ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

a really great organization that i don't see any posts about here is HEAL palestine. it was founded by steve sosebee, who was a founding president of the PCRF before leaving in late 2023 to refocus his efforts on heal palestine to better meet the needs of palestinians impacted by the genocide. the organization provides palestinians in gaza with food, clean water, shelters, "makeshift classrooms," and even medical evacuation for some children when it's possible--their services are pretty wide.
you can donate here if you would like to send a tax-deductible donation to an organization. also, i don't think any evacuations are possible right now, but if you're in the united states and you'd like to welcome medically evacuated children in the future, i highly recommend signing up for their newsletter or following them on social media so you can stay updated in case any children evacuated by HEAL come to your area for treatment. welcoming these kids at the airport is a really moving way to provide them with moral support, entirely for free.

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.
"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.
"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.
"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

Dear Mr J,
Because of the way you speak here, I forget that you have the voice of a little cat! When I think of you speaking to your landlady, I imagine a very proper old man voice, not a soft little meow!
I want you not to forget my voice because it is quite bad if I said those are fuckin' silly hats that she made with an old man voice... what a lack of the cuteness...

I think now is a good time for us all to review the principle of Jury Nullification.
Jury Nullification is when a jury finds a defendant Not Guilty even though they (perhaps secretly) believe them to be guilty.
In the United States, this has come up primarily in the case of 'escaped slave laws'. Good people are not willing to send formerly enslaved people back to their captors.
Governments hate this sort of behavior. But it's hard to stop. How have they tried?
1. They keep it secret. Jurors are not informed of this possibility. Activists who talk to jurors in front of courthouses have been arrested.
2. Jury Selection. Anyone who brings up nullification in jury selection gets removed. All jurors musts agree to "accept as correct the rulings and instructions of the law as provided by the judge." But they can't stop you from changing your mind.
3. Declare a Mistrial. If the defense or anyone else mentions nullification, they can scrub the whole thing and try again with a fresh jury. They will also find excuses to strike individual jurors if they need to.
4. They Flat Out Lie to You. Quoting Wikipedia here:
In 2017, a jury was instructed: "You cannot substitute your sense of justice, whatever that means, for your duty to follow the law, whether you agree with it or not. It is not for you to determine whether the law is just or whether the law is unjust. That cannot be your task. There is no such thing as valid jury nullification. You would violate your oath and the law if you willfully brought a verdict contrary to the law given to you in this case." The Ninth Circuit upheld the first three sentences of the jury's instruction and overruled the remainder but deemed that instruction a harmless error and affirmed the conviction.[67]
So expect scary people to tell you that you are breaking the law if don't give the verdict they want you to give.
But you don't have to do what they tell you to. If you find yourself on a jury you can come to whatever conclusions your conscience demands.
Maybe that bag of weed looks like oregano to you. Maybe that gun looks like a prop. Maybe the cop or the prosecutor seems shifty. Perhaps the defendant just has an honest face.
You can always find a reasonable doubt. Fuck you I won't do what you tell me to.

Posting faggot and queer like 2am gunshots to keep property values on my blog low and scare away assimilationist LGBTs who want to replace my empty lot full of native wildflowers with a 5-over-1 because they're too traumatized by their upbringing to accept the reality of our diverse marginalized community

The Polk County Sheriff's Office deliberately misled people into believing that Briana Boston had been released without charges. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

Count piercings that have closed up (and double-count them if you went to a piercing place to get them re-pierced)
Use your own judgement on what "a piercing" is. but generally im aiming at "number of times a piercing needle or gun has been used on you, intentionally, for aesthetic purposes"
feel free to give the where/when breakdown in the tags u want also?
#none forever and ever#i was a small child who saw the whole situation and said putting holes in my skin for fun? no thanks!#and no amount of persuading would budge me. offered to have it done alongside my sister#and i stood there like its putting. a Hole. in my SKIN?????? NO????#small autistic child who was convinced the world has gone mad. out here making holes in skin that does not like having holes in it.#for aesthetics!#my best friend at the time had a piercing get super infected so i felt extra justified#earrings are very cute but i still refuse. i do not want the holes in skin. not even rational at this point#also the stim would not be wise. i dont trust myself with a weird texture on my head. id fuck it up.#imagining the stim on some of them (nose and especially TONGUE???) makes my autistic ass cry. id lose it. yall are too powerful
