If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

if there is one thing i will never get tired of it’s ppl watching the insanity that is glee for the first time

columbia administration is threatening to call in the national guard tonight

my period started this morning and i have to give a group presentation in like 2.5 hours kill me now

was talking to my gf about my fear of dying young for being trans and my mom putting my deadname on my gravestone, and she said "i hope that never happens, but if it does, i will carve your name into your grave myself if i have to." and i think theres something extremely raw about that sentiment and trans community in general. you can kill only our bodies, but you cant kill transsexuality

[ID: Nine screencaps from Taskmaster. The Taskmaster house is shown, with the message, "If you found this FASTEST, choose one contestant to LOSE 5 POINTS." Inside the house, Sue Perkins says regretfully, "Only because I've never met him before, and he's young and beautiful, and he'll get over this - Sam Campbell!" Later, in the same room, Susan Wokoma says, "Do I just choose a name? Erm, Sam Campbell!" Later, in the studio, Greg Davies asks, "Sam, it only feels right I should get your comment on both women turning on you like snakes?" Sam says happily, "Yeah, it's just exciting to know people are talking about me." End ID.]

actually can’t believe netflix didn’t release any s3 news in honor of the two-year anniversary of s1 premiering. the opportunity was right there.

A reminder that no matter what you identify as, we're all evil faggots that groom kids according to conservatives. So no, no one's more or less oppressed, we're equally discriminated against.

It's hard to comprehend large numbers when it involves money. So instead, let's compare it to time.

Imagine that you received $1 every second.

It would take you about 4 hours to receive what a full time minimum wage worker receives in a year.

In 1-2 days, you'd receive an upper middle class yearly salary.

In just under 12 days, you'd be a millionaire.

But it would still take you almost 32 years to be a billionaire.

And to become the richest person in existence, it would take 5-10 millenniums (the exact number fluctuates).

A little wealth inequality is understandable. Some people work twice as hard and it would make sense that they'd have twice as much. Some people may just happen to have skills that society considers more valuable. Some people may be lucky enough to receive a little help from their families. Some people took a risk that happened to pay off.

But if the ratio between a minimum wage worker's full time annual salary and the richest person's net worth is literally the ratio between 4 hours and several millenniums, that can't be caused by hard work, useful skills, or a little luck. That can only be caused by the system being intentionally rigged.

All workers regardless of age deserve a thriving wage.

you know i don’t think we often talk about how difficult it actually is to suddenly realize that a belief you thought was good and moral and correct was actually really fucking toxic. how you have to look at something and go ‘oh shit, oh i fucked up. oh this is going to take probably years at minimum to deprogram from my brain because of all the little ways this shit pervaded the rest of my beliefs’

so. to all the people picking up all the pieces of a recently shattered world-view and trying to figure out what is safe to keep and what has to be thrown away and started over

to all the people having to relearn how to even listen to other people

to all the people putting in the work to do better while struggling with the guilt that comes from finding out you were the asshole

i’m proud of y’all.

it’s hard to admit being wrong and even harder to change in the aftermath. just keep doing the best you can and just know that the effort is appreciated. everyone can change. everyone can do better. keep fighting.

how the hell has it been two years since s1 came out? like genuinely, how? it feels both like a million years ago and yesterday. looking at cast pictures makes me realize how young they all were. like, i’m the same age as some of them when they were filming, and i can’t imagine being thrust into the spotlight like that.

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"
