Master doc that contains different resources and support for many countries including Palestine, Congo, Haiti, Hawai’i, etc ((op is underneath the link))

[ID: Tweet by Nanu's eyebrows 🇹🇹❤️🔱… @ Seaweedlagoon which reads: "I'd appreciate if you guys would spread around my master document that not only contains support for Palestine but other countries as well, I'm updating it with resources for Puerto Rico, Lebanon and Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow!" With a link to the above doc/End ID]

know what? am actually gonna pin this. this is too good

Important Addition:

The Twit OP is missing a few pieces to this claim, which makes it come off as fearmongering (Not going after OP and saying this was their intent. They could likely just be uninformed and that's okay!) Also thank you to the person in the comments finding sources so I can do more research!

Flock will not access your personal data without your consent. It is ultimately the customer's choice to share their data with ICE and law enforcement. ICE cannot tap into Flock and use it as a way to track people down.

However

Flock, unlike Ring, is widely used by businesses, traffic surveillance, security, and much more. Essentially, it is standardized. The go to. This means that a local business owner, corrupt law enforcer, etc can, with their own consent, give their personal data to ICE or other corrupt groups.

Your personal Flock or Ring camera will not be tapped into (You are safe to continue using it to catch porch pirates, lol) unless you consent to it happening. Given how wildly used they are in public spaces, it is wise to stay informed of your town leader(s), local law enforcement's, business owners, etc opinions on immigrants. If you know they are negative views, avoid those businesses, public spaces, and stay aware of what roads, traffic lights, and intersections use Flock so you can avoid that area or inform your immigrant friends to avoid it.

Flock is not the root problem, please don't attack them. It is the people that use their products with ill intent. It runs much deeper.

Articles Flock has posted explaining this:

Does Flock Support ICE?

Please do research and don't believe everything you see! A lot of people are uninformed, and that is okay. Instead of going after them for their lack of knowledge, why not educate them? Thats what I am trying to do here.

ICE is coming to a city near you: things you should know from a tumblrina on the ground in the twin cities

i know i am usually pretty hehe haha on this app and here to generally mess around and have fun about television however, the circumstances of the last few weeks in my city and state have been truly so dire that it feels impossible to even pretend like that is an option right now. and i like to help so here is what i know:

yesterday, january 12th, border patrol commander greg bovino gave a very weird interview to the minnesota CBS affiliate WCCO, in which he lied repeatedly but importantly noted that once they "[get] bad things off the streets, we're off to the next city." we have seen increased immigration enforcement since day 1 of the new trump administration with many cities pushing back against operations already but, as what has been highly reported, nothing as large as the scale of the current operation in MN. plus with the pushback they have received here, these freak individuals will certainly have new motivation to incite violence wherever they go. use this as a little cheat sheet to prepare yourself for when it is your turn or, to jump in to the action rn and help out our immigrant communities in MN.

WHAT MN IS DOING TO PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORS

notes for VULNERABLE/UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE and their families

other general notes: they're arresting literally anyone in MN, citizen or not. they're harassing kids at school (minneapolis schools have allowed for children to learn from home until february 12th). they're arresting people at work. it does not matter. a lot of people here are carrying their passports and other documentation to avoid this. you don't have to give anyone your identification even when asked but unfortunately many who refuse have been met with violence. they're going into hospitals, homes, schools, businesses and they don't have warrants. of course know your rights but be aware they really don't give a fuck. they're arresting first and asking questions later.

most importantly people working for ICE and border patrol have something deeply wrong with them. they're disgusting, immoral people whose "work" will be a stain on their lives and this country until the end of time. and i can not stress this enough, they are so fucking stupid. they are not stronger than us. they are not smarter than us. they are not more righteous or justified in any of their actions and eventually the day will come that their most prized leader turns on them, dies, or both. they will never be forgiven.

with that i leave you with two videos of agents eating shit on the ice that i can't stop watching. fucking pussies.

love ya. be safe

updates from my mutual

internet friends are so funny bro. here are some fuckers who know more about me than my mother. their names? well this one's no eyed joe, that one's takeout container, that one's moo, this one's named after several hit video game characters, that one is soup and so is that other one, here are a couple named after several thousand year old stories. that one's scammer. that one's volcano residue and here's fungus and rodent and there's podcast character and we can't forget the birds. this one says he's not named after a supernatural character but there's no evidence to support that. here's vegetables and arson. i love them all very dearly. oh yeah and they're all queer

My husband, an electrician, told me I have to reblog this.

For clarification's sake, is this true everywhere? I ask because I know that different countries have different quality home electricity provision; American home electricity Ain't Great compared with most of Europe, for example. In Wales I have never heard of this being a Thing, but our electricity comes in 240V flavour, so possibly the higher current naturally avoids this issue?

My British husband (not an electrician but electrician-adjacent) says yes this is true in the UK as well - anything that uses a lot of power should be plugged directly into the wall rather than an extension lead

Good to know, thank you!

PLUEY!!! my first time drawing him, he's so fun to draw :3

Drawn in the same game as my Tenna drawing yippee

I think it's important to share that for the past couple of days, I've been spending my mornings getting up around 6am for 'Breakfasts with Billy'. Billy is a severely undersocialized & potentially previously abused kitten I've been fostering for the past 3 months; he's my own cat Tobin's brother, but was extremely antisocial compared to his siblings, and couldn't just be immediately rehomed. BUT, Billy loves other cats, so we've been letting the Grubs (technically his nieces and nephews) come and eat breakfast with him. He's a huge fan of this, and after watching how much the Grubs enjoy people, he's decided he does enjoy being petted & spending time with me, just in limited doses for the moment. anyway, I have no photos of Billy Breakfast because I've never thought to take any in my usual haggard state, but here's a visual representation:

His expressions are Concerned and Concerned (Silly Style)

Billy Breakfast in the real world

"that's right, your majesty! You are in dire need of a new freezer... Do not concern yourself with the large cardboard container in which it shall be delivered! Just let your lowly advisor take care of that..."

Aborted Descartes voice: I would've thought...if I was.

for the people who believe that when we say "american imperialism" we mean vietnam and iraq and thats the whole of it. most of these were massively devastating btw. and the military interventions are only a fraction of all that they have done and continue to do regardless of who is president

and not to mention all the playthroughs. The unnecessary feelings reaction compilations never end.

If I had a nickel for every time a random person picked up ace attorney with no expectations and saw wrightworth I would have enough money to buy capcom and make 100% wrightworth canon.

i found my switch

“She was a woman who pretended to be a man to escape oppression.” and it’s someone who lived his life as a man and even his grave has his chosen name on it and bro even said “don’t you dare look at my body post mortem” but of course. Put him in your “women in history” books. Fucking hell.

my fav is amelio robles avila who killed two dudes trying to forcibly transvestigate him and threatened anyone who misgendered him with a gun. i find that stuff about him tends to misgender less than other historical figures who aren't known for threatening to shoot people.

interesting, that's all im saying.

He was also noted to shoot with his right hand while smoking a cigar with this left and that is so fucking metal to me.

Like all he did was aura farm.

I also noticed how even the official Mexican government acknowledges him as a man, something that the American government seems unable to do with our own veterans.
