This Is Evil To The Point Of Comedy.

really fucking insane that ICE is arresting natives and shaving their heads while theyre detained but every conversation i see/hear about it both irl and online is just this terminally non-native cryptolib attitude of "haha where are they gonna deport native americans to? trump is so dumb 😏" i am begging you for the love of fucking god to cut the useless checkmate gotcha jokes for once in your god damn life, you cannot possibly be this stupid and believe this is really about deportation, this is about the ethnic cleansing of indigenous people that has been going on for the past 500 years and never ended, you cannot really be this stupid but i know the answer is that you are. please get a grip.

You have blood on your hands

Burn your fucking Harry Potter merch or be burned with it.

I'm fucking livid.

‎‏I am manal from Gaza. I am 30 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to support my family of 3 members, me, my husband, and my young daughter. We are living in very difficult circumstances after the occupation launched the war on Gaza. We were displaced from our home and live in a tent that does not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer. We live in extreme poverty due to the circumstances and there is no income. We are no longer able to provide the necessary supplies of food, drink and others due to the insane rise in prices. Thus, my source of livelihood was destroyed and we live in very difficult conditions in tents. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in the tents without food, medicine, or drinking clean water, along with the oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, and daily traumas that everything causes. Around us and unable to care for our families, the fear of danger, disease and death never leaves us

Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and I humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my little girl, by getting us out of Gaza to Egypt and building a new life outside Gaza or helping us get money to buy the necessities we might be able to afford. Asking for help is not easy, but we had no choice because we want to survive and strive to rebuild our shattered lives. We are very grateful for any help you can offer, no matter how small, because your help will go a long way in alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.

side bar if yall r on 'me/tas' internet its time to drop the jokes abt how shit like pew pew and unalive ect is 'silly/stupid/dramatic' when it was a linguistic shift resulting from Black creators on TikTok primarily getting shadow banned for talking abt literally anything vaguely political (so often their own lived exp bc we live in a fkn society)

doing what we can to get the Actual Message message through is a win yall, and if self censoring results in ridiculous words being used in place of things like 'gun' 'murder' ect, then I'd rather that than the message never getting out in the first place.

(not to mention a Lot of the stuff having to be censored to make sure it made it past Algo was shit like white to 'palm coloured' and shit like that. pls have some fkn respect for the workarounds is all im saying)

a lot of times the difference between messy art and clean art or imperfect art and perfect art or bad art and good art is that the former actually gets finished and the latter stays an idea you punish yourself with

have you ever lived in a town (or area you see a lot ig) where a popular show/movie was filmed? (i use to live near the town where stranger things was filmed, was jarring to see my hometown in the show)

After I graduated from comp sci with big dreams of working in game dev, the only job I was able to find after a year of unemployment during the lockdowns was as a consultant at an investment banking firm and when I say it was soul-crushing that's not an exaggeration. Not quite on the same level as working on killing machines but I couldn't stand it, went back to school to pursue art.

The kicker? It's easy to get a job with a comp sci degree where I live. The military is understaffed. A STEM degree will get you fast-tracked with bonus pay into a cushy intelligence officer or analyst desk job with a pension, benefits, and if you're still able to sleep at night after a couple years that's not a hard pivot into the private sector.

I've been told by career military folks that I should just enlist when I was broke and desperate for a job, like it was obvious and like that knowledge wasn't already haunting me.

I know what it's like to make the wrong call when faced with that choice and I'm never doing that again, but it's made me reflect a lot on the kinds of compromises the system we live in forces upon us.

god I could be so wealthy if I had no ethics. that's so fucking frustrating. I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I'm not grifting vulnerable idiots on TikTok. I feel like I have the ability to very easily scam people. I could make a killing with AI. but god. I have morals and ethics and so I get to be poor as shit. I hate this fucking world
