The Whole Damn State Works For The Feds

🚨🚨🚨

I will not be intimidated. I will not be silenced. I will seek the truth and I will speak it loud and clear. 🗣️📢

Israel is indeed an apartheid state, and is committing genocide against the Palestinian people as we speak.

Hamas did not start this war, because there IS no war. There was, there is, and there will be an occupation, unless we do something about it.

You cannot occupy a land, put people under blockade and expect them to just sit there and comply. Resistance, rebellion, retaliation, and revolution are inevitable.

The oppressed do not want peace, they want freedom. So you either give it back to them, or they snatch it back from you. And that with any means necessary.

Palestinians in the West Bank including kids and women, get bullied, mocked, brutalized, beaten, imprisoned, tortured, evicted from their homes, used as human shields, attacked while they pray in Al Aqsa Mosque, shot dead, and killed by the Israeli forces and armed and unarmed settlers alike.

Palestinians in Gaza are under blockade, they have NOWHERE else to go, they can't do anything without Israel's permission. They get punished for whatever Israel accuses Hamas of doing, they get bombed, they get starved, no water, no electricity, no food, no medical aid whenever Israel is pissed.

And they are refered to as animals on national TV, by Israeli leaders, and mocked by influencers on Social media, no shame, no embarrassment, nothing!

Do NOT talk to me about October 7th, if you're NOT ready to hear about the past 75 years.

Do NOT call us Hamas sympathizers, we are not Hamas sympathizers, we are Pro-Palestinians, we are fighting for freedom, we are standing with the oppressed.

Do NOT call us antisemite (especially not me, I'm an arab, arabs are semite themselves), we do NOT hate the Jews, our fight is not against the Jews. In fact there are many Jews fighting this fight alongside us.

We stand against Zionists.

Educate yourself, read, seek the truth, free yourself from the shackles of western media.

From the river to the sea, Palestine WILL be free. ✌️🇵🇸✊

this tweet has DESTROYED me

i really hate coming out but still want my extended family to know, so my mother took it upon herself to invent the game “guess which one of my kids is gay.”

the rules are simple.

sit down with uncle so-and-so

he says something about gay people in passing

my mom says “there’s a gay person at this table right now. guess which of my kids it is!

he looks frantically between the three of us trying to figure out if she’s joking or not and trying desperately not to offend anyone but also she won’t continue with the conversation unless he makes a guess so he has to make a guess

we all enjoy his discomfort immensely

“Hamas shouldn’t have attacked”

🙃

The Israeli genocide of Palestinians has been ongoing for 70 years.

Hi Jerrod! I'm a college student taking a music appreciation class, and I have to use the musician I talked about on Day 1 for a project, and that so happened to be you, haha. Is there anyone who has inspired you musically for some of your horror work like Kiss Me/Kill me (which happens to be the song I chose cause honestly? A bop). Thank you so much in advance!

Hmm. Honestly, in cases like that one, I don't really have any conscious inspirations aside from the obvious song itself (as I've mentioned in the past, Kiss Me was mainly inspired by hearing the song on the radio and really listening to the lyrics for the first time and thinking "woah what if she keeps asking to be kissed next to increasingly-creepy things" lol). Started with the lyrics, then once I got the vocals back from Juliëtte I just started with "basic cover of the original song, then just see where I can take it".

The previous work "The Boys are Back (to kill you)" was a much more subdued 'remix', in that many elements were a 1:1 recreation (the backing guitar and bass are remade but mostly adhere to the original) or direct sample (that lead guitar riff) that I built up on in a more subtle way - different drums, lil blips and bloops here and there, but more of a cover than a remix in vibes. Kiss Me starts in a similar way, there's some added synths but it's mostly a close following of the original track with minor embellishments. But as part of the bait-and-switch (in that the listener was intended to assume it's the same situation as the previous one, both in terms of the remix style and the vocals being a sentence-mix), the plan was to just keep winging it in a new direction and see what happens.

Like most of my stuff, the rest kinda formed in this real hazy-to-remember bout of extreme productivity and luck. It's kinda like one of those cartoon fights where you just see a dustcloud and the occasional fist - like I'll zone out (or I guess in) into this very intensely-focused session for hours, and emerge having made a ton of progress thinking "I honestly don't remember how I got here". Sadly can't do it on command (hence my usual low output), but in this case I left everything so last-minute that the stress of the Halloween deadline was really propelling me forward, haha.

Come to think of it, is any of this useful at all? Was the project specifically just about inspirations? If so, kinda sucks that I guess I just went "huh, not really", sorry about that. Obvs not trying to claim my work is immaculate and wholly original and incomparable or whatever (it sure ain't), just that any inspirations for this one were more just my own ingrained inspirations and less conscious ones that I could pinpoint and list, yknow?

A lot of people think Boys are Back was inspired by Neil Cicierega. Which I totally get (on multiple levels, both the sentence-mixed mashup PLUS the "creepy old 90's-style computer UI" stuff are SO his bag), but tbh his work wasn't a direct inspiration in this case, it was mostly another accident. Maybe kind of a "man invents Frankenstein 200 years after Mary Shelley" vibe for sure. Though funnily enough it does take a lil conscious inspiration from one of Neil's works in a less-expected way, in that a distant memory of his track "Super Hey Ya" popped into mind while I was partway through the remix and inspired the lil bouncy chip-arps you hear from 0:50 onward. SHY came to mind on account of being what I guess I'd call an "additive remix", in which he took the whole song and put his own additions on top of it, which was only partially the case for TBaB but it was a bit of a similar process (I specifically remember thinking like "ok so I've got this pretty direct cover of the backing track, I don't want to go full capital-R Remix here but let's add some lil embellishments... oh hey, remember Super Hey Ya?").

Is any of this helpful? Sorry I couldn't really answer the question in a very satisfying way.

Daddy im so horny . PLease help me

As someone who has read Homestuck through its entirety and has friends who also did, I can confirm that if it wasn't for the fact that it accidentally became one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) fandoms out there in the early 2010s, it does NOT seem like the kind of thing that would be that profitable, at least not the original.

As someone indifferent to Homestuck I'm amused by the twitter discourse I keep seeing that "it turns out all hussie really cared about was making money" like okay some of what I'm hearing sounds like he was also a bad employer and that's something but they're still emphasizing him being profit driven as the BIG problem and like....did they really think Homestuck of all things was that much deeper, for that matter do they all assume every movie and video game and TV show they consume is baked with love by a little grandma

"Oh the media being biased/silent on Gaza is a conspiracy theory"

I am a literal journalist and this is what happened when I pitched an article to a magazine I write for:

We covered conflict before. We denounced PMs' positions as wrong before. But this is where the editor balks - anything that makes it look even vaguely like we might, possibly, support Gaza. Even if the article itself would not have been an opinion piece, but a news feature about events on the ground.

We have free press, baby! But avoid the matter entirely if you can. It's delicate and depressing, why would you talk about it? Don't rock the boat. Be quiet. You don't need to go there.

Self-censorship is alive and well.
