#BoycottUS
proposal, things I'm pondering, and how to support me in my work:
@odetomedusa
@slimgirlsupreme
I'm convinced my uterus lining regenerates itself every night because there's no way there's anything left after my 2nd day.
@adhdjesse
I love all the things I learn. Whether it's because I'm procrastinating, or if it's for an interesting new hobby, I've learned all sorts of things I never would have if I'd have stuck to the things I needed to do.
Duolingo laid off a huge percentage of their contract translators, and the remaining ones are simply reviewing AI translations to make sure they're 'acceptable'. This is the world we're creating. Removing the humanity from how we learn to connect with humanity.

Related feature: I have also been able to keep scrolling past tweets that generalize a group I belong to when what they're saying doesn't apply to me specifically.
Fuck it. Hey everyone, please give my friends money so they can survive. Yeah this is an idea on my part but I have to ask.
(CF ing folks, drop your links. Everyone else, if you can't/won't give, then RT at *minimum*.)
@RedEyesOpen
I look amazing for having been dead at least 100 years. What's my secret?
As long as we keep the land stolen by our ancestors and oppress the land's rightful stewards, we continue to colonize, thus colonizer is an accurate descriptor.
@boobeebah123
You're proving the point.
Instead of looking at why that might be the case, you attack the person pointing it out.
Yes, white men are dangerous. But deflection doesn't make us more safe to be near. If we want people to stop feeling unsafe around us, we have to stop being unsafe.
@Artists_Ali
That would be amazing. Because it's not just the forgetting, but then the anxiety over I know I "should" be remembering, which makes me forget even harder.
@TheBSnod
"If you truly care about the Palestinian people, you MUST vote for the man providing the bombs killing them in an active, ongoing genocide."
Do you hear how you sound?
This part always bears repeating:
"You should reeeeally start listening to Black, Brown, and Indigenous people whose rights have been violated, ignored, and legislated against for centuries."
To the hwhite liberals squawking about your rights:
We get it. You finally heard about Project 2025 and it’s quite literally all you can think about. You haven’t stopped talking about it. Handmaid’s Tale references, the whole bit.
Weirdly, it wasn’t mentioned by either
@umairh
I used to think I hated people, but I've come to realize I hate this culture, which so many of us embody without thought. Because "that's just how things are." Too many don't question whether we could create healthier culture.
@adipoke2112
The way they said it sounds defensive of Biden though, who is the one currently murdering Palestinians.
The defeatism of "if only there were another way" when we don't have to play that game doesn't help anyone, either.
And ableism to boot.
There's a lot wrong with the OT.

I appeal to all people in the Gulf to boycott US and Israeli goods
We will not hesitate to do everything we can, and we will confront the US aggression, and any aggression will not remain without a response

@Imani_Barbarin
She's not anti-vegan, she's anti "white veganism," the kind that doesn't consider people (and peoples) in other situations that aren't vegan because of access/culture/etc. I am a white disabled vegan and saw nothing from Imani dismissing me.
I'm very rarely shocked about the lengths people will go to to deny antiBlackness but I am really struggling with "well, she's not a real journalist like Motaz" to defend her safety not being prioritized as if she doesn't have a even bigger target BECAUSE of her Blackness.
@gbeyale
HS kids have decorated their caps forever. It's part of the fun of graduation. She absolutely should not have been singled out like that.
When I was in HS, it was almost *expected* that you'd decorate it.
Reminder that even though
@cvspharmacy
website says you don't need an appointment for Novavax, you DO! The individual pharmacies don't stock it & have to order it.
Try calling your local CVS and see if you can schedule your appointment over the phone to save yourself a visit!
@GaytiveB
Meanwhile, I got an inbox full of emails this morning telling me the white supremacists and death-threaters I've reported recently have done nothing wrong.
I 🤬 hate this place.
@christi83353917
First Nations people do not have to prove their worth to you. No human should live in poverty, especially those whose lands and resources have been stolen. They deserve reparations and Land Back.
If this country has anything, it has the audacity. This is truly sickening. People are saying things like “not everything is a distraction.” and “sometimes things are a coincidence.”
And sometimes they’re not.
Sometimes they’re as obviously dystopian as this
#AltTextPalestine
Must watch.
While I know electoral politics won't save us, Claudia was the only candidate I was actually excited for.
But allowing the "mask or don't" attitude puts my life and the lives of everyone I care about at risk.
We deserve better.
This is one of the most important videos I’ve ever made. Stick with me.
This is my message to Claudia De La Cruz from a disability advocate in an uncaring world during an ongoing pandemic.

White people love to be racist when people of color simply point out facts.
If you're not going to learn, keep your racism to yourself.
Please share these! It will really help me with visibility to get support for housing and transportation and then to be able to focus on rest and finding a new neurologist out of state to get my next veeg

proposal is done!
I added the link on my pinned page & link in bio.
There's also a link to the pinned page from the homepage on my website... just in case.
@SureAsMel
@Airbnb
I'm so sorry they're putting you through this.
My sister had a horrible experience in an Air BnB last summer, but she managed to get a refund in fewer reps. Not sure why
@AirbnbHelp
thought worse customer service was a good idea.
I hope you get your refund, in full, soon.
that's why you find a number of citizens that decided to volunteer and join SAF (being the official army) / take part in defending their families and the country against RSF militia by themselves
7. I BEG Y'ALL TO LISTEN TO SUDANESE PEOPLE! TO US! DO YOUR RESEARCH! HERE'S A LIST!
Dear fellow Italian-Americans:
Stop celebrating genocide. There are way better Italians than the rapist and murderer who stumbled upon the Bahamas when he was looking for China back in the 1490’s.
And support some Native folks for Indigenous Peoples Day.
@covidsafenetwrk
Dampen. Place bar of soap inside, folding the sides over it. Secure to your hand using the elastic, doubling up if your hand is too small. Thoroughly scrub free hand with the printed side, ensuring sufficient suds. Rinse.
Repeat above with other hand.
If ur looking to help the people in Sudan & don’t know where to donate,
@mazlynx
compiled a list. These people are just looking to help their families escape a war zone. Please consider making a contribution to as many as you can, even if it’s just $5.
@joemazur3
No, we're not.
Covid kills and disables. You can end up with Long Covid even if your acute infection was mild.
There is nothing "restorative" about a virus that damages your t-cells and leaves you susceptible to other infections.
@TheeCuratedEdit
It is not an internal civil war when foreign actors are on both sides. Please educate yourself before dismissing people in urgent need!
And the ableism was unnecessary.
I am so disgusted at all of the people, systems, and events that have brought us to the point where the majority of the planet screams for the end of a genocide and every last person who can end it ignores us.
I don't know what else to do but keep screaming.
@shellallar
Cishet men are the ones stripping me of my rights, but thanks for pretending to care.
I'm not so grateful that you're spreading your hatred for trans people, or that you're misusing the concept of colonization.
@AlbertaAlan
The big issue Indigenous People have is colonizers. Canadians (& Americans & all colonizers) enable & encourage issues, such as alcohol abuse, while removing ways for Indigenous Peoples to care for themselves & their communities. We also offer harm instead of care in return.
@rootfayth
Have you? Being careful around a deadly virus, and not wanting other people to catch it, is a reasonable and caring thing to do. Why would you ask such a question?
My first infographic is done, I think.

I am so sorry.
I'm angry at all the unnecessary danger everyone's in, all the unnecessary death and worsening of existing conditions.
None of this is okay.
"Your salary is a clear indication of your contribution to society."
False.
Your salary is an indication of your capitalist boss's perception of your contribution to society.
They will never accept your true value.
That's why unions & strikes are so important. Remind them.
@AvaTomboy
@theleldaofzegen
@aphexindividual
1. Saying trans and Black people share a common goal ignores (a) there are Black trans people, so they're not two distinct groups and (b) many white trans people will ignore or harm Black folks without a second thought.
2. Using ableism to defend your racism is also harmful.
@madelinekaz
@Eminem
How do you feel, knowing you're contributing to mass death and disability?
How many people have you maimed or murdered by not masking?
Want to write another fundraising thread. Body is just not in agreement.
So for now I’ll just ask you to please help me live
& pay bills
& have more baby unicorn tears infused into my blood
to save my life.

@Cowboyburnrfone
You're doing this racist thing where you expect free labor from Black people. And being subjected to constant racism isn't "getting your feelings hurt if someone doesn't agree."
A few recent changes, so new pinned:
1. All the DRC bullet points are on the new DRC page with all 3 infographics.
2. Palestine ResistBots are linked in first bullet instead of in gallery.
3. Added RB for Sudan.*
4. Added progress on boycott research.
@CDCDirector
A message from the CDC about preventing this massive wave could have helped reduce the amount of virus circulating.
Luckily, it's not to late to promote wearing a mask and proper ventilation to help reduce the circulation.
@gindaanis
The reactions ...
I've come to expect so little of a lot of people, but they've delivered even less.
I want to be confused and surprised, but I feel like I should know better... and, somehow, I both am and am not confused and surprised.

I'm proud to launch this project today:
An accessible resource for diaspora Palestinians and their allies, committed to developing shared language and understanding about Anti-Palestinian Racism and its manifestations.
This is the first step of many.
Maybe if y'all (and us USians) didn't force the language on everyone, force assimilation, and steal the rest of the world's culture, you wouldn't sound so ridiculous.
But you're complaining about the exact goals of colonization.
I wish people would stop misusing the word genocide. It doesn't help us navigate the COVID pandemic any better & it alienates people who may otherwise be open to taking mitigations.
Also: IT'S NOT GENOCIDE.
@headarrowstdios
Using a stereotype of a Native person = racism.
Using their disembodied head & putting an arrow through it = wish of harm? Glorification of violence?
And you're trying to defend it?
Disgusting.
