Freeloader Comin’ through!

We didn’t start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).

And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with ‘please turn off adblock’ the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure they’re not installing malware.

Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is “freeloading” is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isn’t freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isn’t cheating the tv network.

Ok y’all, I work as a web developer and I’m here to tell you that you are 100% right and that it’s shit. SO I’m going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if you’re using an adblocker.

Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short it’s a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:

Oh no! I’m blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the “inspect” feature

Click the three dots in the top right and open the “Settings” Menu

And then scrolled down to “Debugger” and checked the “Disable Javascript Option”

And then just refreshed the page

Super disgusting! People are FUCKED UP.

It’s racial discrimination to treat someone less polite than someone else would be treated in the same circumstances, because of race. We can’t ignore the case of blatant racism. We MUST draw public attention to such cases. We must ensure that racists are identified and socially discredited. There are no reasons or excuses for racism. It’s just disgusting.

from the KTLA news article:

When Suh said she would report the action to Airbnb officials, the host replied: “It’s why we have Trump.”

Suh said that comment made her painfully aware of how threatened minorities have become under the Trump administration.

“For me personally, to now have someone say something racist to me and say it’s because of Trump, it was my fears coming true,” Suh said. “That people who held these racist beliefs felt emboldened.”

The host went on to say she would “not allow this country to be told what to do by foreigners.”

Suh is an American citizen who has called the U.S. home since she was 3 years old.

“If this is my experience as a light-skinned Asian woman, what is it like for people who have darker skin than me or are Muslim?” Suh wondered aloud. “What is it like for people who are undocumented or not U.S. citizens yet?”

Ok so i work for Airbnb. And they actually don’t fucking play with discrimination. At all. We were banning people who were going to Charlottesville for the riot. But they can’t do anything unless we are told. And the most common thing i hear is “i don’t want to start a ruckus or cause any trouble” but.. in order to prevent this stuff… we need people to. Don’t stay silent.

mirab3lle

Reblogging again for that! ^^^^

Also apparently the host was fined $ 5,000 and was forced to attend a class on Asian Americans, as well as apologize and serve community service. Which is awesome.

IN GONNA CRY

rapeculturerealities

Once, she blamed liking anti-transgender statuses on Twitter as an error, dubbing it a “Clumsy and Middle-Aged Moment.” Despite fans catching the 53 year old in the act of putting her stamp of approval on trans hate once again, she thumbed her nose at the backlash.

Rowling eagerly co-signed the Anti-Trans attacks launched by notorious The Times journalist Janice Turner.

While the LGBT community and our allies have stood back and watched a rather ominous narrative form around JK Rowling, it has been without any direct confirmation or statement from the author herself. It’s as if she is conditioning the world to accept it rather than rebuke it. First she stuck her toe in the water, was caught, claimed it was a misunderstanding and we accepted that. Then, she persisted to do the same things… again and again.

Finally, we have some confirmation of Rowling’s stance against the transgender community. She has followed one of the most hateful and aggressive anti-trans radical feminists on Twitter, Magdalen Berns.

I’m sorry but you are kidding yourself if you can pretend Harry Potter is divorced from the author’s transphobia. Saying “Miku made this” is just glossing over the disturbing context given to elements from the series when you know that JKR is a raging transmisogyniat who follows one of the worst terfs on twitter.

In Hogwarts, the stairs to the girls’ dorms physically will not allow male students to enter. However girls can enter the boys’ dorm base apparently girls are inherently more trustworthy. This was written by a woman who believes trans women are men who prey on cis women and therefore should be forcibly removed from women’s spaces.

In Harry Potter only the girl students are allowed to pet the unicorns because they are more “pure” than the boys. This was written by a person who believes your sex assigned at birth IS your gender and believes it immoral or impossible to have a different gender from your ASAB.

The only time people are very shown using polyjuice potion to transform into a person of another gender, it’s mostly a joke about Harry’s friends making comments about his body + Fleur being embarrassed for her husband to see her as a naked man. Other than this scene, every use of polyjuice potion is intensely gender-conforming, and it’s not because of the voices because in the books polyjuice changes your voice as well.

There are elements of the Harry Potter books that people have tried to reframe as being trans-inclusive (“what if a trans boy couldn’t get into the girls dorm only the boys dorm?”) but we are lying to ourselves if we pretend her “opinions” aren’t present in Harry Potter.

also, the situation with notch vs the situation with jk rowling are very different.

it is entirely fine to love minecraft and pretend hatsune miku made it because notch does not own minecraft anymore. all references to him in the game have been removed. it is under the control of an entirely different team and has been for a while. notch probably made enough money off of minecraft to live incredibly comfortably for the rest of his life, but he no longer receives any benefit from it. in addition, notch’s harmful and toxic views and politics have not tainted minecraft whatsoever, because its just a fun little open-world game about building things; there is no story or narrative to taint.

every dollar spent on harry potter, on the other hand, is another dollar in rowling’s pocket. even if you pretend she as a person doesnt exist. and her bigotry is present throughout the series, this is not just limited to trans women.

When people find out that my dog is afraid of men: Oh, the poor thing must have been traumatized when she was younger! Poor baby, I just want to hold and comfort her and let her know she’s safe.

When people find out that I, an adult human woman, am afraid of men: Um, not *all* men, sweetie. You can’t go your whole life being afraid. Get over it.

When my dog was allowed to get a hysterectomy: She doesn’t need to have puppies to have a happy, healthy like with her adoptive family.

When I, an adult human woman, want to get a hysterectomy: But having children will make you happy! You might change your mind!

People misgendering a dog: Oh my god I’m sorry it wasn’t intentional! I didn’t know :/

People misgendering a trans person: Uuuuh idc get over it

“She’s making false accusations it’s the second time she’s done it.”

“We’re going to handle it just stop calling 911 and making accusations that you don’t know about.”

“She’s been calling all night. She first said he had a gun when he didn’t.”

These are the actual words said by police officers hours before this beautiful soul and her young son were gunned down along with other members of her family by her boyfriend.

Say her name! Latina Herring is the latest victim of misogynoir and domestic violence in America. Black women make up only 8% of the US population but make up 22% of intimate partner violence homicide victims, making domestic violence one of our leading causes of death. Not only do we have to navigate the fear of being killed by some men in our community but we also experience police brutality and neglect when we call for help. Respect and protect black women and teach your sons to do better.

For all the white feminists, black male activists, and non black poc who demand that as black women we stand in solidarity for your causes, what are you doing for us? What are you doing and how are you rallying against our violence, our pain and our oppression? Do our lives matter to you at all?

I want to make something clear - here’s what they said before she died: “She’s been calling all night. She first said he had a gun when he didn’t.” Here’s what they said after she died: “She should have lied and said he hit her so we would take her seriously”

“the people who protect us” my ass

I ripped anti-abortion posters off of my campus’ walls and the tearing sound was so satisfying I legit considered making it an ASMR video

lesbianism-that-sucks

some updates:

one of the posters was too high for me to reach. I came back with a friend, and we managed to borrow a chair from a coffee shop and get help from a taller student, both were very enthusiastic about helping us

it turns out a guy I know is anti-abortion. I talked to him and now he’s pro-choice. stan me

there was an anti-abortion and anti-gay-medical-pregnancy (I have no vocabulary) protest, which was the reason for all the posters. they were barely 50 and it ended up raining on them

i spent half an hour ripping off their stupid stickers of the walls of the city hall. I feel like the mayor should have paid me for this tbh

when ripping off the stickers, I saw someone else doing it on the other side of the building. we didn’t get to talk but it was nice to see the collective effort

that’s all for now! remember kids: it’s perfectly legal in most countries to rip off posters on the street. if you see hateful or discriminatory messages, rip that shit off babe. will make you feel powerful for days

ebonyheartnet

This is excellent, but I would like to add a word of caution: If you know or suspect that the hate group putting up the posters is potentially violent, do not remove them with your bare hands.

Some fuckers put razors under the edges, and other shit, so you need something else to scrape them off with. When in doubt, scrape a few in random locations and, if they all come up clean, you’re probably okay to pull the rest down by hand.

And yeah, I’m really fucking angry that I have to say this at all.
