amazon’s entire schtick is to run other businesses into the ground by undercutting prices then ruling over their peasant customers.

FedEx just refuses to deliver to my house. It’s too rural. They just won’t do it. The USPS is gutted. If I need supplies or food or any emergency anything, am I going to risk the package being destroyed or never getting to my house, or grit my teeth and go with the chaotic evil monsters who will nonetheless give me the food or medicine I need? 

And guess what? Amazon is directly and indirectly responsible for both the state of FedEx and the state of the USPS. They were allowed to create a monopoly and they were PREPARED for the further gutting of the USPS we’ve seen in late 2020. In my rural area, with a pandemic on? I think people don’t understand what I mean when I say I have no choice sometimes, the same as I have no choice but to buy Comcast internet even tho it’s overpriced and unreliable. 

It. Is. A. Monopoly. By. Design. We’re being given no choice. The solution isn’t to attack the consumers; it’s to force the government to undermine the company and to actually support its citizens with things like the USPS.

Tips for kids online

Pseudonyms! Use them! Even if it’s a nickname, a favorite character’s name, a letter, your username, use a pseudonym. Especially if you have a unique name

Private information is PRIVATE. Last name, age, full birthday. Things that could be used to identify you should not be shared. Remember those “enter anyone’s name and learn everything about them” websites? They aren’t kidding around, and they’re dangerous.

Your house is your business. Don’t share your home address, school name, city, even sharing what state you live in could be risky. There’s no reason for people online to need to know this, there’s no reason for people online to ask for it. This is a red flag

Pictures are worth a thousand words. Take note of what’s in pictures you post. Can you see a state flag? A pet’s collar with a home address on it? Does that screenshot have your phone number in it? Be careful with EXACTLY what you post.

Once you post it, it’s not yours anymore. Anyone on the internet can share a post, take screenshots, repost to other websites, send to other people, etc. Once you post something, what happens to it is out of your hands. Make sure you be careful with what you post.

Face and voice can reveal a lot about you. They can reveal age, agab, in some cases they can be used to determine where you live (accents anyone?) be careful.

Please kids on the internet, BE SAFE. Remember these are strangers. Remember the internet is full of real people with their own motives and intentions. Remember that you can’t control the internet. Please please PLEASE be safe!

hey!! are there any australian orgs for Aboriginal people i could donate to?

There’s about a million because many are focused on a specific community and there’s a bunch of different issues that they focus on like health services, legal support, domestic violence survivor assistance, inter-generational trauma of the Stolen Generations, LGBTQIA+ specific Indigenous peoples, better education outcomes, etc. A lot are specific to either a state or even a city so there may be some in your community.

Here’s a big link dump for you though:

Legal:

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services Qld Limited (Queensland, including Torres Strait)

Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement Incorporated (South Australia)

Aboriginal Legal Service of Western Australia Incorporated (Western Australia)

Aboriginal Legal Service (NSW/ACT) Limited (New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory)

North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency Limited (Northern Territory north and south zone)

Tasmanian Aboriginal Community Legal Service (Tasmania)​

Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service Co-operative Limited (Victoria).

The Aboriginal Legal Service

Other subjects:

Children’s Ground

Bridge The Gap Foundation

The Healing Foundation

Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance (WAR) which I can’t find a website so I think just has a Facebook page

Grandmothers Against Removals (another Facebook page)

Black Rainbow

Pay The Rent

And people will mention many more in the notes.

this is important!

Just a fun fact, Black ASL and other sign languages here are often dominated and marginalized by the predominance of ASL and ignorance towards minority communities.

Similar to the effects of forceful dominance of King’s English, other sign languages are facing erasure due to this.

Every Deaf child should have a signed language that fits their culture and community, and lesser known/recognized signed languages should be preserved before they are pushed out over time!!

This is outlined on the International Advocacy page of the National Association of the Deaf:

Please remember ASL isn’t the only signed language in the United States, and other signed languages deserve this much advocacy!

[prettysicksupply]

[image description: a tweet screencap from Joshua Castille @CastilleJoshua.  It says, “Ok I’m gonna say it… I’m a radical I believe deaf children deserve a family who can sign in an official language. I believe that all children deserve ASL AS THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. I believe parents who deprive their child of ASL  are actively neglecting their child.”]

The bottom reblog also contains screenshotted text. I’ll retype the entire response to INCLUDE the screenshotted text in place.

.

The NAD values the protection of endangered and minority sign languages, and as such, encourages all American Sign Language users to exercise cultural and linguistic sensitivity when traveling abroad, especially  respecting, , learning and using the sign language(s)  of the local community rather than utilizing ASL  as a means of communication.  As stated by the World Federation  of the Deaf, any forcible purification or unification of sign languages conducted by any agent, whether government, non-government, professionals working with deaf and hard of hearing people, or organizations for or of the deaf, is a violation of the mandates for respect of languages promoted by the United Nations and UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization through their treaties, declarations, and other policies, including the recent UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Go for it guys

[neoflect]

not only do i support lil nas x appropriating characters and symbols from christianity to make horny, campy gay hip-hop videos, i think this sets the bar for lgbt media in the future. fuck that "were just like you!" respectability shit. i need all gay artists to make their work exactly as hostile and disrespectful to the christian right as the christian right has been to gay people for all of its history.

[neoflect]

this goes for the christian "allies" who are hand-wringing over that video too. "im glad hes proud of who he is, but these images are sacred to some peoples beliefs and he needs to respect that!" no, he doesnt, and in fact if your "gay art" is palatable to homophobic christians, it is not good gay art.

HOLY SHIT I JUST FOUND THE BEST FUCKING HOUSE EVER. I NEED IT IMMEDIATELY SOMEONE GIVE ME $3.75million RIGHT NOW.

What even is this??? Why are there so many shapes? Why is there a fake mining tunnel with cars about to drop off a bridge like in a bad western?

There is just. So much going on here. And I love all of it. Supposedly that garage fits 11 cars and comes with a lift and a painting setup.

IMAGINE the DND games you could have right here.

Look at this fucking castle shit. Apparently there’s a huge dumbwaiter to bring up your firewood. And does that support pole have a tiny rock climbing wall???

OH MY GOD IT DOES. And there’s a piano with…rails? IDK.

I have 10% of an idea what’s happening here but is that…bench? covered in a string of heads??? With some kind of…prayer kneeling thingy at the end there? What is happening. What kind of weird religious bastard built this place?

I have so many questions about this random mining tunnel thing. So fucking many.

There’s even a 3D tour available: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/36570-Us-Highway-24-N-Buena-Vista-CO-81211/2076799379_zpid/?

Hey katy I know what house we’re stealing in the event of an apocalypse.

[bestie-enthusiast]

So, April is autism acceptance month, and I’ve decided to spread some information for the NT (Neurotypicals) who might not know what’s okay and what’s not okay in regards to supporting ND (Neurodivergent) in their homes or community.

1. AUTISM $PEAKS IS A HATE GROUP no if ands or buts, they speak over us in harmful ways, DO NOT donate to them.

2. Do nottttt “Light it up Blue” This is a motion started by Autism Speaks, do do #RedInstead

3. DO NOT use the puzzle piece symbol, it is another product  of Autism Speaks trying to “cure” us and make us feel like we don’t fit it

4. DO USE the rainbow infinity symbol, it is widely supported as a harmless symbol to support ND

5. DO NOT try to “cure” or invalidate ND people at all!! We are not toys are accessories,

6. DO try to educated yourself, do independent research on how you can make a difference.

Thank you!

Surprised that drive-in movie theaters didn't makd a huge comeback.

[enragedfrog-deactivated20210822]

Covid. It's literally just your and your quarantine group in a car, with maybe an open window. You can't get safer thsn that.

Being packed in a dark room full of strangers, with idiots talking through a film and teenagers vaping in the back row and kids kicking your seat? Bad. Sitting in a car with your friends and family? Better.

Retro Appeal(tm).

This is more of a plus for movie goers than movie theater owners, but guys, think about how many snacks you could sneak in. You could bring a whole costco rotisserie chicken to a movie. Guys.

[beemovieerotica]

one time we were camping at night and I noticed my dad swiping mosquitoes out of the air with his bare hand and popping them in his mouth and I was like hey dad what're you doing and he said "they won't bite me if they think I'm their predator"

[kibumkim]

[bonediggercharleston]

i think mosquito dad should be in the dsm all by himself. and toothbrush dad just really cares about you, he’s just very bad at showing it

my favourite ways griffin mcelroy has been described:

you look like a carpet fucked a nerd

by the internet

looks like what you'd find if you googled "pictures of a normal man"

looks like god only used middle sliders when making him
