Please read.

I'm going to go ahead and pin this post. I wish I didn't have to say this, but because I reblog about Palestine, a lot of people are following me. And I don't know them.

And if you're one of them, and you don't want to talk about fandoms, art, knitting, gaming, writing, podcasts, or food and culture, I'm going to ask you to unfollow me.

I'm not going to be doing anything more than reblogging campaigns others have already vetted, and reblogging news for my followers to share with people they know off tumblr.

I'm Palestinian, I get it. I know these times are dire, but I'm not doing great right now, myself, and I'm sorry, but I don't want people following me to ask me for anything more than I already am doing, and I suspect these dozens of people who just started showing up are going to be doing that.

I'm going to start soft-blocking people who just show up randomly in my follower list, and go back to purging people once in a while.

It's not personal.

i hate these kinds of tweets and everyone who enables their rhetoric bc 1. the amount of pal/arab-americans who voted trump were prob too small to even impact the election 2. they always come at palestinians with a condescending tone like you think we wouldn’t know how bad trump would be?? we’ve been down this road before, every us admin has been bad for palestine but in different ways! “trump will be worse” does not absolve biden admin of their current role in what’s been happening in palestine

Also considering bill Clinton led the "peace talks" and he went mask off the other day talking about how much israelis deserve to kill Palestinians, it actually is not unique to huckabee to say this. I hate how people who have not been involved in Palestine advocacy until last year are trying to tell us "actually the dems are super nice in comparison to trump so suck it up" as if the years worth of bombing campaigns, forced displacements, and outright lynchings haven't been a bipartisan effort.

I just learned that when he was on front of the French court for allegedly being an accomplice in two murders and one murder attempt against a member of the Mossad and US accomplices Georges Ibrahim Abdallah said:

The people did not give me the honor of participating to these anti imperialist actions you attribute to me, but at least I have the honor to be accused of them by your court and defend their legitimacy against the criminal legitimacy of the oppressors.

For the record the only reason he is still in jail is because he got caught during his revolutionary activities with fake papers but then the US and “Israel” pressured France into accusing him of more things. Algeria was negotiating for him to get free and right when it was about to succeed, France conveniently found the gun used to kill a US colonel and a mossad member at his place stopping the negotiations for Georges Abdallah’s freedom. His lawyer betrayed him and admitted to betraying him which should be ground to dismiss the case but France refuses to dismiss the case.

Whenever a judge says that he served his time and therefore can be released on the condition that he leaves France upon release, the government refuses to sign the paperwork and the decision to release him is canceled. The US and Israel actually called France multiple times to make sure the government wouldn’t sign the paperwork for his release.

Because of that he is considered by many as a political prisoner which would make him one of the longest serving political prisoners (40 years) and he is held in France the so called country of Human Rights. For the record the current official longest serving political prisoner (44 years) happens to be a Palestinian man arrested by “Israel” the so called only democracy of the Middle East.

i think a lot of liberals need to confront the fact that they don’t actually believe everyone should have basic human rights. a homeless person could call me every slur under the sun and i would still want them to have housing, food, etc. the belief that everyone is entitled to basic human rights should not hinge on whether you “like” someone or not. at that point the entire ideology crumbles.

i hate seeing people now making fun of those who care about privacy online. i've seen people saying things like "well they already have your data. what are companies going to do with it" and it's like, that's not the point. it's that companies /shouldn't/ be able to have my data and sell it. am i aware they probably already have my data? yes, absolutely. but i'm still going to try and keep them from monetizing it any further, why are we defending companies selling data they shouldn't have to begin with though?

adding this to the post because, 100%, just there's a fire doesn't mean you should pour gasoline on it

I have like ten different ad and/or tracking blockers on my PC and phone... just out of pure spite

Can link it? I wish to hop aboard that train.

Puritanism is getting worse around the globe and conservatives and fascists will absolutely be first going harder against porn, then use that against queer people. You HAVE to realise this and oppose anti porn measures and laws, be in solidarity with sex workers, and listen to them when they call this shit out. It's going to be vitally important.

Reminder that keeping porn legal means that pornstars have legal protections that they will lose if porn is made illegal. Reminder that keeping porn legal means there are legal standards that can be put in place and enforced which results in better safety for all who are involved in porn's creation.

Reminder that porn will never stop being a thing. It just won't. If it's made illegal, then it will continue to be created and distributed - its just that it will now be done under the table, and with no safety regulations or protections for anyone.

Yes, the hard-right's ultimate plan is to use porn as a gateway from which to attack queer people, but even if that wasn't their plan, you should want to protect the legality of porn anyway.

Keeping porn legal means that the chances of sexual assault on those who work in the industry are reduced, and means that victims of assault are able to pursue legal action against their attackers. Keeping porn legal means that human trafficking is decreased, and it gives victims of human trafficking a legally supported escape route that would be lost if porn were made illegal.

Keeping porn legal means that anyone who is involved in making it - regardless of whether theyre making it simply because they want to, or because they're financially desperate -- is granted a measure of protection that they otherwise would not be. People love to raise the "but porn is made by desperate people who sell their body to survive," but a) some people make porn because they like it, and b) someone who is desperate enough to sell their body will do so regardless of whether it's legal or not. But when it's legal, that desperate person has far more protections and is less likely to be taken advantage of than when it's illegal.

Keeping porn legal protects people. Making it illegal will harm people. It's that simple.

"But it's demeaning!"

That's a you problem. No, really - it's your opinion is that sex work is demeaning, but I've had some really demeaning jobs that were legal and "proper". Just because a job involves sex doesn't mean it has less value than being a salesperson, or an accountant.

To quote the great John Waters.

Netflix casted an Israeli actress as Mary... the mother of Jesus. During which israelis are killing the oldest Christian communities in Palestine.
