hey! my name is tidbits. tid for short :]
i don't care about my pronouns, they're your problem lol (also i'm queer)
i'm a minor, but i don't mind nsfw. that said, if you don't feel comfortable having me follow you feel free to block me or whatever
i don't really tag triggers, but as long as you ask, i'll try to remember
i block liberally as well
im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary
palestinians deserve the right to be able to travel freely in our homeland. to even visit our homeland. for us to have citizenship and rights to our own country. to grow our plants. practice our religions. live without fear that our children can be kidnapped by israeli forces on their violent whims. to not have our life savings poured into building a home for our families that are torn down without real warning by israeli bulldozers. to no longer be refugees. like this is real life. this is real.
we don’t want to be reduced to a never ending slogan. we want to put down our need for resistance. to rest & to live.
we passed a sign in boring that said their sister city is dull, scotland
oh there's a third! bland, new south wales!
I'm sorry but I just have to appreciate the wordplay on that last sign. It's brilliant.
Official silly sign
"While the site offered a wide range of neo-Nazi music, clothing, and paraphernalia, its customers learned last week one thing they didn’t offer was infosec. This tough lesson was taught by AFA Sweden, a group of Stockholm-based anti-fascists, who ruined thousands of the site customers' holidays by releasing Midgård’s customer register.
“Since the 1990s, Midgård has played a significant role in the Nazi movement in Sweden, serving as an infrastructure for the movement,” reads the write-up accompanying the leak. “Over the years Midgård has actively participated in and financially supported several Nazi organizations as well as being present at internal events.
...
The data is freely available in a table on the anti-fascist websites and it contains not just the name of the probable neo-Nazis, but what they purchased, their phone numbers, the address they listed for delivery, and in the case of the Swedish customers, their social security number."
Boosting. The registry has been moved. Check replies for more info!
It's not just Scandinavian Nazis, they have a log of international Midgård shoppers. Including in the US. I really recommend checking your immediate area for your own safety. Keep tabs on your local Nazis, know where they are and tell your friends.
the cashier at barnes & noble just gave me this duck at checkout and they said “i give these to children and people with a certain vibe.”
floored to know something about me aligns with this duck
A fairy used to be able to buy a home like this for a few dozen names and a handful of interesting flowers. Now you need whole family trees of names. And even if you get it, you find put the moss roof is dying. It's pathetic this ecology we live in today
theres a popular brand in canada called no name brand and it manufactures everything you can imagine in a grocery store and it kind of makes me feel like im in a world no one bothered to do much world building for
things that sure are.
things that are.

Can't believe no one posted chair (for sitting)
every time you reblog one of my posts another wizard spawns somewhere on this earth
this post counts btw
introducing my four year old niece to the concept of "moral dilemmas" by telling her that i'm a monster that eats children and that i know it's wrong but i'm so so so hungry and everything else tastes yucky. i've tried all the human food in the world and it all tastes so yucky i can't even eat it. i can only eat children and i'm so hungry
her resolution was that if i meet a kid that has the same name as their sibling, then i can eat one of them. their parents won't be sad, because they have another kid with the same name right there. speaks to an uninformed but fascinating worldview
our history teacher tried a similar tack but the theoretical scenario was "the man who invented the medicine necessary to save your wife is charging more money than you can pay and won't accept credit. you're against stealing but you also don't want your wife to die. what do you do?"
our answer was not only to steal the medicine but to murder the inventor because if he's paywalling life-saving medicine, the solution that involves the lowest body count is killing him. we're ethically and morally obligated to eliminate this threat to human survival
did not go the way he thought it would
Remember when people got mad at me when I said “if you can’t even name 10 trans men activists from the 1980s-2010s I don’t think any of your takes about trans men and our experiences have any value imo. Especially if you aren’t a trans man.” And then people got mad at me?? Like damn sorry I expect people to know a little history before they talk about a group of people .
This is like the time some trans dudes on Reddit got mad at me bc I asked them if they read any transfeminist works bc their ideas about trans women and their experiences were very weird… like I don’t think it’s that crazy of an idea to think people should read and learn about a group before they try to speak/advocate for that group…
Why do some trans people act like you are hatecriming them when you ask them to read trans history and theory … or just talk to other trans people about their experiences . It’s not that crazy of a thing to ask.
Please pick up a book. Read a bit. Learn about other trans people.

extremely funny that the narrative around the columbia protests is that these kids are privileged brats disrupting everyone else's education as though that wasn't the exact rhetoric used to discredit youth activism during the vietnam war. alexa play ohio crosby stills nash & young
also extremely funny when every single one of these articles is like. 'we interviewed rachel levi and abraham weiss, two proud JVP members, as they cooked a passover meal for the encampment and asked: so why do you hate jews?'
now that I’ve been back a while I’m getting the age old “is this okay to reblog” questions on my posts, and I would like to say what I have always said which is that 1. Yes. 2. You should never
Ever
post a single thing on this site that would make you uncomfortable or cause trouble for you if someone shared it elsewhere. Yes, even if you disable reblogs on the post.
It’s not nice, but you have absolutely zero expectation of privacy or containment regarding anything you post to any social media. Even if it’s social media that only your friends can view. It’s still up and out there.
If it would be upsetting or dangerous or just plain awkward for something you post here to show up elsewhere—I cannot stress this enough—Do Not Post It.

Growth capitalism is a deranged fantasy for lunatics.
Year 1, your business makes a million dollars in profit. Great start!
Year 2, you make another million. Oh no! Your business is failing because you didn't make more than last year!
Okay, say year 2 you make $2 mil. Now you're profitable!
Then year 3 you make $3 mil. Oh no! Your business is failing! But wait, you made more money than last year right? Sure, but you didn't make ENOUGH more than last year so actually your business is actively tanking! Time to sell off shares and dismantle it for parts! You should have made $4 mil in profit to be profitable, you fool!
If you're not making more money every year by an ever-increasing exponent, the business is failing!
Absolute degenerate LUNACY
Let us suppose that the "average" horse would have equal proportions of all these parts. The degree to which each part in this poll deviates from the "average" size (20% of total) will determine how large or small that part of our horse will be (i.e a horse with only 10% in Legs will have legs half the size of the average horse).
I will draw a picture of the horse we make!
Thank you for your patience, tumblr. I have been at work all day but now I am home and ready to build this horse you asked for.
First, let's pull up the poll results alongside an average looking horse. I have calculated the size of each part of our horse in relation to Average Size.
Next we will adjust our horse's components according to the specifications.
Finally, let us properly assemble these parts and see how it looks.
And there you have it. Great work team. No notes.
