I need to once again ask for you all to help my friends Ahmed and Dina Alanqar and their four young children in Gaza. Unfortunately they've been struggling to contact GFM about issues transferring funds, so they needed to begin a new campaign from scratch.

Ahmed tells me the situation is becoming worse by the day now. Bombs are falling around them and the price of food keeps rising.

When they tried to return to their home they found their childrens clothes were burned and torn in rubble.

Please assist in their continued survival and ensure they have a chance to escape when they can. Donate and share! ♥️

Vetted! 264 on El-Shab-Hussein and Nabulsi's spreadsheet (here)

Liberals are already telling everyone all the things they can't have in the future, which I'm sure will generate winning levels of enthusiasm

"We are not getting anything that would slow the rising tide of fascism by improving people's lives" I'm sure people can't wait to run out and vote for that

tumblr updated and now all the icons have scars and slashes and gashes and wounds and blemishes and tears and rips and abscesses and fractures and bruises and cuts and scrapes and clefts and fissures and notches and incisions and lacerations and lesions and rents and holes and dents and burns and sprains and faults and lumps and shit like that

The thing I keep thinking about from the Nintendo direct is how they had to repeatedly emphasize that Welcome Tour is a 'paid' experience. Because nobody would look at it and assume that! We cannot simply let people look at PowerPoint slides and tech demos for free.

Wait.... That big filibuster I heard about... Wasn't FOR anything??

i think when it comes to knowledge gaps (especially on tumblr) its easy to get insecure about not knowing everything. but the real secret is that you can get away with not knowing everything if you just dont insert yourself into conversations you dont understand with blind confidence. the internet also gives you the privilege of 1) googling/wikipediaing shit before you say it, and 2) not volunteering how little you know. you dont actually have to enter the conversation just to say how little you know. part of the stereotype of dipshit stupid american on here is that americans will say full chestedly that they dont know which continent tchad is in and then go out of their way to justify it with their lack of education. when no one asked them to say either thing. and even if someone did ask, you are never under any obligation to actually answer.

and yeah i know i talk like below post sometimes too but i went to a meeting tonight and got to be around comrades so im normal again

i think being a semi-ironic maoist standard english, 'read settlers', card-carrying third worldist constantly talking about jdpon as any kind of western socialist but esp. as a white usamerican is corny and embarassing beyond belief. it just feels like a way to totally displace any responsibility to engage in serious political action innit, no substantive difference to all that "going to punk shows and house parties is the revolution" schtick that such people (rightly) make fun of

like i just think "well everyone here is just a treatlerite we need unlimited genocide on these first wordlers president xi please save us" is a cheap excuse to avoid engaging with the fact that 99% of marxist parties in your country are ossified fossils of bodies that might have engaged with mass proletarian politics 40 years ago at best and combination newspaper sales outlets/sex cults at worst as the culmination of a century of failures from the communist movement and therefore as a problem to be actually grappled with and solved. there is a awfully nice dovetail between "only the global south has revolutionary potential, we need jdpon to invade and reeducate the yankkk$" and "phew! guess those global southerners are the ones who have to do all the work"

Chauvnist who's so horny he can't stand properly: "You can't expect us to know. The US education system doesn't teach us anything, it's all propaganda, it turns you into a mindless drone. they put a helmet on you and turn you into a mindless drone. they encase you in latex and turn you into a mindless drone. the US education systems turns you into a drone in the fetish sense of the word. that's why i never learned that foreigners are human beings!"

"no! get away! it's not safe!"

*begins to undergo a horrifically painful looking American Werewolf in London style transformation sequence with bones snapping and joints rearranging but at the end of it I stand up and I've just turned into Elvis*
