Mike Mitchell's Tumblr of Amazing Things.

I try to keep my tumblr as light hearted as possible, but once in a while I feel compelled to share things of a heavier caliber. I’m very lucky to have a relatively safe and happy life, and it’s easy to lose perspective.

Watch this video (from 1:45) that came out of Daraya, Syria yesterday and try your hardest to place as much value in the life of the cameraman as you do your own. There’s no gore, death, etc, but this is still one of the most terrifying and shocking things I’ve ever seen. 

Syrian rebels go to grab their weapons after hearing a tank is nearby, only to be killed by that tank seconds later. 

What an intense, and deeply saddening photo. I recommend seeing the entire series. It took me a while to completely digest them. 

Big props to Tracey Shelton for putting her life on the line to let the world know what is really happening in Syria.
