my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

[stonefemmesiren]

chap ron fans are culturally indistinguishable from swifties

[inact-ice]

Can I just say, it has been genuinely so wild to see people fall for this obvious smear campaign against Chappell roan as someone who likes some of her music but isn’t like a huge fan of hers? No shade to OP, like Chappell roans literally just a person so there’s a lot of really valid critique to be made about her… but also this whole moment we’re in rn is such an obvious calculated smear campaign, but tbh I can actually believe that people are falling for it yet again.

Every time a woman is getting verbally berated online for being annoying, my hackles automatically go up because truly nobody’s immune to this shit, even feminists. The desire to let yourself fall for it this time because you find the woman in question annoying too. That was me with Blake Lively, bc she’s a racist weirdo who got married on a slave plantation which is genuinely sick. But the internet doesn’t actually care about that so when everyone was yelling at her during that colleeen Hoover movie thing I was like “yeah… somethings not right here” and despite actually really wanting to just hate this evil rich white lady, the manufactured hate campaign was too obvious and sexual harassment isn’t the punishment for racism so I educated myself on the situation more, corrected misinformation where I saw it, and just refrained from talking too much shit about her bc my hate is au naturale, and I’ll be damned if some freak predator tries to co-opt it fuel his freak predator harassment campaign.

But I digress lmao, anyways so much of this hate campaign has been like word for word bar for bar stuff people were saying about Rachel Zegler during that obvious smear campaign too, like she’s too entitled, she needs to know her place, she’s ungrateful, she’s performative etc etc. Even while people were hating on her for being too brown, people were also saying she wasn’t a real Latina which has been slightly modified here to accusations of Chappell not being a real lesbian.

Anyways even if the similarities didnt make me recognize what was happening immediately, the absurdity of what people are actually pissed about would’ve. Like first it was that she was too mean to paparazzi and everyone became advocates for the surveillance state for a hot second, then it was that she was mean to fans which turned out to not be true, then it was just that she was generally a bitch which is whatever idk, then it was that she said men don’t make good art which is when everyone entered their MRA era and I had to serioused after I loled bc apperantly that was genuinely really evil of her to say, then it was that she personally commanded her bodyguard to jump an 11 year old which didn’t happen, then it was that she didn’t apologize good enough for something that she didn’t do, and now it’s that she tricked everyone into thinking she grew up poor based on vibes. And I’m just like… well I never thought she was poor bc I didn’t think about her upbringing at all. I think you guys care about celebrities lives too much. I wanna say that cosplaying poverty is NOT cool but at this point, like everything I’ve been forced to hear and research about Chappell in the last day or so, it just feels so desperate and exaggerated.

A lot of this just weeks after she left her management bc the CEO was in the Epstein files. And so much of it is just a rehash of the exact same hate campaigns we’ve seen levied against like what, 6 other women at this point? in even just like the past year.

And idk, how many more times are we gonna go through this exact same cycle truly? I have one more in me before I just start taking screenshots of random comments and making people guess which hate campaign they were a part of. Winter needs to end so everyone can just lay in the weeds, the lack of warm sun is just not good for us

Op I’ve made your post a bit of a vent hold the ac, but this is lowkey just gonna have to be the trade off for tumblr placing this upon my for you tab

[dreamsy990]

i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to

[dreamsy990]

unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school

[dreamsy990]

things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)

how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem

what common file types are

some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)

how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private

how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)

what a cookie actually is

internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl

basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)

common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)

how to not get a virus while pirating something

what a temporary email is and when to use one

red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)

what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls

[dreamsy990]

ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)

an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous

a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps

a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)

some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself

hi here is a condensed telling of the Sudanese genocide and the history behind it in video form since a lot of you seem to have no clue what’s going on and have just been saying ‘free sudan’ for a couple years. you can use it as a foundation and expand by researching further from there.

this Twitter thread explains in depth how the uae is directly complicit in Sudanese genocide.

here is a link to a page with gofundme campaigns of Sudanese individuals and families. this Twitter account does the same thing

this fundraiser helps to keep twelve community kitchens in the khartoum state area functional. this one keeps a community kitchen in omdurman functional

this initiative provides displaced people from el fasher who have arrived in tawila with food, clothing, medical supplies, menstrual products, etc. it is also funding a community kitchen in el fasher

you can donate here to help disabled Sudanese people in the nuba mountains

you can donate here to provide menstrual pads to Sudanese in displacement camps. one donation of $5 provides them to one person for an entire year.

this fundraiser is raising money to provide evacuation, healthcare and more for families in the gezira state.

this one is raising money to help families rebuild their homes

and darfur women’s action group is raising money to educated displaced children in Sudan and establish / maintain women’s centers

an estimated 25,000 children have been killed by the uae backed rsf [x]. tens of thousands are missing (kidnapped). hundreds of thousands in el fasher are at risk of starving to death in an engineered famine. Sudanese people are being massacred in hospitals, forced to bury themselves alive, raped, hung, starved, and tortured. the rsf are terrorists, the uae are masterminding the genocide of black people, and the absolute very least you can do is know what’s going on when you say ‘free Sudan’

[dragongirlteeth]

I am skipping your ads as fast as I can. I'm skipping past your sponsor read. I'm muting the tv. I'm muting the tab. If they get too annoying I will simply stop trying to watch.

If advertisers can use every manipulative trick in the book to get me to buy their product, I am fully within my rights to do everything I can on my end to make their job impossible

[barishal]

It looks like attention on Sudan has dramatically waned. Please do not stop talking about about Sudan. Let's keep the momentum up. The genocide is still ongoing. Al Jazeera reports the following: "The IRC highlights the role of “regional backers” complicit in a war that it says has killed 150,000 people and displaced more than 12 million. Some 33 million people need humanitarian aid, with 207,000 facing “catastrophic” food shortages.

“Large quantities of gold flow out of the country, while weapons move in the opposite direction,” says the report, which did not name the “backers”.

The United Arab Emirates is widely accused of backing the RSF, a claim the Gulf country denies".

We need a permanent ceasefire ASAP! Boycott the UAE, donate to fundraisers and grassroots organizations, and protest in the streets! Consider helping Eman (@emiiii980) in the meantime. She has been raising funds for her family, but we have not achieved the goal, so she has returned with a new fundraiser! She is supporting multiple other families, as well! So kindly contribute what you can and share it with everyone you know! Her fundraiser has been shared by @/el-shab-hussein here. [A friendly reminder to keep in mind with the currency exchange! $10 USD = $13 CAD!].

Please donate here.

[fadel-dani]

A gentle reminder Gaza has suffered the equivalent of 42,500 Bondi terrorist attacks and 212 September 11s.

This article states that the Israelis attacked the Gaza Strip with brutality and savagery, even committing genocide openly before the entire world, yet no one was able to stop them or hold them accountable immediately. This demonstrates the extent of the brutality, Nazism, and arrogance of the Zionist Israeli occupation. What happened to me is the closest example that indicates the credibility of this news.

[fadel-dani]

This brutal, Nazi occupation knows only destruction and the killing of innocent Palestinians like us. They starved us, killed us, tortured us, and completely destroyed our lives. This genocidal war has lasted for two years and continues to this day.

[fadel-dani]

I am one of the victims of this brutal occupation. They bombed our house while we were inside, and we miraculously survived, but I was injured by shrapnel that remains embedded in my body to this day. This is due to the destruction of all our hospitals by the Nazi-like occupation, the prevention of medical equipment from entering them, and the obstruction of the reconstruction of hospitals in Gaza. Worse still, this brutal, Nazi-like occupation continues to kill, starve, and violate the ceasefire. Yes, even now, as I write these words, the Zionist occupation forces are firing on our tents and anything within their sight. This is horrific and heartbreaking. Save us from this genocide. Please stand with us. Please donate.

[pitbolshevik]

please donate

[fadel-dani]

I implore you to support me and help me raise the necessary funds for my surgery and medication as soon as possible. I was injured when the Nazi occupation army bombed our home over 450 days ago. To this day, I haven't received treatment. Please stand by me; no one can bear the pain I'm experiencing now. Please donate.

[knxfesck]

The elevated coverage of the Bondi beach shooting compared to the active genocide in Gaza only contributes to the normalization of genocide western news outlets have been pushing for years. Do not let yourself fall into believing that the conditions people in Gaza suffer through are normal or acceptable! Donating even just $10 to help Fadel towards recieving medical care will make a difference!

[closet-keys]

It is important to remember that all of this violence, years of continuous and ongoing genocidal atrocity enacted on the people of Gaza, is of human design.

This is not inevitable. It is a series of choices that continues to be made every day by human beings to directly cause suffering, and to look the other way instead of doing anything to prevent or lessen this suffering.

We can choose differently. We can do something to lessen this suffering. Our choices matter. Please help Fadel and his family to survive.

He has been injured from the bombing of his home for a long time now and needs money for surgery.

[sporesgalaxy]

Please help give Fadel and his family a better future, and hope to escape this seige, and a means to survive it

[fadel-dani]

It's freezing cold, and we're freezing now. A new storm and low-pressure system started today, and the media is warning of flash floods due to the heavy rain and plummeting temperatures. To make matters worse, my injury is excruciatingly painful because of the extreme cold (the pieces of metal stuck in my body are freezing cold, unlike my body temperature).

We're freezing, and all we need is your donations so I can buy my medication and have my surgery as soon as possible. Please donate!

there is no justice for palestinians unless the zionist state is dismantled. eyad and his family (vetted campaign #24) have been displaced, yet again, by isr*el's onslaught of bombs. he had to flee from his house when he had heard rockets fall around him.

below is a video of what is happening in gaza right now, as the world turns away – if you turn the sound on, you can hear the person behind the camera weeping. the explosions are so big that they send bodies flying out of buildings.

please continue to share and donate to eyad's fundraiser. it has not received any donations in almost a week. the genocide is not going go away simply because we stop caring.

Please stop, please stop sharing the most trivial things that we in Gaza can no longer even dream of seeing. Stop doing things we can't do, and stop filming and publishing a life we once lived and have been deprived of.

[abedalrahman2000]

I'm not saying you should abandon your life; I'm saying there should be limits to what is published or what is done to us. We are dying of hunger while a large number of bloggers showcase their delicious and tempting food. We are being deprived of our homes while many bloggers post about the most luxurious and elegant places. Please be mindful of what is published; everything affects us and our mental well-being.

[abedalrahman2000]

I beg you, please understand our situation. I beg you to help us. What we're going through is no small thing. We're losing our lives. We want to live. We want to have hope, just like you. Yes, just like you. Please donate to us. Please share our suffering. I feel terrible about what's happening to us. The shooting hasn't stopped yet. The situation is dangerous and difficult. Please give us a new life. Your donation will save us. Please donate.
