do you know how many of those are off anon? :)

If this is you; a coward who cant even share their screen name to the person you're harassing; a performative cog who thinks that yelling at people online is activism; the guy at a rally with people holding nazi flags that you haven't kicked out yet because they're 'with you' on a cause; a strange little man who daily checks on what the jew might have said about them now like a weird stalker; then congratulations! you've committed a hate crime! (confetti) (puts mic to your klu klux klan covered face) how do you feel?

I am proud to be Jewish, and I am proud to be religious, and I am proud to be the descendant and representative of a nation that has persevered throughout history. I'm honored to receive youre disgusting, obscene, crass, and dehumanizing messages, as its a sign to me that no matter what i'd do, im first and foremost a jew. my very existence offends you, and thats very sad. FOR YOU! LOL.

I'm a Jew and I'm Proud.

anyways go look at my art and my queer little guys and maybe send me something nice <3 have a great day :3

If anyone refuses to believe Elon’s Nazi Salute just show them this:

And remember kids, this fight isn’t left vs right. This is citizens vs extremism. Don’t stand by. Don’t let them take this country so easily.

twitter activists need a fucking reset because what do you mean half of them are insisting chappell roan supports trump because she said she's not the person to turn to for all your political answers. you think the lesbian drag queen who openly supports trans rights, used her Grammy's speech to advocate for better healthcare in her industry, and fundraised for Palestine throughout her tour via merch sales is a trumpie? what do these people think activism is? just retweeting infographics to make you feel better about yourself? getting Activism Points from your followers while not actually contributing anything to the cause other than hating on people who don't use the exact words you want them to, despite them actually doing stuff for the cause?

I think people are looking for Activism Ways to hate a person and are forgetting that you can dislike objectively good people. sometimes you just don't fuck with someone and that's okay!

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment! This hasn't received much media attention yet, so now's our chance to flood it with support for coverage of gender-affirming care!

"In recent years, left social movements have won huge victories in transforming the way we talk about all kinds of issues—billionaires and oligarchic rule, climate breakdown, white supremacy, prison abolition, gender identity, Palestinian rights, sexual violence—and I have to believe that those changes represent real victories, that they matter. And yet, on almost every front, tangible ground is being lost. Changing the discourse did not prevent the world's ten richest men from doubling their collective fortunes from $700 billion to $1.5 trillion in the first two years of the pandemic; it did not stop police forces from increasing their budgets while teachers have to pay for basic supplies out of pocket; it did not prevent fossil fuel companies from collecting more billions in subsidies and new permits; it did not prevent the Israeli police forces from attacking the funeral of the revered Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh after a bullet that was almost certainly fired by an Israeli soldier took her life.

"We did change the discourse...," a friend remarked to me the other day, and then the thought trailed off. We did. But we appear to have done it at the precise moment when words and ideas underwent a radical currency devaluation, a crash connected, in ways we have barely begun to understand, to the torrent of words in which we are swimming on those screens.

Actually despise how I can’t ask for pro-vegan resources or articles without being bombarded by animal gore videos and proceed to be insulted for not wanting to see them… when I’m already vegetarian and pro-animal rights.

“If you don’t watch the videos you’re hiding from the truth!” You know it’s entirely possible to inform someone of something without forcing them to witness traumatising content right. I’ve managed to stop eating meat and reduce my animal product usage for 7 years all without sitting through Dominion or a single animal gore video.

I really don’t think I’m crazy for wanting some resources I can send people without forcing them to watch extremely upsetting content and it’s such a weird Mind Police mindset to think otherwise. Would you send someone rape and torture and murder videos to inform them about war or fascism? Who am I kidding, some of you probably would. This strange martyr mindset of “they’re suffering so I have to make myself suffer by deliberately triggering myself” has got to stop.

Newsflash! The vast majority of people are not going to watch extremely distressing content you send them and if you try to force them to you’re probably not going to convince them of anything other than that you’re a nasty vile cunt. I don’t care how much of an annoying know-it-all brat someone is when they’re against something or uninformed about it, you don’t do that to them. Where is the humanity

DO NOT DO THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!!!

Make sure you DO NOT use a vpn and private browser!!

REPORT HONEST INFRACTIONS ONLY —> http://enddei.ed.gov <— ASSIST NOTABLE 47th US PRESIDENT

❌ Examples to NOT follow: ❌

The Department of Education worked very hard to make this resource accessible to emails of all origins, including fiction. YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS GENEROUS GIFT!!!!!

Instead, join me in thanking the department for their trust in the current presidential administration, and for their honesty with the public!! The saying usually goes that a hit dog will holler; however, yet another government entity proves that false. When the wannabe-king raises a hand to strike, they roll over regardless of constitutionality, displaying the vibrant yellow and green of their underbelly for all to see. The only morally just option for the American people is to follow suit!!!

Thank you for reading! And remember - COMPLACENCY WITH CRUELTY IS COOL!!!!! 🫡🧑‍⚖️🇺🇸

Every time I reblog something about antisemitism, I wonder if I'm going to lose followers over it. Every time I see something pro-Palestine I wonder if OP is antisemitic or if it's safe to reblog (unless I know OP is Jewish). And I keep spiraling deeper into worry about how much do I Actually care about this, about anything else? because online spaces make you feel like if you're not talking about something you don't care, but I can't flood my online space with current events if I want it to be a pleasant escape, but then the few things I do choose to share feel like so much of a Statement

It's exhausting

I don't know if i can properly articulate my frustrations with the all the "get offline" rhetoric re: online activism and advocacy, specifically surrounding covid and I'm confident that it's already been said better by someone else, but I'm still gonna try.

do people not understand that online is all some people have? it's the community they can access. it's the activism and advocacy they CAN do? for a myriad of reasons. but most notably because offline community is UNSAFE for them?

the dismissal of online advocacy and community and activism misses the mark so hard and is deeply ableist and it sucks so much when the most trusted sources of leftist organizing and education let themselves fall into that same trap. it's bad enough that they've decided that covid (and long covid) are no longer concerns for THEM personally, but it's entirely next level when they also dismiss what people are able to build for themselves in the rubble left behind.

if what you mean is "seek other voices and opinions and thoughts" then SAY that.

yes, I used to be deep in my one little corner of the internet and held some deeply isolating and radical (not in a good way) beliefs. But i sought a new home for myself (here) and I've been able to inform what I see there with what I see there with other things i intentionally seek out and I can build a well-rounded belief system accordingly.

but i didn't need to "get offline" or "touch grass" for that.

"I love how conveniently most Homestuck "antis" ignore Meenvris being canon, and how Meenah is adored by them" Grown women grooming girls is okay because lesbians need more rep! /s God. These people fucking hated Hussie for wanting to get with Vriska until Hussie started pretending to be clown gender and made himself into a woman in pesterquest. (and I've seen them say that the one shit quarantine clown game was Hussie's way of coming out as a trans woman.) Meenah and Hussie alike get away with wanting to fingerbang Vriksa because theyre queer enough to this stupid ass audience. It just proves that the main focus of the HS fanbase is on bullying those that don't have their shit taste. And their shit taste has nothing to do with looking out for minorities or actual gay people. They're losers who buy their own virtuous BS and made fandom an unlikeable hellscape for the rest of us. They run on hate, not on logic. If anyone would have some magic time machine and went back to tell these "fans" 20 years ago that men would be allowed in women's bathrooms, they would have freaked shit. Now they pretend to give a shit about trans people. It's all an ego driven agenda to them so they change their views on a dime. If you don't believe me look up how antisemitic people are now because of a stupid fucking terrorist group killing Jewish people and then hid behind Palestinians. (It's Hamas that's shit here. But I wouldn't be shocked if the HS fans support Hamas just like Starbuck's Union on X did. Which was what started the boycotting starbucks trend, that Starbuck's actually corp didn't want their union to support terroist acts.) In 2020 these HS fans were all about "punching nazis." They don't care about Jewish people. If they did they wouldn't be shitting all over them openly now. They're just people filled with hate that are using anything they can find as a shield so there is no making sense of anything they're doing. You can't argue with an idoit and no poking holes in their logic will change. They're just going to drag you down with their stupid arguments and they will say the most sexist things about women to justify John being June. And they will morph character's personalities to force ships that make no sense to be canon. I keep trying to ignore these types, but it's hard to not get angry. They make the causes they stand for look like jokes. And I do care about women and children living in Palestine, but Queers for Palastine is the funniest fucking thing I've heard in years. It's like something you'd hear in the most offensive comedy special ever made. Exactly like the Black White Supremacist in Chappelle's Show.

I couldn't have said it any better. Thank you, Anon!
