Don't forget to boycott Eurovision tonight. No support for them being hypocrites banning Russia for invading Ukraine but defending Israel despite its ongoing genocide of Palestinians.

Are you an advocate for censorship?

is this because i said not to use the r slur

[felidaeng]

this? is this what you're referring to? yeah i think calling other people slurs is bad

[inzaltsiknyam]

reminder that the people this slur refers to, people with intellectual disabilities, are still campaigning to REDUCE/end its usage, not "reclaim" it. the r word used to be a medical diagnosis--it was never a 'nice' term and it was always used for ableist, and generally eugenicist, ends--and it is still included in several state laws, so self advocates with intellectual disabilities have been passing laws around the country to get this word out of laws. under no circumstance does it make sense to "reclaim" this term, especially if you are not affected by the ableism that people with intellectual disabilities face.

People in Gaza have been saying this would happen since the very start, as soon as the occupation started corralling everyone into the southern part of the strip they said this would happen. We watched it happen as the “safe” zones grew smaller and smaller and every time Rafah was targeted by air strikes even before this. And no one who could actually stop this lifted a finger. It’s been 129 days.

When I was twenty I was almost shot by a police officer because of my mental illness. I was peeling bark off a tree on public property to calm my anxiety.

Two officers pulled up very quietly in a squad car while I had my back turned. They did not announce their arrival. When I noticed them approaching me by the sound of their footsteps, I was frightened and reached for my phone to record them. They thought I was going for a weapon and one reached for his pistol. I put my hands up.

They illegally detained me and took my ID to run a background check. The one who had started to draw his gun on me asked me if I’d had any thoughts of hurting myself or others.

My background check came up clean. They released me and told me I wasn’t doing anything illegal. I went to my car and bawled my eyes out, thinking about how I’d almost died for the crime of “weird behavior.”

Don’t give these pigs a registry of the mentally ill. They’re already trying to kill us for no good reason.

[orchidvioletindigo]

@ all the idiots commenting on this saying I almost got shot because I reached into my pocket for my phone and not because of my “weird behavior”

For the last time, nowhere in this post did I say my phone was in my pocket. Women’s pockets are too small for that. I was storing my phone in the mesh water bottle pouch on the side of the backpack I was wearing, i.e. an open and see-through compartment too small to conceal a gun and too far off my beltline for a concealed carry

Did you miss the part where the only reason the cops were interacting with me to begin with was because they thought my perfectly benign behavior warranted law enforcement intervention?

Stop making excuses for a person who wasn’t committing a crime almost getting killed by the police

The next line of her speech is also great: “Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.”

we are witnessing a genocide in real time framed under the guise of stopping hamas. israel has been terrorizing palestine for as long as israel has existed, but their access to technology and social media has made it much easier to fool people into supporting them.

meanwhile, noah schnapp is posting that zionism is sexy and celebrities are standing with israel. just absolutely twisted shit.
