If U.S. diplomacy with China falls apart, it could have major ramifications

  • Trump continued to needle at China Sunday by openly questioning the so-called “one China policy” on Fox News.
  • China then issued a stern rebuke to Trump’s comments early Monday through its foreign minister.
  • “I don’t know why we have to be bound by a one China policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things, including trade,” Trump said Sunday, adding, “I don’t want China dictating to me.”
  • That provocative language prompted a Monday editorial in China’s state-run newspaper describing Trump’s diplomacy as “ignorant as a child.”
  • On Dec. 8, China flew a long-range nuclear bomber outside of the nation for the first time since the Taiwan phone call — reportedly a symbolic show of strength.
  • The threat of trade war with China is a real risk to Americans, experts warn.
  • Policy analysts also warn that military conflict could be on the table if aggression between China and the U.S. escalates further. Read more

drop whatever you’re doing right now and climb a tree

its pitch black outside, and freezing cold. I think ill climb a tree tomorrow

you climb that fuckin tree right now

I’ve literally never seen this post on my dash when it is not after dark and cold as balls. I’m beginning to think this is a conspiracy to get us eaten by some nocturnal tree demon.

I laughed, but then realized it’s cold as balls and dark outside…

Its 3pm, sunny, and 60F (so pretty warm for me).

But I am at work. Cannot go climb any trees. Itll be dark and probably cold by the time Im off.

I think the ratio of people seeing this on dark cold nights has to do with the fact that this likely is more relevant in winter, thus gets more reblogs, and a lot of tumblr users browse the site later afternoon/night.

That’s all I could make out. If anyone else wants to add what they can see, feel free to do so.

This is a serious breach of classified information handling. I hope he gets fired for this! Better people have been fired for less (and lost an election)

I tried this in the past and failed pretty spectacularly (I literally raised $1 overall attempting this twice), but I saw other way better and more famous than me people have success with donation streams and thought that I might be able to at least raise like $50 because then at least I’m doing something instead of being useless because I’m too poor to donate myself lol

Anyways, there’s this charity organization called Extra Life that has gamers raise money for Children’s Hospitals by doing gaming marathons. You raise donations, and marathon game over 24 hours on a stream.

Here’s my donation page. I’m going to do my marathon stream from 6pm on Thursday, December 29th, to 6pm on Friday, December 30th.

If you cant donate, please at least repost this. The main way to succeed for these sorts of things is networking, so reposts will help more people see this.

ALL donations go directly to the charity, I get none of this money. The hospital I’m supporting is the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital.

I really want to try to raise at least $50. The minimum Extra Life allows you to put as your goal is $100, but… I tried doing gaming Extra Life marathons twice before and literally only raised $1 total, which felt pretty pathetic… so I want to at least feel like I’m making a tiny bit of difference, but I dont think $100 if possible for me since I dont really have a large following and Im not popular or anything… But the more reposts this gets, the more likely it is that I can at least reach $50.

Edit: Had to change start time, forgot I had an appointment lol
