Defend the Internet Archive
the actual internet archive staff are pushing for signatures, so i figured i would support. + definitely reblog if you feel so inclined.
here's the story. i know expressvpn has been recommended in some 🏴☠️ how-to posts but it is not trustworthy. the parent company, kape technologies, not only used to distribute malate but has ties to multiple state surveillance agencies. and be careful where you look for info about good vpns, because kape technologies owns a bunch of "vpn review" sites too
In case anyone can’t read the article for whatever reasons, the VPNs acquired are:
ExpressVPN
Private Internet Access
Zenmate
CyberGhost
And the VPN review sites they purchased are:
vpnMentor
Wizcase
So if you use any of those, time to look for other options.
Something that people still do not understand about the pandemic is how much the data was just erased or skewed so that we would all go back to work. An entire generation is facing mass disability because of a *preventable* illness that is still circulating untraced and undocumented.
Disabled people tried to warn us.
Epidemiologists tried to warn us.
Historians tried to warn us.
But when the money stopped flowing, it didn’t matter anymore. The lives and the quality of life of the masses was considered the cost of business.
I don’t even know how to grieve when no one will even acknowledge it.
We use all the tools we can, doomer
^these damn near solved the problem on their own. If you're not wearing a mask at work or in public, you're a part of the problem.
The United States — ALL of it
Reminder that Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Marianas, American Samoa and the US Virgin Islands and DC don’t have actual representation in congress and only DC can vote for President even though over 5 million people live in these areas
They drill “no taxation without representation” into our heads like it’s why the country exists… and then omit the fact that allllllll of those people pay taxes and have no say in their government.
I have a suggestion
if i had a dollar for every ounce of rage i felt in my body after i read this comment i would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you
while you’re there could you buy me an apply juice please?
directly to the forehead

Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally
Yes actually I will not shut up about how these foods are from the Americas/cultivated by the people there, and did NOT exist in Asia, Africa or Europe before the 1490s, there was an absolute food revolution going on in the 1500s. Whatever you think is traditional food for your country? Check again, you’ve maybe only been using that ingredient for maybe 500 years. Here is the full list of crops, it is very interesting :))
The settler state arguably got the worst white demons in the world
This post never goes out of style
Meanwhile, a little while back my friend Alaa was talking about "the best Italian restaurant in Gaza!", how everyone knew it; it was run by these two brothers who had migrated from Italy, what an experience it was, how on social media everyone was begging them for their recipes, that they had the best pasta sauces ever, that she was always recommending it and wanted everyone to be able to try it...
...and then finished with "but then of course the occupation bombed the restaurant with the entire family inside and they were all killed".
She's now working on a site dedicated to showing all the important little local places in Gaza that no longer exist—partly so that her own children can know them, and partly so they cannot be completely erased by the occupiers.
She's also working on this project, again to preserve the culture and history that the occupation is trying to wipe out, taking up the lead on this after her teacher Dr. Refaat Alareer (now most-known to English-speakers for his "If I must die" poem), who had started the project, was killed by the occupiers.
everyone in the world is either a democrat or a republican. everyone in the whole wide world is a democrat and a republican and america is the largest and most populous country in the world and america is easily the most culturally diverse country in the world because the middle class white people in my state (like a little country) are very different than the middle class white people over there (another little country, once more called a "state") and you could never understand how bad it is in america, the main country in the world. where are you from again? it's bad in america and america is bad but the way that america is run is the only way a country could possibly be run unfortunately. i don't like it but it's the only right way for a country to be run and you don't get it because the main victims of the main country are all here and you aren't. where are you from again? they never told me about that place. i don't think you get that real people live in america. probably because you're a republican. real people live in america and real people are hurt by america but what can you do? god said america has to be like this. god said this because god is real so god is american. you don't get it because you're over there and we're all here in america, the realest country in the world. where are you from again? how can you talk like this with what's happening in america? you're a democrat, right? where are you from again? my country is so large it stretches over yours and presses down hard. it's not my fault that they never told me about that place. my country covers the world. you don't understand how bad this will be for real people in the real world, the first world, the only world. they never told me—where in america are you from again?
Saw someone online recently be genuinely annoyed that Achilles Achilles' Heel was in fact his heel. They were like "what a cliché!" And it took 3 separate people to make them understand that this is where the term originated.
so true

Sooooo few people are actually willing to defend the basic human rights of people who have committed crimes. Like I know it's not fun but if you genuinely believe in human rights as a concept you can't be okay with the state violating them in prisons I'm sorrrrry. Having moral principles is not always a fun time.

If you noticed, most of the updates coming from Gaza the past few days and especially today have been about the famine.
People in Gaza aren’t reporting the massacres because they are starving.
Literally everyone I follow from Gaza has been pleading for food today, mostly flour.
It’s truly unbearable to witness this manufactured starvation plan, imposed by Israel and its allies against besieged Gaza, especially when you know that there is enough food to feed all of Gaza for the next 3 months, stockpiled at a warehouse awaiting entry but being blocked by Israel, according to UNRWA.
I feel immense pain and shame, and I know many of you do as well. Speaking about this is no longer viable, we need to scream.
I also want to say that every donation campaign you see right now is meant to provide food for the families behind them. Remember, there’s practically no food left, so food prices are massively inflated.
My dear friend Amal is trying to fundraise to be able to afford flour for her family. Flour now costs at least $26 a kilo, which is barely enough to feed the family for a day.
My Name is Amal Ashour. I live in Gaza. Hello, Before… Amal Ashour needs your support for Help Amal, her baby and family overcome th
A few dollars might seem unhelpful considering the magnitude of this tragedy, but remember this is a collective effort and we’re all pitching in so that Gaza lives despite Israel’s annihilation plan.
