YOOOOOO
RIGHT LIKE I’M GONNA TAKE NOTES!!! 😩
Don’t. Bring. Your. Phone. To. Protests.
Your phone thinks it’s connecting to a local tower, but it’s an FBI microcell.
Simple as that.
Bring a burner, and today 20 bucks gets you a decent burner phone with a decent camera.
Let me hijack this post because I worked with this kind of stuff and it is very important. Today your phone sends out 3 identifiable signals, virtually everywhere around you.
The first is a GSM signal, that’s what you use to make calls and send actual sms text and connect to data. This has obviously its own identifiers which your phone provider uses to distinguish you, and depending on the plan you have, it’s tied to your name and location close to the cell tower you’re connected to and this info can be easily accessed by a warrant. In some cases no warrant is needed.
Your ESSID and other information is sent through your phones onboard wifi looking for places to connect to. This can super easily be stored, and while it is not entirely connected to a name, unless your phone has a host address like “Tom’s Iphone10” or “Brittany’s Samsung S20″, your (whole) name is not directly tied to it. But your phones identity and mac address are.
The third thing is bluetooth, which does not have the long range that wifi does but that actually makes it more dangerous, since it can pinpoint you to a certain location where the data was captured. Especially during a protest. This way you can’t talk yourself out of ever being there. This technology also gives out identifiers, like your phones name and Bluetooth mac address.
Apart from this info, there are ways to pull easily provided information directly from your phone. Cause when your phone connects to publicly available networks it also starts looking for the services it is connected to, sending cookies to websites like facebook and twitter which can be traced back to you.
This sort of information capture out in the open is called a Dragnet, and is employed by Police and other forces for data gathering out in the public. And it is quite legal, given that you’re providing this information out in the open, knowingly or unknowingly, just like video surveillance and facial identification capture.
Now Dragnets are super useful because they capture this information, and in the case of crimes being committed, people can be traced back that didn’t get caught on camera.
On a non security measure aspect they can be used in people counting, helping businesses plan and execute their services better, lowering cost and improving customer experiences.
Some are even using types of dragnet technology to count people in a library or gym and send the data in real time to your phone to tell you how crowded a place is. Lot’s of good things.
The thing is that this tech is real and it is out there already, I have seen this tech being employed, I have offered people to build this tech for them for good uses only and I have seen these devices out in the wild.
But obviously this technology has been, and is continuing to be misused by law enforcement to discriminate, falsely accuse and detain people just because they happen to cross through a dragnets at the time of an alleged happening or situation. There is absolutely no legislation covering this specific situation and deployment or use of this kind of tech.
Be safe, and don’t bring your phone to a protest. Also keep your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off in public when you’re not using it. There are apps available that turn them off for you.
just don’t take pictures of people doing/preparing to do direct action at all, please.

While it is key to popularize masking up, there must also be a culture created against filming during protest.
[ID: Series of tweets by user Nze @Nzekiev, whose profile picture is a Black man with box braids making a peace sign. The tweets say: "In the train stations here in Kyiv, children first, women second, white men third, then the remaining is occupied by Africans. This means that we have waited for many hours for trains here & couldn't enter because of this. Majority of Africans are still waiting to get to Lviv. We had to start shouting and pushing African women to the train, so they had no other option than to allow them since they said women and children first. It wasn't the case earlier. Train to Poland got here, I and other two Africans entered first, few mins later, the police came in and dragged us down from our cabin. Only Ukrainians are allowed. I don't blame them, though. I blame African leaders. Make nobody tell me to pray for anybody oo. It is obvious that we Africans regarded as lower beings. On my way to Poland border now. I hope I make it to the border and across." Attached is a picture taken from the inside of a car. Following is another series of tweets by verified account Dr Ayoade Alakija, whose profile picture is a Black woman with straight black hair smiling at the viewer. Her thread says: "Just spoke [with] Poland [Poland flag emoji] Ambassador who assures me that all efforts are being made to ensure Nigerians & ALL ["all" in caps] Africans are given safe passage at border as a result of Ukraine war. I will be posting details of who to contact for those stuck in Ukraine & also sharing [with] @OgbeniDipo For ALL ["all" in caps] Africans stranded in Ukraine I have these contacts for you at Poland BORDER ["border" in caps] with buses. CALL THEM ["call them" in caps] *Hrebenne-Rawa Ruska* 1. Szkoła Podstawowa w Lubyczy Królewskiej (zaplecze hali sportowej) ul.

I’m just gonna post this here. What y’all do with is your decision.
as war rages in Ukraine, depraved men are already fantasizing about taking advantage of Ukrainian women and girls. notice how this tweeter doesn’t even say women, he says “girls”
and then there’s this one
notice how the girl pictured looks like a child?
and we all know that eastern europe is notorious for “mail order brides” and sex trafficking women and girls to the west.
there have always been sick western men fetishizing slavic and eastern european women, but in the past couple of years the problem has gotten worse. now with the war, these men are salivating and hoping for the fall of Ukraine so that they can get with female refugees. male depravity knows no bounds
polish government has opened a website for ukrainians seeking safety and trying to cross the ukrainian-polish border:
ua.gov.pl
as of 13:10 polish time, it has been said as many people as possible will be let through the borders. they are also supposed to let through children who do not have passports, as to not divide families.
Polish person here, I’ve been on the website, it looks legit! Adding the full link here:
Information is available in Polish, Ukrainian, Russian and English
Please get the help available!
Other people, please boost this!!!!
Gov.pl is a legit website connected to the polish government i use it to look at tax info and school stuff (it has the lessons for the teachers written out) and driving license info. So this is legit!!!
Ukrainian friends, you can also cross the border to Slovakia, with or without a passport, or at least that’s the latest update from our Ministry of Interior. You must prepare yourselves for waiting in lines as they check every individual vehicle upon entering (waiting times according to our news are hours long because of shitty capacities but hopefully after today the officials will figure out a more effective system). If anybody has a link too, I’d be grateful as I haven’t found anything useful prior to adding to the post. I hope you all stay safe.
Romania is also willing to accept up to 500,000 refugees from Ukraine. Be prepared for long waiting times at the Siret border crossing.
If you can reach Germany, they are willing to accept refugees as well. Our minister of the interior, Nancy Fraeser, said that all Ukranians with a biometric passport can come to Germany even without a visa and stay there for 90 days.
CRAIN SIBLINGS + BIRTH ORDER TRAITS THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (2018)
As an asthmatic, this was critical advice. It can also be helpful to splash cold water on the back of your neck or forehead, which helps distract you from the panic.
If you are having issues with what it feels like breathing in a mask, practice in a calm environment where you feel relaxed, and if you can’t get it to be ok, try different masks.
yeah it's absolutely important that we talk about how masks can make people feel like they can't breathe, and that is itself difficult. my mom has straight up developed some sort of agoraphobia during the pandemic and has had to skip out on events because she can't be in a crowded room with a mask.
good idea to check in with your body and what you're feeling, what exactly is it that's causing that suffocating feeling? is it contact with the material or the way it traps warmth near your face? try different fits and materials
Acknowledging that people’s feelings are real and offering realistic nonjudgmental options to alleviate those feelings instead of dismissing them, lecturing them and assuming bad faith? Apparently that’s still a possible way we can act. Who knew.
so i’m checking the news and there’s this article about apple i want to read and
here’s what happens if you click on it
i guess they mad but also like… censorship…
here’s the article if you want to remove the ability of apple to record exactly where you go how you get there and how long you spend there
Astrology Observations!
hey, this is my first time posting something on here! :D these are obviously just my observations, they don’t have to apply to everyone, also take into consideration that other placements/aspects can change everything, you should look at your natal chart as a whole!
☆ its true, cancer mars always start crying when they’re mad, they also tend to victimize themselves very fast, when they’re underdeveloped… ☆ in my experience capricorn/libra mercuries easily analyze people (subconsciously) and then adjust the way they speak and act in order to get along with everyone ☆ aquarius suns always have messy rooms, but they kind of appreciate the chaos? like they don’t mind having a messy room ☆ scorpio risings look so mean/unapproachable most of the time? idk why, my best friend has a scorpio rising and everyone always thinks she’s mean/doesnt like anyone ☆ ascendant square uranus/pluto are always so mean and they don’t even notice it? like they’re saying such hurtful things and if you point it out they’re just like ‘i’m just being honest bro’ ☆ cancer moons have really round facial features, like a soft nose, round lips, round eyebrows etc.
☆ fire risings are HAIRY, like their hair & eyebrows are thick, they have lots of arm hairs etc. (especially leo risings) ☆ i noticed that mercury in leo/5th house often talk really loudly without noticing it ☆ mars in retrograde often have a problem managing their anger, as soon as something bothers them they kind of explode ☆ venus in capricorn LOVE the dark academia aesthetic
☆ venus in aries act immediately when they see someone they like, they’re the type to approach their crush without hesitating ☆ women with cancer in big three often have a really feminine, curvy body
LGBT activists have been vocal about intersex issues for several decades, because establishing the legal right to bodily autonomy for intersex persons is basically inseparable from establishing the right of trans persons to that same legal autonomy over their own bodies. many intersex persons prefer not to be grouped together with LGBT causes; however, the vast majority of LGBT activists would agree that performing “corrective” surgery on intersex infants - to force them to adhere to a largely fictional gender binary - is pretty fucking evil.
There’s a lot of bullshit around the gender binary and the “basic biology” arguement that breaks down the second you look in any college-level textbook. The amount of people born intersex clocks in at 1.7% of the world’s population and people try to pretend it doesn’t exist because of that low percentage. However, following that logic, they must also believe that people born with naturally red hair, 2% of the world’s population, must also be fictitious. Except that clearly isn’t the case. One hundred and thirty-two MILLION people are born intersex and the vast majority of them have their bodily autonomy ripped away. That shit has to stop.
This petition is about 100 away from hitting its 50K goal, as of Feb. 2, 2022
End Intersex Surgery at Lurie Children's Hospital
Based on these press releases, it seems like folk were able to successfully pressure @luriechildrens, but someone who is closer to the issues ought to know more in terms of what the on-the-ground impact was.
Lurie Children’s shares a commitment to support and advocate for the intersex community within our walls and the larger community.
A few months ago, we released a statement describing important conversations we are having about the types of care that intersex children an

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Not to offer advice nobody asked for but fixing ur sleep schedule is life changing
Things that actually work if u try at them:
Drinking water
No longer making self deprecating jokes
Making sure to take time out of the day to relax and take a breather
Lighting candles
Counting ur breaths in and out if ur having a panic attack
Getting up and trying to do one thing even if u can’t do everything maybe brushing ur teeth but not having the energy to shower
Taking a shower if you can, putting clean clothes on if you can’t, even just a clean set of pjs. Washing your face.
A couple weeks ago I was in a major depressive slump and was feeling really detached from reality. I was trying so hard to fight it but nothing I tried worked until I realized I hadn’t listened to any happy music in almost a week.
I didn’t feel like listening to anything at all but I put on my favorite playlist anyway. Take On Me started and I finger stimmed to the keyboard riff and hummed along and by the end of the song I was smiling. A few more songs and I was fully singing along and feeling more present than I had in days.
Even if it seems small and trivial, like putting on your favorite socks or looking up pictures of kittens, it might be something you need. Of course the music didn’t solve any of the problems I was upset about, but it did help me feel like I was a person again.
This isn’t one of those “must be good to be neurotypical” posts btw, these are small and accessible steps that can really help.
coming here to say that if you support pam & tommy or anyone associated with that show, you need to make sure you do your research before you continue, and if you know what the issue is and continue to watch it, you are a vile, pathetic person
for those of you who don't know, it's a show about two people, pamela anderson and her ex husband tommy lee, the show is about the aftermath of having their sex tape released to the world
tommy was an abusive husband, and this show glorifies it all (not going to go into detail bcs him being abusive should say enough)
her consent was not asked before the creation of this show and it's violating her trauma. she's a real person and this is her real life and it's being made into a show and people are profiting off of it without her permission
she is literally being forced to have to relive her trauma, and it's pathetic and disgusting how everyone associated with this show thinks that this is okay
sources confirmed that her family said that she wasn't okay with it and hadnt approved of the show or gotten back to any of the actors who are a part of this that reached out to her
sebastian also confirmed that he watched the tape for "research purposes". now i dont care for actors, nor do i bother stanning many, but obviously him playing bucky was special to me, and now im so grossed out i hope the winter soldier isn't even there for cap 4
how can grown adults sit on their high horses and think that it's okay to take a woman's trauma especially a woman who is still alive and just profit off of it?
ive already seen enough seb stans act like this is fine and say horrible, misogynistic things in order to defend themselves and their boring white man, i know they are going to glorify and romanticise this shit
pamela anderson was abused by her husband, and these stans are calling the portrayal of a sick, twisted man "cute" (i literally have a twt screenshot)
please stop supporting this show, and everyone associated with it
is it just me or is NASA weirdly aggressive in their article about black holes?
can a black hole destroy the earth?
no, you idiot.
black holes aren’t planet gluttons, you bitch.
and the earth isn’t some weak-ass planet that would just fall in to a black hole like a sucker.
and that dumbass sun that we’ve got isn’t big enough to make a black hole like other stars.
you fool.
This reads like an exhausted doctor explaining that no, you fucking moron, vaccines do not cause autism.
White folks ain’t going to reblog this. They want their version of MK Jr. that only said “I have a dream”.
Guilt tripping white people into reblogging stuff isn’t going to make you have more allies, just saying.
It’s not about guilt tripping.
It’s about white people, even well-intentioned white allies, being too comfortable in their privilege and not learn more about the complex beliefs of civil right leader MLK Jr other than his “I have a dream” speech. MLK Jr. talked extensively about American Imperialism, Capitalism, and White Fragility/Complicity throughout his career and activism, which most Liberal white allies won’t share because they’re too comfortable with the white lies they were taught in schools.
Reblogged.
totally agree, however that is still guilt tripping lol
here’s the hilarious thing about calling this “guilt tripping.” the psychological definition of a “guilt trip” is an UNJUSTIFIED feeling of guilt induced in someone else. um, what about anything here said about white people that’s “unjustified” or baseless? we’ve got over 400yrs of evidence to back up our statements about white people. we even got studies, research and stats. none of which shows what @dreamyblackchild said to be false.
The research suggests that when intolerant white people fear democracy may benefit marginalized people, they abandon their commitment to democracy.
Whites See Racism as a Zero-Sum Game That They Are Now Losing
Martin Luther King and the ‘polite’ racism of white liberals
White Americans long for the 1950s, when they didn’t face so much “discrimination”
lmaoo white people love to act like we don’t have centuries of examples of who they are. always want to act brand new. like this suspicion and mistrust of your character isn’t earned every fucking day by your behavior, your treatment of black people, native people, brown people, by who you vote for, who you support with your money, who you tone police, your “jokes” and more. foh! like there isn’t a trail of dead black, native and brown bodies in your wake. we watched y’all whitewash the fuck out of mlk’s legacy (AFTER KILLING HIM BTW) and then tried to use that whitewashed version to limit our fight for liberation and justice to just the acts your comfortable with and then have the fucking nerve to say that calling out your typical behavior to be “guilt tripping?” fuck you.
the one other thing i know about “guilt tripping” is that it only works on people with a fucking conscious. foh!
no effort whatsoever but y’all talking about “guilt tripping.” gtfoh! like mlk said…
