I posted a screenshot of a YouTube short from a podiatrist talking about toe hair... But the foot was on a sparkly pink shag carpet, which managed to make the toe gap look like a pussy, which to be fair is why I posted it, I thought it was really funny. Tumblr didn't share my sense of humour, it was flagged as explicit content and I appealed it because it was very much not a pussy and they nuked my whole account on appeal.
At a time where jewish groups are being banned from pride events, you do not get to use Anne Franke, a dead jew murdered for being jewish before she could ever come out, as a puppet for whatever queer rights message you want to share.
You do not get to profit, financially or attention wise or another way, off of a *potentially* queer jew whilst we are banned from pride events.
We do not know if she was questioning her sexuality but ultimately straight or if she was actually queer because she was killed for the crime of existing as a jew before she could come out. Queer rights obviously matter. Anne Franke is not the person you should be using.
You need to protect alive queer jews. You need to love all jews, not just the dead ones.
I've had to delete multiple comments missing the point of the post
"But they banned zionists not jews", they banned jewish organizations, who refused to say they disavowed israel. That's like asking a local Chinese diaspora group to disavow the CCP or they can't be at pride.
The reason why its antisemitic is because its treating jewish organizations as guilty until proven innocent. Its treating jewish organizations as somehow being responsible for a foreign government's actions. Jewish organizations have to say again and again that they do not support the Israeli government to be allowed to exist in public. Its an extra step that non jewish organizations do not face. That's the antisemitism of it all. No other group was forced to disavow israel to attend pride.
Is there a Reason that Atom Eve in Invincible is so comparatively weak?
Like, she can rewrite matter at will. She should be able to turn a man's bones into uranium and give him super cancer and anemia in one move. Instead she just makes pink shields that enemies punch through regularly.
oh my god i just saw her get onto an airship with a woman whose tophat has at least twice as many sprockets as mine. i will be killing myself with an elaborate pneumatic pistol tonight
the problem with israel is that they had so much goodwill following oct 7 because it was really such a horrific attack. all they had to do was respond more or less in kind and then sit back down and everything would be great. but no, they just couldn't stop killing and invading all their neighbours, and then that wasn't enough and they are just pissing off half the world for no good reason. like idk i think it's so easy not to accept stolen ukrainian grain from russia. the first time they were like oh you were too late to tell us this grain was stolen (ukraine was not too late). but now it's the second time already, and they started with "you did not tell us" (did too, and also this is literally the second time), then moved on to "you told us but there's no proof it's true" (there is lmao), and finally just ended up with "fuck you, don't tell us we can't buy stolen grain from russia and therefore finance their war against you". like literally i just think it is so easy not to do these things. and yet
...These are a lot of words for "I hate Israel but not the Joos I'm not a Nazi!"
Also "killing and invading their neighbors?" Did you not know Hezbollah and Hamas were the ones to attack Israel in the first place, after Israel had given them time and time again, the chance to not be psychotic Jew haters? Hamas were given resources and cash and what did they do with it? Initiate the worst attack on the Jewish people since the holocaust.
Hezbollah made the north's life a living hell for decades and you expect Israel to show them any goodwill?
I will ask you this- will I see you condemn Iran or North Korea for doing far worse? For executing innocent civilians or legalizing rape?

ALLL THEY HAD TO DO was murder and rape and behead and dismember and kidnap children just like my little blorbos!!!!!!! THEN no one would hate them [for waging a war they did not start, endangering their own soldiers in attempts to minimize civilian casualties, using taxpayer funds to provide aid they KNOW will be used to hurt them, spending millions providing healthcare to those who orchestrate the murder of jews (and their allies)]
Good will?????? WHERE?! There were anti Israel protests onmy campus calling it a genocide on OCTOBER 10th!!!! Israeli retaliation didn’t even BEGIN until October 12th. What planet are you on????
I saw people on this very site cheering in the comments of a video of an Israeli child hostage being abused by Hamas militants on the day of the attacks. What "good will"?
People chanted "gas the Jews" and protested against lighting the Sydney Opera House in the Flag of Israel, on the same day as the Massacre. There was never good will, there was celebration.
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
I saw a comment on your blog that says 'the way you eat does not cause diabetes'...are you able to expand on that or provide a source I could read? I've been told by doctors that my pre-diabetes was due to weight gain because I get more hungry on my anti psychotics and I'd like to fact check what they've told me! Thank you so much!
There are a lot more factors at play in diabetes — more complicated than “I had a cupcake at lunch.”
Pre-diabetes was rejected as a diagnosis by the World Health Organization (although it is used by the US and UK) - the correct term for the condition is impaired glucose tolerance. Approximately 2% of people with "pre-diabetes" go on to develop diabetes per year. You heard that right - TWO PERCENT. Most diabetics actually skip the pre-diabetic phase.
There are currently no treatments for pre-diabetes besides intentional weight loss. (Hmm, that's convenient, right?) There has yet to be evidence that losing weight prevents progression from pre-diabetes to T2DM beyond a year. Interestingly, drug companies are trying to persuade the medical world to start treating patients earlier and earlier. They are using the term “pre-diabetes” to sell their drugs (including Wegovy, a weight-loss drug). Surgeons are using it to sell weight loss surgery. Everyone’s a winner, right? Not patients. Especially fat patients.
Check out these articles:
Prediabetes: The epidemic that never was, and shouldn’t be
The war on ‘prediabetes' could be a boon for pharma—but is it good medicine?
Also - I love what Dr. Asher Larmie @fatdoctorUK has to say about T2DM and insulin resistance, so here's one of their threads I pulled from Twitter:
1️⃣ You can't prevent insulin resistance. It's coded in your DNA. It may be impacted by your environment. Studies have shown it has nothing to do with your BMI.
2️⃣ The term "pre-diabetes" is a PR stunt. The correct term is impaired glucose tolerance (or impaired fasting glucose) which is sometimes referred to as intermittent hyperglycemia. It does not predict T2DM. It is best ignored and tested for every 3-5yrs.
3️⃣ there is no evidence that losing weight prevents diabetes. That's because you can't reverse insulin resistance. You can possibly postpone it by 2yrs? Furthermore there is evidence that those who are fat at the time of diagnosis fair much better than those who are thin.
4️⃣ Weight loss does not reverse diabetes in the VAST majority of people. Those that do reverse it are usually thinner with recent onset T2DM and a low A1c. Only a tiny minority can sustain that over 2yrs. Weight loss does not improve A1c levels beyond 2 yrs either.
5️⃣ Weight loss in T2DM does not improve macrovascular or microvascular health outcomes beyond 2 years. In fact, weight loss in diabetics is associated with increased mortality and morbidity (although it is not clear why). Weight cycling is known to impacts A1c levels.
6️⃣ Weight GAIN does NOT increase the risk of cardiovascular OR all causes mortality in diabetics. In fact, one might even go so far as to say that it's better to be fat and diabetic than to be thin and diabetic.
Dr. Larmie cites 18 peer reviewed journal articles (most from the last decade) that are included in their webinar on the subject, linked below.
I said it before, but losing my rather extensive catalogue of blocked blogs is a real shame... Having my post reblogged by a blog that also happily supports the idea that trans women in sports are just men trying to get ahead.
Me going "wait, I'm pretty sure I blocked that blog before for a reason" and not having to scroll far to find it.
Maybe your blogs name was just too obscene! Testicles are a very serious topic and not a joking matter, and desecrating the name of one of our greatest talmidei Chachamim with a perverse joke could be what got you banned
I wake up. I check the news. I read an article about how antisemitism has increased yet again in a country. I clock into work. I go to lunch and wonder if my subway guy who is always excited to see me and writes my name with a little design every day would still treat me the same if he knew i was jewish. Clock out. I walk home through alley ways to avoid walking past people who have explicity called for the death of jews. I spend some times on my hobbies, maybe see a friend. Eat dinner. Check social media to see people local to me spread antisemitism, and maybe i even ruminate on the antisemitism i experienced irl that week. I go to sleep. I wake up, check the news and see an article about how another country also has had an increase in antisemitism. I clock into work....
Not even in an "I'm outraged" kind of way, in a "genuinely perplexed as to what could be going on behind the scenes to produce these outcomes." I want to stop staring at the shadows on the wall and exit Plato's allegory of the website moderation
Watching a video about Mohamed Semra, who is actually now the Mayor of the City of Maribyrnong which is where I used to live in Melbourne. He seems like a nice guy.
But this is actually about his mum, who just said "my Mohamed is the best Mohamed", which is possibly the funniest way any mother has ever said her son is the best boy.
I found a clip from the report. The actual mama quote is "Mohamed is a very very good boy, the best Mohamed".
Absolute sweetheart, I too would be flustered with that many News cameras in my face asking me for a comment on my son becoming Mayor after coming to the country as a refugee.
