“free Palestine” and “don’t use what’s happening to Palestinians as an excuse to spread anti-Semitism” can and should co-exist

[funkygraveyards-deactivated2023]

spreading hate to jewish people as a response to the actions of the israeli government isn’t woke, it just makes you anti-semitic. you can be critical of the israeli government and not be anti-semitic

Because in all the online debate and fury, nothing ever really gets sorted out. It doesn’t stop anything from happening, at most it just makes people annoyed at each other. It also doesn’t result in making us more empathetic or help us to consider other people’s points, if anything it makes us less tolerant. It creates a tense atmosphere, winds us up about things we probably didn’t need to be thinking of in the first place.

Having a Wallace Shawn moment where I read a post about imperialism and started thinking too hard about commodity fetishism and production pipelines and now I keep looking at random objects in my house and going "someone had to mine the metal used in the production of this spoon and somebody else needed to purify that metal and somebody else needed to shape that metal and somebody else needed to ship it to the store where I bought it"

[heedra]

really losing my patience for any 'feminist' statement to the tune of 'we need feminism because women fill a fundamentally different and necessary role than men and will be better at doing x y or z'. like actually i think we need feminism because it is an unbearable death of the spirit by inches to exist in a world where you are not seen as a fully realized human being because of a single cultural determination, and because a world that enshrines such things creates systems that are fundamentally sick to the core

Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.

Bruh. This needs to be a mandatory post on everybody’s blog. Y'all really be pullin out decade old receipts like woah.

Either you want people to grow and change or you want people to stay evil villains soyou can feel superior as you shame them.

“Seeking joy has been an active practice, because joy doesn’t come easily for me. I’m prone to long periods of fog, as you’ve called it, and if I don’t seek (and make) light, I would stay in it even longer, would possibly never emerge. I swear by keeping routines, which includes taking care of my body—eating enough, sleeping and waking at regular times, getting fresh air, that sort of thing. I also put limits on things that smother my joy; for me, this is primarily the internet, which provides endless messaging that I am not doing enough, am not good enough, and just generally steals my attention and energy, which I would prefer to use on things which nourish me. I believe in the power of creating small joys, instead of waiting for a big one to arrive miraculously in your life. I made a list of these joys so I can refer to it when I’m deeper in the fog, like a menu to order from. 100 joys. They’re simple, but effective—things like bubble baths, calling a friend, dancing, buying flowers, eating dark chocolate, a cup of tea. Some months, I have to challenge myself to meet a quota, when I’m feeling very down. It helps. Little step after little step. Little light after little light.”

bedford borough council's soc med person has had it with maggie tyers

[elodieunderglass]

I’m not going to get over this easily. Among the responsibilities of the Bedford Borough Council are

rubbish bins,

parking permits,

council tax, and

the placement of foster children

Within the county of Bedfordshire, England, UK.

Not listed among their responsibilities:

the creation, positioning, professional conduct, ongoing maintenance and estate costs, and scheduling of the fucking Moon

[gallusrostromegalus]

Yeah if someone wants to complain about the effects of the moon on the Christian Calendar, your best bet is taking it up with the Archbishop of Orlando, Florida and also The Moon* *Due to a canon law that says "any newly discovered territory would fall under the bishopric** from whence the discovering expedition departed." ** The current Archbishop John Noonan probably isn't going to be much help because he "Does not consider himself archbishop of the moon", but the paperwork still says he is, and also technically in charge of the International Space Station***, which also launched from his Diocese. ***I don't think the astronauts are going to assist this individual much either.

Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester

A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City em

"Privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media."

[etrogjam]

Can we please not do this. The lesson from this is not "so long as your payment can't be traced to you you're fine." The lesson here is that Proton will give the FBI (via the swiss govt or not) whatever info they ask for.

[shipoffoos]

in order to exist they have to comply with local laws, the benefit of proton and signal and other similar platforms is that they straight up do not have the majority of the information they could be subpoenaed for. finances are the exception legally, you still need good opsec

[comradesepsis]

The lesson here is not "Proton pretended to be good guys but secretly they were bad guys :( "

The lesson is that you cannot just find a "privacy focused" email or message app and assume that means you can say whatever you want because no one will ever know it was you.

Email is inherently insecure communication. Proton is a decent company that mostly avoids collecting the kind of data the fed wants. But you are not invisible behind a proxy or a vpn, encryption is not a magic ward, and you need to have at least a basic understanding of opsec before you got doing shit the fed might come looking at you for.
