i don't know what's going on lately with people going "oooh maybe chinese state censorship is a good idea oooooh" but like, they keep sending BL (boys' love, also known as danmei, basically equivalent to yaoi) webnovel authors to prison, dude. this is far from the biggest problem with the CCP, to be clear. but they very much are sending BL webnovel authors to prison for selling webnovels with gay sex in them. it's such a fundamentally unserious take --- it's one thing if you have zero exposure to the chinese-language internet, and you're posting Takes based on rumors of rumors of party propaganda that it is Healthy for Youths to never accidentally run across Bad Content (such as a webnovel with gay sex in it), but if you brand yourself as A China Watcher or like your whole thing is blogging about china and you're popping up with "oh i think the Great Firewall might be good" i think you should have to tithe all your substack revenue to BL webnovel authors who have been imprisoned for writing BL webnovels.

Alpha News, our local fascist outlet that "leaked" Jonathan Ross's video of him murdering Renee Good, which also pushed George Floyd conspiracy theories, with an anchor married to loathsome fascist police union boss Bob Kroll (Liz Collin), has set up another doxx line, this time for ICE observers.
WE NEED THEM TO BE OVERWHELMED WITH USELESS INFORMATION.
Please help us! We are under occupation!
Their post about it:
This is something you can do 100% remotely that is VERY HELPFUL to stop observers from being intimidated out of doing this vital work. It is not an exaggeration to say spamming this line will save lives: the more observers we have, the fewer people ICE can abduct, abuse, murder, and send to concentration camps.
PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE.
FYI, the page was apparently down for a while but it's back up, however, when I try to submit a tip (with a photo of Jan 6ers beating an officer), I keep getting "There was a problem with your submission. Please review the fields below." even though I've filled out all required fields. So idk if it's actually accepting anything right now or not. (3:40pm EST, Jan 14)
siphonophores will never not freak me out. stop doing that its SCARY but also please don't ever stop doing that you ethereal marine cryptid
Ya'll forgot my favourite one
Trevor Dubois, an indigenous man who was in the hospital for chemo following a brain cancer diagnosis, was murdered by Saskatoon hospital security via. forceful restraint on Friday over a plastic lighter that police are publicly calling an “imitation firearm”. The cops are now trying to make it seem like Trevor had methamphetamines and drug paraphernalia in the hospital room with him after security murdered him to justify what took place.
here’s the saskatchewan health authority’s most recent statement regarding the incident. there’s a lot of talk but nothing of substance is being said. his family just wants answers and yet they haven’t even been told his time of death. his family also believes that the “imitation firearm” in question is a bright pink and green cigarette holder/lighter, but police refuse to release a photo of it.
according to those who knew him, he was a kind person who always went out of his way to help the less fortunate. he was seeking certification as a social worker and was heavily involved in his community. his family also says that he was against anything that has the potential to cause harm to people.
lastly, here is a quote from his brother, ryan (from this aptn article):
god I wish I had a pair of menacing black gauntlets with really sharp fingertip claws I bet it feels good as fuck to have your hands resting palm-down on a surface and then scratch some deep fucking gashes into it as you clench your hand a little closer to a fist when your evil minion delivers some bad news to you
