stop abstracting political views to make them more comfortable. i believe it is bad to kill people. i believe other people are just as real and complex as i am. i believe they are just as worthy of food, water, safety, and dignity as i am. if people disagree with me, i want them to have to tell me to my face that they think they are inherently superior and that some people deserve to suffer and die for the crime of being born somewhere else. if you believe it, say it with your chest. if you are ashamed to say it, change until you are no longer ashamed.
actually. while i'm on the subject. fuck the theoreticals for the rest of this shit too. we can debate the merits of ethnonationalism as a tool against marginalization later, after we get the ethnonationalists to stop slaughtering palestinian children en masse. we can argue about what, if any, obligation the international community has to interfere with other societies' oppressive norms after we get them to stop fucking bombing the middle east and killing the very civilians they claim to want to liberate. nitpick the exact desired porosity of the border after we stop masked thugs from disappearing people off the street. fight about economic policy after removing the fascists from power
#AND ANOTHER THING#okay sorry i'm going to go eat fruit and clean my bathroom and stop screaming at clouds

i'm not anti gen ai because it's deteriorating literacy or bc it's intellectual property theft or bc it's replacing entry level jobs and putting even more strain on the working class or bc of its implicit biases as a product created to mirror techbro scumbags or any of that. fuck all that too but my number one argument against ai is now and will always be that it's fucking killing people. the pollution is poisoning people RIGHT NOW. increased demand for rare earth minerals is getting miners killed RIGHT NOW. the energy demands are exacerbating the climate crisis RIGHT NOW. people are already starving, drowning, dying of heat stroke, suffering bc of climate collapse RIGHT NOW and gen ai is throwing gasoline onto that fire. stop with the theoreticals. plant your feet firmly in the material realities. there are counterarguments for all of these philosophical arguments against it. the only counterargument against 'it is killing people' is that you are a fucking ghoul
#'no ethical consumption under capitalism' 1000 word essay on why you believe harm reduction doesn't apply to you on my desk by 10 am#'it's not that deep' 30000 word proposal for agricultural strategy to continue to feed everyone under climate collapse due in one month

Bystander Intervention Training
so, the US just attacked Iran, and that is fucking terrible. Something we all need to think about right now is how we can stop the harassment and violence against Muslims and Arabs in the US that got so much worse in the early 2000s from happening again to people now.
To that end, I wanted to share some resources on Bystander Intervention. One of the biggest things I learned from training like this is that there are many ways to intervene, and they don't all involve putting yourself in front of the person who may harm you or others. It's ok if you feel intimidated by that because there are more ways to help! And once you do the training, it might not be so scary.
Right to Be has Bystander trainings based on the 5Ds of Bystander Intervention (Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct). The trainings are free!! sign up here.
I took one of their trainings a few years ago (when the org was called Hollaback!) and it was really very good, they have trainings at multiple levels and focused on various topics. They also partner with other orgs to focus on specific issues (like anti-AAPI harassment and with CAIR Chicago for anti-Muslim harassment, etc.).
Here are a few more resources:
APA Bystander Intervention Tip Sheet
RAINN Practicing Bystander Intervention
I think I'll sign up for one as a refresher.

now feels like a good time to reiterate that Iranians have been martyred by america + israel already, both empires that possess nuclear weapons, and that Iran does not have nuclear weapons. so now is not the time to joke about america getting nuked-- any retaliation on Iran's part is justified and the only way we escape this situation, but Iran is not going to nuke us, because the entire premise that Iran has nukes is how america justified bombing them and also the exact same rhetoric we used against Iraq and how we killed my countrysmen when there was again no evidence of nuclear warfare. New York City is not going to get fucking nuked. go listen to a podcast or something
