I know white people especially struggle with this concept but like when a Palestinian, or any other group of Black or brown people are calling you in and making a general statement about the state of the allyship for our causes, and making criticism of common behaviours or whatever else, that is NOT an invitation for you to confess your own shortcomings or your journey of self-improvement. Especially not under our posts. Make your own post if you really feel like it. But we don't need to hear your personal story of how you ignored our long-standing genocide until you saw enough people doing the right thing and you decided to follow. Keep that to yourself.

These posts are meant for you to REFLECT ON YOURSELF! BY YOURSELF! QUIETLY! And decide on your OWN what part of your behaviours you can identify being criticized in these posts and fix them!! And if you need help you can ask a question without necessarily giving us all the details of how you used to be ignorant or whatever. We're not here to hand out forgiveness we're trying to help coordinate and organize people to be more cohesive and we're giving you tips to be better allies. We're not giving you counciling for white guilt!!!

Most classic comic book characters were CREATED by Jewish people, who are you know, writers capable of writing non Jewish characters. Like you can death of the author them and say Superman’s backstory is so Moses that he’s a Jewish character even though he’s not textually Jewish, and I’ll agree with that kind of argument but it’s also like, the creators themselves saying things like “yeah they have religions we never really brought up in print but they’re in my mind, Louis lane is catholic, lex luthor is Jewish”

Yeah, and that’s what I’m saying, a lot of these characters ended up being confirmed as canonically Jewish. Of course some of them were only allegorically Jewish but many of them ended up being literally Jewish as well

I'm gonna say it here too. Allow me to be crystal fucking clear.

It is not cowardly to stay in the closet. Full stop. You do not owe anyone any part of yourself you aren't ready to share

If you unable to come out because you fear for your safety or well-being or because you know it will cause you substantial discomfort, that is not a defect in you. It's a failure of the society in which you live and the community surrounding you.

If you just don't want to share that part of yourself, that is valid and I support you

actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

A type of flu virus that used to sicken people every year hasn't been spotted anywhere on Earth since March 2020. As such, experts have advised that the apparently extinct viruses be removed from next year's flu vaccines. The now-extinct viruses were a branch of the influenza B family tree known as the Yamagata lineage. Scientists first reported the apparent disappearance of Yamagata viruses in 2021. At that time, experts speculated that precautions taken to stop the spread of COVID-19 — such as masking and social distancing — had not only driven the overall number of flu cases to historic lows but may have completely snuffed out this type of flu virus.

straight up not only is moralizing appearance shitty because people in your life will find out that you think they're ugly, it's also a suuuuper easy stepping stone to racism because a lot of features the zeitgeist deems "ugly" are features often found in marginalized groups.

I'm curious, how do you know some of these are scams? One of the was posting pretty realistically like a Palestinian or supporter thrmmmm

but you seemed pretty sure it was a scam. How do you figure this out? I'm not necessarily questioning your judgement I'm just curious what your method of determining which fundraisers are scam or not? Like I said, nor doubting you , just curious about your methods. Would help me as well... I never know which ones are legit so thank you for compiling that list!!!!

Which one did you think was convincing? Lemme guess? It was the one that had google translated Arabic in the bio?

Also I've said it about a hundred times and I know you're a long time follower. I don't post the reasons I can identify a scam because it'll make them better at getting away with it. Another user that goes by @kyra45 has compiled a list of identifying features of these scams pretending to be Palestinian, which I entirely object to, and now people like you who aren't Arab and who aren't Palestinian and who haven't been keeping up with this are being fooled by them because they know how to look more legit now.
