Sorry for serious post.

But if you're in the UK, please share and sign this. It's a serious violation of people's rights, is going to screw over a bunch of people who've done nothing wrong, and is likely the thin edge for more extreme surveillance powers.

Sorry for the lack of funnies, but I do have a large audience so I may as well use it.

Jokes will resume shortly

So I am, once again, waiting on hold with the government, as it is time for the Yearly Groveling For Scraps

this year it is particularly annoying, because a) they've instituted a 'callback' feature that I didn't realize doesn't actually work for three fucking days

and b) one of their robot voices telling you about how The App Is Easy And Free sounds just enough like one of the generic Skyrim Guard voices that I keep expecting him to tell me that the Jarl wants me to kill a bunch of bandits

Repost from @muslimciviccoalition:

Honor Wadee’s memory and take a stand against all hate. Urge your senator to support the Wadee Resolution!

Wadee AlFayoumi, a six-year-old Palestinian Muslim American, was the first victim in the U.S. following the events of October 2023.

Misinformation, systemic discrimination, and dehumanizing rhetoric lead to increased hate crimes targeting Palestinian Americans and other communities.

About the mentally disabled Palestinians murdered

I strongly support spreading awareness and honouring the memory of disabled Palestinians killed in the genocide. I am not at all against mentioning their identity as disabled people, because a lot of the time it is related to their deaths.

But please, I am begging you, be respectful.

Eyad Al-Hallaq was a 32 year old Palestinian Deaf Autistic man. He was murdered on his way to his school, the Elwyn El Quds center, which provides services for both disabled children and disabled adults. An Israeli officer shot him dead on the 30th of May in 2020, and then claimed he thought he was trying to murder a woman who was screaming. I have also seen it be claimed the officer thought he was a terrorist because he was wearing gloves.

Some people, while trying to honestly spread awareness, have used extremely disrespectful and infantilising language to describe him, repeating claims he had "the mental capacity of an 8 year old" and saying that his doctor said that, when it was not.

This is never an acceptable way to describe a 32 year old Autistic. He did not have "the brain of a child", he had the brain of a Deaf Autistic adult. This is extremely disrespectful to Eyad Al-Hallaq, and does him no favours, especially when such rhetoric has been used to justify the murder of Autistics. Eyad Al-Hallaq being an adult man should not make him less of a victim- not only is insisting on treating him like a child disrespectful and ableist, it perpetuates the idea that Palestinian men are not victims.

We should remember Eyad Al-Hallaq. We should remember his identity as a Deaf Palestinian Autistic. And we should remember him in a respectful way.

Rest in power, Eyad Al-Hallaq.

what if we gave the comittee some weed. Would that be a bad idea. I think it would be funny

It'd either make things a thousand times better or a million times worse. Do we really want to take that risk?

And no, technology cannot replace every single thing a service dog does. For example technology would not be able to distinguish between disassociation and just zoning out.

Having a rare moment of pride about (some of) my country right now. Since last weekend England (and also Belfast) has been going insane with racist and islamophobic rioting, and another explosion of disorder was expected last night, but instead cities were flooded with counter-protestors forming shields around potential targets and barely any rioters showed up almost everywhere.

every time i see someone claim the ancients were a magical indigenous utopia to aspire to (with 'a few little problems'), and any criticism of them as a society is apologia for native genocide, i clutch my head in agony. never change, twitter
