i mean seriously yall im a real actual agoraphobe, i used to often go weeks at a time without leaving my house because of severe anxiety (now i try to get out at least once a week), and i STILL manage to have conversations with people outside of this hellsite, and learn about queer theory and politics from actual people who know what the fuck theyre talking about.

so, with that in mind, i am begging yall to go the fuck outside and converse with an actual human. it aint hard yall just love your echo chamber

Pet peeve: people reblogging things from satirical publications without realizing the subject is supposed to be satire

be careful promoting unverified fundraisers! happilygeneralhideout/Sally Cheruiyot is a documented scammer profiting off of the genocide by copying a paragraph of nisreen shaheen’s gofundme https://gofund.me/223a4c96

they’ve been running this scam for months now, every time they are terminated they just make a new blog and spam send the exact same ask, and every time their PayPal account is reported they make a new one under a new name. you can use the tumblr search bar to search their previous names “purity sikuku” or “mercy jerop” or “dennis ochieng” or “julius kipkorir” or “janet cheptoo”

would you mind deleting their scam from your blog, or clearly labeling it as a scam so it doesn't spread to others?

Thanks for the info!

Thousands of fake Facebook accounts shut down by Meta were primed to polarize voters ahead of 2024

Meta says it disabled thousands of fake Facebook accounts that were used to spread politically partisan content in the U.S. before the 2024

from 11/30/23 AP News article...

"...The network of nearly 4,800 fake accounts was attempting to build an audience when it was identified and eliminated by the tech company, which owns Facebook and Instagram. The accounts sported fake photos, names and locations as a way to appear like everyday American Facebook users weighing in on political issues.

Instead of spreading fake content as other networks have done, the accounts were used to reshare posts from X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that were created by politicians, news outlets and others. The interconnected accounts pulled content from both liberal and conservative sources, an indication that its goal was not to support one side or the other but to exaggerate partisan divisions and further inflame polarization...."

gee, wonder what musk has to say about this

This source is still being corroborated, so watch this space… // That TheMarvelNow Twitter account keeps pulling "news" out of their asses. They have like 90 followers, less than 20 tweets, and keep claiming The Holywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly and Deadline as their sources, but they always fail to provide actual links. And when you search on those websites, you find nothing. As much I'd love it if Marvel extended Seb's contract, I wouldn't believe a thing that comes from that account.

Agree - the more I’ve dug into that account, the less credible they seem.

Always trust your gut with things that seem too good to be true. Click baiting has gotten out of hand on Twitter etc.
