READ THIS IF YOU PLAN TO BOYCOTT YOUTUBE LONG-TERM

get an invidious account. it is an alternative front-end to youtube, allowing you to make an account, subscribe to channels, make playlists, and all the other things you use youtube for; all without giving the company a single cent. swearing off youtube long-term is a tall ask, so you can use this to still follow the creators you want to keep up with while continuing the youtube boycott. it has a built-in adblock and anti-tracker, meaning that you can really keep fucking them over.

it doesnt interact with the API at all, it scrapes the metadata to make sure they get as little as possible.

YOU GUYS INVIDIOUS HAS BUFFERING!

YOU CAN PAUSE AND WAIT FOR A VIDEO TO LOAD INSTEAD OF BEING DOOMED NEVER TO FINISH IT!

What made me laugh most is that the post just days "sponsored by parmesean cheese." Not a cheese brand. Parmesean itself as an entity and business.

Big Parma, if you will.

[knitmeapony]

Villa began working with Parmigiano Reggiano—the official consortium of authentic parmesan cheese producers—in 2021

She is actually literally sponsored by big Parma

No, actually, I don't think my indoor cat would be happier if he could free-roam. For one thing, the feather-toys inside have never died on him mid-playtime, and I feel like that might be a disappointment

[teaboot]

As though predetermined by fate I awoke this morning to Ollie standing on top of my chest, fur slightly-damp, and when I went downstairs to investigate whatever shenanigans he had somehow gotten into I found that the back door had somehow blown open in the night.

He has never had unsupervised access to the outdoors before but it appears he stepped outside, found it to be raining slightly, and decided "fuck this shit, I'm getting Dad"

[teaboot]

I love my fragile son

[schoolhater]

hey! i can answer this!

basically, most if not all gaza fundraising was happening on gofundme simply due to name recognition and brand trust. however, gofundme quickly proved itself to be actively complicit in the genocide through its targeting of palestinian fundraisers for deletion and suppression.

my own friend siraj lost over $27,000 he had painstakingly raised over several months when gofundme arbitrarily declared his previously verified fundraiser fraudulent. he instantly lost access to food and housing for his entire family and has not been able to regain that progress since.

by contrast, chuffed has basically never given gaza fundraisers any problems. it actively promotes palestine-related fundraisers on its front page.

chuffed has also been used by the sameer project, crips for esims for gaza, and other palestine orgs for over a year now. after a particularly bad wave of deletions (of which siraj was a victim) people began migrating their fundraisers to chuffed, and it's become the go-to host site for new crowdfunding campaigns.

so if you see a fundraiser on chuffed, that's why!

my friend siraj has since moved his fundraiser to chuffed. if you got something out of this post, please consider donating to him. he needs ~150 euros to afford food for his family.

fsr people love to bring up land back but never actually in context of the canadian indigenous people that started the phrase and movement. also ill see people talking about it and using it basically "im being progressive and antiracist" but also like explicitly using it in a super vague tokenizing way where they dont actually seem to be invested in or care about what land back actually means ..?

[wiigiwaamcore]

time to drop the epic landback reading list by mike gouldhawke

I could have sworn he had an essay at one time titled something like "the matriarchal roots of landback" that talked more specifically about the origins of the phrase but I can't find it now

[wiigiwaamcore]

re-reblogging myself because seriously go read or watch at least three things off this list. the vast majority of non-Indigenous people who talk about Land Back have no clue how people within Indigenous communities are actually conceptualizing this stuff because almost every hypothetical I see is so far removed from the things most people I know on the ground in community want and what they are actively doing. (hint: its not a balkanized mass of ethnostates where tiny native minorities landlord over everyone else)

copying and pasting this over to here. don’t use wplace anymore. stop using this shit.

please reblog.

adding on this photo i had seen in a discord server i’m in that provides more information. i hope these people rot

[lesb0]

1000% correct. and it isn't the userbase being 70% white, it's that they act aggressively disgusted and angry if anyone even mentions blackness and black culture or that racism and white privilege exist. If you so much as insinuate that one white woman posted something racist they will relentlessly dogpile and gangstalk you. Remember that blackout day started by black tumblr desperately BEGGING white people to post/rb black people once a year. But in response, people said "no, black people aren't aesthetic enough for my theme" or "no, you're being too political and black people are too serious a subject to post" but then they would make 1000 posts about how being trans is worse than racism. and if you even mention rap or r&b or hip-hop on here people will lose their damn minds. Every black woman I used to follow was either chased off the site, caved from the constant misogynoirism and hostility, or were so ignored by their "friends" that they left.

[discodyke-dogthing]

Y'know I had fun with wplace for a few hours making art and stuff but then I learned about the transmisogynist hate campaign an ex-mod has been put through and I kinda don't wanna touch it with a 10 foot pole anymore

[discodyke-dogthing]

For context! If you don't know, WPlace is a website with the same premise as Reddit's r/place, but done in an entire map of the world.

At one point some Spanish streamer decided to cover the entire country of Andorra with black and purple pixels because it was his brand. This of course covered existing artwork so a tgirl mod started banning the griefers for breaking the rules.

The streamer's fans, seeing this, rallied against her by harassing her intensely and doxxing her, all to the point she attempted suicide. The mods responded to this by kicking her off the mod team, apologizing to the streamer and gifting his fans 5000 droplets (pixels to color).

Of course this caused intense backlash among its community, so the mod team wrote a response where they spouted countless lies about her, like saying she was actually banned for vandalizing artworks, threatened to sue the website and that her suicide attempt was faked for attention. She was banned from the Discord server where this statement was put in beforehand so she didn't have a chance to defend herself.

Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”

[seriously-though-wtf]

Damn, NYPD is so bad, Mafia started protecting good cops

Confessions of a Former Bastard Cop

I was a police officer for nearly ten years and I was a bastard. We all were.

[anobeko]

👆Really really good article by the way. Feels like a good piece to show to folks you know who are still on the fence about things like police or prison abolition. Plus the pseudonym the author uses is hysterical, and he's really quite a good writer.

[subsequentlysilly]

extremely good article, please read it. at the very least read the "how to be a bastard" section, it outlines a lot of the ways cops will try to trick you

[detectivehole]

goodbye youtube i was more or less out of videos to watch anyway

[detectivehole]

tldr: starting today, youtube is testing out a bot that attempts to guesstimate your age based on your user data/behavior (Not your profile data) and if it decides you're a minor, you will be unable to watch the many videos youtube has (mostly arbitrarily) deemed "inappropriate-" unless you prove your age to youtube by uploading your legal ID, your bank card(s), and/or a selfie

to be clear: as a consequence of their Robot who Guess your Age they want you to trust them with your personal identity and information- with your credit card or your drivers license- all to watch a video that's too scared of existing censorship to even just say the word "died." im not interested in all that, i'll watch videos somewhere else

[detectivehole]

if youtube is successful in integrating this, if they "get away with it," it will certainly be a signal of success and to action for KOSA and its supporters, which would of course be Real Bad

[eziojensenthe3rd]

So any americans reading this, please call your reps. You do not need to call for each individual bill, just give them a list of bills you want them to say no to, which should be:

KOSA (Kids Online Safety Act)

IODA (Interstate Obscenity Definition Act)

SCREEN act
