You know just how long 2018 has been? You know how long?
Did you even remember there was an Olympic games this year? Because I didn’t. I thought oh, last year. No. There was a winter Olympics in Korea and I forgot about it.
You know how long this year has been? The tide pod thing happened in January of this year
wow this sentinel island news story really blew up on social media. american dude, possibly a missionary, travels to meet a community that historically has resisted contact from outsiders and ends up getting himself killed….
i mean aside from the fact that he could have wiped out the whole community by bringing them in contact with diseases that have no immunity for, he also had zero concerns for his own safety and welfare?? apparently he got shot with arrows the first time, returned to his boat, and then at night decided he would TRY AGAIN like what a fucking idiot
He deserved to die imo, people including anthropologists have died trying to make contact before…and it was made illegal to contact the people of Sentinel Island in 2006… I have no qualms
he really was lost in the colonizer sauce like he thought he could win those people over by bringing a soccer ball and scissors like the fact that he had to bribe someone to take him there in the first place should’ve told him not to do it but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
What is the point of trying to go to an unconnected people anyway and with a fucking Bible when they speak a dead language and have been chilling for thousands of years colonizers are crazy he got what he was asking for he went to see Jesus
“The British colonial occupation of the Andaman Islands decimated the tribes living there, wiping out thousands of tribespeople, and only a fraction of the original population now survive. So the Sentinelese fear of outsiders is very understandable.”

“It’s not impossible that the Sentinelese have just been infected by deadly pathogens to which they have no immunity, with the potential to wipe out the entire tribe,” said Mr Corry.
just want to highlight the history of the situation and the potential consequences for the people this man has endangered
“This is my letter of love to all my LGBTQ fans. Continuously throughout my career, you’ve always been so vocal about what a positive impact I’ve had on you – that I’ve instilled joy, hope and love in you at times when there was none. That my music is an inspiration. That my story gives you hope.
But I have a secret to share with you. You see, it’s actually you that lifts me up. The unwavering loyalty. the lack of judgment. The unapologetic truth. Acceptance! Your stories are what inspire me, bring me joy and make me and my sons strive to be better people.
