is the cosmic speed limit … so nothing
can escape a black hole’s surface!
Black
hole birth announcements
Some black holes form when a very large star
dies in a supernova explosion and collapses
into a superdense object. This is even more jam-packed than the crowds at your
local mall — imagine an object 10 times more massive than the Sun squeezed into
a sphere with the diameter of New York City!
Near one black hole called GRS 1915+105, NICER found disk
winds — fast streams of gas created by heat or pressure. Scientists are still figuring out some puzzles about these types of wind.
Where do they come from, for example? And do they change the way material falls
into the black hole? Every new example of these disk winds helps astronomers
get closer to answering those questions.
Merging
monster black holes
But stellar mass black holes aren’t the only
ones out there. At the center of nearly every large galaxy lies a supermassive
black hole — one with the mass of millions or billions of Suns smooshed into a region no bigger than our solar
system.
There’s still some debate about how these
monsters form, but astronomers agree that they certainly can collide and
combine when their host galaxies collide and combine. Those black holes will
have a lot of gas and dust around them. As that material is pulled into the
black hole it will heat up due to
It also turns out that these supermassive
black holes are the source of some of the brightest objects in the gamma ray
sky! In a type of galaxy called active galactic nuclei (also called “AGN” for short)
the central black hole is surrounded by a disk of gas and dust that’s
constantly falling into the black hole.
But not only that, some of those AGN have jets
of energetic particles that are shooting out from near the black hole at nearly
the speed of light! Scientists are studying these jets to try to understand how
black holes — which pull everything in with their huge amounts of gravity —
provide the energy needed to propel the particles in these jets. If that jet is
pointed directly at us, it can appear super-bright in gamma rays and we call it
a blazar. These blazars make up more than half of the sources our Fermi
space telescope sees.
Catching
particles from near a black hole
Sometimes scientists get a two-for-one kind of
deal when they’re looking for black holes. Our colleagues at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory
actually caught a particle from a blazar 4 billion light-years
away. IceCube lies a mile under the ice in Antarctica and
uses the ice itself to detect neutrinos, tiny speedy particles that weigh
almost nothing and rarely interact with anything. When IceCube caught a
super-high-energy neutrino and traced its origin to a specific area of the sky,
they turned to the astronomical community to pinpoint the source.
Our Fermi spacecraft scans the entire sky
about every three hours and for months it had observed a blazar producing more
gamma rays than usual. Flaring is a
common characteristic in blazars, so this didn’t attract
special attention. But when the alert from IceCube came through, scientists
realized the neutrino and the gamma rays came from the same patch of sky! This
method of using two or more kinds of signals to learn about one event or object
is called multimessenger astronomy, and it’s helping us learn a lot about the
universe.

-waikiki was once a taro patch that fed all the native hawaiians on that side of the island.
-oahus current population numbers were once all native hawaiians. Now they comprise less than 5% of it.
-native hawaiians comprise less than 15% of the total population of hawaii but are most of the homeless and well over half the prison populace over non-violent petty offenses.
-native hawaiians have the lowest life expectancy, lowest income and least chances for education out of damn near all ethnic groups in the u.s.
-hawaii is stolen.
Living and working in the Waikiki is so sad sometimes for this reason. Especially when people claim that it’s a fake Hawai’i. Like, all of Hawai’i is the real Hawai’i and people need to put some respect on the stories of stolen lands like these.
Can we address the fact that people with good parents get super offended when you explain how awful yours were? Saying things like “your parents would do anything for you”, or “you’re lucky they gave you a roof. Be grateful”. Nope. No you are not going to guilt me into thinking abuse was okay just because they met the basic requirements for the care of a child.
It’s wonderful that your parents are great and would do anything for you. But that statistic does not apply to every parent, and it’s so invalidating and dangerous to imply that, so stop. Think, really deeply think about what I’m saying and why.
Totally agree that victim-shaming is disgusting and never okay!!!!
But just an important heads-up: people who get defensive, i.e. uncomfortable, in any way when you tell them about your abusive parents, are abused themselves without knowing it.
Someone who REALLY had good parents would have absolutely no reason to get angry at you for venting about your abuse. Why should they?
The only explanation for people saying things like this is that it makes them extremely uncomfortable, because it forces them to look at their own parents. Another person’s abuse always triggers an emotional flashback to your own abuse. For example, if someone complains how their parents got angry at them for crying, it would immediately make them think/feel of how they feel when they cry, i.e. what their parents taught them about crying through their reaction to them crying.
I know it’s a really unknown fact that most people suffer from emotional abuse, but it really is part of our culture. How people react to your trauma is a good way of telling how much they know about their own trauma (not saying that people who react compassionately to you aren’t traumatised – they either have experience in this (which might stem from their own abuse too!) and/or they already know about their own trauma. Only asking them directly will of course give you the truth.).
But yeah – people with good parents don’t say such things. It sounds like they are just repeating what their own abusive parents would say.
