"You don't get to come up to Jews and go "oops! I'm so super duper sorry I accused you of raping Palestinians"

This is CRAZY.

The video below goes through a twitter thread where many cases of IDF rape are documented.

Also, the conflation of Jews generally with the IDF/Israeli government is insulting to all the Jews who haven't been completely brainwashed into being genocidal maniacs.

For every person who, in their pursuit of Palestinian freedom, has become a virulent antisemite, I hope you know that there will be no forgiveness for you when you eventually drop this trend like you did with Ukraine.

You don't get to come up to Jews and go "oops! I'm so super duper sorry I accused you of raping Palestinians and drinking the blood of babies! So like, how about that new season of Good Omens?"

In Judaism, sins are forgiven not through the grace of G-d, but by the affected party.

And we will not forgive you.

hey um! with KOSA looking more and more closer to passing, email and call your reps to prevent it from passing! especially with ~3 days (as of the 2/23/2024 update on this post) left until KOSA is decided bad internet bills is a helpful site with an easy to fill out forum that does not take long to complete stop KOSA is also another good site w/ a prefilled out message you can send (with resources for those not in the U.S. too!), and much like bad internet bills, it has an easy to fill out form that does NOT take long to complete EFF has a comprehensive analysis on the bill--and allows you to take action, helps you look up and contact your representative. your phone number is required, and this seems to be the longest of the three to fill out, but it is AS important as the rest this is very important! because this will effect ALL of us, not just usamericans! this is something that has the power to irreversibly ruin the internet as a whole

I didn't know predstrogen or her blog but that doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to you. if they came for her they will come for you. if you're not trans they will come for you when they're done with them.

hate doesn't start and end with one target, it morphs and amalgamates until no one is safe, and it lashes out a lot.

Updated an older image I made since I remembered the massive document that leaked a while back. (It's directed at TERFs, if it wasn't obvious enough.)

You can believe in magic, but watch out.

hey this isn't like me at all but is anyone paying attention to the fact that they just banned all gender affirming care for under 19s in alabama? is anyone paying attention to us at all?

Once again rebloging this. This person keeps Harassing @8bitchmain and @smooshi-graysimp

If you see this person interacting in your posts and your DM. BLOCK IMMEDIATELY!

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO THE BRAWL STARS COMMUNITY

So, i will take it short. a person called "turkishmax" joined tumblr. ive known the person for sometime now and let me tell you something.

THEY ARE NO GOOD.

they mostly go around peoples post, asking them to follow/sponsor them in a unkind manner.

if you gently refuse they might call "gay, absent-minded, superior" etc etc (thats what they called me when we first met.)

i firstly saw them on c.ai, i thought that they were a normal person who just cant speak english good. then they joined comic.studio, went to my post celebrating getting Piano 8Bit skin, asked me to follow and recommend their account, of course ive gently refused.

then they started to call me gay, absent minded and superior (and some other stuff)

((there was some other stuff but I don't think they're important tbh))

i immediatly got uncomfortable, but i tried to shrug it off, saying that i find it funny.

some days later they got banned for proshipping and homophobia on comic.studio

now theyre here, on tumblr.

They went to comment on one of my posts [https://www.tumblr.com/8bitchmain/768311410843435008/some-ll-fans-r-pissing-me-off-so-imma-say-it-stop?source=share] (screenshots from the post in the bottom) and started begging for me to follow and recommend them, of course I immediately refuse due to my past experience with her, but it didn't seem like she cared, I was showing clear signs of discomfort but they still wanted for me to follow and recommend her, no matter how I felt.

At some point I was shaking so hard one of my friends just had to step in and defend me because I couldn't type properly

WHAT DO TO?

Just, block and report her, it's the easiest way for us to do so. I don't see any other way tbh.

REBLOGS ARE HEAVILY APPRECIATED EVEN IF YOU ARENT IN THE BRAWL STARS FANDOM

PSA: the guardian is not working on a hit piece on diy hrt, and claims they are are misinformation (see update)

UPDATE: the guardian has published an article referenced by the original 4chan post, which was legitimate. the email continues to be fake. the article appears not to have contacted trans people or under-18s. and the message remains the same: don't talk to journalists about your personal information or history. you can see a recap and response to this publishing here. tl;dr: claims that the guardian's Susanna Rustin is writing a piece on diy hrt and contacting trans people for comment is false.

on the 18th, this post appeared on 4chan's /lgbt/ (slurs in thread: link). a screenshot was posted to reddit, then to tumblr. you've probably seen it:

today, the 23rd, another screenshot popped up on various discord servers, then was reposted variously to twitter. it shows a supposed email from guardian journalist and notorious TERF Susanna Rustin, claiming as the original 4chan post does.

it's now been shared around, and it's with good intentions. the message is useful: don't share your personal information or medical data with journalists, especially ones that happen to be TERFs.

but the post does this through misinformation and fearmongering. i'm still waiting on my response by email from Rustin, but she's reiterated twice (once, twice) that she did not write the email and is not working on such a story. on the 19th, i talked to other guardian newsroom journalists, who said they also did not know of a story's existence.

the moral of the story: this is misinformation, and it's dangerous. it spreads a fine message here, but it does it through spreading anxiety and terror.

you can follow along with this post on my parallel thread on twitter. also calling on @wakewithgiggli to delete their original post!

Btw shout-out to disabled people who feel sexual attraction but can't have sex or masturbate. Shout-out to disabled people who can't have sex or masturbate because it hurts. Shout-out to disabled people who can't have sex or masturbate because they're dependant on a caregiver. Shout-out to disabled people who can't have sex or masturbate because they're deemed "too mentally immature". Shout-out to disabled people who can't have sex or masturbate because they would be bedridden for days if not weeks on end. Shout-out to disabled people who can't have sex because they can't get into the right positions. Shout-out to disabled people who can't have sex because once their partner finds out they're disabled they refuse. Shout-out to disabled people who can't have sex because they can't go out to meet people.

Disabled people are not your uwu sexless perfect babies or broken people incapable of sexual pleasure. We deserve to be talked about in all aspects of life and the fact we aren't taught sex ed besides from an able bodied and able mental standpoint is genuinely god awful. No one talks Abt this and we deserve to be seen

Kindly take a break from scrolling to read this, it's important.

Take your time to grieve and come to terms with the election results, but once you've done that, it's time to get to work. We have two months. And a lot to do in that time. We have to prepare, to be ready.

Be careful about what you post or say online. Anything potentially incriminating should be avoided. Threatening language, even if clearly a joke, can be used against you.

Know someone who's trans? Someone who's had an abortion? Someone who's LGBTQIA+? Someone who's an immigrant? Someone who attends protests? Someone who's disabled? Someone who might in any way be at risk due to laws being put into place? No you don't.

Move away from social media platforms and browsers that require you to use your real identity or input a large amount of personal information. Now's a good time to find alternate means of communicating online. Tails, Element, Tor, Mastodon, Firefox, and Lemmy are all decent options.

Find a community. Someone you can talk to, either online or in real life, that you'll have reliable contact with. We need to try and create a network, but one that's as anonymous as possible.

Start scrubbing your trail as much as possible. Get rid of old accounts that can still be traced to you but are no longer used, delete personal data off the internet. There are websites out there that will freely remove your data from the internet, but be careful about which one you use, make sure it's safe and legitimate first.

Change any usernames that you can that contain any personal information. Names, birthdays, anything.

Plan B has a four year shelf life. Stock up, but don't take more than you you'll need. We don't want a COVID repeat where everyone buys an excessive amount of things and leaves none for everybody else.

There are doctors that will sterilize you, if that's the way you want to go.

Stop using online period trackers right now. Delete all data from it if possible first, then delete the app itself. If you must, write it down, but in a subtle manner and on something you keep at home. Don't label it, just put the dates. If you're really worried, discard older records and only keep the most recent few, and label the dates as other random events, like "go to mall" or "chicken salad for dinner this night"

Get your vaccines now.

Save money.

Archive. We have to start collecting records, media, data, books, and articles now. On racism, on fascism, on homophobia, on gender, on self-reliance, on survival, on safe travels routes, on equality, on justice, on anything that may be useful and/or censored soon. We can't let them erase it.

Collect those online resources. Bookmark them, copy files into your storage, Screenshot pages. Create a decentralized library where everyone is working to be part of a whole, storing what they can individually and sharing it between one another. Again, be careful about doing this.

Second-hand bookstores are your best friend. Books are usually very cheap in them, and they often have a decent stock. See what you can find.

When buying ANYTHING I have mentioned above, or anything else that maybe put you in danger, try to use cash to reduce your spending trail.

Check your car information online, many newer models can be remotely tracked.

Turn your phone completely off if you may be at risk due to your location and current activities. Turning off your GPS also helps.

Take note of where you are. Who are your friends? Who's a safe person? Where can you go besides your own home that you know you'll be safe? Establish these connections now.

Who around you is not safe? Who and where do you need to avoid? Do you need to move? If you cannot afford moving but need to, there are fundraisers that can help you. If even that is not an option, at least try to make sure your home is secure. Have someone who can help you. Have a fallback safe place.

And finally, I want anyone with resources to put them in the replies. Flood it with useful links, information, tips, anything. We're in this together. Do not panic. Organize.

EDIT: Please be civil in the replies.

Yea, I'm pro TransUnity™.

I would like a united community! But to accomplish that you don't shut down anyone talking about intra-community issues and saying we "divide the community" or are "playing opression olympics". Rather, you need to listen.

Listen to transmisogyny-affected people about intracommunity transmisogyny. Listen to trans poc about intracommunity racism. Listen to disabled trans people about intracommunity ableism. Etc, Etc.

Listen to people you want to share a community with you have privilege over, just LISTEN for once, without immediately snapping back! Maybe you'll learn something instead of alienating people you have privilege over and pushing them to make their own smaller communities. And maybe then we can finally have some fucking TransUnity™

A reminder that Wilbur Soot has been trying to go by his legal name of Will Gold in some parts of the music industry. His full name is William Patrick Gold. If you see that name, that's him. Do not let this bitch ever get the chance to even try and rebuild his reputation.
