Currently listening to: Running Wild – 진 (Jin from BTS)

We’ll be running wild
Loving ’til the sun is out
Running ’til there’s nothing left
‘Til our last breath

I’m still on the fence about going to Jin’s concert. If I do go, I’m def wearing my UofM sweatshirt that’s identical to the one he’s rockin’ in the mv. I saw the setlist and there are a few BTS songs on there. I’m curious if any of the BTS members will show up to his concert.

Anyway, not long after hearing about the India Air plane crash, I woke up to even more heavy news—escalating conflict between Iran and Israel. Is this going to be WW3? At this point, I’m ready for a redo of 2025 or the rapture. Earth is getting ratchet AF.

For fuck’s sake. I watched the footage of the strikes and I’m still trying to process it. There aren’t even words for how frightening it is. Explosions lighting up the sky, cities on edge… and what happened to Israel’s Iron Dome? Did it get disabled somehow? It’s so surreal.

Also, where is the UN in all of this? What are they actually doing besides releasing statements? And 47—how is he claiming he can broker some miracle peace deal when he couldn’t even wrap up the Russia-Ukraine war in the timeframe he bragged about?

Truthfully, none of this was really covered in-depth during my world history classes. We glossed over so much. I don’t know if this is purely religious, political, territorial—or a mix of everything. I’m confused who the allies are for both countries because I thought Saudi Arabia would side with Iran but then I read online that they were backing up Israel? I also find myself not trusting much of the news media anymore either. I definitely can’t trust IG or TikTok.

If anyone understands any of this, please comment. I truly want to comprehend this not for myself but also for my patients because I get the feeling come Monday, I’ll have a different set of patient demographics who will need to talk/vent about what is going on with their countries/people.

P.S. don’t even get me started on what happened in Minnesota. What the actual fuck? The country has gone feral.

    From what I know, Israel is trying to blow up nuclear capabilities in Iran, bombs, and missiles. They may go after a little more, but that is what I heard.

      How come the UN isn’t handling this situation?

      1. Jesse Pallante Avatar

        They don’t want to get involved in nations that are not part of the un such as Iran. They are not part of the un. Israel started it. They take responsibility for the war.

    I feel you, Rojie. I’m not too worried about this, as my vibration is quite ok. I think it is high, but that may not be the case. It may be the numbing effects of my medication.
    The universe doesn’t give you problems. It gives you challenges. But things are very peaceful here in Brisbane. I am praying for the world, my friend. I pray you are always safe.

    Ground News is good Rojie!! Neil DeGrasse Tyson push it, I got app, bought service, it gives you the same story from many different sources so that you can check all that out, %s, so for media I think it’s pretty good

    1. justrojie Avatar

      I think the media here is trash. Everything reported is slanted and biased like no other

    Seriously, there’s so much madness running around.
    If you want to understand the Palestine-Israel conflict, you’d have to go way, way back. I’m not sure if the Balfour Declaration is enough to start with but that is part of the mess now. There’s a guy who did a podcast narrating the history of this, it is hours and hours long.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      That’s too many hours 😂

      1. ibarynt Avatar

        A lot, you’d have to listen bit by bit.

        1. justrojie Avatar

          Idk if I can listen to someone talk that long 🤣

          1. ibarynt Avatar

            True, it has to be a topic that one is truly interested in.

    1. justrojie Avatar

    Also Tik toc insta is i think spur of the m9ment anything opinion sometimes legit sometimes not right, great vid shots but its geared from a usually 1 person’s perception i find, i dont know, i dont always trust the news on these two apps me unless it obviously a refeed from a major agency and they have their agenda too

    1. justrojie Avatar

      Exactly!!

    The world news feels depressing; that’s why I don’t watch it. For me, it’s better to read it than to watch it. I fervently pray for peace in the world. I can’t think of the lives of the innocents.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      It’s sad that innocent people become collateral damage

    Your post captures exactly how overwhelming and surreal the world feels right now.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      It’s very perplexing to me

    seriously! what happened to State Rep. Hortman and State Sen. Hoffman…i just have no words. I am really saddened about it. Mike

    1. justrojie Avatar

      It’s a dumpster fire for sure

    The country has always been feral, it’s just more accessible these days.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      They’re doing too much…

      1. Matt Avatar

        Right but what I’m saying is pre-internet easily accessible by your phone as a recording device. Shit went down all the time and in Government behind closed doors. Presidents/Admins of the past were all about coverup…47 is all about flaunt and in your face with no cares.

          I feel like he’s emblazoned

    💜🙏 Let Suga be there… or non? He is still in the military.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      He’ll be out soon!!

    All of this global trauma is going to have to come to a head I fear before any of it can be resolved.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      Time to buckle up then

    Thank YOU Mr. President. Iran looks more and more like Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, and the Houthis. Burn baby burn.
