A gentle reminder Gaza has suffered the equivalent of 42,500 Bondi terrorist attacks and 212 September 11s.

This article states that the Israelis attacked the Gaza Strip with brutality and savagery, even committing genocide openly before the entire world, yet no one was able to stop them or hold them accountable immediately. This demonstrates the extent of the brutality, Nazism, and arrogance of the Zionist Israeli occupation. What happened to me is the closest example that indicates the credibility of this news.

[fadel-dani]

This brutal, Nazi occupation knows only destruction and the killing of innocent Palestinians like us. They starved us, killed us, tortured us, and completely destroyed our lives. This genocidal war has lasted for two years and continues to this day.

[fadel-dani]

I am one of the victims of this brutal occupation. They bombed our house while we were inside, and we miraculously survived, but I was injured by shrapnel that remains embedded in my body to this day. This is due to the destruction of all our hospitals by the Nazi-like occupation, the prevention of medical equipment from entering them, and the obstruction of the reconstruction of hospitals in Gaza. Worse still, this brutal, Nazi-like occupation continues to kill, starve, and violate the ceasefire. Yes, even now, as I write these words, the Zionist occupation forces are firing on our tents and anything within their sight. This is horrific and heartbreaking. Save us from this genocide. Please stand with us. Please donate.

[pitbolshevik]

please donate

[fadel-dani]

I implore you to support me and help me raise the necessary funds for my surgery and medication as soon as possible. I was injured when the Nazi occupation army bombed our home over 450 days ago. To this day, I haven't received treatment. Please stand by me; no one can bear the pain I'm experiencing now. Please donate.

[knxfesck]

The elevated coverage of the Bondi beach shooting compared to the active genocide in Gaza only contributes to the normalization of genocide western news outlets have been pushing for years. Do not let yourself fall into believing that the conditions people in Gaza suffer through are normal or acceptable! Donating even just $10 to help Fadel towards recieving medical care will make a difference!

[closet-keys]

It is important to remember that all of this violence, years of continuous and ongoing genocidal atrocity enacted on the people of Gaza, is of human design.

This is not inevitable. It is a series of choices that continues to be made every day by human beings to directly cause suffering, and to look the other way instead of doing anything to prevent or lessen this suffering.

We can choose differently. We can do something to lessen this suffering. Our choices matter. Please help Fadel and his family to survive.

He has been injured from the bombing of his home for a long time now and needs money for surgery.

[sporesgalaxy]

Please help give Fadel and his family a better future, and hope to escape this seige, and a means to survive it

wanna hear a wild story? my brother’s history professor is closing in on 80 and basically lives at the university. one night my brother visited him for a meeting, and it came up that my brother was gonna be performing as a court jester at the castle the following day. and his professor busts out: “ah, that reminds me of my youth!”

he then proceeded to tell the tale of when he and his friends went backpacking to greece back in their early 20s. then one day they found themselves completely penniless. so they decided that the only reasonable thing to do was to set up acrobatic shows in skimpy outfits on the beach at day, and then drink up the money at night.

after a week or so they gained some traction, and a gang of young greek men walked up to them like “hey y’all are cool as hell, can we join y’all for drinks tonight?” and my brother’s professor was like “of course! y’all have to wear these revealing outfits and do somersaults with us tho” and the greek gang said “sounds dope. y’all are invited to live with us for however long y’all want.”

anyhow, they proceeded to live like this for the better part of 3 months, doing shows, drinking, and sleeping at the greek gang’s apartment. but after a while they decided enough was enough, and said thank you for everything, but we’re going back to sweden now. and the greeks said “sure! love y’all have a safe trip xx”

half a year later my brother’s professor gets contacted by the greek police. they ask him about the months they spent in greece, and then informs him that their greek friends have been convicted of serial homicide and robbery. that the group of young greek men had joined up with several tourist groups for several years “for drinks”, and then killed and robbed them all, terrorising the beach city for several years. with one exception, of course, because “this one group of swedish acrobats in slutty strongman suits were just ‘so damn nice’”.

and that’s the story of how one swedish history university professor survived sharing a flat with a group of serial killers for several months by performing acrobatics in slutty outfits on the beach. moral of the story? be kind of heart, thicc of ass.

“oh we don’t wanna consume problematic media–” i unironically think everyone should consume problematic media at some point in their life. obviously not to say that people should monetarily support hp or aot or that, but i think it teaches you critical thinking skills when you say “yeah, objectively kingdom hearts has a lot of issues with the writing of their female characters” instead of “if you play kingdom hearts you’re a sexist”, you know?

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

if the only thing you consume is cookie-cutter “good“ than how are you going to act when something bad happens irl? when you do something bad irl? what do you do when your favorite Pure media suddenly a Not Good??? cause that’s the thing, NOTHING is perfect. NOTHING and NO ONE. we’re all flawed people and the stuff we create is going to be flawed and that’s what makes us human. stop trying to be perfect, it’s literally impossible, and learn how to say “this thing has problems and i’m willing to look at and discuss them, but it’s also something i enjoy and i am going to also celebrate the good”

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

i just. when i was a kid i was That™ warriors kid on the playground. running around on all fours hissing and doing clan meetings with my friend group on the slide. i read every fucking warriors book that existed, which is not an easy feat

looking at it now, i can tell you the treasure trove of Problematic Content™ it has. the rampant sexism (despite all the authors being women??), lack of care for continuity or exploring the world outside of our protags, one-dimensional villains, indigenous stereotyping/appropriation, even more sexism, the age gaps and incest-y relationships that the authors either don’t notice, refuse to acknowledge, or defend for some fucking reason, the INSANE ableism and heteronormativity… it’s a MESS.

i’m still glad i read it. i still reblog fanart of hollyleaf and leafpool, still point at cats and give them warrior names, i still think fondly of the island in the lake behind my friend’s house that looked exactly like the meeting spot in the books, still joke with friends about which clan we’d be in or our favorite characters would be in

as a kid, i didn’t notice all the issues, but there were others i could spot. i could spot the accidental incest and say “that’s weird, i don’t like that.” i didn’t notice the sexism in the way the female characters were always shoved aside and ended up becoming Doting Mothers™, but i did notice the ableism of assuming cinderpelt and jayfeather couldn’t be warriors despite their disabilities not being something that would stop an irl cat from finding a way to hunt or fight. and i was able to say “i don’t like these parts, and there would be a way to do them better.”

contrast to when i was in… fourth grade? third? i remember i was in public school, and i borrowed a book from the library that offhandedly mentioned a ouija board. i asked my mom how to pronounce this strange new word and she immediately took the book from me until it was time to return it. this didn’t teach me what my mom wanted me to learn, which was “we don’t fuck with demons in this house,” it just taught me that i couldn’t go to my mom with questions about books i was reading because she would take them away.

it was way better for my young, learning mind to say “what is wrong with this, why does it feel wrong, and what could they have done better” than to just take the Problems™ away

and obviously i dont think people should actively seek out shit media, but like. reading or watching something with Problems™ isn’t the end of the fucking world

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

SO funny how people in the notes are like “but what about media that’s actively harmful like hp or aot???” as if i didnt mention them explicitly in the first post lol

tell me u cant read without telling me u cant read

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

also for everyone saying “consume media not made for children”: fun fact my original draft of this post was talking about shit like 1984 and Lolita but long story short 90% of the internet hasn’t read past a 4th grade level so i figured warrior cats would make my point better lol

All profit is theft.

"Profit" means getting more for something than it's worth.

Charging for materials + labor is not profit. Charging for materials + labor + overhead is not profit. Charging for materials + labor + overhead + tools is not profit. (Note that businesses can write off the costs of labor, overhead, and tools on their taxes. Those aren't part of their annual profits.)

Profit is gain that isn't related to the value of the thing or its related costs, including labor.

Profit is always "I'm charging this much because I can."

Sometimes it's stolen wages: "I will charge this much and not pay my workers any extra for it." Sometimes it's stolen from the community: "This item is only for rich people; I'm marking it up so only millionaires can buy one." Sometimes there's exotic tax games to steal profit from the government.

But profit is always, always, always charging more for something than it's worth. Profit is a wealth extraction process that takes money from the have-nots and gives it to the already-haves.

[vaspider]

Yes, and I need to underline for all the artists and creative out there:

You are not stealing from people by charging for your labor. That is charging for your labor, and though you are profiting from your work, that isn't "profit" in the sense we're talking about here. That is compensation for labor.

[elfwreck]

Yes, this.

Charge $15/hour for your labor? Not profit.

Charge $25/hour for your labor? Not profit.

Charge $75/hour for your labor? NOT PROFIT.

Lawyers often charge $200+ an hour for labor.

Reasonable costs for labor include "pay me for the time I spent developing the skills it takes to be able to do this in one hour instead of ten, and having it look good instead of like a sloppy mess."

How much is actually reasonable?

Depends. Depends on the skill in question, the materials involved (aside from material costs--some materials are more stressful to work with than others), pressure details like deadlines, how difficult the skill is to master, and so on. There isn't a sharp answer to that.

But compensation for labor is not profit. And the way small business law is set up is designed to make that confusing AF. (Because most of our business laws were designed for large corporations and the laws scale down badly.)
