As my friend Julian puts it, only half winkingly: "God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation."
âRaw milk is better for you as long as you boil itâ so true bestie now imagine if we could like. Super boil it. To really get all the bacteria out. And if we could do that quickly and efficiently. Imagine that.
Hi everyone!
This is an illustrated guide I made as part of my co-admining work at The Middle Eastern Feminist on Facebook! It will be published there shortly.Â
The technique that is displayed here is a genuine one used in psychology - I forgot the name and couldnât find it again so if you know about it, feel free to tell me!
Some could say: âYes but you can use that technique for instances of harassment other than Islamophobic attacks!â, and my reply is: Sure! Please do so, it also works for other âtypesâ of harassment of a lone person in a public space!!
However Iâm focusing on protecting Muslims here, as they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes - that way one cannot say they âdidnât know what to doâ!Â
Iâd like to insist on two things:
1) Do not, in any way, interact with the attacker. You must absolutely ignore them and focus entirely on the person being attacked!
2) Please make sure to always respect the wishes of the person youâre helping: whether they want you to leave quickly afterwards, or not! If youâre in a hurry escort them to a place where someone else can take over - call one of their friends, or one of yours, of if they want to, the police. It all depends on how they feel!
For my fellow French-speakers: I will translate it in French and post it on my page as soon as I can :)
Please donât hesitate to share this guide as it could push a lot of people to overcome bystander syndrome!!
Lots of love and stay safe!

i went into the tattoo parlor and i was like âi scheduled a piercingâ and they were like âpiercingâs are upstairsâ so i went up the stairs and there was a barber shop and i said iâd scheduled a piercing and they said âupstairsâ so i went up the stairs and there was a second tattoo shop and it was rly classic trad with two cartoon buff guys and they didnât even let me talk, they said, âupstairsâ before i asked and then i went to the fourth floor and it was one single room the size of a closet with the piercer and the apprentice in the doorway like đ«đđ
The problem with having OCs is that sometimes you wanna read about your little guy being in situations but unfortunately he is YOUR little guy and no one is gonna put him in that situation but you. Tragic.

Tl;DR:
Google is saying that any music uploaded to YouTube is legally theirs to use in AI training.
This was to try to throw out a copyright case where the victims were trying to sue YouTube for allegedly using their music to train their AI

âA new court filing claims that when indie artists upload music to YouTube, they grant a "broad license" that covers the AI initiatives of parent company Google.â
âGoogle says in a new court filing that YouTubeâs terms of service grant a âbroad licenseâ for artificial intelligence models to be trained on music uploaded directly to the platform.â
âThis argument came in Googleâs Monday (June 8) motion to dismiss copyright infringement litigation filed earlier this year by a group of independent artists, songwriters and producers.
The lawsuit claims that Lyria 3, the AI music model launched by Google in February, was trained on songs ripped from YouTube without compensating artists.â
âThe case is among dozens that have accused AI companies of illegally training their models on copyrighted sound, text and images in recent years.
In most of these lawsuits â including ones brought by the major record labels against AI music generators Suno and Udio â tech companies have argued that the so-called fair use principle of copyright law allows them to create transformative works without licensing the training data.â
Instead of making a fair use argument, Google is saying âthey actually do have a license to train AI with the songs uploaded to YouTube by these indie artists.â
Google says thereâs no evidence for Google using their specific works, but also that they have the right to use
the motion cites a clause in YouTubeâs terms of service that states, âBy providing content to the service, you grant to YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use that content (including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display and perform it) in connection with the service and YouTubeâs (and its successorsâ and affiliatesâ) business.â
âif Googleâs argument is accepted by the court, the company would be legally permitted to train AI models on and otherwise utilize that content for âderivative works.â However,
the situation might be different for music distributed through YouTube pursuant to licensing agreements with labels and publishers.â
Music usually has licensing that protects them from copyright issues
