How much do you get paid for hasbara and how do i get in on it. Does someone reach out or is there somewhere i can sign up to get on payroll too? Im really good at internet arguments and lying believably. I do it for fun already and would love to make a career of it. I cant in good consciousness urge jews out of the diaspora and into the desert bc it feels like continued annexation but ill totally spread israeli medias and pretend like i dont know how to recognize ethnic cleansing. I also love labelling everyone who disagrees with me a jew hater bc there is no way for them to argue with that one! Except when i call jews that it can be pretty embarrazzing for me but whatever then we just calls them self hating. PLEASE PUT ME ON THE PAYROLL I WILL BE A VALIANT KEYBOARD WARRIOR AND I ALREADY DONT HAVE FRIENDS TO LOSE OR SELF RESPECT OR HOPE FOR A FUTURE. PLEASE HOW DO I GET PAID FOR HASBARA

Like 50 million dollars a month bestie but there's an initiation ceremony where you have to drink the blood of 200 palestinian children snatches off the streets of Gaza (you have to do the snatching of course) and ngl its nothing like the blood of Christian babies and netanyahu himself has to knight you with an M16 it's all a big deal. I'd put in a good word for you but for that I need a recommendation letter from your parents and it doesn't seem to me like you're still in contact with them but no worries, I'm sure a stunning and brave Islamist out there can fuck your mom and give them a child they're actually proud of <3

This might sound defensive but if you're attracted to a 100% binary trans man as a woman then that's straight regardless of what you say, because trans men are men full stop, maybe it's unintentional for you but there's a lot of trans men aren't really men or are women-lite shit going around, reanalyze yourself and your transphobia because that's straight up awful shit and I'm so sick of seeing this being spread around it's fucking conversion therapy shit disguised as something positive reanalyze why you want trans men to be with lesbians so badly when lesbians traditionally mean and is understood by wide society to be women liking women, like actually sit and think about that, maybe it's hard to admit that it's offense but good fucking god

You seem to be under the assumption that I am forcing the tran men who identify as Lesbians to be not fully men or women lite and you are very wrong?? I do not see a trans man as any less of a man for being a Lesbian. He is a Man and A Lesbian. They are both true. They are not conflicting labels just because of societies perceptions of a word that was forcefully adjusted after Lesbian separatism.

Yow however are the one assigning those people a sexuality based on how you see their relationships. Is a woman supposed to break up or change her entire sexuality because her partner came out and she didn't stop being attracted to him? What if she still primarily dates women after they breakup for unrelated reasons? Does she earn being a Lesbian back? Or maybe consider how many trans men are butches in the community who are Men and Lesbians and their femmes love them and are no less lesbian to any of their peers. What about those who are firmly Trans men and Trans Women at the same time? Do they stop being a lesbian on "Man days"? Do they earn it back on women days? You know, to make sure on "man days" they aren't viewed as Womenlite for being a lesbian by their own choice. Where's the line anon?

It sounds defensive because it is. You are not reading a word I've said about any of this and are shoving shit I don't believe into my inbox under the guise that you think I condone any of what the fuck you iust said.

I am a man and spend half my time fighting to be seen properly as one against transphobic Lesbians who insist I have to be a Girl Butch otherwise they have the right to dictate who I can date. I fucking know more than enough about people who want to change my gender to fit their transphobic views. I spend an entire portion of my blog fighting about transmasculine rights if you bothered to look around before you sent this accusatory ask.

Some Trans Men are Lesbians because THEY WANT TO BE. When I talk about Lesbian Trans Men I am talking about ME and THEM. If you cannot understand that then you are not having the same conversation as me.

Also the fucking Lesbiphobia of revoking someones right to be a Lesbian because you don't see it that way is disgusting. Who the fuck are you to think it's okay to tell somone they aren't who they say they are? we got a council that can kick us out of our little clubs since that's how you wanna treat these identities?

wait stoat are you a zionist

I mean if by that you mean "I don't think the state of Israel deserves to be wiped from existence," then sure.

I just got the most transphobic youtube ad I’ve ever seen for a documentary on how doctors are pushing trans kids to get surgery because it’s apparently incredibly lucrative for them monetarily. I watched the whole thing so I could record it for posterity and I literally feel nauseous

For those who I know will ask: the ad was on the Jacob Geller video about the history of golems in Judaism and how it relates to the modern day American superhero. I usually get ads for Michaels, PetSmart, and Shein, since I frequent sites for arts supplies, pet stuff, and fashion. This was completely out of the blue. If any of y’all get an ad for a website/documentary called ‘gendertransformation.com’, click the fuck out of it. I’m horrified.

man the replies and tags on my last reblog are so wild... people are so adamant that jgy and wwx have NOTHING in common, as if it offends them personally that the protagonist and the antagonist are intentional parallels to make a point about society (and not about their individual morality)

"jgy did it for himself" (nothing wrong with wanting to be respected/ not insulted everywhere he goes)

"jgy killed people for ambition" (no, he killed people for self preservation + everyone in the jianghu kills people for less?)

"jgy married his sister and killed his son" (the in/cest was accidental, he married her to protect her reputation instead of repudiating her, and he ALLEGEDLY killed his son, but this accusation is only raised by notorious gossip sect leader Yao in the novel, so ymmv)

"jgy never helped anyone else (unlike wwx)" This one is just WILD? Even ignoring all of the above, this one just shows you have not been paying attention to him. What about that time he won the war for the Sunshot forces, saved NMJ's life in Nightless city, saved Lan Xichen in hiding, rebuilt the Cloud Recesses, built the Watchtowers that saved thousands of commoners over the years (many more than some random night hunt by the gentry ever had), and single handedly gave a decade of peace and prosperity to the jianghu?

That is not to say he did not commit atrocities to protect himself (again, he was hardly the only one to do so) but... way to absolutely ignore all of the significant, enormous good he did. He saved so, so many more people than anyone else in the story. Tenfold, a hundredfold more. I have to assume not much thought was spared to JGY's motivations to have such an incomplete and two-dimensional view of him... I encourage you to think past the villain bias and go back to the actual story to fact check (and for what it's worth, if you've only seen CQL/The Untamed I assure you you don't have all the facts!)

The salient point is that mxtx makes these parallels between wwx and jgy on purpose, and none of it is about who is "good" or "bad" and what is "deserved". You do the story a disservice by flattening it to good vs bad., and besides it simply does not work if you read it that way: if the story were simply about good people winning and bad people getting their due, how do you explain what happened to XXC, WQ, WN, etc?

Western “Celebs” or “influencers” need to sit the fuck down and stop speaking on or sharing posts (that they are not writing or fact checking) on serious world issues. Either educate yourself or shut the fuck up.

We can tell when y’all are not even doing the bare minimum of research. Human atrocities and political issues aren’t trends that you can use to try to make yourself look good on social media when in reality, you’re doing more harm than good. If you have a large platform, by all means, use it but use it correctly and do your own research instead of jumping on the first bandwagon you see.

[redwinterroses]

I swear some of the misinformation on this site is worse than what my great aunt shares on facebook. Y'all ever consider actually looking up a shocking fact before you hit reblog and tag it with #OMG I never knew about this!

ROFL I’m actually losing my mind

Noshir Dalal, well known fandom troll, made a clearly joking tweet about TBB all dying in season 3, and people are going crazy, like they legit think he’s serious 😂😂😂

All resources have aspects you can consider and use regardless of who's writing them or for what purpose, It is just important to read/use these resources critically. First identify are you paying for it or not, if you are be as selective as you want, in this horrific capitalism world we live in money equals direct support. 

Now if you’re not, regardless of the means you are not paying for something, there is plenty you can get from resources without agreeing with the core messages of them. As long as you keep in mind the issues while consuming them.

Like a book on wicca ceremony, wicca is full of cultural appropriation. You can still learn about maybe ways to organise group ceremonies, what roles in a leadership hierarchy are necessary for group organisation, etc. 

Like the Irish Pagan school, creator too mean? Atmosphere too nasty? Read their free blog, pirate their books, take what practices you think are legitimate and don’t engage with what you feel isn’t. 

Them Druidic societies and Celtic “shamans”, very problematic yet plenty of stuff on meditation, connecting to the earth and places of power. Some decent ethical guidelines on engagement. And shadow work stuff

I think because most of us are coming from a monotheistic background we have an unconscious belief that we must find a group of people who know everything and we must do everything they say or we all go to hell. Paganism is not about swearing yourself to live and die by an organisation. 

Every single one of us has an individual practise which we must put together from various imperfect sources, that is the nature of celtic paganism(s). There is plenty to be learned, and waiting until you find that one true (bible) resource is not going to be helpful. What will be is knowing the problems of whatever you are looking at and consuming it critically.

What if I theologized hanahaki? What then? Like if hanahaki was a symbol of unrequited love that desperately wants to be requited? Because God so loves us enough to want to be with us but also loves us enough to hold back lest His holiness turn us to ash because the flowers have become so embedded in us. So what if the flowers are a sign of our own rejection of God and the desperate craving we all have deep inside for Him...but also our way of melding with something that needs to go and thus being unable to be saved from it because we made it us in a sense? Like...

...

There’s a new wave of people who claim to be without the Flower Rot, also known as Hanahaki and Hua Bing.

These people claim that, without surgery, they have managed to completely remove the Rot. When asked what had caused this, one woman who wished to remain anonymous told the reporters, “It was…God, I guess. But He was also a man. He just…said that because the Rot’s too rooted in us, even if we wanted God we’d just burn with the flowers. But the only way’s to have His love take it away. So He said He’d take Rot and fade because He was a man, then come back because He’s God, and give us love to remove the Rot because He’s both.”

Her explanation aligns with similar ones from other witnesses with the Rot gone. They claim that the risk of fading with the removal of the flowers was taken by a man. But that His Godliness also signified that He could “grant His love” to permanently dispel the Rot.

As a refresher, it is quite unclear why the Rot suddenly began to manifest inside our lungs millennia ago. The most common legend is a tale of how humanity and God once lived in harmony in a garden. However, one day, man rejected God and told Him they could create a garden of their own. Though He offered a chance to repent from their rejection, having told them previously that such an endeavour would bring death upon them, they refused to acknowledge their wrong and were thus severed from His power and acceptance.

The proud declaration of humanity was not a nonsense claim, as they indeed found they could produce beautiful plant life for a garden.

However, that came with the cost of death, for these flowers grew inside them and were expelled through bloody coughs and sneezes.

Such is the duality of this universal Rot—a sign of divine rejection, some say, or a sign of our own ability to create beauty made more glorious through our own sacrifice, as others say. Of course, there are others who say this Rot is more complicated than simply a sign of our glory or a rejection from the divine, but those claims as much less popular.

In recent times, science has discovered that this Rot is simply a natural and inborn function of our body. “In fact, it’s inaccurate to call such a natural part of human experience a rot,” Doctor Kinuyo Yahagi of Hanahaki Research Association said, showing a bloodied purple iris of hers. “Yes, it is unpleasant but it is a fact of life, just like death and hunger and blood.” She then gave an animated explanation how there was a particular genetic wiring within our lungs linked to the brain’s rejection and affection chemicals. If the two are stirred in such a way, a pathway is made from the brain to the lungs triggering the genetic code and causing flowers to bloom.

“It can be removed by surgery,” a surgeon from the local medical center said. “However, studies have shown it is risky as it can affect your ability to love and process rejection, so it’s up to the patient to take the risk or not.”

Activists have cried that a difficulty in loving is not a sign of deteriorating humanity, and that those who choose the surgery are still acceptable.

“Hanahaki or not, we all still die, right?” a video of one academic debate records a professor speaking to one of the new Rot-less people.

The Rot-less person—a professor as well—nods thoughtfully. “Yes, but now, my death becomes a death without the disease signalling our separation from the divine, which is no true death at all.”

The ethics of removing the Flower Rot surgically still are debated, though much support for it has arisen in the past few decades. Research into these new rot-less people has also steadily increased, all done with the utmost legal and ethical restrictions to the volunteer’s rights.

“Hopefully, we’ll get to the bottom of this and find a better way to remove the disease,” Dr. Yahagi’s co-worker who wished to remain anonymous said. “Natural or not, it is still unpleasant. Why continue with something that is now proven to not be inevitable?”
