when it comes to the donation campaigns ive seen and shared over the years, gofundme doesnt take paypal for me and i really dont wanna put billing information (my home address) anywhere if i can afford to avoid it so i will appreciate if people can share links that take paypal so i can actually send the money through
We have all really lost the plot on what callouts are for
"Callouts are always good" <- reductive take, lacks an understanding of how callouts are abused to harass and harangue perceived malcontents
"Callouts are always bad" <- reductive take, ignores that the fundamental purpose of a callout is to promote community safety by pointing out dangerous patterns of behavior that threaten the marginalized in the community
So no you are not being persecuted by callout culture when a black person shares around your racist ass posts with your name on them or when a trans woman shares screenshots of vile transmisogynistic dms you've sent her. If you didn't want to be known for being a dickhead you shouldn't have been one.
But at the same time we have to recognize how, like with EVERYTHING ELSE, people in positions of (relative) power will weaponize those same tools to drive smear campaigns.
So yes you should be skeptical of callouts that cross your dashboard but no you shouldn't automatically assume it's a malicious witch-hunt either esp when it's as simple a post as "block [user x]. Here's why"
Zionists and everyone else PLEASE stop abusing the term ‘blood libel.’ IT DOES NOT MEAN “ACCUSATION OF MURDER.”
It is a feudal European conspiracy theory to justify pogroms by accusing Jews of murdering Christian children to use their blood for satanic rituals, including baking matzah with this blood. If it isn’t literally an accusation of blood drinking or blood magic or ritualistic child murder, it is not blood libel. It is not blood libel to accurately describe Israel’s actual actions bombing children. That is completely unrelated to the blood libel myth, stop expanding the definition beyond the phenomenon it was invented to describe.

She's getting cooked on twitter but she's entirely correct
idk dude the Jack Daniel's logo is bigger than the Coca-Cola logo, I think this is a case of if you idiot-proof something nature makes a bigger idiot
Cannabis alcohol and caffeine are all regulated with labels on the packaging, and so long as they take a second to read instead of guzzling at random like a wild animal they should be fine.
people literally died because of a beverage that did not prominently display its (absurdly, dangerously high) caffeine content, and that's just the most recent example. OP is correct and saying "lol consumers are just dum-dums" feels like the McDonald's coffee lawsuit all over again.
Also maybe not everyone knows Jack Daniel's is an alcoholic company.
Plus the eye may be drawn to the pop of Red coloring (The Coca-Cola Logo) on this Monochrome Black and White Can first
It would literally be so easy to standardise this from a design perspective. All you need to do is add a coloured band around the can, for example cyan for alcohol, yellow for caffeine, magenta for CBD or THC (with lettering telling you which is which). Badly drawn with finger on phone vision below:
The bands could state the dose too.
The eye is naturally attracted to color against a monochrome black & white background. In this case, they saw Coca Cola instead of the Jack Daniel's logo. Coke Zero has an entirely too similar design, making this easier to mistake for it.
It's a design failure based on aesthetics rather than logic. All that visual noise becomes static with that little bit of color standing out because of it.
Finding the caffeine and dosage on a drink is difficult because it's rarely bolded, and it's often the same size as the rest of the information. Not all drinks even I clude the dosage. I can manage up to 40mg, any higher results in Problems, like seizures. I shouldn't have to search online for the dosage nor eto even find out if it contains caffeine.
The strips of color at the top of a can or bottle is perfect, but must include the dosage for caffeine, CBD, and THC. Alcohol percentage is always at the bottom and should have a bright strip of color as well. These are a simple solution and will save lives. Especially for those with poor eyesight, folks with allergies to these specific ingredients (I know several people allergic to cannabis and hemp) or sensitivity (me and caffeine), and/or using meds that don't play well with these additions.
Also I know this is controversial with many many people but people who you consider idiots for not reading the label more carefully also don’t deserve to go into diabetic shock / have an intolerance reaction / have a dangerous blood pressure drop / be drunk or high if they don’t want to be. Like idk if people just aren’t catching this part but the person in the original screenshot was looking for coke ZERO, got a big swallow of sugar and alcohol, and almost called 911. They are very clearly diabetic and this is an extremely serious mistake to make.
I dunno how many times we have to have the “should I care about disabled people even tho their problems don’t affect ME” conversation but it’s getting real old. If your solution is ever “just be smarter”, there is someone vulnerable that you are forsaking.
This is so fucking disgusting. How DARE you say Jewish-Palestinian joint organizing is a bigger threat than literal neo-Nazis threatening and killing us!
For Rana Alsawalhi’s family, they’ve lost several members of their family already and need to evacuate Gaza immediately - this is urgent, please share and donate - and send to your friends, followers, and family! €20,500 out of €73,5000 (4/22/2024)

It's pitchfork time for the fossil fuel industry. Shareholder economics is killing the entire planet for the wealth of a few.
On that note, I want to spotlight the fundraiser for an Afro-Palestinian journalist, and Lama Jamous' uncle. He has less of a following amongst allies because he posts almost entirely in Arabic, so I'm going to spotlight him on my blog and put him on the fundraiser list as well.
And please follow him on IG as well, even if you only speak English he has small captions on the videos he posts that translate his Arabic.
Another month another set of hollow promises about having our rent covered from people that could do so easily. I'm gonna delete my other fundraising post because its more important that we get rent covered. We're two disabled trans women (and a silly cat) building a new internet, please help us survive

on the 18th, this post appeared on 4chan's /lgbt/ (slurs in thread: link). a screenshot was posted to reddit, then to tumblr. you've probably seen it:
today, the 23rd, another screenshot popped up on various discord servers, then was reposted variously to twitter. it shows a supposed email from guardian journalist and notorious TERF Susanna Rustin, claiming as the original 4chan post does.
it's now been shared around, and it's with good intentions. the message is useful: don't share your personal information or medical data with journalists, especially ones that happen to be TERFs.
but the post does this through misinformation and fearmongering. i'm still waiting on my response by email from Rustin, but she's reiterated twice (once, twice) that she did not write the email and is not working on such a story. on the 19th, i talked to other guardian newsroom journalists, who said they also did not know of a story's existence.
the moral of the story: this is misinformation, and it's dangerous. it spreads a fine message here, but it does it through spreading anxiety and terror.
you can follow along with this post on my parallel thread on twitter. also calling on @wakewithgiggli to delete their original post!
