Jane Elliott giving a lecture on “Color Blindness”

Something to know about Facebook’s new “screening tool,” and advice/info that can most certainly be used outside of this specific situation.

For spoonies, the biggest deal is how this data, if leaked, could affect you in professional and insurance spheres.

Here’s Emily’s full thread, which discusses the details of the tool, and here’s Isobelle’s full thread, which extrapolates on specific dangers.

In the end? It’s another data grab. Data is worth money; don’t give yours away, especially not to Facebook.

Identifying fascists and their friends on tumblr

Most important step--who do they reblog from? If they reblog from fascists, they're a fascist. Look out for the following things in URLs/bios/posts. If you see it, it MIGHT be unintentional, but 95% of the time the person is a reactionary.

NOT A COMPLETE LIST. More can be found on the Anti-Defamation League's website. Feel free to add your own.

Antisemitic Dogwhistles:

(((Triple parentheses)))--used by antisemites to identify Jewish names

"Cultural Marxists"--means Jews

"The mysterious, wealthy elites"--means Jews

Generalized statements about Israel as a major global power/influencing the US

"Controlled media"

"International bankers"

References to or depictions of the happy merchant

Nonspecific language and rhetoric often used by fascists/friends of fascists:

Cumbrain

Smoothbrain--eugenicist phrasing

Correcting for overpopulation--ecofascist rhetoric

Celtic cross

Depictions of German soldiers (w/ or w/o swastika)

Imperial German flag

Iron Cross

Eagle (akin to Nazi eagle)

Pepe the Frog (for real)

The true deadly sins

Lust

Not a sin- feeling sexual attraction, sex with consenting partners, masturbation, consuming pornographic media, having several sexual partners, sex before mariage. IT’S A SIN WHEN- the person projects lust onto an unwilling recipient person and does not take into account their wants or consent. Rape, harassment, sexual assault, catcalling, dick pics.

Gluttony

Not a sin- food, enjoying food, cooking, eating sweets, eating meat. In the larger sense, accumulating material things you enjoy, like books or collectibles or whatever.  IT’S A SIN WHEN- It deprives other people of what they need.

Envy

Not a sin: Wanting things you see other people have, like money, power, fame. IT’S A SIN WHEN: This is how you define people, and stop respecting them as humans. It’s a sin when you use them for what they have and what they can bring you.

Greed

Not a sin: Wanting financial security, working hard for the things you want.  IT’S A SIN WHEN: Your own financial growth depends on keeping other people impoverished and suffering.

Pride

Not a sin: Being proud of your accomplishments, liking your looks, dressing up IT’S A SIN WHEN: It stops you from accepting your faults and seeing how you can be wrong, not admitting that you can better yourself. 

Wrath

Not a sin: Righteous anger at situations, being mistreated, seeing other people suffer, at the injustice of the world. Self-defense. Revolution.  IT’S A SIN WHEN: Violence towards defenceless people, hitting your partner or your kids,.  Violence fuelled by intolerance and bigotry. 

Sloth

Not a sin: Resting. Sleeping. Taking a day or a year off. Being unproductive. Playing videogames. IT’S A SIN WHEN: You stay inactive when action is required. When people need you and you’d rather do nothing.

an ecofascist blog has been gaining a lot of followers recently

the user captain-planet-official, who got popular from posts like this masking as environmental care (as most ecofascists do):

frequently slip in bits of white supremacist/racist/antisemitic commentary or ideals between posts, such as these:

or even the user outright requesting fashwave images from other fascists on here:

i’m not only worried about this for the sake of kicking weird fascist cunts like this off of the site, but also because of the fact that his entire persona has been attracting minors who don’t understand the undertone or even ecofascism itself. i’ve recently talked to one who had drawn fan art for the page! this isn’t good at all!

please spread this.

Twitter made the Jewish lady that posted this delete it for “threatening violence.”

Her followers spent the rest of the day tweeting this. Trolls couldn’t keep up.

Ava’s Demon controversy update - tumblr proves itself shitty once again.

Tumblr is one of the worst platforms for a content creator. Its “cancel culture” is toxic, disgusting, and abusive. This site is full of people who obsess over the art but despise the artists. Nowhere else on the internet will you find such self-righteous, holier-than-thou people who preach tolerance but will jump at the slightest opportunity to tear someone down.

Most of my followers aren’t Ava’s Demon fans, but fyi the same thing happened to DANARUNE, the art director of The Arcana. She’s also a friend of the creator of Ava’s Demon.

These smear campaigns aren’t done for moral justice. They are carefully curated plans of attack against the author by people who have a personal vendetta who know how to use and manipulate the internet into doing their dirty work for them.

Don’t share callout posts.

Don’t hop on the bandwagon when it passes by.

Don’t believe flimsy, out of context evidence.

Protect our creators so they don’t make the (honestly, logically sound) decision of leaving this hellsite.

This has been a PSA.

Ancestry.com created a “Slavery Love Story” commercial between a white man and a black woman, and removes the commercial after backlash.

They created the commercial to promote that Black Americans can also have their “Ancestry” “Traced” in America, since they can’t trace back Black people’s DNA because of Slavery, they’re implying that at least they can trace that “White blood” in you so you can participate in Ancestry com.

Hi friendly learning disabled/difficulty-ed person here with an unfriendly message!

THE REASON IT’S NOT USED ANYMORE IS BECAUSE WE CAMPAIGNED LIKE FUCK AND MADE ENOUGH NOISE AND IF NECESSARY,  PUNCHING THEM IN THE METAPHYOICAL AND NO SO METAPHORICAL DICKSTHAT THE ABLED FINALLY GOT IT THROUGH THEIR IDIOTIC SKULLS THAT WE HAD ENOUGH OF THEIR USING THAT WORD TO HURT US.

SO DON’T FUCKING USE IT YOU ABSOLUTE  HORSEFART.

Retard/retarded isnt really used as a slur these days so I dont see the problem with it

It isn’t used as a slur these days precisely because there was massive pushback against people using it.

RECLAMATION DOESN’T WORK THE WAY YOU THINK IT DOES YOU FUCKING MORON

^^ This,

subtitle regulations really need to catch up to modern day productions on youtube

when you have big professional companies like bon appetit, or geek & sundry, or microjig, or americas test kitchen, and theyre producing content to put on youtube and other sites, they shouldnt be allowed to rely on auto captioning, or fans captioning it for them

closed captioning regulations had to be implemented for tv and film because otherwise, we just…. didnt get any

and now that they can get away with not doing it on the internet, theyve gone right back to not captioning anything because nobody is making them

those regulations really need to catch up

tl;dr im hard of hearing and im pissed that closed captioning isnt required on videos on the internet

So Snopes has confirmed that this post about Israel destroying those two libraries is not true; it’s misleading in some ways and complete bullshit in others. Please stop spreading it. There’s plenty of ways to criticize Israel without resorting to blatant lies.

Here’s the Snopes fact check.

Please reblog this if you don’t mind.
