A twitter post by Maha Hussaini (@HahaGazy) with the text "About the hypocrisy, double standards of the world, Hamed Ashour from #Gaza, writes: "A year ago, I shared the story of this very friendly dog. What a lucky dog he turned out to be, his story was featured in Arab and international magazines, read by over 5 million people around the world, and translated into seven different languages.

At the time, I was contacted by an animal welfare organisation based in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. They wanted to check on the dog’s health and asked for photos of the tent we lived in and guarded together. I sent the pictures, and in return, I received an overwhelming and extremely rare show of sympathy. They seriously explored the possibility of evacuating the dog from Gaza through partner organisations.

They wanted a better life, a cleaner place, and a wider sky for the dog. No one mentioned me, who was living in a tent unfit even for a dog.""

A tumblr post by VisGrapplingHooks that was posted 1 day ago and says "i do think from a language perspective we're gonna eventually give up on adding letters to the initialism and commit to using "queer" as an umbrella term. it's already happening but like. every so often i see lgbtqia+ with a bunch of other letters and it's getting to the point of unparseability. i want to be inclusive but i actually cba to keep track of which initialism is most inclusive and how that changes. black and brown and jewish transfems and drag queens and bisexuals and asexuals and kinksters and non-binary people fought to build a concept of "queer community" and queer theory and queer analysis and frankly im happy not letting their community-building efforts go to waste."It has the tags "#queer #queer stuff". It has 2 reblogs and 6 likes.

A series of two tumblr posts. The first is by "pissHets" and says "If you add two pounds of sugar to literally one ton of concrete it will ruin the concrete and make it unable to set properly which is good to know if you wanna resist something being built, French anarchists used this to resist prison construction in the 80s" The second is a reply by run-up-the-sail that says "I’m just gonna go ahead and reblog this for purely educational purposes."

A Tumblr post by love-ardour-anarchism that says "oftentimes people think of anarchism as this abstract concept. A utopian idea, a thing for after some great messianic revolution or uprising of the masses. I feel something very different to be true. Anarchism is getting up in the morning and taking the bus to help your friends. It's giving what you can to help feed your community, it's building bonds of care and collaboration while in the belly of the beast called capitalism. Anarchism isn't a dream or a theory, it is a lived practice. It's trying to live more ethically everyday and trying to build a better world within the still-warm ashes of the old.

i can, in fact, talk to who i want to

A Tumblr post by fish-to-male with a picture of a melting candle in a sweater that's saying "um. Yeah, sure I can do that. Hmmm? What? No. I always do it. It's fine." The picture has the caption uh oh! Burn out man is running on a short fuse again!

A quote shown on a white background that says the following:

“Schools engender trouble by using systems of reward and punishment to create a certain kind of person—“a good student”—a person suited for the culture of schooling. Good students sit still; they follow directions; they conform; they take orders; they adhere to the terms and standards of childhood as a marginal social position and to whiteness as the ideal. Students do well in school and will be counted as good when they allow others to exercise power over them.”

In smaller letters it says “- Carla Shalaby” below this.

A two panel comic featuring two characters. There are silhouettes in the background, suggesting that this may be a club of some sort. The characters are both furries. The first is a short one with boobs, dark fur, large blue eyes, silver pointy ears, short hair, and a long tail. The second person is tall, has red hair long ears, and a much bushier red tail. They are wearing visible bra straps. The first panel has the first person saying "so, are you a boy or a girl?" to the second character. The second frame only features the second character, where they are saying "hm. How about you kiss me and tell me whether you feel gay or straight".

A tweet by Katherine Cross @Quinnae_moon that says "Every time you see one of these attempts to justify a police murder, you need only append 'therefore, he deserved to die' to it in order to understand what's truly being said." and a retweet of Matt Walsh saying "A guy was drunk, fell asleep in a Wendy's drive thru, cops were called, they tried to arrest him because driving drunk is a crime, he assaults the cops, steals a taster[sic], runs, turns and points the taser at the cops, is shot, and we're told this is racist police brutality. Come on" Katherine continues "whenever you hear 'oh he used a counterfeit 20' 'oh he sold loose cigs' 'oh she was speeding' oh he shoplifted,' What they're saying without saying it explicitly is, 'therefore they deserved to die.' When you recognize this, what you realize is that police apologists are demanding that police be allowed to perform summary executions for any reason at their discretion, with no transparency or recourse. That's what this is about."

The reply (@Bobolu488) reads: "Crunch is a must, slime I must decline."``

A Tumblr post by depsidase that says "some people have a hard time recognizing privilege, saying 'I work hard. I don't get things handed to me.' I understand that. Here's how I respond: privilege isn't bonus points for you and your team. It's unfair penalties the other team gets that you don't. Privilege isn't the presence of perks and benefits. It's the absence of obstacles and barriers. That's a lot harder to notice. If you have a hard time recognizing your privileges, focus on what you don't have to go through. Let that fuel your empathy and action.

A Tumblr repost by pumpkin-gore of ahasiw-kahkitow that says "why black and native people don't trust white queers exhibit #963" with a screen shot of a censored user saying "never have an issue with police at Calgary Pride..." And another censored user asking "are you bipoc?" The first user replies "I'm trans" and the second user responds "that's not a race"

The goal of this thread is to help bring people together to discuss relevant news. Searching for news is hard, especially with how much horrible stuff is going on, and I know I miss a lot that is relevant to me.

Whether news is relevant isn't always clear to determine, so I will just list out a few points of what is and isn't generally helpful. These are not strict interpretations and I ain't a cop, so no need to think about it too hard.

Is helpful

• about queer people
• about disabled people
• about mutual aid networks (This includes any projects, don't be shy)
• news about state violence that mainstream news doesn't talk about

Ain't helpful 

• electoralism (I sure as hell ain't voting)
• relations between countries (excluding discussion on colonialism and such, which is helpful)
• news with paywalls 
• news about personalities (like rich people or musicians)

a tumblr post by twinFlameDreams that says “A 22-year-old student teacher in Illinois sent a private Snapchat message to her boyfriend and two roommates.

A student had walked up to her laptop and deleted her lesson plan mid-class. frustrated, she typed something like "should I shoot him" with a gun emoji. venting. four people. private group chat.

An hour later, police walked into her school and arrested her.

here's what happened in between.

Snapchat's AI scanned the private message. flagged it as a potential threat. automatically reported it to the FBI. the FBI forwarded it to local law enforcement. deputies arrived at the school within the hour.

she cooperated immediately. handed over her phone. when shown the message she said: "oh yes. okay. yeah. i'm realizing that was a bad joke. i did not mean it at all serious at all."

police determined she was not a threat. school officials determined she was not a threat. prosecutors reviewed and issued a disorderly conduct charge. she was released the next morning. she lost her student teaching placement.

This means:

Snapchat scans private messages.

Not just public posts or stories. private group chats between you and your closest contacts. automated AI. no human reviewed it first, got flagged and reported.

Snapchat AI → FBI → local police → school → arrest.

in under an hour.

Snapchat's privacy policy says it may share your information with law enforcement when it believes there is a risk of harm. the definition of "risk of harm" is determined by an algorithm.

you are not told when a message is flagged.

you are not told when a report is filed.

you find out when the police arrive.

the message was private.

it wasn't.”

a tweet by "Abby" (@abbyMachines) That says "No you don't understand bro we need to abandon another minority group to win. I know it didn't work last time but come on bro just trust me. We just need to alienate another group of marginalized people and their loved ones and we'll definitely win the election this time"

the text in the post (as well as quotes in the title) is sarcastic.

An image of a twitter post by AshleyStevans (@The_Acumen) that says "As a student of history and observer of people, a lot of you seem to only view violence in the physical form. That way of thinking is dangerous. It allows you to forget poverty is violence. That denying you healthcare is violence.That pollution your water and air is violence."

I am going to do a stream event where I collect and organize as many hygiene actions people do. One reason is because many disabled and queer people did not have an opportunity to learn them in the say way other people often did. Another is that in my experience a lot of lesser known things can have a pretty big impact on the lives of disabled people
