at this point I think I have to just accept that my health isn't going to play ball with me, so I'm going to publish this forever-draft and hope that someone else picks up the pieces. the pieces to the puzzle of "fuck you Meig, I detest how you are seen as the face of dinosaur tumblr"
let's talk about a-dinosaur-a-day
meig's other blogs
so ey runs a-dinosaur-a-day, jewish-kulindadromeus, and zygodactylus
what does meig think of guilt by association?
let's play by eir rules then
underneath the cut is stuff I gathered from the people in that post's blogs. tw for anti arabism and islamophobia and other stuff I don't remember
let's look at another post reblogged by Meig
you can't preach about "nazis at your table" while having fucking david-goldrock on your blog like it's nothing. tw again for islamophobia and anti-arabism
Meig hates being called a zionist, and has many posts going on about "why do people always call me a zionist, don't they know I'm super wishy washy centrist 'both sides bad' on this issue??"
like I didn't even go into the fact that ey is mutuals with shofarsogood, who in turn is mutuals with prismatic-bell
My girlfriend wants to get into Daredevil comics but doesn't know where to start. I figured you'd be the best person to ask for recommendations on where to pick up Daredevil.
You're unfortunately very wrong, I've read so little daredevil :/ I have intended to start reading Daredevil since 2022
My friends keep telling me to pick up the Waid run, which is a lot of fun and relatively modern, and my general recommendation is to stay away from Zdarsky. But I went back to issue #1 from the 60s when I decided to read it like a little freak lmao. When I do give it a real shot it'll probably be with either Waid or Frank Miller's runs
Joseph Smith invented Mormonism. Allegedly an angel told him about golden tablets and that was turned into the Book of Mormon, but most people agree that it's a sham.
Can you explain what suicide drones are? I thought drones were unmanned, by definition. So no one piloting them is dying, unlike Kamikaze fighters. What makes them suicide drones?
Hi lovely!
I can try. So, military drones are indeed all unmanned, but most are meant to return at the end of a mission. For example, the 14 year old Jewish Israeli boy murdered by Palestinian terrorists, whose body was found on Saturday? even with thousands of people volunteering to look for him, they had to cover so much ground, that eventually the breakthrough came from an IDF drone that was sent out, did a scan with an attached camera, and returned to the base with the footage it filmed. This drone will be used again in future military missions. Military drones can also be armed, dropping a bomb or shooting at a dangerous target without soldiers having to be there, and risk their lives, too.
However, suicide drones carry substantial amounts of explosives with the explicit purpose of crashing themselves into the target. They're not going to drop bombs, they're not going to shoot at anything, they are programmed to intentionally collide with the target, setting the explosives off, and destroying said target, and themselves in the process. There is no intent for them to return from such a mission, or to ever use them for another one. So even though there's no people committing suicide, the drone itself is sacrificed. It's the same principle as Kamikaze fighters, and in fact one of the nicknames for suicide drones is Kamikaze drones.
Why would an army use a drone like this, instead of dropping bombs or firing at a target? Because the potential damage is greater, and also because it's harder for defence systems to stop a "herd" of suicide drones, than ones whose operators have to be careful with, because they want the drones back, and to fly more missions.
The following vid should show the damage caused by such an attack. I'm at work and can't turn the audio on to verify this, but starting at the 1:00 minute mark, there should be footage of the Iranian suicide drone attack against Saudi Arabia in 2019, which I've mentioned:
I hope this helps! xoxox

of the blogs that i keep track of, there’s definitely obvious cliques. all of them have posts circulate to all parts eventually, but one thing i’ve noticed is a clear divide between the american liberal zionist bloggers and the israeli zionist bloggers in that space. the american liberal bloggers are more concerned about respectability and here and there might even push back when someone says something more egregiously islamophobic or racist (rarely tho). this is not the case at all for the israeli bloggers, they will just say shit like “all palestinians are nazis and should be wiped out” with their whole chest and then move on with no repercussions
there’s a handful of bridging blogs which keep the flow of posts between the two cliques circulating, but they rarely ever touch the more genocidal posts or reblogs
that’s where i come in I guess, i am working on posting some of the more shocking screenshots and connecting them to the people who reblog from them
i love posting examples, let’s use this one
ID: screenshot of a post that @shofarsogood reblogged from @stupid-jewishwhiteboy
@some-israeli-guy: “I want to take a few minutes to talk about my connection to Israel, as a Jew. I want to do that because some people desperately need to understand this, and also I'm procrastinating on uni homework.”
the rest of the post is cut off by me. End ID.
i often use these two because it’s by far the most infuriating example. shofarsogood is a very popular blog on here and is mutuals both with people who would be incredibly offended at being called zionists, and also just fully unapologetic zionists. meanwhile, some-israeli-guy is someone who will just straight up say “kill all palestinians”, and it’s fucking horrible but from a purely practical perspective i can appreciate the honesty because it makes my job easier. it’s like a touchstone for the level of hate speech these people will tolerate as long as it’s on their side
ID: screenshot of a reblog by @some-israeli-guy:
“Beautiful! Kill them all and erase Palestine from history!” End ID.
so, how does a post travel from the “kill them all” side of tumblr to the “we just want peace in gaza but conveniently all pro-palestine advocacy is antisemitic” side of tumblr? very easily it turns out
it starts with this
ID: a screenshot showing @homochadensistm reblogging from @some-israeli-guy. End ID.
here’s what kind of blog we’re dealing with at this point
ID: screenshot of a reblog by @homochadensistm:
“1. This poll is from the west bank, or do you think thats a place in gaza?
2. BBC reports Gazans are fed up with hamas: uuuuch WhErE dA BidEO eViDEncE
Some rando with a tumblr posts about 5 gorillion children dying in a nuclear explosion in Khan younis:”
under the text is an image of the wojak meme called “Two Soyjaks Pointing”
@homochadensistm’s tags: “#gazans will be freed of the bronze age islamists who took over them via a coup #whether u like it or not <3”
End ID.
next is this
ID: a screenshot showing @stupidjewishwhiteboy reblogged from @homochadensistm. End ID.
ID: screenshot of a post reblogged by @stupidjewishwhiteboy.
@not-antisemitic-receipts: “"Genocide Denier"
Yes, I "deny" accusations of genocide levied against Jews by antisemites, be they from Jihadist Islamofascists claiming "Palestine Genocide" or Nazi Fascists claiming "White Genocide."
"Denial" of conspiracy theories is simply common sense, Period.”
End ID.
and then it’s… wait that’s it?
ID: a screenshot showing @shofarsogood reblogging from @stupidjewishwhiteboy. End ID.
huh. i’m sure that doesn’t mean anything
oh but i’m going to be fair to everyone involved. at the time he posted that post that went around, he hadn’t yet said “kill all palestinians”. how cruel of me to expect these people to see into the future
except you don’t have to be raven fucking symoné to see that it was only a matter of time
here is @some-israeli-guy three days before his post about his connection to israel
ID: a reblog by @some-israeli-guy:
“As someone with a relative who fought in the Warsaw ghetto uprising, my first reaction was being infuriated.
My second emotion though? Hope. Same as how everything hamas and the pro hamas crowd blame Israel of, they've done themselves, everything they wish for us, they will receive. The Israeli people love life. We celebrate life in spite of everyone trying to kill us. Palestine, on the other hand, is a death cult. They worship death and find no meaning in life other than sacrificing it. Palestinian society is based on hate and death, and a society like that will never win.
The nazis lost. The nazis always lose, and my relative survived and came to Israel.
#israel #jumbIr #palestine is a death cult #i/p #palestine”
there were also a couple tags in hebrew that i cannot copy paste. End ID.
hell, let’s take a look at the tail end of the post that got reblogged by everyone and their fucking mom
ID: “To anyone who call us "colonizers": These "ancient" Israelites don't just share a religion with us, they ARE us. We were expelled from our homeland, but we kept our identity, we refused to let go, we kept wishing to come back home. We were always indigenous to Israel. We don't belong anywhere but here.
And now they're are trying to tell us that some people with a name invented by Rome to erase Judea and Israel, with a religion and language from Arabia, who didn't have a distinct cultural identity other than "Arab" until a few decades ago, belong here more than we do? I don't think so.”
this isn’t a callout and there isn’t anything wrong with this post in and of itself, let me gripe
ID: screenshot of a post reblogged by @jewish-kulindadromeus
@sinothetimes: “while l'm on a roll of no longer giving a shit, I also think it's stupid to pretend that the rise in antisemitism, while terrifying, is a bigger issue than the active genocide being perpetrated in Gaza. like, the hate and the potential for things to get worse in the future is incredibly horrible. the fact that most like well over 100,000 gazans have been murdered in the last year is inherently worse because those people are dying right now. this is not saying stop talking about antisemitism but that is me saying if you use leftist antisemitism as an excuse to turn your back on the ACTIVE GENOCIDE youre kind of a shitstain.
End ID
what really grinds my gears is when someone like a-dinosaur-a-day/jewish-kulindadromeus/zygodactylus has the gall to act like eir’s not part of the problem.
EDIT I FORGOT TO ADD A CUT
ID: a set of screenshots showing @jewish-kulindadromeus reblogging from @shofarsogood, @starlightomatic, @notyourgoodjew, @tributary, @jewishlivesmatter, @yidpunk. End ID
(eventually i will have posts about all those blogs, but these take a long time to make because of the image descriptions but i will not skimp on accessibility. but if you know these blogs you know)
it’s good to have issues with how people use talking about antisemitism as a reason to ignore the genocide, but clearly ey doesn’t care too much about people doing that type of shit. a post here and there about how ey doesn’t believe in violence and reblogging a couple gazan donation posts doesn’t cancel out the much much more frequent posts reblogged from people who would like everyone to stop talking about the genocide pretty please
like it rings so fucking hollow when a few days later ey goes and reblogs this (on eir other blog)
ID: a screenshot of a post that @zygodactylus reblogged from @jewish-rock
@anshelsgendercrisis:
an image of the meme of two spider-men pointing at each other. one of them has the text “ppl who use "zio" as a slur for jews” and the other one has “ppl who use "pali" as a slur for palestinians”. the text of the post says “get it bc ur both extremist assholes who are making things worse.”
literally their entire ideology other than whose side they happen to be on”
End ID.
again it’s not the post itself (stupid as it fucking is), it’s the poster or rather who ey reblogged it from. this is @jewish-rock on the same day that @jewish-kulindadromeus/zygodactylus reblogged a posts which ends with “if you use leftist antisemitism as an excuse to turn your back on the ACTIVE GENOCIDE youre kind of a shitstain.”
ID: two screenshots of a post reblogged by @jewish-rock
@jewish-mccoi: “Can we talk about how fucked up it is that Jews and Israelis have no safe spaces online? And if we dare complain, we're told we're whining and other groups have it worse.
And no one seems to either notice or care. The pro Palestine movement is infested with antisemitism. Leftist spaces are infested with antisemitism. It's impossible to engage with the pro Palestinian movement because to do so, they demand you denounce Israel's existence and make you be their token Jew. Like no? The fuck gives you the audacity?
I'm tired of walking on eggshells around leftists for fear of being called a colonizer or a genocide apologist because guess what??? It doesn't fucking matter what I say, you're gonna do it anyway, because I'm an evil Jew!
I could talk till I'm blue in the face about cease fires or how Hamas is purposefully putting civilians in harms way, but the second I do, people are like "oh you mean Israel. Israel is the problem." Actually, you fucking black and white thinker, ISRAEL IS NOT ALWAYS THE PROBLEM. Israel has done fucked up things. So has every fucking country on earth. But the news is dominated by "Israel is awful" and "wipe Israel off the map." Why do you think that is.
IT'S ANTISEMITISM. It's just that simple. Really fucking is.
And because the movement keeps flooding Jewish tags on tumblr with antisemitism, I am gonna tag this so the "river to the sea" people ACTUALLY ADVOCATING GENOCIDE can have their safe spaces (Jew free spaces) interrupted. I'm tired of taking the high road.
You all would rather side with terrorists than Jews. That's how bad the leftist problem with antisemitism is. Terrorists who admit to using rape and murder and torture ON CIVILIANS as tactics. That's how much you fucking hate us.
Well, tough fucking luck. We're here and we're not going anywhere. Am yisrael chai, fuckers.”
End ID.
at most mildly perturbed by people using leftist antisemitism as an excuse to turn their back on an active genocide, not enough to unfollow them though
i find it so fucking spineless. be mutuals with & follow a shitload of zionists who have spent the last 11 months downplaying and trying to distract from the endless massacres in gaza, who try to discredit any and all efforts to help people who are fenced in & bombed. but claim moral righteousness by every now & then going “war is bad you guys, can’t we all be friends, i don’t support either side i support peace”, thinking that absolves you for supporting those people
