actually fucking disgusting that glasses cost any money like if you actually think about it for more than a few seconds it is so unconscionably inhumane. this goes for things like insulin and mobility aids and hearing aids too ofc but fuck man, fucking glasses? the thing you need to fucking see? its genuinely sickening and inhumanly evil that those cost ANYTHING.

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon

I wish they made it even marginally possible to get a job like I’m so fucking sorry I don’t have a rare but also highly demanded skillset, an agreeable disposition, and the ability to survive off of three nickels a week I’m soooo sorry

Gerard Way Reads the Milk Fic: A Saga

I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are

Not deterred by the closed door

Working as a group

Protecting their identities

Inflicting material costs to the institution via property destruction

Getting away at the end

These ideas were not all here from the beginning. They are genuinely gaining experience that can be applied elsewhere

The church of scientology is on tumblr and they are sending me anon asks telling me that they can't even commit to reporting a post

Hello guys, sorry for long time no art but I’ve been busy on my other platforms sharing resources and news for the Black Lives Matter movement, so art is currently on pause.

Either way, this is a guide I illustrated for user chivrik on Instagram on how to properly blur and de-trace protest photos. Many protesters have gone missing or turned up dead because they were traced through images they appeared on. Don’t help pigs and protect one another. ACAB and Black lives always matter.

If you need tips on protests, what is acab, defunding/reform of police, how to stay safe and links for charities/petitions, my Instagram is @/paperballz and there are saved highlights with the information. Or you can dm me.

honestly as someone who’s worked a bit w/ this kind of thing, blacking out identifying features with squares in ms paint is probably the most effective way of censoring people’s faces. I don’t know what exactly the police are capable of extracting from blurred images, but it’s definitely more than what they’ll get from deleted pixels, and when you’re spreading images of protesters you should be as careful as possible.

[resource-ids]

[id: Informational guide that reads: “A small guide to blurring out faces.

Why should I even care about it?” This is followed by a selection of news articles and tweets reading: “Mysterious Deaths Leave Ferguson Activists ‘On Pins and Needles’”; “A List of All Suspicious Deaths of Ferguson Activists”; Deaths of Ferguson activists lead some to believe something sinister is at play"; “Why Are So Many Ferguson Protesters Dying? Activists wonder is They’re Being Targeted”; “@NewJerseyOAG put a moratorium on Clearview AI’s chilling, unregulated facial recognition software”; “Six young men with connections to the Ferguson protests, including Crawford, have died in the 4 ½ years following the demonstrations”; and “Seeking Information on Individuals Inciting Violence During First Amendment-Protected Peaceful Demonstrations.”

The guide continues: “What to do before blurring: Use a clone stamp tool in Photoshop over a person’s face and other identifiable features. To be completely safe add multiple emojis or randomised images on top of the face. This step can also replace blurring and save the ‘original’ look of your image.

Image Scrubber: This is a very simple tool that you can use both on PC and on your phone. This will also let you delete EXIF data before working with the picture.

Signal: This app securely encrypts your messages so they cannot be tracked, thus making it a great app for communication during protests. It recently added a feature where you can also blur out faces by either allowing the app to do it automatically or draw over things manually.

Facepixelizer: Another great tool similar to Image Scrubber, although it doesn’t let you delete the EXIF data. Works only within your browser and never sends images over network.

Important: Always remember to delete EXIF data - it can be done by right-clicking on the picture, and in Properties/Details click on “Remove Properties and Personal Information”. However, doing so manually will not always remove all information, so I recommend the BatchPurifier Lite software. The safest way to keep all the information private is to screenshot the finished blurred picture and post the screenshot - that will always work 100% correctly. Always remember that if you don’t have Photoshop - simply drawing a black square over someone’s face is better than nothing.“ End id.]

Seconding thyrell’s addition here, black boxes are generally better than blurring–but make sure you’re using an app that doesn’t save what’s underneath the black box, as well! I seem to recall Snapchat and Twitters’ in-app image editors preserve the image under the stickers and marks.

One thing you can do to scrub some EXIF data is to take a screenshot of the image; that way, the image’s data will just be that of the screenshot instead of the photo as it was taken. Ultimately it’s better to follow the advice laid out above just to get rid of everything, but in a pinch screenshotting is better than nothing. Make sure to crop out the top bar of your phone screen that displays the time and other info.

Additionally, it was shown in the tutorial but not really explained–censor any other identifying visuals on the person, too! Tattoos are a big one, but also piercings, unique shirt designs or other clothing/accessories (remember that one story where the police tracked someone down based on a shirt they’d ordered off Etsy), etc. Ideally people should be going to protests with as few visual identifiers as possible, but in the event that these are visible, they should be censored as well.

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

[elenorasweet]

my favourite thing in the world is shows that interview academics and scientists because they're like LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT MY RESEARCH

Flint Dibble on youtube interviews archaeologists, Liv Albert interviews classissists and historians, they're so gd excited to share every time

scientists want to tell you all about their particular niche so bad
