still one of the most insteresting patterns i've seen with internet harassment campaigns is this agonizing habit to combine or even frontload extremely serious accusations with extremely bullshit ones, or even just like, petty critiques or cringe reacting at art their target has made. one of salem's most prominent harassment blog accused him of all sorts of serious (though obviously spurious) accusations but a lot of them were buried under posts nitpicking how he draws guitar straps. the rodfellows callout doc proclaims to contain a serious accusation of grooming before bogging it under layers and layers of quite frankly embarassing accusations of intelectual property theft cause sometimes the artist drew mickey mouse. any moralizing about christine weston chandler's behavior is rancid transmisogynist dogshit, but it's noteworthy that the harassment campaign started because she made some comics people thought were embarassing.
it's impossible to hide that the serious accusations are post-hoc justification for cringe, people can't handle not liking the thing so they have to accuse of pedophilia, grooming, etc. it's more convenient to argue that the silly puppy art is pedophilic than it is to just not like it and leave it alone.
I think in the case of Salem, the rodfellows movie callout doc, and christine weston chandler, the many many tiny nitpicks build up a volume of weak "evidence" so that it's easier to believe the more serious accusations even in the extremely likely case that the accusations are completely unfounded. The extremely serious accusations then provide moral justification for perpetually needling the victim of harassment, and the stalking generates more evidence. We can pour over every single one of Salem's drawings and nitpick the guitar straps because you see, not only is his art morally bad for depicting fat and trans people in a way that makes me uncomfortable, but he's also a terrible person. We can endlessly extract wealth from making content about Christine, and don't worry, we're actually good people for doing this, because she actually raped her mom [CITATION NEEDED]. It's assurance that you aren't a bully for participating and it's pressure to participate and become part of the hunt, which mostly consists of endlessly stalking and needling every tiny social interaction and every piece of media.
it's both, i think. the volume of weak petty accusations aim to legitimize the one big serious accusation, the serious accusation then becomes a moral cover to continue manufacturing petty accusations.
Okay. Now I'm actually getting mad. I'm seeing people say Jax is bad trans rep not because she was a bad person (not that people have stopped using that shit), but because her semi-official what-if scenario drawings (by Gooseworx and Ashley Nichols) where she did transition portrays her as "hyper-feminine".
You know, the character created by a trans woman as a worst-case scenario for her of what would happen had she never transitioned and a cautionary tale of what happens when you refuse to open up. That character.
Sorry everyone, "Real Women Don't Wear Dresses"!
"Trans people can be transphobic too" Oh, FUCK YOUUU
The agenda is not to make logical sense, be morally consistent, or to actually care about transfem people. The agenda is to hate on her as much as possible for the crime of being transfem and to sound reasonable enough to the widest audiences possible to rope them into group wide transphobia. The violence is the point.
I have thought about this a lot over the past couple of years and I agree that the responsibility of separating Judaism from Zionism sits on the shoulders of anti-Zionist Jews.
I don't expect Palestinians to be responsible for this especially when Israel is killing them and leaving behind Jewish symbols. You can't expect the Palestinian kid who had the star of David carved into his back to stop and say "this is Zionism not Judaism"
The above post makes complete sense to me.
Palestinians don't come into contact with a "hypothetical Zionism" the Zionism they encounter is violent and evil. It's Jewish supremacy.
Us anti-Zionist Jews are obligated to separate it outside of this context. I especially agree with opposing it with action and not just words.
I also want to add that Israel wants everything it does to be a reflection of Judaism. They want the region itself to see it as an extension of Jewish Supremacy because they can use it as a shield from criticism. Historically this has been effective because theyve called any and all opposition of Israel "antisemitic"
We have to actively ignore the Zionist definition of antisemitism. So not only do anti-zionist Jews have to separate Zionism and Judaism, we also have to push back on this dumb definition of "antisemitism" they've crafted
Hey. If people aren't aware, Microsoft admitted they know who you and where you are at all times and will give your info to the police.
They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.
Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.
You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.
This article specifically notes:
For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesn’t care which VPN you use, only that it’s still the same Windows installation.
GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.
Other important quotes:
What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows “surveillance software”.
Two things back that up:
There’s no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Apple’s advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Android’s works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account.
Then there’s activation. Massgrave, the group behind Microsoft Activation Scripts, notes that Windows setup sends hardware info to Microsoft and gets identifiers back, the same tokens later used for Store access and licensing: “It’s impossible to prevent Windows from getting a GDID without breaking activation and UWP app[s].” Anyone who lost a license after swapping a motherboard has already met a smaller version of this.
Here's the complaint filed to the court, the primary source for the case mentioned in the article. You can find mentions of GDID on page 30 of the document or 34 of the PDF.

hi everyone, I'm puppet, a disabled and homeless trans woman, whos been living purely off tumblr donations for a long time, and im now being homeless/couch surfing with my girlfriend, @phantomqueen10001111. we've been staying somewhere for the past couple months, but they are now moving and we only have until the end of august before we are out on the streets of Seattle with no connections or supports.
please, if you live in Seattle or anywhere nearby or know anyone who is or cant and can just share this, please do. please help if you can. we could use a couch to crash or anywhere to stay for any amount of time or if you cant provide that even just friends and connections in the area could help as we arent too knowledgeable about the city.
due to support from some very nice people, if anyone can offer us a place to stay even just a couch we can offer $500 a month for rent, and clean and do chores also!
if you cant help that way, my PayPal is here and my girlfriend's is here
There's so much shit happening but I'll try to be brief.
I'm trans nonbinary, I have two trans kids and my youngest daughter is trans, we've been facing transphobic attacks from my father-in-law which has made our housing situation unsafe.
Aside from that she had a surgery last year but turns out the diagnosis was wrong and the problem is back and worse, she needs another surgery URGENTLY!!! She is in a lot of pain and at risk of urinary, kidney and bladder infections. She is a literal child btw!!!
I can provide proof with the doctor prescriptions and the surgery papers once we can pay it of course.
We had to find a trans friendly urologist for her safety but it is very VERY expensive :C
We're dealing with unemployment, a house full of mold and rust in the water while fighting with our chronic illnesses and disabling pain while caring for my elderly in-laws and our kids.
My friend and mutual is offering commissions to help us raise funds for the surgery, check it out!!!
PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!
$600/$3,500
paypal kofi throne
**will edit later when im a bit more rested and in less pain
Did not sleep all night to be ready for anything my daughter needs, she is still struggling with her health and we're not getting more help for the surgery.
This is going to be s particularly taxiing day because my partner will be out looking for jigs in the neighborhood to get some money.
I'll be completely alone in charge of our kids and caring for my in-laws while sleep deprived, with my chronic pain and running on a couple baby food cups, lol, help
We got $50 that we'll use to get bottled water for the toilet.
If we could please get $25 to afford the laundromat it would be great.
Please keep sharing, we still have to figure out how to pay the bills and rent this month while fundraising for the surgery our daughter needs.
💔 Farah needs you now… before her condition gets worse.
I am a terrified mother worried about my daughter Farah, who has been admitted to the ICU more than once. She suffers from RTA (renal tubular acidosis), low potassium, and metabolic acidosis, and she urgently needs medical follow-up and tests.
🦽 Our goal is now $550 to provide her with a wheelchair that will help her move safely, as well as to complete her medical tests.I don't want to live through the same pain every time I need to move my daughter—begging, crying, and pleading until one of our neighbors kindly lends us their own wheelchair. I simply want Farah to have a wheelchair of her own, so she can move with dignity and safety without me having to ask for help every time.
🙏 Any donation, no matter how small, or even sharing our story, could make a real difference in Farah's life And from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has stood by us, donated, shared our story, or tried to do anything to help us. I will never forget your kindness and your support. 🤍Please pray for her recovery. We are currently trying to complete the medical tests.🙏🏻👩🏻🦼
Note: if you would prefer to pay via paypal, you can do so here.
Wesal always asks me to add my words to her posts, because she thinks that I am better at explaining the situation to you all, since I am in command of the English language. She fears that her emotions aren't adequately communicated when she writes her words and then translates them.
I heartily disagree, which she knows because I tell her so with the honesty and candidness I think I am known for, and I think you will disagree as well.
Here is what she said to me today:
"My little girl is no longer as light as she once was, as she appears to you. She's grown into a young woman, and quite heavy; my back aches when I carry her.
She used to be so light, as if I were holding a piece of my heart in my arms. But today, she's grown up and is too heavy to bear without bending.
But the truth that no one sees … what weighs me down isn't her weight, but my fear for her, the weariness of years, and the sorrow of a mother watching her daughter grow up before her eyes while she can't give her the life she deserves.
Her body has grown, and my weariness has grown with it. But in my eyes, she will always be my little girl, the one I fear to put down, lest I find I can no longer hold her."
Does that not say everything more clearly than I possibly could? Are these words not heartbreaking and the most sincere? Do they not speak of the exhaustion and fear of the mother of a disabled child, and her eternal love for her as well?
But of course I will happily add my words. I know Farah's condition well, because Wesal and I speak almost every day. Farah is currently suffering from hypokalaemia, or potassium deficiency. This is because her potassium supplements have been unavailable for months now. She receives urgent care at the hospital when her potassium levels dip too low, which has happened several times in the last month. But they can only do so much.
One symptom of potassium deficiency is muscle paralysis and muscle cramps. Farah experiences these in her legs when her potassium levels are too low. This means she has difficulty walking, and must be carried instead. But she is sixteen years old now. Carrying a teenager is very different from carrying a young child.
So yes. Farah needs a wheelchair. Wesal needs a wheelchair for her daughter and for her own health. Both mother and daughter deserve this, the dignity as well as safety that would come with being able to transport Farah to the hospital and back.
She cannot carry Farah on her own. She shouldn't. Let's help her.
Farah's fundraiser is vetted by gazavetters, #451. I am the organiser of this campaign. If anyone has any questions about how the money gets to Wesal, I will happily answer them.
💔 What scares me the most is the thought of a day when I can no longer carry my daughter.She has grown, and my body is no longer strong enough… but my heart cannot bear the thought of seeing her need me and not being able to help her.😢For the sake of everyone you love… please help us before that day comes.Your donation today could give my daughter the wheelchair she desperately needs and give a frightened mother a little peace of mind. 🤍🙏From the bottom of my heart, thank you to my friend Oudi, and to every person who carries peace and compassion in their heart for innocent children… You are the hope when hearts are breaking.🤍🕊️
💔 We need 550 to buy a wheelchair for someone in need who is waiting for the kindness of good-hearted people. We haven’t received any donations for days…Please contribute whatever you can. Your donation could give him hope and the ability to move again. 🤍

If anyone can help at all, if you have a place they can stay even for a week or two, or have a network or mutual aid group or anything, please let us know, message me or puppet.
Anything at all to improve their chances while we keep searching
Wow, it's almost like everything that works for covid works for other viruses and that we should be expanding and improving such systems instead of dismantling, defunding, and ignoring them!
