and at this point in time instead of buying another $20.00 kuffiyeh online or paying $50 plus s&h for a hoodie of Luffy holding a Palestinian Flag, please consider finding a family on the vetted fundraising list and donate. you will be doing so much more than contributing to cash grabs marketing off a genocide

Here's a comprehensive spreadsheet of vetted fundraisers to choose from.

Actually I’ll make it even more boomer because I genuinely think it’s a good thing for people to have a reason to put down social media for an hour or two and just focus all their attention on a movie together and get fully immersed like I think that’s good practice for our attention spans and ultimately for our mental health (unless you’re a person who uses your phone during the movie in the theater in which case uh idk die)

[image id: A tweet by @/Qwabekazi (uYintongaYosimelela) that reads, “I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.”

It has 26 replies, 8.5k retweets, 26k likes, and 1.5k saves.

[image id: A three part meme. In the first part, a man is pointing at a panda with a smug smile on his face, the man says “What’s the point of this animal?” In part two, the panda snaps back at the man saying “What’s the point of you?!?” which causes the man to be blown backwards, shocked. In part three, the man is on the floor, an X over his eye, with text above him which reads: “By ascribing inherent purpose or worth to animals, we deprive ourselves the ability to appreciate the beauty of the natural world for what it is. Organisms don't exist for a reason, they simply adapt to fill ecological niches in order to survive. There is no such thing as good or bad, better or worse, more evolved or less evolved in nature. YOU, SIR, ARE ALSO A POINTLESS ANIMAL” /end id]

bots literally do this in live political feeds. last night during Booker’s filibuster, I saw one just keep saying about once a minute “nobody has it worse than indigenous people” which was ignored. then sixty seconds later the same account says “nobody has it worse than women” which again, thankfully was ignored.

they’re even more obvious than undercover cops at a protest.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don't die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
