Jokes on them too, we know how to be petty bitches in reaponse to this. Sit through the fucking 5 second delay and continue to use adblock AND Firefox to spite them.
They realise that 5 seconds of waiting is still better than waiting for, what is it now, 30+ seconds of unskippable ads right?
Friendly reminder that you can add this to your ublock block list to get rid of the five second delay on firefox:
since you care about terrorists so much how about you go to palestine and see just how nice they are to jews, you know, the people they collectively blame for their suffering
Hmm. Interesting. Palestinians we’ve spoken to blame the State, and the complicit countries like the US, for their suffering. However, Zionist Israel plasters Jewish symbology all over their war crimes… Do you see how Zionism is the biggest threat to the Jewish people, when it commits atrocities as such in our name? A Palestinian disliking the sight of Hebrew or the Magen David does not even touch upon the antisemitism caused by the Zionist project itself. A Palestinian being resentful towards a Jew for the actions committed in our name doesn’t even hold weight against the rising Nazi movements in America and Europe.
I’d love to go to Palestine. The Holy Land. It would be the greatest honour to walk alongside Muslim, Druze, Catholic brothers and sisters in a liberated Palestine.
For Jews to be liberated, we must liberate Palestine first.
i’m sure that this will be a hot take for some folks, but honestly? Even if the Palestinians were all, as a whole, as a fucking monolithic unit, INCREDIBLY antisemitic and blamed every global Jew for what is happening, that wouldn’t justify genocide. It simply wouldn’t.
Even setting aside the fact that it would be both easy and understandable for a people facing total annihilation at the hands of a Jewish occupying force to identify Judaism and the Jewish people as a threat to them, there’s not a goddamn thing that people can do to justify turning Gaza to a fucking empty parking lot. There’s nothing that the Palestinian people, or anyone for that matter, can do to justify Israel’s response. There’s never a justification for killing children, civilians and the injured, for attacking medics, for mutilating corpses.
To be quite honest, a Palestinian could spit in my face and tell me that the message came from Hamas (and that they absolutely want me dead) and I’d still be calling for a permanent ceasefire.
Utah will become the third state to restrict trans persons from using bathrooms in buildings other than schools, alongside Florida and North Dakota. However, the legislation in Utah is of a different caliber as North Dakota’s bill only applies to correctional facilities and dorms and Florida’s legislation only applies to government-owned buildings.
In accordance with the bill, trans individuals could also be charged with voyeurism and/or criminal trespass if they use publicly owned bathrooms that align with their gender. According to Utah’s law, these class B Misdemeanors are punishable with up to six months in jail and a fine starting at $1,000 if charged and convicted.
the law has already passed, as of last week. I can’t emphasize enough how scary this is for the trans community here. please keep an eye out for any trans people you may know in the state, and consider avoiding utah if you’re trans. this is beyond horrible for us here
just tried to show my older brother something while my little brother tried to show me something. poetic cinema in motion
Generational Constants, artists rendition, 2021
The colour alignment implies that the littlest brother is gonna eat the oldest brother’s phone
[ID: Simplistic digital drawing of the three siblings, with OP in the middle. They look to their left where the little brother is excitedly pointing to a tablet with a purple screen. In alignment, OP’s glasses are purple. At the same time, OP is holding out their phone, which is green, to the older brother sitting on their right. In alignment, the older brother’s glasses are green. The older brother is also holding a phone at which no one is looking. The red of this phone happens to match the red of the little brother’s open mouth. End ID.]
At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there’s a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.
the frustrating thing about discussions of kink for me is that it’s like the gom jabbar test for pulling reactionary sex politics out of people. you’ll see people bringing up (real and worth discussing!) issues of abusive people using the cover of being a dom or liking servant/master dynamics and then they’ll conclude this is why we have to treat kink like nuclear waste, rather than pointing to other issues of consent, power imbalances, lack of communication, respect, or negotiation. (not to mention how the existence of predatory/abusive subs is basically handwaved away because it’s inconvenient to their narrative..) like the problem of shitty guys pushing 50 shades wannabe stuff on their girlfriends lies with their misogyny and lack of respect for their partners wants, not with an idea of them being ontologically evil for enjoying sadism. further stigmatization and demonization just make discussing safe practices and safe communities for informed and healthy kink harder
LITERALLY!! acting like kink is uniquely dangerous just makes it easier for people to defend and hide their own predatory sexual behavior by going “well look im not doing any of that degenerate shit so I just can’t be in the wrong. sure I pressured her into bed but i didn’t hit her or tie her up”
How much of discourse is just full grown-ass adults getting incensed at the takes of some random-ass anonymous 13-year-old who wrote the first thing that came through their mind?
too much, sometimes I look at the blog of someone with an insane take and the first thing I read is “minor nsfw blogs dni”

Hey everyone, this is Bisan from Gaza. I’m still alive but Hind is not. Do you remember Hind Rajab? This seven (7) years old child who was missed 12 days ago. Hind was in a car with five (5) family members and they were all killed - except Hind - by an Israeli bomb, and then she called the Ambulance, she asked them to rescue her. Two Ambulance men from the Red Crescent tried to do this but they were also missed. Now; today they were found killed. The body of Hind found killed, found murdered. It’s just a new massacre added to the list of endlessly massacres committed by Israel against my people; Palestinians in Gaza right now.
No one holds Israel accountable until now. No one is doing anything. Hind was killed. Who is the next? I don’t know, it might be any one of us, but I mean, it’s a new, it’s a new massacre - she is murdered. You all heard her story, you all heard her voice asking for help saying (Bisan speaks in Arabic first then translates to English the following) “take me with you, take me from here”. She was between dead bodies for days, alone and no one could rescue her. We knew where she was, we knew that she was okay, we knew that she could contact the Red Crescent but no one rescued her.

It’s not autumn until you bring out the family trebuchet.
I regret to announce that the family trebuchet has been retired following an incident wherein the trebuchet lobbed a pumpkin backwards, taking out a truck window, before self destructing when the counterweight swung into one of the support legs, shattering it instantly
I am delighted to announce that my dad has begun work on a new trebuchet
When absolutely 0 of Biden’s accomplishments have made any kind of news, and we’ve been fed a steady diet of fear and panic for 3 years, no one gets to be shocked when he loses the next election to Donald 2.0.
Posting anything positive about the president here will get you called a capitalist bootlicker.
What do we expect to happen?
Anger sells better. Anger feels better, it feels righteous.
It’s easier to protest against a president you don’t like then to actually remain in charge and keep pushing ahead, even if small, consistent accomplishments are all you receive.
I know I’ll never be missing an election in my life again (barring some kind of major medical event).
I just wish it weren’t so damn frustrating, feeling like you’re screaming into the void constantly, fighting against apathy.
CMS just announced that the government will start taking high-cost drugs that were developed with taxpayer dollars and start pulling patents to force competition and low cost generics. That’s fucking momentous.
I saw 1 news article on it. I wouldn’t have known it happened if I didn’t read the news every day. This should have caused the kind of celebration that erupted when companies started announcing $35 insulin caps. Why didn’t it?
Low cost hearing aids, lower and $0 student loans, concrete investments in green architecture…there was an announcement like 2 days ago to replace all leaded pipes out of US cities over the next 10 years, which will be an absolute boon in jobs for construction workers and can make our homes safer for kids. I’m sure I’ll see a headline in a year, “Biden’s lead pipe program causes drivers traffic headaches.”
Republicans want 20 foot concrete barriers topped with barbed wire across the entire southern border, and Democrats want amnesty and ease to citizenship for just about anyone who crosses, and it really seems like until a compromise is made somewhere in there, Republicans will continue to turn out in massive numbers to elections because God told them to, and Democrats will continue to stay home because the last president didn’t accomplish 100% of their goals and voting for an imperfect president is a personal and ethical failing.
Now take that mentality and spread it over every single social and economic issue.
I remember how utterly scared and angry we were sone years ago when Trump was trying to bankrupt the USPS. People were talking about it left right and sideways, asking people to buy from the USPS gift shop, start a stamp collection, anything. Then, Biden got elected and put a huge stop to that by getting rid of the unfair laws that only the USPS had to abide by. Overnight, the USPS was saved, and how did everyone react?
They didn’t. It was hardly mentioned. Not a blip.
Same exact thing when it came to net neutrality!! It was DEVASTATING when it was killed. People died in wildfires because Internet providers throttled data of firefighters. Xfinity actually stole identities in order to make it happen.
About a month ago, BAM, it was restored because Biden appointed a Democratic leader to the FFC. Did anyone talk about it? Nope. I saw ONE post.
also like I’d rather have a president that does jack shit all day then have trump who will end up removing the bill of rights
Seriously. Not moving is better than backsliding. Why the fuck do people act like Trump is the same as Biden. Like damn Trump could publicly campaign on abolishing the 14th amendment and bringing back segregation and bitches would still be out here like “horse shoe theory :) they are the same person”
people also forget that our Supreme Court is rigged, people like Mitch McConnell exist to make passing anything a humongous monumental task and then get mad at the dems for not doing enough in office… like sorry but the turtle can talk for 2 days straight to make sure legislation can’t pass
The continuous bombardment and the ongoing genocide pose a significant threat to their well-being. What pains me even more is that due to the lack of medications in Gaza, my Mom, who is a type 2 Diabetis patiant and was scheduled for an urgent eye surgery, have had no access to insulin or any medical care for the past 3 months. Some of my family members sought refuge in the southernmost part of Gaza (Rafah) in tents. However, my parents, and sisters have no alternative place to stay, forced to remain in the Nusierat refugee camp, which is now the subject of continuous severe bombardment since christmas started.” Am on my knees requesting for your donations. Please help where possible.
2023 was a year when many people around the world woke up to the fact that US-backed Israel is a terrorist state that commits genocide and slaughters thousands of children, and that the US keeps supplying it with weapons despite claiming to have moral superiority to judge Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
