I know this is tempting but please don't feed immolationdeer gasoline; the refined hydrocarbons aren't good for them in a metabolic sense and this can really mess them up. Also if they're getting all the refined hydrocarbons they want, they're not eating resinous (mostly coniferous) deadwood off the forest floor and in suburban areas that can meaningfully contribute to wildfires over time. If you really must hand feed immolationdeer in your area because they're so cute and so sweet and you want pictures of you handfeeding wildlife like a Disney princess, consider carrying around fatwood twigs , natural pine resin chunks, or even just paraffin and sawdust based fire starters. These are much closer to their natural diet while still being rich enough to count as treats, and provide much more nutrition.
i hope they never stop using floppy disk icons to indicate saving your file. doesn't matter how obsolete they are it's like honouring someone with a portrait on your currency
Love every single one of these eggs. No yeah of course it's still okay to write your vampire story or whatever, even if a thousand people have done it before you. Your art will still be uniquely yours and people will find something fresh in your perspective. Paint your egg.
Say that again? I'm sorry. I got distracted by your little mannerisms, how you pronounce certain words, and the way your eyes light up when you talk about something you're passionate about, and started day dreaming about spending my life making you laugh, and feel loved and cherished
mythbusters is really good at being extremely timeless but occasionally kari wears something that violently reminds me that this show was filmed in the 2000ās.
another classic āthis was filmed in the late 2000ās/early 2010āsā look from her. i wanna make a collection. also sheās wearing this particular outfit to a radiation facility and is about 2 feet from the line you cannot cross or else you risk exposure to radiation.

From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free šµšøšµšøšµšø
-----
Edit 1: took the first video down because turns out the animator is a terf and it links to her blog. Really sorry for any distress.
Edit 2: All recommended readings + Haymarket recommendations + essential decolonization texts have been uploaded to my linked gdrive. I will adding more periodically. Please do buy or check them out from the library if possible, but this post was made for and by poor and gatekept Global South bitches like me.
Some have complained about the memes being disrespectful. You're actually legally obligated to make fun of Israeli propaganda and Zionists. I don't make the rules.
Edit 3: "The river to the sea" does not mean the expulsion of Jews from Palestine. Believing that is genocide apologia.
Edit 4: Gazans have specifically asked us to put every effort into pushing for a ceasefire instead of donations. "Raising humanitarian aid" is a grift Western governments are pushing right now to deflect from the fact that they're sending billions to Israel to keep carpet bombing Gazans. As long as the blockades are still in place there will never be enough aid for two million people. (UPDATE: PLEASE DONATE to the Gazan's GoFundMe fundraisers to help them buy food and get out of Rafah into Egypt. E-SIMs, food and medical supplies are also essential. Please donate to the orgs linked in the How You Can Help. Go on the strikes. DO NOT STOP PROTESTING.)
Edit 5: Google drive link for academic books folder has been fixed. Also have added a ton of resources to all the other folders so please check them out.
Edit 6: Added interactive maps, Jadaliya channel, and masterlists of donation links and protest support and of factsheets.
The twitter accounts I reposted as it was given to me and I just now realized it had too many Israeli voices and almost none of the Palestinians I'm following, so it's being edited. (Update: done!) also removed sources like Jewish Voices of Peace and Breaking the Silence that do good work but have come under fair criticism from Palestinians.
Edit 7: Complete reformatting
Edit 8: Complete revamping of the social media section. It now reflects my own following list.
Edit 9: removed some more problematic people from the allies list. Remember that the 2SS is a grift that's used to normalize violence and occupation, kids. Supporting the one-state solution is lowest possible bar for allyship. It's "Free Palestine" not "Free half of Palestine and hope Israel doesn't go right back to killing them".
Edit 10: added The Palestine Directory + Al Jazeera documentary + Addameer. This "100 links per post" thing sucks.
Edit 11: more documentaries and films
Edit 12: reformatted reading list
Edit 13: had to remove @palipunk's masterlist to add another podcast. It's their pinned post and has more resources Palestinian culture and crafts if you want to check it out
Edit 14 6th May '24: I've stopped updating this masterlist so some things, like journalists still left in Gaza and how to support the student protests are missing. I've had to take a step back and am no longer able to track these things down on my own, and I've hit the '100 links per post' limit, but if you can leave suggestions for updates along with links in either the replies or my asks I will try and add them.
Edit 15 10th August: added to Palestinian allies list and reworked the Help for Palestine section. There's been a racist harrassment campaign against the Palestinian Tumblrs that vetted the Gaza fundraisers based off one mistake made by a Gazan who doesn't understand English. If you're an ally, shut that shit down. Even if you donate to a scam GFM, you're only out some coffee money; if everyone stops donating to all the GFMs in fear of scams, those families die.
Edit 16: removed entire section of allied accounts since the liberation of Syria because apparently leftists in the West are unable to both be against the Israel's genocide of Palestinians and Assad's genocide of Syrians. I should have treated the use of "Axis of Resistance" as the Tankie dog whistle it was.
Edit 17: Removed the Uncommitted Movement to pressure the Harris Presidential Campaign for obvious reasons.
Edit 18: Operation Olive Branch has come under fire for their lack of transparency, unethical behaviour and reporting their own volunteers to the FBI. Always be wary of white people spearheading anything to do with liberatory movements, from conversations to organizations.
I've been accused of thinking men are ontologically evil a couple of times, and to be clear, I would never absolve shitty dudes of responsibility like that. Men who are evil have the opportunity to choose otherwise.
A better world is possible, and preventing it from being built is a group effort with a large number of knowing, willing participants. Morally that's worse than if they couldn't help it, actually.
I have seen men choose to talk in crass and dehumanizing terms about the women they profess to love, even when themselves uncomfortable with the language, simply for the approval of male peers.
They're not innately evil. They exist in a social, cultural, and legal context that demands misogyny from them, that frequently enables misogynistic violence free of consequence, and the rewards for doing so are just tantalizing enough that most never unpack their beliefs about "women's place" in the world, never bother to think about the consequences of their actions and words, never consider that the humanity they take for granted is something they often refuse to extend those placed below their sex-caste.
It would be so simple if men were just innately evil, because then we could just act with that as a constant of our world. Instead, we exist in this matrix of engendering violence, of discipline and humiliation, where our most intimate relations are tainted by the moral cowardice of people who'd rather be a Man than be empathetic to the struggles of the Womanized.
