No citizens of any country are somehow inherently bad or evil because of their government. Full stop. That includes Russian citizens, Israeli citizens, Palestinian citizens, Chinese citizens, Iranian citizens, North Korean citizens, etc.

Everyone in this world is just living their lives, each with their own complex needs and desires and interests and emotions. They all have hobbies and friends and families and favorite foods. They all have their own motivations and varying political opinions and views on their governments. They all weigh the risks of standing out or speaking up and they all make their own decisions about that.

They all fear the same in times of danger. They all feel grief and pain and terror the same. They all love and hate and bleed the same.

They are people. They are no different from anyone else, they are not monsters or caricatures or nameless bodies in videos. Complexity and humanity are not exclusive to your country, to people like you.

The villain, my boss, who I view as a paternal figure: (giving instructions) Do you understand, boy?

Me, a mere henchman: Got it boss!

My boss: (patting my shoulder) Good lad. Go off and do my bidding

Me: (fucks it up immediately)

More people need to read rpf and feel some fucking whimsy in their hearts I think

as much fun as posting is PLEASE be sensible about what you say online

There is quite literally a database being compiled of full names, social media handles, and in some cases employers of people who have made fun of him or celebrated his death. Some of the submissions are screenshots of DMs or close friends stories, I'm sure many are also from private accounts, meaning whoever submitted it was not assumed by the poster to be someone who would literally doxx them in a searchable online database

This is a great time to consider setting any social media profiles attached to your real life, name, and/or face to private and remove anyone you don't trust from your followers. Review your digital footprint and work backwards. How easy would it be, based on things you've said online, for someone to find your real identity and location?

cnn article about the coordinated right wing effort to ruin the lives of people who celebrate kirk's death or refuse to express sympathy or even criticize him. The website is compiling a searchable database doxxing kirk's critics claim they have received 30,000 submissions. some of those will be duplicates, especially when it comes to high profile individuals, and some will be troll submissions, but based on what I have seen (which is purely anecdotal, but that's really all we have at the moment), I think most of them are not. Literal congresspeople are participating in this harassment campaign.

I have seen totally normal people on reddit asking for advice because they posted a meme on Instagram, someone reported them to this website, and now they, their families, and their workplaces are being inundated with harassment and death threats. They are confused and terrified because nothing like this has ever happened to them and they never thought it would. They're not influencers, they're not activists, they're not chronic posters in niche online communities.

The goal of this campaign is not just to drive people to delete their posts or profiles, it's to ruin their lives. As one person put it in the replies of a video game dev who was fired from Sony put it, "She's been fired. When she finds work somewhere else, we will get her fired again, and again, and again."

This isn't to say that we shouldn't speak publicly about our opinions or refuse to participate in this whitewashing of kirk and his work. But we should do so intentionally and remain aware of the risks. Most of these posts people are being targeted over are not thoughtful statements, they're off the cuff reactions or memes. We are in a state of unprecedented online surveillance at a time when many people's real lives are also virtually inseparable from their online lives

great article from margaret killjoy to get you thinking about how to reduce your digital footprint

I need you folks who are going back to school to understand this, sleep deprivation is not something to be proud of. You are being fed capitalist propaganda to make you believe that working yourself to the bone is a good and smart business model from a young age. If all you do is “get 3 hours of sleep” because you’re studying, you’re just gonna burn out quicker, forget the information you’re trying to cram, and cause your brain to cannibalize itself.

Do not compete by making unhealthy habits. This will only fuck you up in the long run.

I’d like to thank Carrie Hope Fletcher for helping me feel the aromantic feelings before I knew what aromanticism was. “A princess needs a friend where the laughter won’t end / that’s worth more than a prince who can charm” still goes hard

Hey guys something fucking bad happened

KOSA/the kids online safety act has been reintroduced into legislature after it passed Senate last year and then got snubbed. It is not unlike the bill that just passed in the UK a few weeks ago. If you don't want what happened in the UK to happen here, now would be a good time to vocally oppose it.

Here is a petition that can be signed by Americans. Attached to the petition is an easy tool that allows you to call and leave messages for your representatives. I have already done so. You can also email your representatives by searching for their name, most have message submission boards as well. This thing died once, it can die again.

Please sign/share the petition and contact your representatives.
