Commissions for Palestine

Not even a year ago Rola’s family was completing their education, and pursuing their careers. Now her family is trapped in Gaza facing life threatening conditions because of the ongoing genocide. Her father is injured and her brothers are sick. With no source of income or medical facilities they need help getting the funds they need to get to safety.

genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

[notemily]

via ered.bsky.social, the only kinds of unethical fiction:

people in the replies are going "what about books glorifying unethical things" and "what if it's propaganda" and you, my friends, are who this comic was made for

If you search "Keyhole Gardening" on StartPage or any other search engine that isn't AI-corrupted, you'll get a bumper crop of information.

The Wikipedia page is very detailed.

“People were just smaller back then”

Nope. Fat people have always been here, aren’t going anywhere, and have always been beautiful and worthy of respect.

While watching a DVD from the library my TV popped up a message saying to press a button if I wanted to watch this from additional providers.

It's never done that before so I looked it up and turns out Roku TVs have added all sorts of creepy things in the privacy section since I last checked.

One of which being they take screenshots from what you're watching and send them to third parties to identify it.

Fucking hell! Remember when every fucking device in your life wasn't a spy implanted in your home and working against your interests to try and sell your data? Remember how nice that was??

Remember when the TV was just a tool that would play the things you plugged into it?

Why must the future suck SO much?

How to Turn Off Smart TV Snooping Features - Consumer Reports

TVs collect a huge amount of data. Here's how to use privacy settings to limit the surveillance on TVs from LG, Samsung, TCL, and every othe

A good rundown on what each brand of TV is up to and which settings you should turn off.

PSA - Do not buy an LG smart TV. They just added a line to their terms of use that it's the user's responsibility to inform any guests in their house that by entering they consent to be recorded, in order to comply with wiretapping laws. That thing is literally recording you.

You can find tutorials online telling you how to open that thing up and physically remove the mic and wifi module. Frankly I don't trust anything less.

[mookimooks]

Please watch the Gamers Nexus video on LG Smart TV's and monitors! It's basically malware at this point.

Deconstruct your amatonormativity!!

Take yourself out on dates. Go to the movie theater alone. Go out to eat alone. Enjoy life alone, it's okay. Enjoy life with friends. Take you're friends out on dates. Have sex with people you don't love. Have sex with people you don't want to marry. Have friends with benefits and hook ups and one night stands and situationships. Never have sex. Never get married. Marry your best friend. Kiss your friends. Date multiple people. When people say you'll never be happy alone kill them with hammers 🔨🔨🔨🔨. Live alone with several pets. Be happy. Be free. Do you.

[iamoutofideas]

why is it the shittiest people get to go outside & have fun while anyone with a vague sense of social morality gest physically forced into hiding in their parents house forever?

this post was made after I got recommended a youtuber bragging about being able to go to concert after concert with the username Cultural Copium

[mousidy]

very strange cottage industry on youtube of giving exhaustive "critiques" of harry potter that amount to things like "the magic school is dangerous and that's bad!!!" and treating that with equal severity as the fatphobia or the slavery apologia, then patting themselves on the back as if this amounts to some kind of praxis

cinemasins is not praxis lol. how about materially supporting and protecting trans people from joanne and forgetting about her wizard books

[mousidy]

I loved harry potter growing up. it made me feel seen as an abused and closeted kid. I idolized and looked up to joanne, wanting to become an author like her

then she started funnelling all her wizard book money into destroying the rights of my people and I resolved not to give her any more of my money

I didn't have to reevaluate the quality of her writing to do this. whether she's good at keeping her worldbuilding consistent or whatever has nothing to do with my decision to boycott her work. who cares how good or bad her writing is. she's killing trans people

[jayalaw]

OP, you get it. This is exactly the problem.

[despazito]

challenging all white women to put in even half the effort they spend on fearmongering to other white women about parking lot abductions to instead support MMIWG initiatives if they want to actually make a difference in protecting women

[danielkahndyke]

Hi im a librarian amd that's not now this works. If a library allows you to have a digital card and not live in the area, you are NOT taking away resources from other people, that's not how anything works. Please keep doing it!!! The more people that use our services, the more money we can get from funding sources!!! Please use us!!! We are not utilized enough, by people in or out of our community. Thanks.

[fairycosmos]

hey is anyone else sick of having to adapt to horrible conditions over and over again

[crazysodomite]

you know whats really crazy?

it's when people assume something is "fetish art" because it's weird... and the weirdness is literally just drawing a disability

like drawing someone with a disability is likened to 'deviantart tier bizarre fetish art' because any disability that doesn't look "normal" and "acceptable" is too weird to ever portray just for the sake of it

[crazysodomite]

i think this comes from the idea that a visual piece of art has to be appealing, beautiful, pleasant to look at, etc.

so portraying something 'not beautiful' has to have some other "purpose" which people usually assume to be sexual

[kelpforestdwellers]

interesting how when medical providers or caregivers abuse disabled people, everyone falls over themselves to make excuses for how they're just so tired and overworked and stressed they can't NOT abuse you.

and yet no grace is given to our exhaustion, our pain, our anger. anything other than perfect smiling compliance and simpering gratitude can be punished. if you do things they don't approve of, they may retaliate, or drop you entirely, and write things in your notes that will guarantee future mistreatment.

if you can't imagine how difficult it is to rely on people for basic survival, especially underpaid strangers who don't give a fuck about you, lucky you. if you've never had to appease anyone or choke back justified hurt and anger so as not to be left to rot, lucky you. it takes enormous social energy, which not everyone has. disabled people's survival shouldn't be a popularity contest.

how come only the person who has all the power and the choice to leave if they want, gets to have a hard day?

ICE Terrorizing Haitians -- & Deporting Them Back to a Crisis the US Created

350,000 Haitians just lost TPS status — and the "choice" ICE is giving them is an ankle monitor or a one-way flight back to a country the US State Department warns isn’t safe to travel to. Kerbie Joseph with Caribbean Defense joins Zoe Alexandra and Rania Khalek BT to break down what's really happening on the ground in Springfield, Ohio – the same community Trump and JD Vance smeared with lies about "eating pets" in 2024 – where residents are coming home from what they thought were routine ICE check-ins shackled with GPS ankle monitors: “We’re talking about incarceration.”

Kerbie unpacks how Haiti isn't unsafe because of some inherent chaos — it's because of over a century of US and French intervention, from occupation to crushing debt to the destabilizing "security missions" of today. Meanwhile ICE just posted its biggest arrest month ever, and the profits are rolling in. Joseph lays out what Haitians are doing to fight back, and why this is a US worker struggle: Haitian TPS holders are co-workers, nurses, caregivers — and their fight for dignity and permanent status affects all of us.

Not getting a ton of reporting in US news, but the Trump administration is going after donors to Palestine, including going as far as international extradition under the guide of "counterterrorism"
