This is to all the deaf and hoh people who want to keep up with videos on Palestine

There's a page on Instagram called access Palestine that signs alongside videos on Palestine or from the people in Gaza. From what I can tell they have videos with ASL, Auslan and Arabic sign language. I'm not sure if they have any other signs from other languages/regions.

Here's the link:

If anyone has any other resources in other sites pls mention them💜🤟🏽

Addition:

I'm adding this to my pinned post so people can see it (and I don't want to remove this post). I hate that I have to this but my messages are now closed to anyone I'm not mutuals with. I didn't want to do this cause this the main way that Palestinian families reach out to me for help but I am now swamped.

(proof)

I want to help every single family who is struggling through a genocide right now but this is far too much for me to manage at the moment and I feel like I leave some others in the wayside cause they just get overshadowed by another family and so on. When u share a donation post, I will also queue and schedule that post for the week and repeat after the week is done and it's far too many people for me to do that process with alone. Not to mention my asks which are also swamped. I'm so sorry to the families for this but I want to make sure I get to you all and this is the best way I can at the moment. I'm sorry

Everything that isn't food is a cat from the perspective of a cat. Cats can look upon the true form of eldritch monstrosities and keep their sanity. They'd just see another cat. A fucking weird-looking cat, but a cat nonetheless.

no ai usage over here. you’re gonna get my shitty authentic writing whether you like it or not

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.

you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.

ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.

ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.

there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being a bitch, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.

it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.

also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.

if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

Also, this isn't really relevant to the main point here, but this is such a weird example when plenty of publicly available and often quite popular novels, tv shows, and songs have incest in them. I have a song on my phone called The Incest Song. Game of Thrones was massively popular. Chinatown was so impactful that that specific scene was parodied absolutely everywhere.

[aliceinwonderpants]

Hey. Hey. Just maybe, if you want to avoid dark and edgy content, maybe use those tags you're complaining about to filter it out.

Sincerely, someone who reads 99% fluff and is quite happy to accurately curate their search

[camidipperkinnie]

Both OP and reposted are right, just curate what you want to see so you won't see it. Put not interested in post put not interested in this tag! Yes I'm against incest and proshipping but I'm not going out of my way to go harass people that do!

Keep to your own bubble on the Internet and I'll keep to mine <3

[travelingstrawberry]

psst *not going out of my way to go harass people* is proshipping. You're proship. Sorry to break it to you.

[cunning-linguistix]

Pro tip: when you see a brand new slang term, your first question should be how that term has been used in AAVE for the past 20-30 years.

This, too. This is a big one as well.

so last year during a period of intense suicidal depression i made this necklace that i always wear, right, and the thing is it's genuinely brought me a lot of comfort and relief and i've developed a strong sentimental attachment to it, to the point that i can inarguably state that it's had a net positive effect on my mental wellbeing. however i did now just have to stop to almost throw up laughing because i realised that i've succumbed to the amulet.

Every time I see that last pic, I have to note that the funniest line is the one immediately after the highlight

[maythray]

"the three dots on the side" call her by her REAL NAME.. Meatballs Menu

[maythray]

im gonna say it now so everyone in my notes stops arguing over this. meatballs menu is three dots side-by-side. kebab menu is three dots up and down. bento menu is an array of 9 dots in a square shape. hamburger menu is three lines horizontally. Yes there are others but none of them are nearly as prevalent so i dont care enough to list them. goot bye

[gauntletqueen]

Literally what they're called btw this post isn't a bit

idk if i told the full story on here but i signed up for a research study where they were testing a new opioid, and it was supposed to be up to 5 injections increasing the dose to see what people could tolerate

i got the first dose and almost immediately fainted. they had to call in a whole medical team and it was a huge fucking deal

i was kicked out of the study and got a phone call later where they were supposed to tell me what the drug was, so i could avoid it in the future. they told me it was saline water. a placebo. i fainted from the placebo effect.

anyway, it's been a few months and i just got an email from the same department asking me to be a research participant in a new study: testing the effects of open-label placebo.

open label placebo is when the subjects and the researchers all know it's a placebo. they're testing the power of my mind. my power to imagine anything.

i like to think that they chose me for this specifically based on their past experience with me. "get the guy who fainted like a little bitch boy from saline water." anyway i just submitted all my info and i'm looking forward to getting started.

[enbyfication]

im not saying we shouldn't be calling out hypocrisy but i do think it's important to be aware of what i call the Two Different Guys Fallacy. and that's that whenever you're thinking to yourself, oh how come X group claim they want this thing but also support that other incompatible thing. take a moment to stop and consider whether it could just be Two Different Guys that think each thing

[fairycosmos]

the issue with growing up in the 2000s and 2010s was like there was this really big push toward "accepting your weirdness" overall but they meant like idk wearing mismatched socks or something not being tangibly beyond the norm in any way shape or form

gotta love the irony of the u.s. americans in the notes defending not putting their country name on international mail because their state is in the address, on a post about how u.s. americans themselves don't even know what country all their states are in.
