Block these sites in your uBlock Origin so you won't see that shit in your searches

[autumnslance]

The extension in the screenshot is uBlacklist and it's quite easy to use, both manually from the control panel to add the sites with the asterisk, or when in a search results page and clicking the "block this site" option. It's how I've gotten rid of random Pinterest site results, too.

They also provide subscription lists that keep up sites such as these and others on their github:

uBlacklist works on a number of browsers, including Firefox mobile for Android. Crucially, it also functions with other search engines: you just have to go into the addon's menu and enable "Other Search Engines", then select which ones you use.

It supports blocking on Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Qwant, SearX, Startpage.com, Yahoo! Japan, and Yandex.

I’m reposting this with a link to some sources from the OP, btw; I’m sorry for not tagging them, but Tumblr won’t let me and I’m guessing it’s a privacy settings thing.

Ancient Mesopotamian Transgender and Non-Binary Identities - by Morg Daniels

There is evidence of complex gender identities in Ancient Mesopotamia, particularly in the cult of the goddess Inanna and her priests.

Take a good look at the countries leading/have started the legal battles to hold the IOF accountable -their fights to end IOF terrorism and war crimes, as this should have been done months ago, are now beginning.

So many Palestinian people have been genocided, and the rampant global government inaction has caused chaos, death, and destruction of Gaza... I just hope this leads to a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation. I truly do.

COVID antiviral Paxlovid to see price increase following 400% vaccine hike

The new price is not set, but one analyst suggested it could be up to 5x higher.

After raising the price of COVID-19 vaccines more than four-fold this year, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told investors Monday that the company will also likely hike the price of its lifesaving COVID-19 antiviral treatment, Paxlovid, raising further concern about access and healthcare costs.

[femonologue]

Remember when everyone on earth started shitting on Martin Shkreli for cranking up the price of AIDS medicine? Time to do the same for Albert Bourla. Everyone needs to know his name, and everyone needs to virulently and vocally hate his goddamn guts.

Kent State University

[tiredtransgal]

“The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]”

“There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]”

Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lol

[solarpunkcast]

Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…

Another picture from Kent State.

But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.

[saurons-optometrist]

Btw half of the students killed at Kent State weren’t even protesting, they were just there

What in the absolute fuck

When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but it’s suspiciously hard for Americans to learn about…

[particularly-stupid-angel]

Some of the most famous musicians in the country wrote songs about it, and it’s still obscure.

Fun Fact: Amtrak legally has priority over freight trains, the issue is there is no governing body to enforce this and because freight trains have gotten so long, they can't fit on the sidings made for Amtrak trains to pass them, leading to many delays on train travel

[leaf-me-in-the-woods]

this is not a fun fact

[queer-as-city-folk]

Fun Fact: Amtrak can not legally charge freight companies a tax for delays as it is technically a private company despite being government owned

[katsdom]

And, if you want to do something useful about these sorts of issues, there is a good advocacy group that works to better train service and for things like enforcing the rules on the freight companies:

Today at South Africa's Global Day of Action for Gaza, the Gift of the Givers Foundation handed out roses as part of their Roses For Palestine Campaign. Each Rose had a message on for a martyred child of Gaza and a QR code on the back to donate to this campaign.

This was my rose. I understand all of us are not able to donate to this campaign, but just sharing is enough.

Here's the link, too.

seeing a few people from within Gaza report complete shutdown of communications again. this had happened multiple times since October and it usually precedes intense bombardment. don't be distracted by the icj proceedings and forget that the genocide is in fact actively ongoing. today alone (jan 12) Gaza witnessed 13 massacres that killed over 150 Palestinians according to the ministry of health in Gaza.
