This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…
Listen, this is serious.
Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!
It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.
Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.
So, again, do not, under any circumstance, use Sci-Hub. I mean, can you imagine a world where knowledge is free and easily accessible to everyone? Even, y'know, poor people?
Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.
Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

Ok friends, listen up. We all do it. Every year we wait 9 months for fall. We daydream of long walks in crunching leaves, hot chocolate, warm sweaters and orange sunsets bringing a chill to the air. And every year the season flies by and we miss it. By reposting this, you promise to take the time to treat yourself to the magic that is autumn. Make it happen. Because life is short.

SIGNAL BOOST THE SHIT OUTTA THIS
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN SERBIA?
TL;DR: we’re living under a dictatorship. people are currently protesting the deaths caused by decisions the government made while prioritising the election over human lives. mainstream news are making it seem like the protesters are hooligans who are protesting new safety measures and not the dictatorship they refuse to even acknowledge.
THE LEAD-UP
here’s a brief list of things that caused the people to protest:
the elections have been rigged since the moment aleksandar vučić became president. not even in a relatively subtle way like in the usa (gerrymandering), but by literally replacing sacks of voting papers with ones that are voting for sns (srpska narodna stranka, the president’s party)
we were lied to about when the first covid-19 case appeared in serbia. the government withheld information from us because it benefited them.
also, about a week before the lockdown, the president made fun of the virus, encouraging people to “go shop in milano if they want”. when the situation got serious, he shifted the blame to the people.
hospitals all around the country were and still are severely underfunded. they’re reusing masks, don’t have enough space for all the patients, and the tests we’re still given aren’t accurate.
the lockdown was lifted prematurely because of the parliamentary elections. if you look up “serbia covid19 cases” on google, you’ll see that the second wave started around june 21st, which is when the election was.
right after the election was over, the government set extreme safety measures, including: police enforced lockdown fri-sun, an attempt to force all belgrade students out of their dorms during exam season, etc.
THE PROTESTS
last night (july 7th), there was a huge unorganized protest outside of the belgrade parliament building.
as expected, the police turned it into a violent protest. they used tear gas 26 times, attacked people who weren’t even protesting, and used unnecessary force against those who were. a man was choked the same way george floyd was.
only n1 (cnn’s channel) actually informed people that this was happening, and their website was down all night last night. every other network was airing their usual program, since they’re controlled by the government.
the people got into the parliament building a few times, but were ultimately forced out violently by the police.
there were protests in other cities too, but they weren’t as large.
rts (the most watched channel in the country) is putting all the blame on the protesters and making it seem as if they’re protesting the new safety measures, and not the dictatorship of aleksandar vučić.
every other international news source is pretty much doing the same.
WHAT NOW?
the protests will continue. in case they’re successful, there will be another election, one that won’t put only sns members in the parliament (they make up more than 70% as of right now).
in case they’re not successful, we’ll be expecting a change of the constitution that will state that there’s no limit to how many terms a president can have. we’ll live under complete dictatorship.
the most you, outside of serbia, can do is share correct information and spread awareness about what’s happening.
reblog and share this post, share other posts (on instagram especially) made by serbian people, call out false information when you see it.
Something I made for my students, a second poster is in the making which will be shared on Twitter first (@Findlotte)
some of ya’ll masturbate to the absolute worst things on earth. you wanna fuck serial killers, rapists, murderers, racists or the founding father’s, which combines all of the above.
and yes, you are bad people. I hope bad things happen to you.
since peopel are talking about ao3 again I just wanted to clarify.
Everyone into incest, pedophilia, rape and ethnic exotification can go die.
Nope. Your not bad people!!! You don’t deserve to die!! As long as you understand the difference between sex play and real life, you are not a bad person. Most of the time those sexual interests come from trauma and those who like those kinds of things would not want that in real life. However rapists, pedophiles, and all that jazz who cannot distinguish real life from sex play and act on urges are disgusting and deserve to die. 🙃 thanks for coming to my ted talk!!
Putting the word “play” after something doesn’t suddenly de-contextualize it. Putting the word “play” afte something doesn’t suddenly disarm it.
You can’t say it’s “racism…play” and not recognize that it’s inherently racist by definition.
Sexual interests don’t happen in a vacuum and we can’t divorce them from their non sexual implications.
So if someone has a fantasy about sleeping with or raping a 12 year old, calling it “age play” doesn’t suddenly make it permissible. If someone is writing slavery fanfiction, calling it “race play” doesn’t suddenly make it permissible. And it would be foolish to think these desires don’t show themselves in other aspects of a person’s life.
And if we’re going to make the argument that trauma is leading people to these things, then the solution is therapy, not dressing it up as “play.”
I also think it’s worth examining why someone saying “racism, incest, pedophelia, and rape are not acceptable sexual interests.” Prompt a response that’s essentially “actually racism and pedophelic desires and the like are ok as long as we call it play.”
These things are worth examining and deconstructing.
That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying we shouldn’t go around telling people they should kill them selves for thoughts they don’t act on. Yes, obviously they need mental help and it most definitely isn’t normal or okay to have urges to rape a 12 year old, as the example you gave, but if the person can understand right from wrong and knows not to act on those urges, they are NOT a predator. They most likely suffered from trauma as a child. Furthermore, if they understand their urges are wrong, they most likely are upset with themselves for even thinking that, and therefore are seeking treatment. I’m saying we shouldn’t hate others for their thoughts. On the flip side, you can’t judge someone for their sex life. If their fantasy is rape play, back the fuck off. They aren’t actually hurting anyone, and it’s not your business. Really, people need to stop being so fucking judge mental and jump to conclusions when they don’t know someone. However, I agree with you in that things like “race play” are completely disgusting, but those urges should be met with therapy, not kids on the internet telling them to kill them selves. That’s just my input.
First thing first y’all really gonna pretend vague-humanoid didn’t precise it’s about people MASTURBATING to this fucked up things? It’s not just fantasies but actually seeking those things be it through fiction, porn or imagination to actually get off.
Now let’s start with what I actually wanted to say… People into those fucked up things will never understand that it’s wrong if whenever PoC call it out a bunch of idiots come in to defend that kinks are kinks and they are inoffensive. There’s so much slave and race play porn with REAL humans that they will never understand if y’all raise the all righteous no kink shaming banner whenever PoC try to educate people. Yes the “can go die” was excessive but it comes from someone who’s constantly dehumanized. It comes from someone who says “hey slave owners porn is fucked up” and was met by “no kink shaming if you know it’s not okay IRL you’re fine”. So he had every right to be frustrated.
On top of it we all know that PoC are most likely to be the target of sex related crimes. Are y’all gonna pretend that the excessive fetishization and dehumanization of our men, our women, our people, that y’all defend by saying “it’s just porn, it’s just fiction, people know it’s not okay IRL”, have nothing to do with it? Because those fantasies affect real life, they affect people of color. Maybe you don’t personally live it but I can assure you that it exist. When you focus on the fact the people with these fantasies need therapy and pretend they do seek therapy when they actually don’t (if the majority seeked therapy we wouldn’t have that conversation in the first place), you’re making them into the main victims while ignoring the people they hurt.
Lastly and this is a more general statement: Y’all should try having just as much empathy for PoC who are constantly dehumanized than for the people doing the dehumanization. Because the fact some of y’all reactions is to defend the ones doing the dehumanization against the ones dehumanized is fucked up and just prove how much vague-humanoid was right to fucking call it out.
As a psychology major I would also like to add. During behavioral therapy for someone with a phillia* or fetish disorder, one wouldn’t tell a paitient to continue to engage in these acts as “play”. A therapist would suggest redirection to a healthy form of mastabatory or sexual content. This include age appropriate porn, porn that was focused on connection or something of that nature. This is a form of treatment because often these unhealthy desires may come from trauma but reliving or engaging in bad sexual habits isn’t going to help one get past the traumatic experience.
if you haven’t heard what disney just did to their college program cast members, including the ones who came from other countries, do me a favor and learn about it, talk about it, share it, spread it, i need this to be known. i need this to not go away. they need to face consequences for what they just did to THOUSANDS of employees (most of which are under the age of 25) with such a short notice. please dont let them hide what they just did.
here’s someone on twitter explaining it in better words than i can handle right now.
they laid off thousands on saturday, told them to get out of their housing in less than four days, told the ICPs (international college program) employees they need to be out in less than 4 days despite them being in another country on their own during travel bans no longer allowing them to fly home with their work visas no longer extended since they no longer work for the company, they told them that this is for their safety but they dont care that they just threw THOUSANDS of young adults into homelessness during a pandemic. and then they dropped Frozen 2 on disney+ because they needed to cover it. dont let them get away with that.
This has under 300 notes.
