"nuh uh, it all happened spontaneously because an Israeli ripped down a Palestinian flag 😁😁😁😁😍😍😍😍😍" lol.

Will one of you deranged fucking imbeciles please explain to me why you have no problem with thousands of jihadis showing up in taxis with weapons en masse - -- to enact a Jew Hunt in their own words, organized by Hamas with help from the Dutch police -- to curb stomp a 14 year old?

I'm dying to uncover the absolutely riveting rationale behind this one. Funnily enough I had to post this as its own post bc the person who originally said that shit to me blocked me without comment after asking for SoUrCeS that it was premeditated

then ranted, "oh you can't call me antisemitic, Im just telling it like it is, Israelis are so used to nobody ever telling them they love raping Gazan babies or whatever,,,,,"

hey come back, I just wanna talk

(Images from @kelluinox sorry had to repost Tumblr being a shit. Also I copy and pasted the first part and it got all fucked up lol)

Hey I found ur art uncredited on tik Tok

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMreQSnaw/

They said they "found it on Reddit" so they just decided to steal it and post it ig?? Ugh!!

Wow, that's a whole other repost to the one I thought it was going to be, lol. It's been reposted to TikTok once before, and I'm also not surprised this person got it from Reddit, where I doubt I was credited either.

At the end of the day I appreciate the heads up but there's nothing I can really do about it. The most helpful thing anyone can do is to leave comments on the reposts to provide credit,* because if artists ever try and comment then we pretty invariably get attacked. Don't be mean or aggressive, that just builds their animosity towards the artists, but I do think people respond positively to outside pressure to do the right thing 🤷

*Remember to make sure there's enough context - eg. something like "art by @ landegart on Twitter" is more searchable/useful than "artist is Landeg" to someone on TikTok who has no idea who I am haha

My thoughts on Cishet White Women as a ‘Former’ Cishet White Woman

I have been grappling with this since the election- this question of ‘Why do so many cishet white women betray their community this way?’- and I’m tried to some up my understandings in words.

Cishet white women have never had to grapple with the fact that the world does not want them here.

As a queer, trans, disabled person I realized in my mid teens that millions of people would rather I not exist than have a place in society. This realization sparked in me a deep desire to support the people around me who faced this same reality.

POC, queer, trans, and disabled (as well as many other groups) people have constantly had it thrown in our face that we are not welcome here. All of our communities have faced extreme violence (especially black people), threatening our existence within the world.

However, with cishet white women, they have always had a place in this world. Despite women being constantly devalued by men, men have always said that there is a role for women: baby-maker, pleasure provider, caretaker. There has been no need to grapple with the fact that they have been told they shouldn’t exist. Sure their rights are being taken, but their lives aren’t. There will be no mass eradication of white women, because white women have a role in society.

As a white AFAB person, I did not grasp the depth of the mistreatment of other communities until I realized my own queerness and the depth of the mistreatment of my own community. If you have not had to grapple with that, why would you care about intersectionality? (/sar) I will be fine, you should be fine too! (/sar)

Empathy for people who are systemically made to be perceived as ‘other’ is not something white people are taught. We are taught the opposite and to realize that, a lot of the time you have to realize that you are ‘other’ as well. It is a sad truth, but one nonetheless.

So, cishet white women, what can you do? If there is one thing I can urge other white people to do, it is to do your own research and your own internalized exploration of your internal bigotry. Do not rely on minorities (specifically POC) to teach you this stuff, but do listen when they offer their incredibly necessary view point.

This is probably rambling but I couldn’t help but think about why someone could hate me and millions of other minorities so much as to vote for that orange man

Ok so… things are bad… real bad…

But I’m not going quietly. I am not just gonna curl up and pretend I don’t exist. I may not comment on politics much, but a reminder that I’m here no matter what those fucks on Capitol Hill say is political enough, I guess. My name is Natalie. I am me. I am a woman. No executive order can change that.

For Christmas, I was gifted a homemade trans pride pin by my grandmother, a devout Christian I hadn’t expected to support me but turned out being one of my biggest supporters. I will be wearing that as a fixture of every outfit I wear out of the house from here on out. I hope that sign brings some hope to other trans people in my area, that we aren’t gone, that we are still here. I am still here. It may be dangerous, but it is more dangerous for trans people to become something… other, something that is somewhere else, not a part of life. I will stay here and a part of people’s lives as a trans woman.

I am a Metroid nerd at heart, so I’ll leave you all with some Chozo.

Yall this is not the post I wanted to make wth- Please read all of the images!!!

GUYS WHY IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST IN POWER????????

ITS TIME TO (PEACEFULLY) PROTEST!!!!!

REMEMBER PROTEST SAFETY:

Wear gas masks because of tear gas and because this is a surveillance state

Turn your location off so ppl cant track you

If the police get you, REMEMBER YOUR MIRANDA RIGHTS! Even if those are taken away, SAY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Anything can be taken in any way with them.

If there is more, please dont hesitate to add on to what I'm saying!!!

Also dont let them say this is because of pro-palestinian ppl not voting or smth. The Democratic party and the Republican party sre the same as they are different. Both want division and hate but the blue party puts sweet icing and sprinkles on it.

But the most important thing to remember is:

No matter how hopeless the situation seems, KEEP FIGHTING! Don't stop loving the stranger next to you, protest and take action!!!! RUN FOR PRESIDENT! Change the world! You can say: "But I'm just one person" and one person can influence millions and billions. We can and will change our world for the better! This is temporary. We just have to fight for it!

ALSOOOO please do NOT riot. If you (the person reading this) are Black or Latino, especially if u are a woman, we already have the "aggressive and unruly" stereotype to us. No amount of violence and fear can change that.

Well TYSM FOR READING!!! Please reblog and repost everywhere.

And please remember, the most powerful weapon in the face of the hate we see around us is JOY!!! Of course you have every right to feel sad and anxious about this but don't let your fears control you, yk?

Nothing funnier to me than a fansite that horrifically white washes pics of the guys until they genuinely look like walking corpses but then will have DO NOT EDIT in all their captions like baby.... if there's anyone here who should have the editing software taken away, it's you...

If you love our planet, stop using ai.

this is a topic I tiptoe around a LOT considering for a while, I used ai. I’d use c.ai, I used grammarly generative ai, and it’s important to know the environmental repercussions of ai. Especially now that America (one of the biggest producers of greenhouse gasses) has pulled from the Paris Peace Agreement.

Rapid development and deployment of powerful generative AI models comes with environmental consequences, including increased electricity demand and water consumption. By 2026, it’s estimated that 4% of electric energy will be ai (for reference, 4% of energy powers ALL of Japan.)

In 2019, University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers trained several large language models and found that training a single AI model can emit over 626,000 pounds of CO2, equivalent to the emissions of five cars over their lifetimes.

A more recent study reported that training GPT-3 with 175 billion parameters consumed 1287 MWh of electricity, and resulted in carbon emissions of 502 metric tons of carbon, equivalent to driving 112 gasoline powered cars for a year.

The more we overshoot what natural processes can remove in a given year, the faster the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide rises. In the 1960s, the global growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide was roughly 0.8± 0.1 ppm per year. Over the next half century, the annual growth rate tripled, reaching 2.4 ppm per year during the 2010s. The annual rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past 60 years is about 100 times faster than previous natural increases, such as those that occurred at the end of the last ice age 11,000-17,000 years ago.

If you use c.ai? Go find a discord server to roleplay in, try finding a community on apps like amino.

There’s other ways, we don’t have to kill our earth like this,

that one specific instagram infographic account the one with the lowercase font + gradient background + random italics... literally peak annoying performative instagram infographics in my humble opinion. i have such an arbitrary hatred for them theyre simply worded so obnoxiously and i'm constantly forced to see them reposted by some of the most annoying politically lukewarm liberals i know 😞💔
