@The Government Where Are The Fucking Aliens????

something i have noticed lately: as a collective, a lot of gen z are simply getting tired of their phone

granted this doesn’t mean the endless doom scrolling has stopped. but i see a lot more self recognition of how phones have taken away from our ability to live our lives authentically and with variation instead of Hours of Repetitive Scroll. the dopamine may be easier but it doesn’t hit the same

this is good btw. it’s really important that we begin making the distinction between real and virtual life again

“lol why are you following the boobs and ass artist” why do you think I’m following the boobs and ass artist. do you think I go to the grocery store ironically too

fear of god in my heart seeing this notif

He is also Palestinian. I hadn’t seen the video from this angle yet but I suspected from the one I saw that he was targeted based on how directly the cops came at him among many others. Now from this angle you can see the cop point at him directly and then they attack. Fuck STLPD fuck WUPD fuck mayor jones and fuck chancellor Martin

From a friend at the WashU encampment. There was lots of screaming plus there were kids around.

I never want to hear conservatives go on about repressive censorship in China, North Korea, and Iran ever again

To be clear to those unfamiliar: these are the companies that libraries use to lend ebooks.

They are literally cutting off library access to minors.

If you are affected by this or other bans and restrictions in the United States, be aware that the Brooklyn Public Library is offering free digital library cards to anyone age 13-21 nationwide as part of their Books UnBanned initiative:

BOOOOOST

Seattle has joined them:

Mystic Messenger is so crazy one day I'm talking to yoosung about his barista club and few days later he's missing an eye lol wtf

The country of Columbia had the funniest time to do something ever and just did.

this is like the democrat version of when republicans see a long line at the food pantry and are like "this is what america would look like under communism"

I also had a moment of total disconnect with ‘dressing rooms’ and was transported, briefly, into a world where I lived in a thirty bedroom Georgian mansion with a suite of rooms to call my own, and thought ‘dearest, if there are trans people in your dressing room, surely you must have invited them there!’

Completely forgot about clothes shops. Ngl it was a nice moment and I’d like to go back there.

Earlier today Columbia issued shelter in place orders and reportedly told parents to get their kids from campus. ~2 hours ago NYPD moved to retake Hind Hall. CBS livestreamed the event in full, complete with live commentary (like watching a sports game), including reporting that police went in with guns drawn... But later praising their lack of violence, wearing only helmets and not riot gear, and not using chemical weapons. They were praised for being specific in their arrests and telling students to stay inside dorms, despite constant yelling "Shame on you."

WKCR, Columbia's student radio, also had live coverage with 3+ reporters on the ground. They reported smelling the use of teargas inside of the building, as well as at least one student unconscious in front of Hind Hall. They reported everyone, including non protestors, getting swept in arrests.

I'm sharing this because I recommend all of you look for archived recording of student coverage and be aware that whitewashing of this event happened in real time.

Now that Israel had destroyed practically all housing units in Gaza, it is now striking literal tents where displaced Palestinians had sought refuge.

At least 15 people were killed and dozens injured today in an Israeli attack on refugee tents in Al Mawasi, an area designated as a safe zone by Israel.

Although this post is originally from March, just wanted to remind everyone that Israel is still targeting tents. The last attack was yesterday (April 30) when Israel struck tents in Rafah with literal firebombs.

We need more eyes on the West Bank where a genocide is being carried out

i can’t find words for my anger right now so here’s a collection of thoughts that share the sentiment

please @nerdalmighty inspired this with her tags on one of my posts

Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.

Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.

Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.

EDIT: Twitter banned @/nosferatusexgod, the student shot, whose tweet I linked to (as a primary source) at the top of the post. Screenshots of the tweet I originally linked to can be found here.
