i hate to do this again, especially so soon and at this time of the year — but my phone bill is due and i need it to call my caseworkers for housing, as i’m losing it on dec. 31st. it’s under $65, so if anyone has anything they can spare, i’d appreciate it. my cashapp is torchycomm and my venmo is zekecommissions. thank you.
of course no one likes to make posts like this but my partner, Adam, is going through a rough patch right now. i am not going into detail because they are not my details to share, but they're thinking about opening up art commissions. personally, i don't want them to have too much stress on their plate on top of what they're already dealing with. if anyone can spare a few bucks in these trying times, please send them to my paypal: honorarycryptid (pls ignore my dead name) and i can send anything i get directly to their paypal. they don't like sharing personal info so that is why i'm having it sent to me first.

i hate to have to do this again, but unfortunately our ebt benefits were halted, and insult to injury, my ssi card was tampered with and i didn't receive my check this month. if anybody could spare something so i can get in some groceries for my parents, uncle, and i (and some basic necessities) i'd be so so appreciative. thank you in advance, and here's my paypal.
yep, you guessed it. just like millions of people, i have lost my ebt benefits this month. i usually get around $250, but with food pantries and the free $50 groceries from my local gopuff, i've whittled it down to about $125. anything is appreciated. cashapp is $torchycomm, venmo is zekecommissions. i'd be happy to make you something for a donation. thank you.
How we feeling out here? I see some friends have gotten really complacent since earlier this week, and some friends out here swinging around some pretty big talking points in the most ill informed and abusive ways possible.
All this because of a woman name Rani // @unitlead ?
Wild that she’s called me evil, accused me of harassing her, but weird how she doesn’t have me blocked? Though I imagine that’ll change after this post.
And most wild of all? I DON’T KNOW HER AT ALL.
What’s happened is that a fair few of you took something that could have been solved in one conversation or a series of conversations and attached a lot of fear mongering, lies, and malicious social beefing to prove nothing and create a drama so intense it broke containment into real life.
Wondering what that means?
Well I think I made that point very eloquently in this letter to Rani ( here ) and the following series of DMs (of which I have a screen recording as well should anyone need further evidence, but these are a mess, read the google doc or come for the screen recording). As a result of her failing to inform any of you of the severity of this situation, my school district has become involved, because with the rise of malignant doxxing in my country, they are viewing things like this online as potential threats to the children if somehow my identity was leaked. In most schools in this country, I wouldn’t have been able to come forward because it’s often seem easier to terminate the educator. I almost stepped back from teaching after the election, and only came back because I was able to take a position in this district. So given that this post was circled around with my face attached to it, WHEN ANYONE (RANI INCLUDED) could have come here and I would have owned it outright and we could have had that discussion, instead Rani, A WOMAN I DO NOT KNOW, decided to cyberstalk me across two, three different blogs? Anyone have any evidence of any prior engagement this woman and I have had? Hm? Anyone? Because I sure don’t. I would be fascinated to see. But as a result of her poor care for anyone in this community and even herself, my district has seen this as a potential risk, and so now there’s eyes on.
What that means is as long as you follow the law and tumblr policy, you’re fine. If you don’t, the extent to what most any of you could experience is being banned from tumblr should our cyber security feel this is something escalating and posing a threat. No, your blogs cannot be taken from you unless you violate policy — so if you proceed to spread my face online, publicly or to each other, and attach it to slander, you may lose your access to this site. If you violate the law, there will be an investigation and everyone who has implicated themselves will be questioned, your access to this site suspended until the situation has been rectified. You allowed fear and hatred to put you in an unnecessary dogpile and witch hunt, those who perpetuated this didn’t stop to ask questions, understand how this came to be, why a WOMAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW ME, was stalking that far back into my blogs.
You allowed these types of predators in the door and refuse to stand up to them. The only thing I have EVER known about her for YEARS, was her cruelty and erratic and hateful behavior.
But let’s unpack that further:
So ( this ) seems to be the offending post of outrage. I’ll say again, that’s been setting there for two years. I’ve waited for someone to do exactly this, and I was always fine about that, because there are several things I have always wanted to address about this AWFUL and USELESS witch-hunting that happens here, I didn’t expect anyone to throw my face with it, because apparently none of you at all uncorked understood that I would have told you it was me if you asked. And most importantly it was there, because I mean what I say and I stand by what I say.
Now let’s dive into the context:
First of all, friends — this was to do with a fellow educator in reference to their students being beaten and bullied (12 years of age) for being raised Zionist. If you think any teacher, anywhere, worth their weight in salt, condones violence and bullying on their students, or worse, you believe they SHOULD — then get out. There’s the door…get tf out. Now.
The nuance I mean here? Children aren’t evil. They are raised with concepts and ideologies they don’t understand. As a proud member of Teachers Against Genocide, do you think I’m inclined to term any child as evil? Is that the expectation here? Well would anyone have the courage to step to the front and explain to the class how that has solved anything, in any way, in all of human history? By all means — someone explain that. Furthermore; there are Zionists we have flipped, Jewish people who were made to feel SAFE HERE (America) so they did not feel like they had to flee to Israel. But I’ll let two people far better equipped at intellectual activism explain this better than I can
( The entire episode is great, but the part I’m referencing starts at minute 39:25-43:25 here — because another point they make at the end there, and you should watch the whole interview, but there is a whole INSANE evangelical idea in America that if somehow they get all the Jewish people (Jewish and Zionist alike, because Israel takes fucking both) to Israel that it will SUMMON THE RAPTURE, meaning they feel like all the evangelicals will get scooped up into heaven and the rest of us “sinners and heathens” left to rot here or hell or whatever the story is.)
THAT was the nuance I mean. The intellectual activism that needs to happen, to force an idea that safety does not need to be bought with theft and blood and the erasure of a people. That home and safety can be where your feet are, where your community is — and IF ANYONE OF YOU BAD FAITH ACTORS (definition here) WHO WERE APART OF THIS AND WHO PERPETUATED IT WOULD HAVE ASKED, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT.
How the hell do any of you see that as anti-Palestine? It should go without saying that this is an anti zionism post that encourages others to extend an olive branch of empathy toward those who may be ignorant of something instead of jumping immediately to condemnation, especially for people who won't know better like young children. The global population who have been fed a LIE.
This is an incredible example of what I’m talking about ( here ).
Dr. Gabor Maté is a former Zionist and Holocaust survivor. This is the nuance that I mean. He is a FORMER ZIONIST. AND LISTEN TO HIM. TO CALL TO HEEL HIS OWN PEOPLE. TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO STAND STRONG AND TELL THEM WITH HIS WHOLE CHEST THEY WERE FED A LIE. THE LIE FED AND PROTECTED GLOBALLY.
THIS IS THE NUANCE. THIS IS PART OF THIS FIGHT — DESTABALIZING THE WORLD VIEW.
WHAT IF WE WOULD HAVE CANCELED AND WITCH HUNTED DR. GABOR? WHO IS SERIOUS ABOUT THIS?
And again, I have days and days of this information. I’m inundated with it, because I live my convictions. Anyone of you who perpetuated this? Whoever was a part of it? Anyone of you could have spared yourselves, your friends, and your creative community a world of hurt and fear and anger.
YOU CHOOSE to rip people apart, you choose to give these social monsters power, that come in here and for no reason to do with me or anyone, pairs a selfie I posted on one blog to where I posted it here, and pairs that with the post in question — and did she ever stop to just type in the word ‘Palestine’ into my blog where you can find my post from 2021 ( here ). Almost FIVE YEARS AGO. I came here with all that fire and fight. And no one reblogged. No one liked. So I went outside of tumblr where I have thousands of followers, where it’s a diverse population, people with platforms far larger than mine where it reaches others. Not here. Do you all think this is where I spend most of my time or get my news? OF COURSE I DON’T. To those of you who maybe are? Ok, but stop projecting that to established adults who come here to post fiction, like a couple of posts from mutuals and move on, look at any of my blogs — like truly, you think this is where I come to make a difference? We’re just in an echo chamber. Who am I reaching that doesn’t already know? I see all these posts right now, but where was all this weeks ago? Are you telling me you need a smoke and mirrors witch hunt, FOR AN ACTUAL ALLY, to show your convictions? And all I see is that it’s just words, and I love you for your solidarity and for whatever money you’ve spared to accounts you reblog, but given I have larger reach outside of the rpc, that’s not where I put my energy. Given the highly illegal status this is in my country ( you can read a little about that here) , I try to spend the risk where it’ll have the highest impact.
Sorry, I’m not adding more risk, to no avail other than the rpc feeling like I’m socially performing in a way it deems appropriate. These aren’t real social expectations that have importance anywhere else.
And that is all I’m going to say regarding that topic. If you have any questions about this, if you would like more information, if you are not a part of these people performatively and cruelly witch hunting and want to know how you can actually help Gaza outside of the rpc — please step into my DMs, not my asks. You won’t get a response.
Now some other things to address:
So first of all, let’s talk about the definition of doxxing ( here ) — as you can see, at no point has she been bullied or harassed. I have. So that much is apparent and the information has been given to the appropriate officials who are trained to deal with this. There is no threat to her safety or personal security as doxxing is ILLEGAL. School officials aren’t looking to harm, they’re looking to make sure SHE doesn’t use my face to put ME in a position of danger which is being translated as to what could be potential harm to the children. Because again, I DO NOT KNOW HER. I nor anyone this is being handled by are not going to gamble on “it’ll be fine.” This kind of intense and erratic behavior is alarming and being taken seriously.
So Rani, is that clear to you now?
Now here’s something one of the district officials pointed out: “—she felt no compunction to defend her actions or her organization and it’s efforts, but instead expresses she’s beyond reproach because of nepotism?” Are you also implying that your mother condones this behavior? That clear attempts to defame and slander a person you’ve never spoken to is behavior your mother condones? Because I’m not a Zionist, and your narrow view or inability to comprehend what you read are not my issue or concern. So what are you saying here — that you can act and treat anyone in anyway you like because as a 30+ year old woman your mother will protect this malicious behavior? What are we suppose to glean from this statement?
A break from what, Rani? The law? The lies? So to review, no one harassed her. No one is a Zionist. Pervasive? You mean the two year old post that you or someone on your behalf obsessively dug up from someone you didn’t know? Certainly hope you got my face out of there and whatever you’re attaching it to. What this reads like is a rat fleeing a sinking ship, maybe?
To everyone in her server who has come forward, cooperated and emailed our security with what’s been going on in there? Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Don’t be afraid of her. There are more of you than her. Remember there’s safety in numbers, communicate with each other, trust each other, and keep detailed records. Also you have discord to report to. You got this.
@othunderous — you and anyone else could have asked me if those were my blogs. I don’t advertise, because even after all this? There are still 1300+ people following this blog. So when I’m not here, I don’t want to draw a crowd to every blog I go to. However, once again everyone, a person I barely know — seems very entitled to say a lot nonsense about me and something that went down years ago. I don’t even have time to dissect everything said here. However, no THIS WAS EXACTLY DRAMA. YOU TRIED TO WITCH HUNT ME, SOMEONE WHO HAS DEDICATED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, HOURS, BLOOD AND SWEAT FOR PALESTINE — AND FOR WHAT? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE OTHER THAN SPOUT DRAMA, MISINFORMATION AND HELP NO ONE WHILE IMPLICATING YOURSELF IN A REAL WORLD, SEVERE SITUATION? GREAT WORK. Because again, nuance — are you saying I should allow children to be beaten? Also, I have that post linked at the top of this post. What lies are you trying to spread that I deleted it? Just out here lying for the attention of a woman who doesn’t care about you at all and let you do this making you think she’s a victim without telling you the severity of this situation, WHEN SHE ALREADY KNEW. So no friend — you were fucking lied to. You could have said all this to my face and saved yourself an utter and worthless drama.
Hey @s4vior — Lucy, I would give you all the money I ever had to stop vaguing and inserting yourself into situations that have NOTHING to do with you. Also, spreading misinformation, because are you also saying you want children beaten? Are you also saying that we should stop using intellectual activism to flip Zionists and anyone else to help Gaza? Moreover, you got receipts? For years? Because I have the full and complete evidence of otherwise. Are you talking about Star Trek drama and jumping on the topic of a genocide to accuse me of things that never happened? Because I do believe I sent you and @danversiisms a long and heartfelt letter explaining how I didn’t know what was happening, but that it was so bad I LEFT TUMBLR FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. But I’m guessing that wouldn’t have lined up with your narrative here. Anyone interested in these receipts of Star Trek drama and a long, sincere, letter written to these two — step into my DMs.
And last, Simon? Is there a Simon here? @shadoutte — you don’t have Public Enemy #1 blocked either? Hm. Anyway. Who are you? Out here accusing me of sending you some anon hate? LAST YEAR? WHEN I WASN’T HERE? How many assumptions are you going to make here? Because I don’t know you? Who are you? Have we been mutuals? What? Bye.
In summation; I am thoroughly exhausted, disgusted, enraged, unnerved, because all of this could have been prevented. ALL OF IT. But you let people like this do this to your community. Like the amount of you who clearly didn’t read, or even block me across all those blogs, she hasn’t even blocked me. Do you see how this maybe reads as the most insincere and idiotic witch hunt that has rolled through here? You guys really wanted a pound go flesh. You know how many followers I lost? 15. Over half of them I barely know or didn’t really know at all. Nothing came of this except just inciting fear and hatred amongst each other. I apologize for how long this took, for days I was advised to say and do nothing. Then I got news that the head of one of the grass roots organizations I work with was apart of the Flotilla and has been apprehended by the Israeli navy. So I didn’t really give much of a shit about the rpc and its feelings.
You know what the Flotilla is, right? Since you’re all so dedicated to this in such informed, good faith.
I don’t respect anyone who was apart of this nor do I fear anyone apart of this. So if you were apart of this, supported it, vibe with it — or think this is ok to do? Then, if you haven’t already…
GET TF OFF MY BLOG AND GET TF AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS AND ME.
YOU AREN’T WANTED. NEEDED. OR REQUIRED — THERE’S THE DOOR.
I’m not running, I’m not sorry, but under the advice of legal counsel I do have to lay low while for the next NINETY DAYS this situation is monitored.
So if you need to separate from me? You’re free to go. You want to reconvene in 90 days? I’ll see you then. But if I were any of you, get away from her. Don’t bring this heat onto yourselves. Feel about me however you like, I’m not bothered, but don’t sentence yourselves to her behavior. To her cruelty. This isn’t what support for Palestine looks like. This isn’t aid for them and you are allowing someone to use the name of a genocide and it’s perpetrators to accost people in your community and don’t fact check or read. Protect yourselves. Keep yourselves safe. She is not safe.
I will be around occasionally to reblog this post and make sure everyone sees it and everyone who needs to get far tf away from me, they can before I come back. I’ll be here to check DMs, if you drop in the askbox, you won’t get a response.
As a parting thought — I leave you with this picture.
This picture is entirely representative of this situation — fucking stupid and unnerving
