I have friends at Indiana University and they've been saying there are snipers on IU Bloomington campus. And theres a bunch of cops everywhere. This is wild.

It's because there's a whole bunch of students trying to set up camp and protesting against the genocide of Palestine outside the IMU. There's a lot of attention on larger universities for their protests, but do not discount the young people of the Midwest. We are here, we are speaking out against the genocide, and our conservative state leaders see our presence and activism as a threat to their status to the point that they are willing to escalate things by calling in the state police and putting fucking snipers on top of one of the most beautiful buildings on campus just in case they feel the need to fucking murder us.

The last picture is the aftermath of the pigs tearing down tents, btw. 34 were arrested and banned from campus.

Everyone call the IU President’s office at 812-855-4613 tomorrow when they open to demand the students be allowed back to campus and that freedom of expression be protected at IU.

My redesign hot take is that if you’re aiming to “desexualize” a female character, don’t make her boobs smaller. You’re implying a lot here.

Instead of shrinking her boobs, try:

  • Changing her posture to something normal people do (bonus points for slouching/rounded shoulders, a common posture for tall and/or big chested women)
  • Making sure her outfit is appropriate for the situation (showing skin is not inherently sexualizing, lingerie armor or half-naked-in-the-snow probably is)
  • Making her torso/waist thicker, maybe even enough that all her organs would reasonably fit!

There are probably lots more options too! I’m not an artist! Just a person with a big chest and back pain!

Those who protest against Israel's genocide are punished for antisemitism.

But for some strange reason, authorities have never cracked down on antisemitism any other time. Any other time, antisemitism is considered free speech.

It's almost as if they know damn well that protesting against Israel is not antisemitism.

I talk about it again and again but it makes me absolutely foam at the mouth that when we raised alarms about nazis and other antisemites we were told we were making it up. Once, admin at my uni put out a statement that calling a student a nazi (who was a vocal nazi organizer) was “like calling someone the N word.”

Across various institutions I (and countless others) have been stonewalled, backstabbed, and punished by admin for calling antisemitism and white supremacy what it was over and over.

Then it happened in 2021 and it’s happening again: suddenly admin will find their spine to “condemn antisemitism” and raise alarms about nazis (or “nazis” rather) when it comes to punishing Palestinian and antizionist students—regardless of how many of us were Jewish.

It is such a staggering insult to listen to these assholes wax poetic about protecting Jewish students when we were hung out to dry when facing actual violence and death on a daily basis from swastika-clad goons. It is not about safety, do not let them get away with it. They do not care about us, they care to maintain a flattering image and continue in support of brutality and profit-extraction.

Another fundraiser I trust!

He has a tumblr, and it seems he's very new to it and doesn't know how to use it properly so he ends up looking like a bot but dw he is legit. I had a long conversation with Mahmoud over DM's just to go over everything. It all checks out. Please consider donating to get his family out of Ghazzah! Additionally, his brother-in-law is special needs and cannot be taken care of in a tent!

Please support and share my campaign to reach out to many people across the world to have quick donations 🙏💔please consider the situation 🙏Save my family please🙏

PLEASE HELP MAHMOUD! The invasion of Rafah is imminent. Please help Mahmoud and his family.

powerful words by assala a. sayara

[transcript: do we have to convince the world that palestinian mothers are like any other mothers in this world? until when do we have to convince the world that palestinian children are just like any other children in this world? until when do we have to convince the world that palestinian men don't deserve to be dehumanized?

they have not left an inch of gaza. jabalia refugee camp, khan younis, al nasser hospital, al quds hospital and now rafah in which they have claimed it is a safe zone. there is no safety in gaza.

the greatest pride that i have is being palestinian. i am from a people that do not surrender. i am from a people that do not bow down. i am from a people that resist from generation to the other. i am from a people that have freed this world but yet has not seen freedom. end transcript]

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
