Proceeds are donated to the UNRWA, which is one of the major funding agencies providing aid to Palestine. Recently, the US and other major countries have escalated genocidal efforts by cutting funding from the UNRWA, as AlJazzera reports : Which countries have cut funding to the UNRWA and why?

This is a direct action you can take to say fuck you to the government directed genocidal efforts, bookmark the tab, add a calendar notification daily, do what you want. Or if your prefer: Donate Directly to UNRWA

look I know it’s supposed to be a joke but that “irradiated wasteland” is the unceded homeland of the Paiute and Shoshone peoples and consists of fragile Mojave and Great Basin desert ecosystems that are actively being exploited and destroyed by mining interests who utilize the perception of desert as wasteland to justify their destruction of indigenous lands and communities. the joke's not funny. fuck off with this.

also, as to the "irridiated" part of this - here's an article by High Country News on cancer clusters in indigenous communities in the Southwest resulting from nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site (itself located on the ancestral homeland of the Western Shoshone and Southern Paiute) and the US government's continuing failure to compensate affected families. it's a horrific crime that the US government committed against its own citizens and the joke's not fucking funny.

wasn’t expecting this to take off but shoutout to the Australians in the notes - getting fed up with this kind of shitty rhetoric about desert landscapes and erasure of the indigenous peoples that have lived in them for millennia is Australian-Southwestern US solidarity

i don't know how to put the screenshot underwater on desktop but imagine that i did. anyway this is from a post where someone is talking about a list of classic books and frankly this is an insane way to think about art and culture and anything at all in fact

owning putin by tearing all ~1200 pages out of a book published in 1869. righteously protesting the Concept of russia after realizing that the actions of the government in the 2020s have retroactively rendered its whole history wicked, and all its cultural emanations liable to corrupt the mind and lead it to vice. by destroying my own property, which was probably purchased from a british or american company anyway

like the idea of only wanting to read morally good books written by morally good people that you agree with politically is already something that i consider one of the most deeply misguided opinions anyone can ever have, but to only want to read books written by people who come from "morally good countries" is one of the most incredibly narrow-minded and contemptible things i have ever heard. To Be Honest

It also accomplishes nothing at all and is purely performative. No, wait, it does accomplish something: it makes you look extremely stupid and contemptible, and thus people can more easily avoid you. So, yay?

“He’s a Royal Marine. Now, what the bloody hell do people think that means? Hey? No man here knows but us.”

the fact that irving/tozer even exists as a ship is so funny to me. they don't even share a scene. not one dang screenshot of them together. all we have is 'careful with that; it belongs to lieutenant irving' and tozer looking genuinely distressed when he realises that hickey did actually shank irving. and that's enough for us to run with. is there anything else? no. does it matter? nah. love is stored in the borrowed telescope.

The telescope is a metaphor

when your art program’s closing message hits you straight in the heart and makes you stop and contemplate the state of it all

because of the huge response to this post, I decided to make a version of the art that includes the text

(I’ve also uploaded this version of the design to INPRNT, Society6, and Redbubble)

popping in to say that for the past 6 months I’ve used this post as an indicator of when to check the news because it spikes in notes every time there is a major world event

While the media overdramatizes the fiction of pro-Palestinian antisemitism, white nationalist antisemitism has seen a disturbing resurgence that has been almost entirely ignored. Since 2021, fascists have felt more comfortable explicitly flying swastika flags in large groups and now harassing productions of the Diary of Anne Frank.

If you have the time and flexibility, you can also try out libreoffice.

Just did this on November 14th, 2024, so this is very current!

The Cradle

Israeli police demolish a mosque in the 'unrecognized' Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran in the Negev (al-Naqab) to make way for an Orthodox Jewish community.

According to a 2015 Israeli High Court of Justice ruling, the Bedouins in the village had been "illegally squatting" on land that belongs to Israel.

Israeli media claims the residents of the Bedouin community demolished their own homes and left, and that the mosque was one of the only structures remaining.

The Times of Israel writes, "The 37 unrecognized villages in the Negev house some 150,000 people, or roughly a third of Israel’s Bedouin population, according to the Council. Israel decided in the 1990s to raze some of the illegally built villages and build authorized communities in their stead."

Fanatic National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir praises the demolitions, boasting that he has overseen a 400% rise in demolitions in the Negev since the beginning of 2024.

Indigenous Palestinian Bedouins have always lived in the Negev desert. Just like the Colonizers in so called “United States” and “Canada” they came to the lands and decided what is law through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and white supremacist “western values”. To the colonizer it does not matter that the Indigenous peoples have lived on the land for centuries.

As a Palestinian Bedouin close to my heart, whose family was ethnically cleansed from Beersheba, once said “the land is ours, we will go home, you’ll see, you’ll see”

Absolute fucking banger, liberals will always side with fascism, time and time again. So many liberals have been showing their ass after this election. I’ve seen countless posts about “I hope Latinos who voted Trump get deported.” “I hope Gaza gets turned into a parking lot.” “Who’s going to fix your roof if there’s a mass deportation?” Liberals see immigrants as cheap labor, not as human beings. And they wonder why they lose- time and time again.

"Don't be a Job Hopper" 1940s Disney WWII propaganda poster

In 1941 Disney animators went on strike after Walt Disney refused to let his workers unionize. The workers were angry about unfair policies on pay and benefits. On the picket line the animators lynched and guillotined an effigy of Walt Disney himself. (lmao i had to re-encode this gif because tumblr blocks it automatically as a banned image???)
