i just can't convey the frustration and sorrow that it's been to grow up at first without the internet and then watching it bloom into this useful, fun, connecting force you sometimes spent time on, only for it to degrade into this constant oppressive waste of time and energy where people are constantly pumping out algorithmically designed content for max algorithmic appeal and even the most simple search generates either no results or an infinite abyss of ai generated slop none of which is usable or correct. we briefly had a library of alexandria and then fed it into a paper shredder so advertisers could sell a random mash of pulp back to us at a premium.

Marlon Wayans on the Snoop Dog homophobic comments on children's films

"I'm tired of defending this ni**a. I defended him on his criminal sh*t, the Gayle King situation, and I took heat for defending him online when he performed for Trump, but this crosses the line. Sooner or later you just realize someone has issues. There ain't no Hollywood agenda to turn kids gay. That's the dumbest sh*t I've ever heard. Disney characters lie, steal, cheat, kill, poison, and everything and don't nobody say it's an agenda to turn their kids into a piece of sh*t. I watched Snow White when I was a kid and I ain't gave a b*tch a poison apple yet. But as soon as a gay character pop up, its an agenda. The agenda is to make your kids empathetic , not gay. White people acted the same way when black people started being seen on tv." -Marlon Wayans

i will not be ASHAMED to say this I live in a real hell using old clothes instead of sanitary pads for my period the reason for that is my inability to buy sanitary pads for me.

Most of u now know what happened to me, what Israel did to my family, they killed my brother and uncle, and all of my family members were injured very badly... I know that most of you do not have a job, but I appeal to you to help me and my family in raising an amount of money to try to buy medicine, clothes, and sanitary pads

Taylor's Red-eyed Tree Frog aka Taylor's Leaf Frog (Agalychnis taylori), family Hylidae, Chiapas, Mexico

The female deposits eggs on a leaf overhanging the water, when the tadpoles hatch, they drop into the water below.

This species was considered a subspecies of the Red-eyed Tree Frog (A. challydryas), was then lumped into that species, and then was elevated to species status in 2019.

Being divorced rules actually. What do you mean I just get to do what I want whenever I want to? What do you mean I don't wake up every day smothered by the burden of the infinitude of little degradations that had totally consumed my life? The little things are easy again. I can leave the house. I can get dressed and take a shower and wash the dishes and it's easy. It never used to be easy.

The seagulls squawk and I smell the ocean and I know what it means to be truly free. There is joy in my life again, every day there is so much joy that it's disorienting. Every day, better than the last. I thought it would be harder than this. It's fun.

The US-backed settler-colonial state of Israel is advancing it's genocidal occupation of Gaza.

The Israeli military is demanding the displacement of all residents of Gaza to the south of the Gaza Strip, which is now a semi-desert area after all means of life were destroyed there. (90% of those currently living in the Gaza Strip were already forcibly displaced from other areas of Palestine, and are now being forcibly displaced again).

The Israeli occupation is now intensifying bombings so that those remaining, who cannot afford displacement, are being forced to flee urgently to the south.

Palestinians in Gaza, including my dear friend Fadel, are in a state of confusion and extreme fear because they are under bombardment and do not have the means to travel and evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip. What are your options when you cannot survive where you are, but you also do not have the funds to survive displacement?

Fadel and his family have calculated the costs of displacement and exit towards the south of the Strip.

The Cost of Displacement:

€1,000 - Tent The price of a tent is very high due to the scarcity of tents and the large number of families purchasing them for displacement. Some families have tents already, but Fadel's family's tent was destroyed earlier this month and they are sleeping on the street.

€1,000 - Transportation Transportation costs to the southern Gaza Strip are high due to the scarcity of fuel in the Gaza Strip.

€600 - Building and purchasing bathroom supplies

€500 / month - Rent The average rent charged for land for the size of the tent and bathroom.

This means that a small family would need between €3,000 and €3,200 to be able to live in this area and begin a semi-normal life, not including the costs of food and medicine, which remain high. He still needs to buy medication each month to treat his chronic illness.

The time to donate to families in the Gaza Strip is right now. This is more urgent by the day. Bombs are falling and everyone is trapped with no way to stay and no way to leave.

Growing up with access to the internet is the reason I know I am queer. It's where I first used they/them pronouns. It's where I met my wife.

The kids we are supposed to protect, are not being protected from their families, they are being protected by their families. Any queer person will know that means something far different.

Our queer existence is pornographic to them.

The internet that is developing is not one that I could have found myself in. The sex workers, queers, feminists, freaks, and radicals who made the internet fun are being driven out, and that should scare us.
