First They Came

2025/1/19 Edited to

... Read moreThe phrase 'First They Came' references a poignant poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller that underscores the dangers of apathy in the face of oppression. In this context, it's vital to recognize how history is repeating itself in various forms today, with rising intolerance and xenophobia across the globe. In light of contemporary events, it’s essential to foster discussions around civic responsibility and the importance of standing in solidarity with marginalized groups. Engaging in activism and enlightening ourselves about political landscapes can empower us to challenge injustice. The fight against fascism requires collective action and education. By remembering history, we can prevent society from falling into complacency again. Beyond hashtags like #politics and #fightfascism lie deeper struggles that need our attention—our voice matters, and history shows us precisely what happens when we remain silent.

Four holographic Pokémon cards displayed on a pink blanket. They include Terapagos ex, Cinderace ex, Psyduck, and Galvantula ex, all in protective sleeves, showcasing recent rare pulls from pack openings.
A close-up of the Terapagos ex Pokémon card, held in a hand. This full-art, holographic card features Terapagos in a vibrant, stained-glass-like design, highlighted as a rare pull.
A close-up of the Galvantula ex Pokémon card, held in a hand. This full-art, holographic card depicts Galvantula with a sparkling, multi-colored, crystalline body.
these came from my first ever pack openings🫣
i opened my first 9 packs and this is what i pulled, the Terapagos is apparently one of the hardest cards to pull from that set😭 (im new to this game and card collecting lol) My favorite one has to be the Psyduck though✨ Which one is your guises favorite? #pokemoncards #pokemon #pulls

nail tip: when applying rhinestones use a glitter gel liner to do for a frenchie and then apply rhinestones. it makes it look so much better. these came out sooo good. if they weren't so long i would've kept them on. definitely a set i would redo! #polygelnails #polygel #nailinspo
