really cool article about the FBI ignoring a neo nazi mass shooter who would eventually commit a mass shooting at a gay nightclub so they could focus on planting a pink haired cop in a protest movement and get her to introduce these protestors to some hilariously obvious undercover cops posing as arms dealers. the SOMEX parts of this are serious tho they are using social media to gather info on protestors and target them and fabricate charges and make their lives hell and it is causing the death of movements like this.
While we're all talking about the antiblackness, transmisogyny, and zionism running rampant on the Tumblr staff team, can we talk about the fact that Tumblr staff has sided with a known predator several times too?
Months ago, an account called @critterkiddo posted a callout on @toonimal for being a pedophile and zoophile and running a website where adults and minors can exchange CSEM. Both accounts were then terminated, critterkiddo for "targeted abuse and harassment" and toonimal probably because of mass reporting.
Critterkiddo wasn't just terminated, though — all reblogs of the callout were wiped from Tumblr.
Toonimal's account was then reinstated. I submitted the following Harm To Minors report:
And received the following response:
We thought that the issue with the callout that led to the termination of critterkiddo was that we revealed some of toonimal's personal information in it. Information that was available to the public, mind you, but most websites are legally required to respond to complaints about their users being "doxxed" so whatever. I was actually doxxed when I was 15 and no one lifted a finger to help me despite the dozens of reports I submitted, but alright. We revised the document and removed all of toonimal's identifying information, and I posted the new version of the callout on @bi-greed —
And the same thing happened again. I was terminated. The reblogs of the callout (which had over 4,000 notes) were wiped. I have not received a response to the appeal request I submitted, last week.
Toonimal's blog remains active, where he gloats about @predstrogen getting terminated when he didn't because "she was breaking the rules and he wasn't:"
Because apparently it's fine for him to use Tumblr to advertise his website where adult self-identified pedophiles can talk to minors, as well as various other things like promote his belief that having sex with dogs should be legal and DM a Black survivor of police brutality to call them a cop bootlicker for disagreeing 🥴
You don't have to reblog this, but I would appreciate it if you did. It is very disappointing to me that Tumblr staff has gotten away with covering for toonimal twice. I'm too scared to repost the link to the callout a second time because I know I'll be terminated again, but I want people to know:
Tumblr staff stands with pedophiles and zoophiles and will work to cover for them and defend them while banning people of color and trans women who have done nothing wrong.
the stuff going on at columbia campus rn is genuinely incredible
despite mass arrests by NYPD and several students (including rep ilhan omar’s daughter) being suspended for their participation and having their university identification deactivated, the gaza solidarity encampment is still going strong well into its second day. def recommend following independent reporter talia jane who is taking part and providing live updates. (talia was the first reporter to break aaron bushnell’s self immolation in february; she was one of the reporters he contacted personally prior to the protest.)
no words.
the fact that people have decided that fandom is an inviolable safe space where anyone trying to point attention away is automatically in the wrong (see this) or to be ignored completely (see the ao3 drives time after a time). genuinely boggles the mind
What's absolutely insane to me is that Ahmed never commented once or involved himself in a single discussion around fandom, yet he was dragged into this mess. I think this person has to be lying about their motivations, otherwise they wouldn't have dragged a literal ongoing genocide survivor into this terminally online attempt at harassment. I think their motivations are a lot more malicious than they're letting on. Even a pure fandom entitled white brat would know that he has not approached a single fandom and shouldn't be bothered at all. Let alone treated in this way.
And for everyone on tumblr: have some fucking shame. Some shame is actually good for you.
The U.S. will use its veto power against a Palestinian bid to be recognized as a member state of the United Nations during a vote at the Security Council expected to take place Thursday evening. Vedant Patel, principal deputy spokesperson for the State Department, described as premature an effort by the Palestinian Authority (PA) to gain member status at the U.N. He said there was not unanimity among the Security Council’s 15 members that the Palestinian Authority had met the criteria for membership, with unresolved questions over the governance of the Gaza Strip, where Israel is in a war to defeat and eliminate the controlling power, Hamas. “And for that reason, the United States is voting no on this proposed Security Council resolution,” Patel said.
Earlier it was revealed that the United States was secretly pressuring other members of the Security Council to shoot down a Palestinian state membership so the US wouldn't have to use its veto as that would lead to a wave of local and international criticism for Joe Biden.
I'm gonna link to the animations in case y'all either don't remember or have never heard of some of these.
A quick note: these were made in the 2000s. Comedy is subjective, there's some strong examples of dark and/or "lolz teh random" humor in these. Maybe some cultural blindness, too. That said, enjoy a time capsule of stuff made before/during the birth of Youtube, now hosted on Youtube.
