If yr Palestinian or Israeli and have questions about my personal i/p politics, my inbox is open.

If you have zero personal stakes in the i/p conflict, but need to confirm whether I'm Morally Correct enough to interact with: Ask yourself why you're only comfortable interacting with people who agree with you on every issue. Would it harm you to read something you disagree with about geopolitics that do not materially impact your life in any way?

I dont use zionist or antizionist labels. The state of Israel was established and will continue to exist for the forseeable future, my personal opinion on that fact is irrelevant. Also there are different types of zionism. And what goyishe leftists call 'zionism' is actually kahanism.

Also theres a weird thing where a leftist sees someone caring about Jewish Israelis, decides that person is a zionist, and then decides that zionism means wanting to murder every palestinian. So expressing any concern toward Jewish Israelis gets immediately interpreted as wanting to kill all Palestinians. Dont do that.

There’s a post going around now that includes the line “our worst case scenario as trans men is being seen as ugly weird women” and it’s driving me nuts. Actually I think the worst case scenario for trans men is what happened to Sam Nordquist and countless others but alright.

i love the extremely feminist argument of "people perceived as ugly weird women suffer no real serious consequences for that perception" (/s).

once again people continue to say things that would be recognized as blatantly obviously misogynistic if not anti-feminist if they weren't being said about trans men.

[genderkoolaid]

the overall logic seems to be

"women who do not or cannot perform patriarchal standards of feminine beauty and labor are punished, often violently, for this, and this is misogyny" = feminism 101

"and the category of "women who do not / cannot perform patriarchal standards" includes trans men, because misogyny is stored in the misogynist and not in the womanhood of the person being punished" = literally the same as gamergate

[apollosfallen]

The only way forward is to stop treating masculinity as synonymous with harmful, monstrous, or dangerous.

[apollosfallen]

There is a fundamental difference between "men are dangerous" (wrong, bioessentialist) and "the patriarchy allows dangerous men to exist unchecked" (true).

Remember when Lil Nas X beautifully explored his sexuality, seduced and killed the devil to the banger of all time, and instead of cheering on this openly gay and proud Black artist for his artistry and fighting back against respectability politics, suddenly said respectability politics was all the Queerest Place on the Internet cared about? Hm. Wonder what happened there.

Anyway I miss him and hope he's doing better with his mental health 🙏🏾

[creatingblackcharacters]

Like say what you want about "bad queer representation", but this was the song that made me openly and happily accept that I was bisexual. To see him up there Black and beautiful, making music that I love, absolutely killing it? Yeah. You couldn't tell me shit. This man made me proud to be out. "This will make them think we're evil for being gay" hey newsflash dawg-

the fear mongering around transmasculine people who sing going on testosterone genuinely pisses me off. yes, you will be able to sing. no, you won't lose your voice. no, low voices aren't ugly (where are people even getting this shit???). no, higher voices aren't prettier. sing through the changes (don't push anything). hydrate. h y d r a t e. please don't stop singing, your voice will sound amazing.

[ayamccabre]

So I'm one of those people who had complications with my voice breaking. It felt "stuck" for about a year and then dropped suddenly and painfully. I was not able to sing through the changes.

I can sing now though.

Even if you have to stop for a bit, you'll be fine. Get back into it when you can, look up some voice training exercises and see if they help, and you will be able to sing again.

Here's the original post (on FB, alas)

[ID: Screenshots of a Facebook post of user Zed Potts on April 3rd, 2026 at 8:10 PM reading:

The one thing about Al that most people don't seem to get, the really critical thing, is that this whole thing isn't a "tech miracle" it's just the wal-mart scam. When wal-mart moves into town, the first thign they do is they run a bunch of sales, for years and years.

not because they care. Not because they just really wanna help. But because they really want to drive every single store that sells the same things they sell out of business. And because they don't really want to (and can't really compete) on the quality front, they do this by just leveraging deep pockets to offer really, really, really cheap prices. They do two things with this: First, they close every single other business that sells the things they sell. Second, they manage to get everyone used to shittier versions of the stuff they used to have higher standards on - it may not be as good, but hey, it's cheap, and who can complain these days?

Al art costs a LOT to make, and it costs way way way more to build the machine models that make it, and this money all goes straight to creating a bunch of waste power, heat, and pollution. It's the anti-environmentalist effect your mother told you about. But it's virtually free to you to use right now, even for the paid services. Do you know why?

Because they want you to use it. They're trying to kill off every source of news writing, picture painting, song singing, book writing, movie making, library storing, lesson teaching, code writing, information sharing, community building, thought thinking they can POSSIBLY manage to replace with worse (but cheaper) versions that can run through machines they run

and then they can charge you for it, and get BACK some money for the billions and billions and billions of dollars that they keep pouring into this stuff.

The people who build this stuff aren't your friend. This product isn't cool. It's not "no big deal" when you share an Al thought, or project, or message - it's about you willingly hopping on board with the people who want to kill everything you love so they can run a zombie robot version of it that they can rent to you later when it's all you have left. this isn't a "conspiracy". It's not secret. It's just the fucking plan and it's right out there in the open and these people even say it out loud if you'd start listening.

Mostly accurate, but what I'm missing here is that a lot of these AI's don't want to charge YOU for it.

They want to get you hooked in AI as your main search engine and then charge advertisers to determine the results when you ask for the best new smartphone.

They want to get you hooked on putting all your e-mails through AI and then charge companies for your data, your most private thoughts.

And of course they want to get states, military and big coorporations hooked on AI and then charge them a fortune. So your taxes go to an AI that decides which neighborhoods to police, who to accuse of insurance fraud, and who to kill by drone (already all happening now).

Plenty of these services might continue to be free for you because you are the product.

Me: man I wish I knew more of my neighbors better

My nine-year-old neighbor: *crashes mom’s car into my yard*

Me: Be careful what you wish for I suppose

[sandersstudies]

Honestly my first draft of this post said “my neighbor’s son” and then I was like wait a second that’s functionally the same as saying “my cousin’s sister.” That’s still my cousin and that’s still my neighbor.

[sodomit]

A few days ago someone remarked on me saying "10 year old people" in a post. We really do rarely use words for children that imply personhood or non familial social relations. There's always a ghost of a parent standing between the child and what you want to say.

Happy fucking pride Jonathan was murdered for being queer AND native It was a hate crime His death wasn’t by natural causes Jonathan Joss being queer and also native is a big thing as to why he was targeted in a hate crime That’s being left out of this conversation by non natives esp white non natives right now We know why They erasing that part of this During pride and indigenous month no less too His queerness and being indigenous are linked in this

i mean. i’ll always side with the human over the company anyway. but these are markedly different

[cheaphalloweencostume]

You know how some married couples cheat on each other constantly and don't break up over it but they'll still insist they're strictly monogamous and they probably have some really bigoted views towards poly people too? Most western parents seem to be doing the same thing but with communal child-rearing. They're already actively outsourcing the majority of interactions with their children to teachers & devices but if you suggest anything that would make it so other people have a say in how their children are raised, they'll want you dead. But they'll still send their children to school expecting the teachers to do everything from potty training to teaching them how to do their taxes.

I'd totally forgotten that Dirty Dancing is about abortion

[shamebats]

It's also about dancing and sexy sex but one of the major plot points is a young woman getting an abortion and it's never questioned if she really needs it, her friends are like "ok how do we make this happen even tho we're all broke as hell" and the she gets an abortion and the only problem is that she had to have it done by a sketchy guy with questionable credentials in secret rather than safely at a medical clinic.

[rosecrystal]

This amount of individualism is exactly whats gonna kill us all btw

[ashintheairlikesnow]

"Going a couple hours without eating a single kind of food? No thanks, I would rather kill a child" is such a wildly horrifying take to see MULTIPLE people proudly stating.

I wonder how many people reblogging this scornfully stopped masking circa 2022 because "the high risk will protect themselves" from covid.

i was like 'it's weird the way everyone is doing free pr for the catholic church rn just bc the pr for the new pope has already been that good' and someone was like 'wait? why don't you like the pope? did something happen?' i feel insane i'm not exaggerating i didn't even know what to say?? 'did something happen?' yes the last 2 thousand years of global history, and no, going back 2,000 years in catholic history is not dramatic because it's remained consistently that bad throughout and in fact i do think the church should answer for every single century of its sins while all of its assets are returned to the people from which they were stolen and its global power is dissolved.
