Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.
This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.
i had to do it @brainrotdotorg
@elizabethrzg approved and made with all my love.

hyperfixation valentine cards but i don't know if i did it right
So, there's apparently research coming out now about microplastics being found in people's bloodstreams and the possible negative effects of that and I feel the need to get out ahead of the wave of corporate sponsored "be sure to recycle your bottles!" or "ban glitter!" campaigns and remind everyone: It's fishing nets. It's fishing nets. It is overwhelming fishing nets It always has been fishing nets. Unless regulations are changed, it will continue to be fishing nets. The plastic in the ocean in largely discarded nets from industrial fishing. The microplastics are the result of these nets breaking down. The "trash islands" are also, you guessed it. Mostly fishing nets and other discarded fishing industry equipment. Do not allow them to continue to twist the story. Do not come after disabled people who require single use plastics. Do not come after people using glitter in art projects and makeup. These things make up a negligible amount of the issue compared to corporate waste, specifically in the fishing industry. Do not let them shift the blame to the individual so they can continue to destroy the planet and our bodies without regulation.
I am sick and tired of people saying the new Harry Potter game is "Just a video game" and that "You are being antisemitic for seeing Jewish people as goblins" (we fucking dont, but to you people dogwhistles dont exist, so)
So Im gonna fucking tell you how its NOT just a video game, and that dogwhistles are a thing that exist, and you need to start seeing them if you want to be an ally to Jewish people.
I think the most obvious thing to people is the use of a Shofar as a "Goblin Artifact." For those who dont know, Shofars are a Jewish religious instrument :)!!!!
Wow!!! That doesnt look good! What does that artifact look like to you...?
Aha!
You see that?
Now, lets get into the less obvious things to you people (that SHOULD be obvious)
In the Harry Potter world, Goblins were depicted as bankers. In the movies, they were depicted with large, hooked noses and pointy ears, with sharp rat like teeth.
"But OP! Thats just what goblins are in fantasy! They are greedy and ugly!" Have you ever considered that old folklore and fairy tales could be antisemitic too? Antisemitism ran in Europe for CENTURIES, not just during WWII.
You know what else is an antisemitic jewish stereotype? Greedy for money, maybe bankers that rule things behind the scenes with big hooked noses, rat like looks, pointy ears and occasionally horns.
How are none of you seeing this.
Not only that, in one of the movies, inside the bank, a symbol that looks suspiciously close to the star of david is used.
Oh but yk..its just a game, I guess, according to y'all.
The game of course has other problems. Its world building is awful, the story is literally just a blood libel (which is also antisemitic), theres not enough content for the $60 its worth unlike other $60 games, and they legit named a trans women character fucking Sirona Ryan. Any money you give to this game will be given to JK Rowling because all of the programmers and developers already recieved their pay. Not only that, but their lead dev is just as awful if not moreso than JK Rowling.
"Its just a game! Look at the transgender people being killed in the streets!"
Maybe you'd be right if it werent for the fact Rowling literally has the status and money to fuck trans people over in the UK. And not only that, you are actively consuming antisemitic content and not caring for your jewish cousins around you because of your want for a nostalgia factor.
So no, Carol, its not just a game.
Buy it or pirate it if you want, but dont be surprised when transgender and jewish people alike dont trust you, because I certainly wont.
it is so incredibly sad to constantly see kids on instagram and tiktok who are younger than my brother have to literally beg for shelter, food, water, medicine, and their right to exist as human beings
i mean, this young girl is only ten years old, yet she is essentially responsible for convincing random people scrolling through instagram that her and her family’s life are worth fighting for
on top of that, their gofundme is not even 10% funded and time is running out, please if you can’t donate, just share
please don’t let this little girl die begging
if you are into bfb/bfdi/inanimate insanity or any sort of object show,,,,
