Qasim Rashid, Esq. (@/QasimRashid):

Class warfare is when there’s a limit to what poor & disabled people can earn before losing their benefits, but no limit to what billionaires can hoard while avoiding taxes.

We must reject the twisted idea that money incentivizes the rich but poverty incentivizes the poor.

November 21, 2024 -- By Scott Tong and James Perkins Mastromarino

Spray paint and roller skates are instruments of protest in an upcoming video game set in the Middle East. Pro-Palestinian and overtly activist, a downloadable prototype for “Palestine Skating Game” has players roll around the occupied West Bank, blasting globs of paint at tanks and a massive separation wall. “We have about two kilometers of the Israeli separation wall, along with like two kilometers of graffiti that is actually on the separation wall or has been on the separation wall,” says Justin, the main developer of the game. He spoke on the condition of using only his first name as his political views have sparked severe online harassment. More than 50 mostly-volunteer developers have contributed to “Palestine Skating Game” since its bootstrapped beginnings three years ago. The project grew from Justin’s love of Arabic electronic music and a 2018 visit to the region. “If absolutely nothing else, we will be recreating a lot of things that Palestinians are seeing and what they experience in an actual 3D space,” says Justin, “like the harassment at a checkpoint or an encounter with a gang of settlers.” Should it reach crowdfunding goals, the team plans to build levels based on the past, present and future of the West Bank and Gaza to both preserve a place that’s been destroyed and to imagine possible solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “What would a good future for Palestine look like?” asks Justin. “What would any kind of just a peace settlement look like — could they truly get along in any way, especially at this hour?” Meanwhile, the game’s community has taken real-world action. Its fans donated thousands of dollars to help a developer who worked on the game flee Gaza earlier this year. Justin traveled to Cairo to pay a travel service $7,500 to facilitate the coder and her sister’s escape to Egypt. Ultimately, Justin believes that “Palestine Skating Game” could bridge an empathy gap. “I really do hope that we reach American youth and people who play video games — it would be wonderful to target young white men who voted for [President-elect Donald] Trump with leftist video games generally,” says Justin. “To introduce them to a side of the Arab world that they never knew about — it's a vibrant, diverse and artistically brilliant place.”

let's start a new thing! what is the moral alignment for your ocs? <3

I've chosen to interpret good/evil as other people/self and lawful/chaotic as the usual society/freedom in addition to personal consistency. Otherwise it'd be kind of boring because I don't think anyone except Haksu would ever commit murder or otherwise embrace villainy.

LAWFUL GOOD

JAESEOP has what I've always referred to in my notes as the protagonist build. He has plot armor. He has a strong sense of justice. He helps old ladies cross the street. He's the type to save the world and his friends and get the girl. You get the picture. He's also very consistent with these traits, even if they're not necessarily the law.

BYEONGHWI is more of a textbook lawful good. He's into tradition and honor and filial piety and the patriarchy. He has that Confucianism in him. It kind of defines his entire life and he doesn't mind. That's where his personal morals come from.

NEUTRAL GOOD

ANDREW is very willing to bend the rules. He's way more into the spirit of the law than the letter of it, but mostly if it will benefit more people than just himself. He's very altruistic and doesn't expect much in return. The best example I can think of for this is when he snuck Byeonghwi into his work-subsidized housing back when they were trainees.

KIYOUNG has the same general spirit of the law viewpoint as Andrew. While he was in college and before he became an idol, he worked for an environmental nonprofit. If not for his friendship with Intak, he would have stayed there and probably trended closer to chaotic good. For now, he spends a lot of time in Jaeseop's company.

LAWFUL NEUTRAL

INTAK has bootlicker and doormat tendencies and for those reasons he's lawful and neutral. In a lot of situations, he could really go either way to the more selfish or more altruistic option. But above all of that, he also leans towards filial piety and respecting authority.

Similar to Intak, EUNSU has most definitely defended billionaires on Twitter before. He's like well just get good at the stock market and you too can pull yourself up by your bootstraps. His neutrality, on the other hand, comes from making some major selfish decisions (becoming an idol) and some major selfless decisions (leaving Fable to inherit his father's priesthood).

NEUTRAL EVIL

One of MINGEUN'S defining character traits has always been his selfishness. He could also be true neutral because he survives no matter what and adapts, improvises, and overcomes, but that implies he also considers the greater good from time to time. I don't really think he does that. He has little respect for authority but he's also fairly consistent to his own morals.

CHAOTIC EVIL

HAKSU has the CEO build. In ten years he could be running a company with 247582 labor violations. On a smaller scale, he's extremely hypocritical. He's very "rules for thee but not for me." And the "I'd sell you to Satan for one corn chip" troubled bird. Also he got his job by stalking Taein and thought very little of it.

I was sent the anonymous message by the second person and o have 0 platform on tumblr who in their right mind in a terrible situation be doing that, when tiktok and Twitter can get you better results

Are you speaking from your vast experience as a person from the global south in the middle of a genocide when you say tiktok and Twitter get better results? Tiktok, which was reorganized to have repressive censors after it was ‘saved’ by Trump? Twitter, now known as X, under control of a right-wing fascist antisemite? Whereas these platforms are actively hostile to mentions Palestine and Palestinians, tumblr is too poorly moderated and understaffed to meaningfully suppress these discussions and campaigns.

“who in their right mind would be doing that in a terrible situation.” Imagine yourself in a living hell. You cannot meaningfully work because your place of business was destroyed. You cannot eat or feed your family because a single chicken costs $150 USD. You are lucky enough to have an eSim and connection to the internet. What else is there to do but send as many messages asking for help as you possible can? You sound like those fools who say stuff like, “why is that homeless man begging instead of pulling himself up by the bootstraps and getting a real job?” You have no knowledge of those person’s material needs or daily reality, and yet you deem their actions inadequate because obviously if you were in such a terrible situation, your pride would have you starve to death in a tent instead of trying every possible avenue of generating enough money to stay alive.

I hate to break it to you but this is tumblr. If you think only popular and well known bloggers should reach out for help, you have attached human worth and dignity to popularity. That’s kinda fucked up not gonna lie my friend. They have a right to ask for help as much as any person here, regardless of how long they’ve been here and how much following they have. You can think it’s bad etiquette, but bad etiquette isn’t a crime.

This screenshot proves nothing more than that, like you, others are calling this user a scammer. Repeated messages is not proof of a scam. It may be appropriately called spam, but that does not make the campaign any more illegitimate than the Democratic Party sending out hundreds of thousands of emails begging for campaign donations. The second post makes a very grave accusation but fails to provide any evidence of their claims (screenshots of DMs, bank transaction history, a named victim of this supposed fraud) in addition to being an outright Zionist and calling the user a terrorist - again, without any evidence of this claim.

Please provide primary sources (such as evidence directly linking this user to financial fraud) if you want me to genuinely reconsider my position.

You’re welcome to block users who you do not want to receive asks from - that’s what the block button is for! You’re welcome to spend your money how you like, and ignore donation requests! No judgement here. But you cannot make these kind of accusations without any proof beyond ‘other people said it’s true’ and expect to be taken seriously or in good faith.

Convenient Money!

Kamala Harris' Presidential Run

This is not the source to get your political news, but just in case you’ve been under Patrick’s rock, current Vice President Kamala Harris is now officially running for President of the United States after Biden’s sudden departure from the race. Since running, Kamala has raised $81M in 24 hours, which are record-setting numbers. When I saw that, I couldn’t help but think the same thought every time this happens: “Where is this money for the less fortunate?”

Money for Crisis, But Not for the Poor

Ukraine gets money, we had money for the stimulus during COVID, and every time this gets brought up, somebody wants to put their economics knowledge to use and explain inflation. I simply don’t think that is an excuse. Being able to raise that much money for one person could literally be done for some urban areas in America. It could supply monthly stipends, provide decent housing for the homeless, not just shelters that are barely hospitable. It could help provide food that isn’t canned and doomed to hell but actual quality foods. Why is it so hard for people to care about the less fortunate and those affected by unlucky economic situations?

Personal Responsibility and Wealth

When I become wealthy, I want y'all to hold me to the fire and make me remember the promises I made to help those who came from similar situations as me. I didn’t grow up the worst, but like most people born in urban communities, I experienced some setbacks. I know what instability feels and looks like. I know what it’s like not knowing where your next meal is going to come from, living check to check, being carless, taking two steps forward and one step back. I just know how it feels to have life give me its ass to kiss despite working EXTREMELY hard to subvert those circumstances.

The Need for Opportunity and Assistance

After all that hard work and strapping up them damn bootstraps, people simply need opportunity and assistance, a financial head start similar to what children of the wealthy are provided with. I also wonder, when stories like these surface, do the people donating ever think, “Man, we gave our money pretty easily to this. Maybe we can actually help a community out.”

Challenges of Implementing Change

Then, when people actually commit to making actual change, the people they are helping get engulfed with jealousy, which is triggered by perpetual lack. They don’t even know how to handle someone from a similar background acting as a benevolent figure. In other words, people are haters, and it's messed up out here.

Deserving a Decent Life

Nonetheless, everyone on Earth still deserves to live a decent, humane life. Not everyone has to be in Range Rovers or wear vintage Chanel that CoCo never even had; people just deserve to experience some of the wealth that many of the elites hoard. Sure, you worked hard for your money; it’s your choice to do whatever you want with it. However, at certain moments, the government and institutions alike should let morality kick in and do what it takes to save people from desolate poverty, no matter the cost.

coding c🌟mms

slots taken: 2/3

helloooo so i've had an itch to code some stuff lately (and build my portfolio), but i don't want to work on my personal site, so i'm offering my coding skills to the general public!!! ^__^ i can code neocities pages, tumblr themes (a bit rusty) + pages, toyhouse/bootstrap stuff in general, etc...!!! i can also just offer code help/tips/polishing.

i'm crossposting this from twitter, so some of my slots are taken already, but please don't let that discourage you!! ;w; i will update this with current slots and such. right now things are open!

here are some examples of pages i have coded.

if interested, please send me an ask or dm me!!! i will discuss further details with you. i am very flexible budget wise, let's come up with something together!!

i hope to work with you, thank you for looking!!!

ps - a live version of my own site is here, if you want to look around!!!

[roomeight]

Today I realized that Dave Rowntree blocked me on my public twt account. I made maybe 2 or 3 tweets @ ing him back in Nov 2022 that were ignored, so this block is fairly recent - probably the last few months ~when Blur started touring.

I find this upsetting because I wasn't incessantly tagging Dave. I rarely use that acct. Rather, him blocking me blocks those tweets showing up with his name, Blur's name, or Eleven Management's name in twitter search. What that infers is that the band knows and are actively trying to hide mentions of the Graham Coxon allegations during Blur touring.

Please stop supporting Blur.

They are not feminists. They do not care that women came forward with allegations of abuse from Graham Coxon. Dave actively avoided allegations questions on reddit AMA and is blocking these tweets. His partner emailed minors to tell them Essy was a jilted lover. Eleven Management still, ignores everything to celebrate selling records and have "women employee spotlights." I ask myself if this is the same band I loved and supported for years and I am shocked by their actual behavior/ignoring very serious allegations. Dave's partner cares more about having a parasocial relationship with the super fans than actually listening to the ones sounding an alarm.

I went through my Blur shirts tonight and I'm selling them off. I'm done. I'm so disappointed. I'm embarrassed. Even setting aside that this whole record was bootstrapped by Damon and monetized by the band it's really...idk. These are people you are giving money to, people who find abuse allegations about a fellow band member worth suppressing. Remember that.

[so-much-for-subtlety]

Despite how stupid I think the Friend AI chat necklace is I feel so sorry for this guy because he's really getting trashed on twitter.

He was only 17 in 2020 when he got sort of famous in tech circles for creating the first covid case data aggregator (it was an impressive project!) and since then he's done work with such good intentions like a project to help match Ukraine refugees with host families in neighboring countries.

Getting involved in the Silicone Vally VC reality distortion bubble is really going to mess him up.

The crazy thing is that even when this AI product is a flop and the company goes bankrupt it will actually not be bad for him, a little bootstrapped/self financed startup flopping is an embarrassment, but raising $2.5M and launching an AI hardware startup that then flops is actually (in SV) a huge success and will probably open up great opportunities for him.

I don't hate him (don't know him, but he's probably a cool guy) but I HATE the system.

[skinsort]

Look, you don't have to do everything in code from scratch. It's fine to use generators to make your grid layout, or use scss to css converters to keep your stylesheets neater. As long as people have put a tool out there for the public to use, take free and full advantage. Most of the ethos in actual coding circles is in favor of open source- we none of us are doing anything truly original, unless we're writing a new language or framework from the ground up, which VERY few do. Even then, people want their tools to be used, and that's why they include examples, working sites, documentation, sometimes whole startup tools that will get you running a page in two commands. What matters on all sites it the actual CONTENT you put on a webpage, which is why all the most successful companies in the internet age rest on the foundation of what other people populate their sites with. netflix is nothing without creative film and television output, youtube is nothing without content creators, twitter, tiktok, facebook. even amazon doesn't mean anything if manufacturers don't sell their products there. All these sites are just wireframes for what YOU put on there. Do not shake in your boots about using freely disseminated code on the internet- stack overflow, open source repositories, design frameworks like bootstrap, material ui, free font packs, tutorials on code education websites, etc. Go, use it. People share these things with the intent of it all acting as a shortcut, usually without expectation of credit. They know that other people can figure this stuff out on their own eventually, their intent is to HELP. If a resource is open source, if a tool is available to the public, if a stranger answers a question on a coding help forum, I promise you. You can use it. There is no glory in making coding harder for yourself. Stand on the shoulders of coders who came before you. They wouldn't have put themselves there if they didn't want you to.

[white-collar-cannibal]

so much potential in the reading of hetch as controlled to some extent by showfall. literally he's someone who doesn't view himself as a cast member but as a temporarily embarassed founder. he's an allegory for the individualist ideal of the personal carbon footprint. he's a blue checkmark twitter user. he's a working class pinkerton. he's trying so so hard to pull himself up by his own bootstraps into the higher echelons of showfall but he'll always be just another tool for them. in the same way that gl!ranboo was given just enough free will to be culpable for their actions and crushed by guilt for it, hetch is given just enough freedom from the script to believe that showfall will actually let him go if he does what they say. showfall knows how to give someone just enough of what they want that they'll be on showfall's hook forever.

[batsarebetterthanpeople]

!!! This is about fundraising online generally not about anything specific !!!

Like I get becoming cynical because you're in crisis but there's a lot of reasons people don't reblog individual fundraisers and there's a lot of reasons a fundraiser can stagnate and to be honest the main one is because people who fundraise on Tumblr are begging a bunch of broke people to give them 10$. Like the sheer number of "please help me I'm being evicted" posts on here before October was staggering and I do think that a lot of them were bots but I'm certain many of them were legitimate. If I had a bot and I was going to put out an e begging scam onto a website I would beg on Twitter. That tells you something about the class makeup of this website compared to others. I'm not saying don't fundraise on Tumblr. Tumblr users are a lot more conscious of social justice than Twitter or Instagram users and are less likely to tell you to bootstraps. But you have to understand that's sometimes it's not because you didn't have enough click bait in your post, sometimes its just because people have already reblogged a bunch of other fundraisers today and they don't have any money to give you

GH thoughts

The trafficking storyline with Felicia and Carly was such white feminist saviorism. In the end Felicia and Carly get all the credit for the rescue instead of the person deciding to rescue themselves.

The writers really believe that once a person get asylum, there's a happily ever after S/ because in the US everyone can totally pull themselves by their bootstraps, particularly if they don't have job experience, and therapy and housing is totally easy to get.

Anyway follow Sabra Boyd in Twitter, I learned a lot about trafficking from her.

Decriminalize sex work! Legalization only benefits capitalism.

[lesbiancharliedalton]

ok sorry much like my dps phase which is much more serious and all-encompassing and genuine, once a year i also start thinking about the musical annie for some reason which i hate aside from the villains. and i have to say i'm confused by the moral of the story. like the guy who made the original comic strip was like a severe nutjob i know he would have had the most INSANE twitter of all time like he would be even crazier than the dilbert guy. he was like insanely anti-FDR and a complete right-wing nutjob who killed off oliver warbucks at some point bc he said the american dream was dead because of what FDR was doing to the country ahhfhdshfdshhfsdhhs which is so fucking funny but ANYWAY.

i'm confused as to what the message is supposed to be bc his deal is that like. warbucks was rich because he EARNED all his money he was the ultimate bootstrap guy he made all of his money through HARD WORK and his BUSINESS ACUMEN and ended up hoarding billions of dollars during the great depression which is just proof that the free market works and he definitely is in the right for hoarding his cash whatever anyway not gonna get into this right now.

but anyway. so like ok. he's good bc he earned his wealth through Hard Work and Dedication and he pulled himself up by his bootstraps or whatever. miss hannigan lily and rooster are bad because they want to take the easy way out. but then where does annie come into this. literally all she did was get randomly chosen. she didn't fucking work hard. she did nothing she's fucking 10. but yet we're supposed to think that she earned all of this somehow even though she didn't do anything. fuck them all for real
