#To Ukraine

what's incredible about these maps is how hard western euros will cope at the idea that their enlightened and superior society could ever be worse than *flips through notebook* those uncivilized lesser slavic poles and ukrainians. russians and croats also are lying too.

what's funny is that this yearly EU study is conducted in such a way that literally accounts for bias in reporting and cultural stigma, yet still they will cope and are unable to consider that based social democrat scandinavian finns beat their wives more than poles

(don't look at spousal murder rates in scandinavia ha ha)

There is an awful tendency in human nature to sometimes put the burden on the victim instead of the perpetrator. Like, you cannot be punished unless you must've done something wrong. It is perhaps an instnct but it doesn't work in a world that is full of abusers. Abusers may blame their victim but they really have no "good" reason for abuse. They may disguise it as punishment but it's really only done to boost their own egos-- a very evil thing to cause pain to make yourself feel better. There is no justification for this. And when people say the victim was in some way "asking for it" or they made a mistake that put them in thr path of the abuser so they in some way "deserve" it-- no. It is always the fault of the abuser. They could easily avoid such things. There is no excuse for such behavior. We must not enable abuse by loading more shame on the victim rather rather the abuser. It's the victim who was traumatized, the victim who needs help, who needs all the help they can get, not dismissed, not made fun of, not left in a place where the abuser can keep hurting them.

There seems to be a general malaise on most of Tumblr about TikTok getting banned in the United States.

I understand the problems, "brain rot", whatever but- A government banning a social media app that opened the world for many people is legitimately scary and upsetting. Say what you want but, there are MANY global and local issues that would not have gotten the same traction, recognition, and outreach without TikTok.

And then add to this that Meta/Facebook was one the largest lobbyists working to get TikTok banned... Like- I think folks should be more concerned about the implications of what this means, especially since the ban goes into effect the day before inauguration.

So russian and belarusian athletes are banned from competing under their countries' flag for the war in Ukraine but Isreali athletes are still allowed to compete under Isreali's flag despite Isreal's genocide being 4 times as deadly as the Ukrainian invasion?? Fuck Isreal. Fuck Russia. Fuck the Olympic Committee. Free Palestine. Free Ukraine.

You just know the NYT has a “style guide” for this sort of thing.

Maybe someone there should get fed up and leak it.

"Oh the media being biased/silent on Gaza is a conspiracy theory"

I am a literal journalist and this is what happened when I pitched an article to a magazine I write for:

We covered conflict before. We denounced PMs' positions as wrong before. But this is where the editor balks - anything that makes it look even vaguely like we might, possibly, support Gaza. Even if the article itself would not have been an opinion piece, but a news feature about events on the ground.

We have free press, baby! But avoid the matter entirely if you can. It's delicate and depressing, why would you talk about it? Don't rock the boat. Be quiet. You don't need to go there.

Self-censorship is alive and well.
