#Advertisement genocide please

[novastellavox]

You know what I hate most about online advertisements?

To be able to use the internet, you pay money.

Either for Wifi or for Data.

So what that means is:

If advertisements take up 60% of the website and take 100% more data to load, since "haha! VIDEO ADVERTISEMENTS on youtube and all other websites!!"

You PAY TO WATCH ADVERTISEMENTS FOR PRODUCTS YOU'LL NEVER FUCKING BUY!!!

I hate ads SO FUCKING MUCH. Ads are parasites. Ads are the pest of humanity. If anyone's gonna add an adblocker-blocker to their site, I would absolutely study Computer science and become a hacker just to take down the fucking adblock-blocker. And no! THERE IS NO 'Reasonable amount of advertisements' THE REASONABLE AMOUNT IS ZERO. NADA! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

I am so fucking done with it

[butterflypark]

You should make zionists uncomfortable btw

Keep talking and bringing up Palestine

Advertise that you and everything about you is pro Palestine

Make sure nobody can even entertain the idea of ignoring Palestine

Are you part of a fandom? Draw pro palestinian fanart (and link resources)

Go to protests and wear pro Palestine pins (if it's safe for you to do so)

Buy and wear a keffiyah

Do not let genocide supporters find safe and comfortable spaces

Do not be a safe space for war criminals

Do not let people take comfort in your assumed neutrality

Do not allow people ignore genocide

Edit: this is getting traction again so I wanna add a few resources to help you turn your anger into change

Daily click:

Free documentary about Gaza's Fight For Freedom:

I'm only going to link two since that's the limit for most people before they just scroll down and ignore it. Please give the documentary a watch whenever you have time

IMPORTANT FINAL EDIT: THE PARTNERSHIP AND UPDATE PLANNED WITH IT HAVE BEEN INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED. i might delete this post within the next few days i'm still not 100% sure if i should or not especially since the information on it about ludeo is still relevant. however rain world has halted working with them and the update planned to implement the feature is not going ahead. thanks to everyone who spoke up and helped getting this out there and to the attention of the developers and akupara

i haven't seen this up until this morning and not all that many people within the rain world community seem to be talking about it but

it's come to my attention that rain world has recently partnered with a company known as ludeo for the game's newest update. this was tucked away in the replies of their rain world art month post

ludeo is an israeli company run by two brothers based in tel-aviv. this is incredibly disappointing and fucked up to be doing during the on-going genocide israel is committing in palestine and the surrounding regions and i quite frankly do not care if it turns out this was just down to "poor research" and was an "accident": you can quite literally look up the two founders' names on linkedin and find out where they are based in under a minute. there are no excuses for this

another point of note about ludeo that i find upsetting is that a lot if not all of the images used on the company's site to advertise this product are 99.9% guaranteed to be ai-generated

while this is absolutely not the main issue at hand here as promoting your partnership with this company at this time is already fucked up enough to begin with, going and hiding this post within the replies of another promoting your art month event to the artists within this community is so astoundingly ironic and ignorant

i am not trying to suggest that there are alterior motives behind putting this post in the replies of another about a community event rather than making an entirely new and separate one dedicated exclusively to information about this update, but i do find it strange. i woke up to finding out about this and was absolutely livid, and while what's done is already done, i am hoping whoever was responsible for this knows how fucked it is to be promoting this company at this time, or just in general. i am not trying to start a witch hunt or start shit for the sake of starting shit, but i think this needs to be addressed and spoken about, as money towards israel is money towards more bloodshed and violence in palestine. this shit makes my blood fucking boil

edit: i feel like i should also put this here if this wasn't already terrible enough

please continue sharing support for palestine. links below are sites and donation links that go directly towards supporting palestinian people in need

Time to boycott Hulu, y'all! This is disgusting!

https://twitter.com/LumpyLouish/status/1751042267043762630?t=-VJwjXP4rxabMMwFjZU15g&s=19

This is disgusting. It makes me think of ALL IOF officials and pro-zionist Israeli influencers talking about turning Gaza into a "paradise." Now they've made it into an advertisement glorifying their settler-colonial project as tourism -negating the genocide and the fact this would be built on top of the mass graves of Palestinian adults and children.

Please find other places to subscribe to to watch content. Hulu, you're garbage.

[yourtongzhihazel]

There is a list of words the liberal trot out to explain or denounce why something is bad. Words like totalitarian, authoritarian, propaganda, populist, etc.. some of those words are politically neutral.

Words like propaganda, for example, which discribes any media that seeks to shape opinion. Propaganda can be good, or bad. A poster asking you to please throw away your garbage or a video about the benefits of a certain policy is just as much propaganda as an election advertisement or a news program. But because a liberal's political analysis is shallower than a thin puddle, the very word itself is an anathema.

Other words like authoritarian or totalitarian are simply nonsensical frlm the get go. They assume a state or government that doesn't use authority. A democracy is just as much authroitarian as a class dictatorship. One just comes out and admits it instead of hiding it behind ideology. Authority is, like many other things, a tool. It can be used as a tool of oppression, or a tool of political-economical progress. You can use it to genocide a people or mobilze a population to construct high speed rail. The very interchangeability of both aforementioned terms is proof of their uselessness.

The crux of the issue, as usual, comes down to the idealistic foundation of liberalism. It is an ideology which doesnt want to call itself an ideology (because ideology is a BAD WORD! SpoOooky!!!). An ideology built by the bourgeoisie for bourgeois interests hence why at the core of all the pontificating about "freedom" or "liberty" is the sacrament of private property -- profit.

[opencommunion]

This might be a bit silly. You suggested to email journos from the washington post about the article on the palestinian infants killed. Do you know what would be an effective message to write? Apart from suicide baiting

Update, I just checked and they changed the headline to "Israel's assault forced a nurse to leave babies behind. They were found decomposing." Which still doesn't sit right with me because it seems to partly blame the nurse, when obviously he had no choice because the babies could not be evacuated (as the article itself makes clear). So I still think it's worth pressuring them to change it, and to do better in the future.

I actually would NOT recommend emailing the journalists though! The link I posted was contact info for the editorial leadership, here it is again:

It's almost always editors who choose headlines, not journalists. I checked the social media of the writers of that particular article and they all reposted it with a caption that clearly conveyed the occupation's crimes. The article itself is actually some of the better reporting I've seen in the western press. So please don't harass the writers! As for the editors, I think the best way to pressure them is to emphasize that genocide denial, even if it's profitable in the short term, will do long-term damage to their publication's credibility. History will remember which publications supported Israel's crimes, openly or tacitly. The job of an editor is basically to protect the publication's image so it remains marketable (to subscribers, but more importantly to advertisers and investors). Most publications that have a reputation for being "liberal," like WashPo, are currently trying to dance on a line where they appeal to both genocidal maniacs and reasonable human beings. Our job imo is to send the message that they can't have it both ways, that we can recognize their support for genocide even when it's cloaked by weasel words, and that in the digital age every move they make stays on the public record forever. So let's not suicide bait, but let them know that in the eyes of the public they're losing any reputation they had for serious journalism. It doesn't have to be a super well-composed email imo, just telling them how the headline made you feel will show them what impact their editorial choices are having on how their product is perceived, and hopefully push them to reassess their strategy

[custom-emojis]

regarding my last ask, i was kinda hoping you'd make an announcement about palenstine. just doing a stream doesnt raise much awareness because not everyone in the server will take part. an @everyone would go much farther

dude i so desperately want to believe this is bait and you're not actually this fucking stupid. but just in case you are this stupid, riddle me this. how in the world is me doing a charity stream across multiple platforms that is actively raising money for the red crescent and sending that money to go directly toward humanitarian aids. Less helpful than me just doing an @ everyone ping (which, btw, does not actually ping everybody in a server as big as mine. you need to use role pings or it just pings online members) with a bunch of links or talking in depth about something that is soooooo outside my lane. There is Palestinians who are using their own voices to talk about their genocide, why the fuck would I throw mine in?

Please listen to me. Please listen and understand and get it through your head. A stream that is being advertised across MULTIPLE PLATFORMS that is likely to attract my older fans with disposable income is EONS more useful than a fucking ping in a discord server that I know for a fact will likely be cleared and not even looked at.

"just doing a stream doesnt raise much awareness" Even if that were true, "awareness" is not going to buy medical supplies. "awareness" is not going to buy food, its not going to buy Esims for when the internet is shut back off or more infrastructure is bombed. Even if that were true, me doing a charity stream and raising money to do directly to those who need help is more effective than a ping or a reblog chain on tumblr or some "awareness" online. Please, please, for the love of god, look into how to do activism outside of tumblr and the direct realm of the internet.

[incorrectmlpstudentsixquotes]

I wonder how many followers I’m about to lose.

So, I try to keep personal stuff on my personal blog, separate from this blog, because I know you come here for the silly quotes and I don’t want to distract you from that or upset you when you’re just coming here for a quick laugh.

But this kinda trumps all of that.

There is a genocide happening right now. Palestinians are being slaughtered with the very clear intent of wiping them off the map.

I am dirt poor with very little prospects. I have very little money to spend on charities or relief funds or even people’s personal gofundmes for things like just getting out of Palestine before they die.

But I do have this blog, and I have all of the wonderful people who keep coming back here, day after day, to get a little laugh. I hope to keep this blog going for as long as I can so I can keep you laughing for as long as I can.

But this is where I have to play the panhandler and ask for some of that good will back. I have to. This is too huge NOT to.

If you have any money, any at all, to spare, please look into the various relief programs or personal gofundmes that can increase Palestinians’ chances for survival. Every little bit helps.

And if you’re like me and you have absolutely no money to spare, try checking out Arab.org. It’s a clever little site where, by clicking on each of their tabs daily, you watch a very short advertisement that increases revenue for their charity.

If even half of my followers made the effort of clicking each tab on that site on a daily or even semi-daily basis, it would make a world of difference to a lot of people.

I’m going to pin this post so that it’ll always be available to see. I appreciate every single one of you and I thank you for coming back, day after day, for these silly little quotes. You have no idea how happy each and every like and reblog and submission make me.

Your "faves" should be more uncomfortable being complacent in/ supporting a genocide than people confronting them about it.

First and foremost, Free Palestine, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Yemen, Sudan, and Tigray.

You can't genuinely want liberation if you are more concerned abt your fave celebs being "uncomfortable." The reason for quotations is because there is no real uncomfortably for them. So what that they had to step out of their luxury cars and get the bottom of their designer shoes dirty to walk a few blocks? So what that they had people shouting about a genocide they are actively supporting or being complacent in?

They have no issue using their platforms to advertise Israeli products, content, or vacations funded by Pro- Israeli corporations. There are people experiencing famine, bombings, assault and harassment from the Israeli occupation. There were enough people in that room alone at the Oscars to spark up a genuine uproar, something that could be denied or looked away from.

Is it not dystopian to you that these people can put on thousand if not millon dollar outfits to enjoy top-of-the-line food and drink while there are breastfeeding mothers who can't provide enough nourishment for themselves to feed their children? Does it not bother you that while most of our country suffers from the insane inflation crisis, housing crisis, police brutality, and a COVID issue that people can't seem to grasp the severity of, we get the Oscars being peddled by any major outlet instead things that actually matter? WAKE UP.

These people get to go home to houses and resources that people are being killed for. The least they could do(Especially if they reside within a white male able body), is to stand up and use their voices when the only consequence would have been the stifling silence that comes with sitting with the vile choices they've made by being followers.

During this time please listen and follow the voices of the oppressed during this time. Now more than ever, information has to come from the source as well as the call to action. Build community in your neighborhoods, and don't stop talking about the state of our world. There are lives that depend on it as well as ours.

[grave-z-boy]

I’m just chilling, watching YouTube, when an ad shows a guy passing around a petition to “help hamas free Palestine” then he starts reading the “terms and conditions” and it’s shit like “everyone who is not Muslim should be killed” “gay people should be killed” etc etc trying to turn people who were originally willing to sign a petition to help free Palestine against Palestinians.

Then when I clicked visit advertiser it sent me to another video talking about “Hamas stole our children, bring then home”

Btw I have never seen an ad of someone from Palestine openly accusing Israel of genocide or calling them homophobes or kidnappers or killers, I’ve only ever seen videos from Palestinians who are fighting for their lives day and night, trying desperately to get anyone to help them.

Please stay informed on the active genocide in Palestine and do not fall for Israel’s propaganda

!Do what you can to help!

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN BRASIL RIGHT NOW:

So, as some of you may have noticed, today (2/10) was elections day here in Brasil. Things are really tense and scary here, at least for myself. Right now, our president, unfortunately, is Jair Bolsonaro, a man who has openly said he supports torture and our dictature, is also openly misogynist, queerphobic, the first thing he did when he became president was putting an end to the ministery of culture, he openly made fun of the pandemic, being able to help the people in need during covid's peak and decided not to, saying things like "it's just a little flu, people need to stop being so dramatic about it", made advertisement of a medecine not approved by doctors which his supporters started taking like water, never properly wore a mask and promoted marches during the lockdown, oh, and also spread fake news about vaccines, wich made a lot of people refuse to take them, among many many maaaany other things (I'm so tired rn, it's 02:59am here, if you guys want to, I can get the sources and post here but tomorrow.). Today we had the chance to take him out of our lives, but this is Brasil, no one takes anything seriously and we always find a nee way to surprise people.

I didn't want to sleep until the votes apuration reached 100% but I'll be waking up super early tomorrow so yeah, I must sleep. Anyways, the vote apuration is currently on 99,99% (it's been for the last hour btw) but those ate the results so far.

In conclusion, I am legitmately terrified. Lula was our best shot to take him out, so everyone who didn't want Bozo voted for him, and we were really hopefull we could get him elected on the first turn, but now we'll have to have a second one where we choose either Lula or Bolsonaro. The choice is obvious to me, but as you guys can see, most people prefer to elect a genocidal man than a socialist.

I don't really know what I wanted to achieve with this post, but I just thought it was important to let everybody now what is happening here. We are comparing this to our period of dictature, bc a lot of people here still deny the fact we had one or say it was the best time of their lives and that, quoting my grandma "the history books are wrong".

I once had to research the kinds of tortures that were made by the army during the dictature for school and it still haunts me to this day.

And to see people in the streets, using my beloved flag as their symbol to say that that period was good makes me really angry and terribly sad.

I'm fucking terrified of the second turn. Things are getting more and more expensive here. There are reports of people raiding garbage trucks to look for food bc they're hungry. I am lucky to be privileged and I can still buy food, but for how long? I don't really wanna find out what four more years with him as president will do to us, but I'm scared. I'm scared to go out in the streets, and to openly say my opinions on the matter. There are also reports of people being murdered on the streets bc they were wearing stickers of leftists candidates.

Things are scary here. But please, don't let this be ignored like the dictature was. We now have internet on our side. Please, pray for us and wish us luck, we'll need it.

[walks-the-ages]

It's january, which means it's seed-buying time for many gardeners! So, here is your reminder: Do not buy anything from Baker Creek / Rareseeds. com ; they are racist, anti-vaxxers; they steal varieties from Native communities, are friends with Clive Bundy, wanted to invite Robert F Kennedy Jr to one of their seed expos. They've fundraised for the homophobic and misogynistic Salvation Army

They have adopted young children from asian countries to use as free advertising for their "~exotic Asian seed varieties~" by having them pose with all of the (stolen + renamed) Asian varieties as young children-- might have to check the Wayback Machine to see this in action, or look at physical seed packets for this, as they've cut back on it after coming underfire for such a gross practice.

Anyways, would you like to know who you SHOULD support this year when purchasing seeds?

Experimental Farm Network, who has been nothing but vocally supportive of Palestinians and calling for everyone to do what they can to end the genocide Israel is committing.

[ID: A facebook post by Experimental Farm Network, which shows a hand holding three young, fuzzy Yakteen gourds, which are oblong, light green fruits with a visible fuzz on the outside, with dried blossoms visible on the ends. The post reads: "These are 'Palestine Yakteen' gourds at almost the perfect size for harvest. I normally would've waited to pick them about twice as large, when they're still tender and delicious. But the first big frost (a couple months ago) had killed the plant, so these were officially done. The plant was a volunteer in my backyard. I didn't even know it was there until about September, and in November I was enjoying these first — and last — fruit (with garlic, parsley, salt, and Palestinian olive oil). It was, no doubt, the most bittersweet meal of my life. Today is the 100th day of unimaginable violence against Palestinians in Gaza. South Africa is arguing in the International Court of Justice that Israel is committing genocide. Hundreds of Gazans are still dying every day, from bombings, yes, but now also from hunger, thirst, disease, and exposure. From the comfort of our heated homes, with our drinkable running water, working toilets, and well-stocked pantries, in communities with functioning clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies available to us should we need them, it's impossible to really understand what life is like in Gaza right now. It may seem incongruous — or even trite — to post a picture of some pretty vegetables in this context, but the Yakteen can serve as an important reminder of the humanity and beauty of Palestinian people and their ancient culture. They are not nameless, faceless nobodies. They tend gardens, smell flowers, celebrate with family and friends over steaming dishes of lovingly prepared food. They love deeply. They sing and dance and laugh. They are just like you or me. Please do not only remember them today. Take action to help them. Or resolve to take action. Or reach out and ask someone how you can take action. Do something. Please. Because you can. end ID]

This is just one of many posts they have shared on their social medias since the genocide began, and they have been partnered with Palestine Heirloom Seed Library to help raise funds; each packet of seeds from their Palestine collection has 50% of the proceeds going towards funding the Seed Library, and they

If you have friends or family who order from Baker Creek, please let them know exactly who they are supporting -- and reassure them that dozens of other seed companies with much better ethics are out there, offering those exact same "rare" varieties! Seedsavers.org is another great heirloom alternative, with the bonus that they regularly work on seed Rematriation- returning Native heirloom varieties to the indiginous communities who created them

This post is in no way created to target or promote hatred towards Stray Kids, Other K-pop groups, or their agencies. It is to raise awareness and share my opinion.

Let's talk about the "K-wave" Coca-Cola x K-pop campaign. The fact that Stray Kids is one of the faces of it bothers me a lot. I haven't been online much so I didn't know about this till a few hours ago.

It's been four months since I have been boycotting (as much as I can) major food, fashion, and skincare companies that fund and aid the Genocide of the Palestinian people and will be continuing to do so.

I've been supporting Stray Kids for almost three years now and though I love them. I will not stand by this decision to advertise this campaign.

I am against them or any other idol endorsing the Coca-Cola brand.

The increase in Brands on Boycott reaching forward to Idols trying to get them to advertise, use, or be photographed with their products should be concerning. Big agencies like JYPE should have a political stand and try to at least do/show what's right. Unfortunately, this is not a utopian world and at the end of the day, they have to do what major investors and bosses want.

Saying that however we also have to understand that they lack the freedom of choice. Let me be clear I do not hate Stray Kids. I will also not stand by the statement that they support genocide and I'll explain why. Throughout the years the members have secretly and non-secretly shown us how each of them is involved in charitable and humanitarian organizations that help humans and animals, and I applaud that. They are good people with enough knowledge and a conscious. There is no room for doubt there. Idols are trained to not be involved in controversies. They are not allowed to show support for either side and sometimes this backfires. Like how they have to do ads for companies that may be directly or indirectly in said controversies.

Now, the reason: Stray Kids and all other idols work on contracts and once signed they are indebted to their agencies or labels to get the work done. Now, of course, they can say no. But with the system by refusing they are liable to huge financial losses which could land them in debt or worse Hiatus/Termination of their contracts.

I am a Stay, I will always be a Stay. I have so much to be thankful for to Stray Kids but just because they are my favorite idols does not mean I will support all of their content blindly. And neither should you. They might not be able to express their choice but we can.

So for now I've decided I will not be viewing or engaging in any content released by them as a part of this campaign (like the JYPE family M/V) or any advertisements that involve big fashion/ non-fashion brands on the boycott list. I encourage you not to spend money on merchandise and albums that put money directly in the pockets of record labels and Agencies.

I like to believe that they are not completely oblivious to what is happening in the world no matter how much the mainstream media try to cover it up. I sincerely hope whatever money they get from this campaign is used well for humanity.

Boycott Coca-Cola. Boycott brands that support the Genocide.

FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

(if my post has any mistakes or any incorrect information I'm open to constructive criticism as I am still trying to educate myself more on current affairs right now. I hope my point was clear. I love Stray Kids and Their music and I will continue to love them. I do not support this particular campaign. That's it)

Please take everything I said in a positive light. I do not want a wave of hate from strangers for me.

We are all Humans trying to do what's right.

[bunny-heels]

all my blogs are finally fully backed up so.

Matt is a fucking idiot. imagine being in charge of a website that advertises itself as the gayest place on the web when in reality all you do is sulk in your office being upset and whiny because people rightfully call you out on your hypocrisy, ignorance, neglect, and blatant bigotry.

there is a literal genocide happening that's been going on for years killing innocent people. a non-binary teen was beaten to death and the killers have basically gotten off free. and this fucking dumbass decides to worry about what people are saying about him online as if he isn't sitting in a pile of money like every other jackass CEO is dong. the fact Palestine isn't one of the listed trending tags on tumblr when i see news about it every 5 posts is ridiculous.

he's just like any other rich guy. he doesn't care about the wellbeing of others, thinks only for himself, puts others down when they feel threatened, and just wants more money.

tumblr stopped being a safe place for "outcasted" people years ago, even before the porn ban. in fact, maybe it never really was for outcated people. trans, black, and disabled users have been getting put down by this site for a very long time, and its fucking disgusting. this site literally houses the largest percentage of LGBT+ and disabled users i've ever seen if we're going by the polls where literally the option of cisgender and neurotypical is always under 1%. they literally are the reason this website still exist, because they've created their circles and safe spaces for them to feel comfortable sharing their life experiences and adventures through life.

most people on this site can't go a day in their real life without some form of harassment or hardship, they don't need that transferring to their digital life. every group of people deserves their own corner for them to have fun and get away from everything for a while. if that's taken away, you are left with people who are just throwing tantrums, and the actual users who made your site usable are now out there probably doing better than you and getting more respectable support than you will with your group of crying babies.

Matt is not a 13 year old kid running a GMod DarkRP server. Matt is not a 26 year old forum mod. he is a 40 year old CEO who is the founder of a well known blog creation site. he has an extremely important and powerful position, yet he is choosing to put his own immature feelings first before thinking about the safety of his own userbase that is literally used as this sites selling point.

the fucking audacity to do this shit to your own users that you literally use for a selling point when you won't even allow for certain tags to show up in the search because you claim for them to have sexual content meanwhile other tags are full of hatred, bigotry, and downright defamation of innocent people who just happen to live different lives is fucking gross. i absolutely cannot believe society and social norms have let the minds of people in power get this fucking bad. it's almost impressive, in a tortured lab monkeys way, not in an innovated and breakthrough way.

please protect all trans users, especially trans women/trans fems. please protect black users, disabled users, all people of color users, homeless/financially struggling users, harassed users, victims of assault users, Palestinian users, jewish users, any religious users-any user that you know for a fact could be thrown away by this bullshit system any day now, protect and take care of them, and make sure they know you'll always be there no matter what.
