Israel is burning children alive in tents. Israel had not stopped killing Palestinians and stealing even more land.
Israel is killing thousands of civilians in Lebanon. Israel wants the US to keep killing civilians and school children in Iran.
Until Israelis stop being the worst humanity has to offer I don't care how unsafe they feel in the world.

Only one thing y’all can take from trans women. Notes.
i hope all of these girls have a great day and i love the girl who forgot her wig but the sis with the hijabi damn near made me cry sob i love this <3333333
Another thing abt this video: nearly every beauty involved is Indigenous or Black, the two minority groups of trans women that frequently get left out of discussions when it comes to highlighting trans women and their beauty, and the two groups at the highest risk of violence while trans. These women deserve love and praise just like y’all’s favorite white women do. Show up for Black and Indigenous trans women.
Breathe and be.

Do you have any resources about the history of bryology as a field?
Uh, no. Sorry. I don't really study bryology. Good luck in your endevours!
Wait nevermind. I spoke too soon:
Free download of Bryophyte Ecology by Janice M. Glime. It should have a chapter or 2 on the history.
Israel has not honored the ceasefire for a single moment.
It has completely ignored President Trump’s peace plan, operating without restraint and entirely outside the bounds of any law, doing exactly as it pleases.
Since the supposed "ceasefire" began, more than 900 martyrs have fallen in the Gaza Strip at the hands of the Israeli occupation.
My brother Samer is racing against time. From a life-threatening coma due to a lack of bipolar medication to severe injuries from a devastating bombing. He is now caught between waiting for urgent medical travel and struggling to survive on limited medications.
Please, we need your help to save his life.🙏
random PSA, I know a lot of people use duckduckgo as a Google alternative search engine, but it always kind of annoyed me when I was using it because it felt like No Name Brand Google
I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.
also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo
also private, European based, least annoying search I've used lately (RIP old "don't be evil" Google)
Keeping a list of Google alternatives just in case…
i have one of those, scraped from multiple different rec posts:
Search Engines
Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy
DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Uses bangs, ![site] for in-page search (sells your data to microsoft and draws from fucking bing)
WolframAlpha is a privately owned search engine that allows you to “compute expert-level answers using Wolfram’s breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology.” A data search engine.
Boardreader is a search engine for forums and message boards. It allows you to search forums and then filter down results by date and language.
Based in France, Qwant is a privacy-based search engine that won’t record your searches or use your personal details for advertising. Uses “&” as a bang search.
Another privacy-based search engine is Search Encrypt, which uses local encryption to ensure that users’ identifiable information cannot be tracked. Metasearch across multiple engines.
Offering unbiased results from several sources, SearX is a metasearch engine that aims to present a free, decentralized view of the internet. Can be self-hosted.
Gibiru’s tagline is “Unfiltered private search” and that’s exactly what it offers. Requires AnonymoX Firefox add-on for privacy.
Disconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice.
Swisscows provides fully encrypted searches to protect your privacy and security. Built-in violence/porn filter cannot be overridden.
MetaGer offers “Privacy Protected Search & Find” through its anonymised search. A plugin will allow it to be made a default.
Gigablast is a private search engine that indexes millions of websites and servers real-time information without tracking your data, keeping you hidden from marketers and spammers. Variety of filtration and refinement options for searching.
Oscobo is a search engine that protects your privacy while you search the web. By not using any third-party tools or scripts, your data is protected from hacking and misuse. Has a Chrome extension to allow use in toolbar.
https://search.marginalia.nu/ an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Use old-school searching rather than query-based for the best results.
https://www.mojeek.com/
https://wiby.me/ - It’s goal is to index as many personalized websites as possible, and NOT commercial sites.
https://4get.ca/ it works a lot like SearX, but honestly better. It doesn’t have its own index, but pulls from many others. I think it’s the best for research, since it allows you to search for answers from different indexes, is easy to configure, add free, and avoids censorship as much as it can.
https://www.searchenginemap.com/ for more on how search engines relate to each other.
https://yep.com/ is a crawler
https://www.etools.ch/ retrieves from Google, Mojeek, Bing, and Yandex, like Searx

i hope that someday there will be no more advertisements ever again
being online is becoming.. such a drag. this used to be fun! this used to be so much easier for communities to build! to find art you like! I feel like I open my dumb little screen to write something or find inspiration and immediately enter an espionage scene with a room full of real red lasers in trying to avoid any contact with AI and ads and some horrible news headline and oh! some idiot is trying to convince me nazism had some points, though! and I scroll so quick around this shit and still get so laser-burnt up because my joints and dextrous spy flips and knee bending aren't what they used to be. every screen loves to serve me garbage. it's such a bummer! I open this dumb window to places I used to enjoy spending time on and now feel so gross!! I feel like I'm reaching back for something that is only an echo of what it was! where do we go from here!!
proponents of the sex binary love to say that the Essence of your sex is stored only in one or another part of your body, and this Essence loves to move the moment it's pointed out that that aspect is not always aligned with one's other sex characteristics via being intersex or transsexual
"sex is in your genitals, I mean it's in your chromosomes, uh I mean it's in the size of gamete your body produces, uh I mean it's in the size of gamete your body is intended (???) to produce"
there are plenty of body parts that are regularly attributed to sex, and yet people are terrified of the idea that they may not always come in one of two particular configurations
all the talk about which part your Sex Essence really lies in is just drawing and redrawing linguistic boundaries as a method of erasing intersex and transsexual people. it's pure word games played to deny reality and define those of us without either of the two most common configurations of body parts out of existence

I love it when a researcher from a marginalized group proves an important point.

the most fun a girl can have is finding parallels, noticing patterns, making connections, contemplating
a surprising number of people see the term "social construct" and think that it means something is not real when it actually means something is so very real because it was created by us and is constantly enforced, often violently
The way adult fandom people hold indie online creators and cartoons to a much higher standard than their actual local politicians. You could be putting that energy into terrorizing and protesting conservatives at your town hall and actually make a good material impact on the world but instead you're background checking everything the trans woman who made the amazing digital circus has ever said
The point isn't "stop criticizing indie artists" or "defend your favorite show under this post". I don't even watch Digital Circus and no one is above criticism. Literally every indie show is getting torn to shreds on twitter right now and I'm not saying this to defend anyone I don't know. The point is "someone who actually has the power to kill us all and get away with it deserves way more ire and accountability than a cartoonist and I expect grown adults to understand this"
