FREE PALESTINE / END THE GENOCIDE ON GAZA

This piece was made to show support for Palestinians. This mountain gazelle was created with the colors of the flag and the meaningful patterning of the keffiyeh. 

[ID: Illustration with a dark green background. "FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA" is written at the top in black, and "PALESTINE WILL BE FREE" is written at the bottom. A running mountain gazelle is colored in bright red, with a black and white eye, and its bottom half has the black and white stripes and fishing net pattern of a keffiyeh. Two white doves flying overhead carry olive leaves, also from the keffiyeh pattern.

Extra context: Interesting info on the keffiyeh linked here https://www.kufiya.org/what-does-the-palestinian-keffiyeh-symbolize/ /End ID]

I need people to understand that sometimes autism is just this

me fr and the other way around having a horrible time and thinking no one cares but it’s just cause i’m incapable of being open about my feelings and they genuinely can’t tell.

Post about ableism around hygiene:

I think what a lot of non-disabled people don’t get about certain disabled people and not showering for example is that sometimes we just can’t do it and for some of us; most of the time or all the time we can’t do it. We’re not ‘being lazy’ or ‘trying to bother people’. Of course not all disabled people struggle with this, there’s a wide range of disability but I think we should acknowledge the people who do ( including myself ).

Some disabled people can’t shower often maybe because they don’t have the energy, maybe because they need assistance, maybe because of sensory issues, everyone is different. Some of us use alternative methods of getting ourselves clean like wipes but we’re still somewhat clean and some of us can’t do that either. Some of us can’t brush our teeth regularly or at all. Some of us can’t wash our hair regularly or at all. Some of us have bladder issues. And more.

None of these are a moral failing and I’m tired of some people pretending they are.

hot take: i feel like sowing is much better than reaping

So it is you, wizarder. After all these years. My greatest nemesiser. Why did you do this to me wizarder

unaliver, i simply made you who you are. who you always should have been. i, the wizarder, will wizard and you, the unaliver, will unalive. you could never be anything else

But the two of us could have been something other than the sum of our parts, wizarder. And yet you choose to curse me, wizarder. Because you are scared of commitmenter

maybe we could be something new…if there’a still a chance… i know i’ve done wrong but… i’d unalive to try again… with you, unaliver

My lover......! ah, but no, i simply cannot trust one who would place a curse on me! I long to be in your arms but I simply cannot while I bear the mark of how we parter.

i reverse my nefarious curse, even a nefarious wizard can change his robes…come unaliver, together we can be unalovers…

Ah! Kill!! Kill!! Death!! It's so good to be able to user the common tongue anew....

Now that I have seen that you are serious about your love, I am willing to try and right our wrongs... For I admit i am not blameless in the matter of our squabble either.

as you would say, my lover…

love winners…

You can replace [ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY] with [SCROLLING] but watch out. This sucks bad 👍

Some things about this post since getting quite a few notes:

1. If you see this post, highly recommend taking it as an opportunity to set a timer for 15 minutes and switch over to ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY. if after those 15 minutes, you want to go back to scrolling, that's okay!

2. Huge shout out to this popping up in my notifs often, bc I do go back to activity.

3. I think there are times where scrolling is fine. Right now, for example, I'm being connected to a machine for two hours to donate plasma and platelets. Yes this is a brag but it is also a time where scrolling is one of the few things I can do. (Though I will probably also read or watch something on phone lol)

fucking australia’s trying to get everyone to link their government id to their social media accounts else you cant use them anymore, the actual fuck is wrong with this country

please, actually, get fucking mad over this, the entirety of australia basically just banned all social media for anyone who doesnt want to give up their privacy to the government, there was no vote on this, no nothing, they just went ahead and fucking passed this ridiculously privy law and barely anybody’s talking about it the actual fuck

okay so to actually explain what exactly is happening, it’s an age thing. theyve used ‘protect the children’ and ‘let kids be kids’ as a weapon again. anyone under 16 is banned from social media, but to enforce this they have openly admitted everyone will need to link their government id to their social media. this whole ‘protect the kids’ thing was a very obvious trojan horse for getting ppl to give up their privacy.

and yknow, that alone is a very shitty law even without the whole surrendering your private information to the government thing.

theyve made outside uninhabitable, there’s nowhere left to go. public areas have degenerated, theyve turned hanging out into a crime with loitering, streets feel unwalkable sometimes, parents are more wary of letting their kids walk around on their own than they used to be, and now theyre trying to ban one of the main ways kids manage to distract themselves inside the house.

when i was 15 i was depressed and lonely, unable to leave the house very far, no friends, nobody. the one place that helped me feel less alone was online communities. i wouldve killed myself if it werent for the support i recieved on there. and now theyre trying to ban that for future generations, in a world that hates them being both outside and inside.

and even still, this is still a fucking trojan horse to get you to give up your privacy.

some proper info on this bullshit

Ao3 version that lets you open the 'director's cut' where I, the author, explain every detail in excruciating detail to you and what it is in reference to.

these are called comments

A 22 yr old in my org got drunk tuesday night and kinda shit on the fact that I'm running a community cleanup for our chapter. Said something along the lines of "i didn't join up to pick trash." Which really bothers me and it took me a while to figure out why. The whole point of the community cleanup is that we're returning to the neighborhoods where we knocked doors for A4 to help clean up their streets and provide material improvement for free in an effort to build inroads with those neighbors.

Like... if your socialism doesn't include picking uo trash, I'm guessing it also doesn't include doing the dishes, babysitting, or anything else that is important but not prestigious. Idk man, fuck off with that shit. You'll pick up trash and you'll like it until you understand why picking up trash isn't anyone's job but your own. I hate that attitude. If helping and doing activism was always fun and visible and impressive, everyone you know would already be doing it.

if you are my online friend or mutual then i automatically assume you are transgender. if you aren't you have to come out to me as cis

So ist das, wenn Nazis die Macht haben. Die haben anderes zu tun als sich um ihre Wähler zu kümmern. Gewählt sind sie ja bereits.

In deutschen Geschichtsbüchern findet sich Vergleichbares.

Ab Mitte 1944 wurde dann jedes Kuhdorf zur Festung erklärt, welches NIEMAND verlassen durfte. Galt natürlich nicht für die Ortsgruppenleiter und Bürgermeister. Die waren immer zuerst weg. Nicht selten wurde dafür der letzte Krankenwagen genutzt, der in der Stadt noch zur Verfügung stand. Mobilität ist eben auch Freiheit.

Hey! @1989nihil would you mind translating for me? I'm curious about what the press is saying about Valencia around there?

@dorothyoz39

After you clicked it it will translate into english

@dorothyoz39 OP of this post beat me to it!

The tweet, though, I can translate for you:

Then there's OP's commentary: "This is what happens when Nazis rise to power. They've got other things to do than to take care of the people (who elected them). (After all) They've already been voted into power. Mid 1944 every backwater/one-horse-town was declared a stronghold, which no one was allowed to leave. With the exeption of, of course, the (Nazi) regional group leader and the mayor. They were always the ones to make a run for it first. And more often than not they'd use the last remaining ambulance left in town (to get out). Mobiliy, after all is also freedom.

then there's the second tweet, in which the same twiter user corrects their numbers from "35.000" to 130.000 people on the streets demonstrating against the mismanaged emergency response and against the government.

Thanks! To both of you. I read the article, it's not a bad summary of what's going on... Though, it seems they still don't know the level of incompetence of the regional government! They did EVERYTHING wrong, everything... like they didn't even do something right by mistake....
