I just saw an acquaintance use "👖🛝" in place of the word genocide and. like. at what point are we going to decide that this kind of self-censorship is too degrading to abide anymore.

"grape" "sui-slide" "the panini" I feel like I'm surrounded by Rugrats who overheard the grown ups talking about the news.

This is mean, but when I’m in a safe context to do so, I love pretending I don’t understand what they mean and forcing them to explain in plain language.

It's not mean. You are so normal. If someone uses these terms when speaking to me directly I'm going to end up on the news.

I call this collection of screenshots "idiots of /r/whatsthatbook".

And finally, my go-to example for Tiktokese/ridiculous unnecessary self-censoring:

No joke, go read The Open Veins of Latin America before even trying to send me a political ask. Mandatory reading.

It's a cliché that every Latin American leftist has read it and quotes it, but that's because it's written in such a clear language with undeniable strenght on its facts. It presents the history of Latin America solidly just in the first few pages, and it only gets more engrossing the more it goes on. While it is now a bit outdated in the sense that it was first published in 1971, the historical, social and political issues presented are -in an unfortunate way- still current. It is a relatively short book, passionate and in a clear, poetic language.

Sometimes it's good to return to the basics, and this is THE basic book if you want to understand the effects of imperialism in Latin America, and our struggle for freedom and identity.

Instead of losing your time with half baked twitteroid takes, go read it. Here you go, for free, in Spanish, Portuguese and English:

the thing about disability is it really does sometimes boil down to "wow i wish i could do that" and then you can't. and it sucks.

accomodations are important but i think they miss the point of this post. sometimes you can't do it. at all. someone needs to do it for you or it will never happen.

"and then you force yourself anyway" folks im starting to think some of you really do not understand what it means to not be able to do things.

This is Gaza, where not a single house remains standing. We are without shelter, without food, without water. We are dying. We are being bombed every day. We are being shot at in the middle of Gaza City. Where is the ceasefire agreement? Where is the humanity? They are shooting at and targeting people who go to get some firewood for their families to cook. We are truly oppressed.

He will never recover from this.

i'm not going to sit here and call anyone a bad person for not sharing fundraisers on their tumblr blog because i don't think anyone is obligated even a little bit to use social media as the avenue by which they attempt to do good in the world. but something i do think is incredibly crass is the amount of blogs i see who insist on having long bios or pinned posts telling you they will never ever do this and block anyone who asks them to. you know you can just keep your mouth shut and quietly proceed with your regular blogging right? you don't have to announce you are going to block anyone who asks you to help. you don't need to talk about how really you just have too many problems to be able to be concerned with the suffering of people objectively much worse off than you. you don't need to subtly or not-so-subtly perpetuate the unsubstantiated dehumanizing racist talking points about how these people are probably all spambots anyway. you can just choose not to make yourself look like a complete asshole yknow?

I don’t think I have anything in my blog about this so I’m not really your target? But are these not just spam bots which actually don’t have any real backing? These are all in my dms in like the last week. Some of them are identical messages.

IMO, the real work gets done by established aid organizations. The ones Israel is blocking from access. This stuff won’t do anyone any good.

"But are these not just spam bots which actually don’t have any real backing?" why don't we take a few minutes to actually look into this and see if we can find out instead of just guessing. All of the information I am about to provide is immediately very accessible within the bio and first post or two on the first page of each account.

the first one links to Abdullah Salem Abdullah's campaign and claims to be vetted by the gazavetters team. the gazavetters are a grassroots team here on tumblr who have been assisting to verify the legitimacy of peoples' campaigns for quite awhile now. you can see in their pinned post, written in both arabic and english, what exactly their standards and process are for verifying a campaign and decide if it's rigorous enough for you. Abdullah's post says his post is number #641 - let's go see what that number says in the gazevetters master spreadsheet

it looks like this campaign is no longer being backed by the gazavetters due to spam behavior.

that next message is for Shaima's campaign, which is #62.

i believe this means they have not heard back when asking for updates regarding this campaign, which tracks with the account not having been updated since the end of september. The fourth account is also one of Shaima's providing the same information and linking to the same campaign, and, similarly, has not posted since the end of september.

The third one is Mohammed Yousef's campaign. This one is #88

They give it the okay. The campaign linked on the blog matches the link on the spreadsheet. This campaign was also shared by 90-ghost, a longterm tumblr user who is a gazan palestinian who has been helping platform fundraisers since the beginning of the war. there's no reason to believe this is not a legitimate fundraiser.

So that's where this stands: one spammer, one ambiguous situation, and one very real person asking for help.

If you think about the fact that most of these people are communicating in a language they might either speak without full fluency or not at all, the fact that some of them are using identical templates might start to make a big more sense.

Now, here's a question I have for you: If the established aid organizations are having their entry blocked by Israel, how are they getting "real" work done? These things can not both be true at the same time. You don't have to give your money to anyone you don't want to, but if you're going to call people bots you might want to do the smallest amount of due diligence before making that claim publicly. You don't have to speak on a subject you have done zero work to acquire information about. Like i said before, you're free to just keep your mouth shut and quietly proceed with your regular blogging.

If you would prefer to donate to aid groups rather than individual families, here are some legitimate operations doing important work that could use your support.

The Sameer Project

Dahnoun Mutual Aid

Mona's Initiatives

Hussein Team

every ICE agent could die right now and they'd all deserve it
