We need more of this. They terrorize us - so demoralize them. Fuck Elon.

[nudityandnerdery]

At their core, these people are bullies. The cruelty is the point.

[thought-and-praxis]

Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?'

The answer is, you're doing it. Right now.

On Lilly Bushnell

So I know I am a haha-funny linguistics blog but I heard some discourse that I have an opinion on so I'm going in.

On Activism

A lot of people are looking into Bushnell's actions and arguing back and forth on the effectiveness of her activism as the reason for its legitimacy. I would argue that this is missing the point. The truth is that doing something is better than doing nothing and people who attempt to maximize their effectiveness will probably never do anything. She is good because she picked a reasonably good thing to do and did it. The people arguing about this most likely didn't do anything because they are too busy trying to find the best thing to do instead of just doing something.

On Queer People

One of the widely-believed narratives about queer people is that we are all privileged California liberals who live in coffee shops. This belief is widely espoused on the right but is also prevalent on the left especially among anti-imperialists. While the right believes that queer people are out-of-touch assholes with no real problems who stop them from having jobs over menial bullshit (and will say all of this out loud) the left believes that queer people in the west all work for Raytheon and unironically think that bombing the Levant will cause gay marriages in the middle east (and don't know they believe this). As a result they believe that the oppression of queer people is some lesser type of oppression and therefore the only real sides in oppression are empire vs third world and because some queer people live in the west they must agree and work for the empire. That's why they are hysterical about the idea of Bushnell being queer. If Hamas, the PFLP, and the Houthis are supporting a queer person then their worldview comes crumbling down.

I’m just finding out that Aaron Bushnell commented on a Reddit thread about transitioning in the Air Force expressing that she wished she was as strong and that it looks like the name she chose was Lilly. Not only did we lose someone fighting for a free Palestine, the trans community also lost ANOTHER sister. May you rest easy, Lilly.

Shut Elbit Down!

Lilly knew exactly how dangerous Elbit Systems are, and she tried to spread awareness that we must Shut Elbit Down at all costs.

Prolekult went to see the Palestine Action occupation of UAV Tactical Systems, owned by Elbit Systems - Israel's largest arms firm on 1 May, 2023. Elbit provides 85% of Israel’s military drone fleet, many of which are armed.

Here’s a screenshot of how I found Lilly’s Reddit post, and her YouTube comment.

A trans women lit herself on fire to protest the Israeli occupation but people just spit on her memory

[cutecipher]

Her name was Lily, she was an anarchist, she fought back

[strawhatsufi]

Is there any real information on this? I've found some stuff about someone of a conspicuously undisclosed age and gender in front of the "Israeli consulate" in Atlanta in December 2023, is that her?

There is nobody who actually believes 90-ghost is a scammer. as far as I remember he’s been on here for years how fucking evil can people be to defame someone who not only has lived under genocide but also has made immeasurable efforts to help other people throughout everything he’s been through. Anyone claiming otherwise is doing so intentionally

[el-shab-hussein]

Everyone knows there has been an article written about him, when he was interviewed while in Gaza, and his family has been on the news before for tragic reasons. A significant portion of the users who have been advocating for him have followed him since November or December of 2023, and he posted videos and pictures frequently of his living conditions, including his face in the videos. It's not a matter of lack of knowledge, and even if it was there's no reason to be pursuing a 'guilty until innocent' perspective against him without it being very clearly racially motivated. Tumblr has thoroughly dehumanized the Palestinian users on this website and made the verbal abuse and harassment of genocide survivors an actual legitimate activity this website's users will partake in. I'm not sure this is something you could've said about Tumblr 2 years ago.

I will remember this as the website that tried to harass a Palestinian genocide survivor off the platform with false, baseless accusations.

In flames she stood tall

Lilly sacrificed herself

You can order free shipping labels from USPS or snag some next time you’re at your local post office.

That’s one way to theoretically put your tax dollars to work, it could shift some tax dollars to the USPS that would’ve been used to send arms and troops to Israel.

It’s just an idea — Anyways, go forth and make protest art!

Free Palestine! 🇵🇸

Bushnell thought Dune was based

With the recent release of Dune 2, I thought I’d share some previous comments of Bushnell’s about Dune and one of the memes that they had interacted with.

We hope she would’ve appreciated and loved this altar.

I legitimately am not angry at vote blues anymore because I could not care less but I feel like you guys so fully abstracted the current intensity of the situation at hand to absolve yourselves of any guilt you might feel. I really don't think you guys properly register the fact that you're voting for a genocider, this isn't me passing judgement this is purely an observational statement. I just think it's really odd to have this dissonance.
