Stop playing games, stop watching movies, stop following football matches, stop listening to music... Leave them alone, even if only for a minute. Sit with yourselves for a minute and think carefully: Do we deserve to die? Do we deserve to live this life? If the answer is no, then do something for us. Either donate, participate, or do anything that makes us feel that you are with us and not leaving us alone in front of the genocidal criminals.

[abdalsalam2000]

I am a person who wants to complete my education, and my life is very similar to yours. The difference is that I was born in Gaza, so I need you to contribute in any way so that I can live a safe life and protect myself and my family from death and malnutrition. I should not die at the hands of the Zionists. Please stand by me.

the mileage i'm gonna get out of this gif cannot be overstated

[maowives-deactivated20241215]

I encourage anyone who wonders things like "Why does the DPRK hate the United States so much?" or "Why would the United States lie about North Korea?" to, well, first of all, cultivate a sense of empowered investigative curiosity about the world around them, but secondly, to just go to the wikipedia page for The Korean War and check under the "civilian casualties" section.

actually here I'll just drop a screenshot

I want you try to envision that number. The population of the DPRK in 1954 is cited by various Western sources as being between 7.7 million - 10.2 million, however more contemporary sources seem to lean towards the larger number (7.7 million was estimated by the CIA in 1954)

If we say 10 million people, with 1.5 million casualties. That's 15% of the post-war population. 15%. That's a little more frequent than 1 in 7. Imagine one out of every 7 people you know being killed. This study estimates that the median individual has a social network of about 470 people. Rounding down, 15% of that is 70 people. Imagine 70 people out of everyone you know personally being killed. 15% is massive. It's a genuinely sickening and horrific figure.

In comparison, in WWII, according to Wikipedia the UK had a casualty rate of .94% of their 1939 population, and the USSR had a casualty rate closer with 13.7% of their 1940 population.

The United States is a hulking behemoth of death and cruelty and genocide. It is a machine dedicated to one thing, which is the extraction of power and profit at the cost of any amount of human life. Like all bourgeois imperialist powers, it is a mechanism for the transmutation of innocent human life directly into political-economic power.

Moreover, The United States of America must be destroyed.

REVEALED: The long-suppressed official report on US biowarfare in North Korea

By Jeffrey S. Kaye

No matter how much you hate the US it can never be enough

[nassef-mahmoud]

Honestly… I've reached a point of disgust and despair that I can't hide anymore.. 💔💔

Since launching the campaign, all we've raised is €894… a shameful amount compared to the scale of the need.❤️‍🩹💔

It's not that I haven't done enough, on the contrary… I've done more than my share.

But those who could have helped—even with just a contribution—chose to ignore me.💔

And ignoring it hurts much more than rejection.

The feeling I have now is that the whole world is against me, as if no one sees or hears me.

As if my pain has no value.

I didn't ask for the impossible, and I never wanted to end up like this… but unfortunately, I've been put in a position where I feel like I'm begging, against my will.. 💔

And perhaps the hardest thing is… being in need, being forced to speak up,

and then discovering that no one really cares.. 💔💔💔

Despite all this, there's still a small part of me clinging to hope… maybe because I have no other choice.🙏🙏

Last year JK Rowling personally funded a group called Sex Matters to amend UK law so that trans women *overnight* went from legally women to legally men. This has resulted in mass exclusion of the trans community from numerous organizations, along with ongoing violent assaults on both trans and cis women alike.

With the new Harry Potter series she will be making a reported $20 million per-season renewal + other performance dependent royalties. She has been open across multiple interviews regarding her intentions to use said funds to push forth even more trans targeted legislation in the years to come.

This isn’t a “she gets paid no matter what” situation. The more eyeballs on this show the more money she has to actively harm vulnerable communities. By engaging with it you are directly supporting this and otherwise making a conscious choice to consume HP over doing the literal very least possible to not destroy the lives of trans people across the world.

If my stating the objective facts above upsets you then feel free to unfriend and move along. Your nostalgia-goggles feelings for a tired, problematic franchise mean nothing to me compared to the welfare of my trans friends and loved ones."

If you care more about badly written children's books and imaginary wizards more than you do about real people in the real world do it far the fuck away from me.

Don't try to be in my life.

In fact, you are cordially invited to eat shit and die.

BEHOLD

The Dracula Daily Scarf

I may be a month late, but I finally finished my scarf! This is the second Dracula Daily scarf I've completed, and definitely the longest: I used bigger yarn, and included the days with no update, represented by every black row. This monster is a little over 11 feet long, and 7 inches wide. Laid side to side, it's the perfect size for a rug!

I'm considering making knitting kits for next year's participants, that way if you order a kit you don't have to spend a ton of time reordering Seward's color, or buying whole balls of yarn for people who don't talk much *cough cough* Quincy- *cough cough*

Any thoughts?

The world is such a joke. These people are crying over empty ambulances that got burned down in London while not a week ago Israeli soldiers used ambulances to ambush a village in Lebanon and massacred 41 civilians

[tamamita]

[pingintech]

both things are tragedies you are not required to care about one OVER the other those the attacks on the empty ambulances were done to ambulances ran by a jewish ran public service IN LONDON for all people regardless of race and religion for clearly antisemitic reasons regardless of how you feel about the genocide IN GAZA you should be able to recognize that genocider is not like some gene deeply embedded in the jews biology jewish people in another country are not responsible for the human atrocities elsewhere and both things are SIMULTANEOUSLY upsetting

[tamamita]

I've been seeing dead bodies of journalists, paramedics, mothers and babies all over my timeline for the last couple years, I genuinely don't give a shit about some burned vehicles

[liberalsarecool]

These disgusting racists have always been among us. Trump gave them permission to be cowardly about it.

No surprise betrayal is MAGA personality trait.

[itsanidiom]

Okay but today I came across the video of the teacher reporting the kindergartener's parents cause she looked in their file (is that legal??wtf??) and found out they "weren't born in the us".

It's disgusting.

Like he just goes: "So you're reporting a kindergartener?" and she's like "You're making it sound terrible" like...yeah it is terrible...what you're doing is terrible and you're a terrible person. But also...

HE LITERALLY DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING!!

He's not rude or sarcastic. Nothing that a real person with that job wouldn't say. He doesn't even remotely judge her or what she's doing with his words or tone. She's the one who seems to realize that like what's she's doing is inherently evil...but then she goes on doing it.

When he tells her they are in the country legally and makes a little joke about not having to get this dangerous kindergartener out of the country or whatever SHE ASKS TO SPEAK TO HIS SUPERVISOR because she thinks he is giving her attitude and she doesn't like his tone.

These people are sick......I literally hope they feel shame, but I doubt they do. They'll probably see themselves as the victims of a prank and not someone who tried to do something fucking evil.

my hetero married mom is turning 65 and I shit you not she’s being denied Medicare unless she changes her legal name back to her maiden name on her birth certificate

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

she’s been contacting attorneys and speaking to every possible office and administrator and I’m like mom you might want to go to the news tbh

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

she is a very mildly unusual case because she had to shorten her first name when getting married so that her name would fit on the license form in 1990 and so now she has to petition for a name change to undo both that and taking my father’s surname because MAGA hates trans people so much lmfao

[penrosesun]

This reminds me of a surreal experience I had in law school, when I learned that my law school had LITERALLY no way to change your name in the system or on your ID. I pointed out that I knew multiple people who had gotten married while in law school, and asked the person at the registrar's office what they did in those cases, and he said that he guessed that they'd just have to not legally change their name while in law school?? I asked him if this was perhaps because the law school had introduced this system back when they still expected to be able to keep women from attending indefinitely, and he got really silent for a bit and then told me that he was busy and I should leave unless I needed something else.

Btw, I've gotten a LOT of traction with conservative folks with this story when I've told it, to the point of some fairly right wing people even agreeing with the much stronger position of "yeah, and why the fuck should you need a court order just to change your name either?" It hits all the right notes of absurdity, and of the government and other institutions intrusively reaching into other people's lives, while also demonstrating that that overreach is a clear attack on people with traditional values too. I always present it as "Now, look, I know it's not as fashionable for a woman to take her husband's name anymore or whatever, but she should at least be able to if she wants to, right?" and I don't even get people trying to argue slippery slope about it, most folks we just jump all the way onto the "preferred names are an issue of freedom" train.

Which is all to say that yeah, your mom should absolutely go to the news about this.

Dont use curseforge anymore.

For downloading game mods: If it's Minecraft, use Modrinth instead, for any other games use gamebanana or nexusmods.

The original tweet appears to have been deleted. and im unable to find it on Archive.org, but the tweets are still indexed by google.

They're still openly raising money for Israel, though instead of the IDF in specific its just general "those affected by the Hamas attacks"

texas tgirls need to make rent

the deadline passed and we couldn't make it. it's fucked. my girlfriend has started working, but it won't mean anything if we don't have a home to live in.

the electric and internet bills went through for december and january combined all at the same time. it's so fucked. we have a bunch of hospital bills from last month, i got so sick i lost 20lbs in 5 days and the doctors kept telling me it was just the flu until i temporarily lost my hearing and they FINALLY identified the bacterial infection. 3 hospital visits for me, 2 for my girlfriend for the same issue. all costing between $150-700.

so we need to make $1170 in rent, from $-418. a little under $1600 to stay off the street. many hundreds more if we are to pay our medical bills, phone bill, etc.

please, if anyone can help, even by reblogging, ill put my links below. im sorry we have to ask all the time, but our backs have been against the wall consistently for so long now.
