The chill that never left your spine

Late 20's, trans babe. Hella sapphic. If you want me to tag stuff just let me know. Don't follow if you're under 18.

While the international community speaks of the genocide and ethnic cleansing we are enduring, we are focusing on the details of this urgent crisis moment by moment.

[ahmed-motaz]

My family and I are surrounded by winter's relentless bombardment. Shrapnel rains down on our heads and inside our tattered tent, leaving us without even the most basic protection. Flying in a torn tent offers no shelter from the bitter cold or the scorching summer heat. Every day we bid farewell to the martyrs of the revolution, witnessing children lose their lives before our very eyes, while we and our children suffer from a profound lack of basic necessities.

[ahmed-motaz]

We need your help, not to dismantle our tent, but to provide us with the food and medicine we desperately need to survive. I implore you not to abandon us in these circumstances.

Please please continue to support my young friend Ahmed. His family has been displaced many times, they live in a tent in a refugee camp in Gaza, and are subject to terror from attacks that continue under the false “ceasefire.” Ahmed needs food and medicine urgently.

Tea Time Conversation

Based on a conversation my sibling had with their wife, that they asked me to make a comic of. For reference, this is the packaging that prompted it:

When it comes to Palestine, the sacred laws of journalism are bendable. Optional even. Passive voice is king. Omitting facts is standard. Fabrication is permissible. Journalists become stenographers, and reporters become state secretaries, as they parrot police and military narratives. They tamper with evidence. They muddle, mislead, and misconstrue, manufacturing consent for ethnic cleansing and creating confusion around murders that are clear as day. The courageous industry that boasts of speaking “truth to power” is but a bullhorn for the powerful. We have seen this time and time again. It is almost satirical: anchors reject the data before their eyes to recite lies, and newspapers read like caricatures of themselves. When a 2014 Israeli airstrike on a cafe in Gaza blew eight Palestinians to shreds, the headline from the New York Times was “Missile at Beachside Gaza Cafe Finds Patrons Poised for World Cup.” Whose missile? Whose gunfire? Who is the sniper?

hey all. I’m a disabled south american trans woman who could really use some help. recently my only reliable source of income fell through and I’m worried I might have to go back to living with my abusive mother. I have three cats: Soup, Vodka, and Steelwool, and I’m also worried of my mother letting them out and them dying if I go back to living with her.

i am looking for a new job, but in the meantime, i'm setting up this donation post to help make ends meet. anything you can give would help immensely; reblogs would also be greatly appreciated. thank you

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.
