students at Emory university in Atlanta set up a solidarity encampment that lasted all of three hours before the Atlanta Police department and Georgia State patrol came and forced them off the quad. They threw tear gas into the crowd, shot students with rubber bullets, and tased students. multiple students and faculty have been arrested including freshmen and tenured professors. friends of mine were tear gassed and had their belongings taken by the police, other friends have been arrested for "disorderly conduct" and are currently at the DeKalb county jail, where they'll likely be held overnight. the selections of which students have been arrested and which haven't are transparently racist and targeting black students. students from Morehouse and other Atlanta colleges were arrested as well. I'll update this post with more information as soon as bail is posted but they're still processing the people who have been arrested. if you can call the school or donate to the bail fund please do, and you can follow stopcopcity and emorystopcopcity on Instagram for more information. this isn't the first time Emory has called the cops on student protesters - just last year they called in the apd to shut down another solidarity encampment for stop cop city. stop cop city has lost traction outside of Atlanta but the fight to stop cop city and the fight to free Palestine cannot be separated from one another.

The student protests for Palestine have been an amazing show of solidarity and support and seeing thr way that so many young people are willing to stand up for their values is admirable when so many others stay silent. But this is all to say that we are entering a pattern of glorifying these white “martyrs” from the global west to put all of this effort and resources and media coverage into instead of the actual cause they are fighting for.

I saw the same thing happen with Aaron Bushnell, when his self immolation was being talked about more than the actual genocide in Gaza (which went against everything he said he was self immolating for in the first place).

And again this happened with the prisoner from the US who worked 136 hours just to be able to donate his $17 check to Palestine aid efforts. In response to this, people wanted to help him and ended up raising over $100,000 in a gofundme for him. This feels almost satirical, as every gofundme to help Gazans evacuate Palestine and get to safety has a goal of less than $100,000 and most of them are not even close to reaching it.

And now, there are more and more posts on how to get aid to the college student encampments, and the “urgency” of getting enough bail funds for the students who have been arrested during them. Talking about Palestine itself and getting resources to Palestine has almost been put on the back burner in favour of making all Palestine related news about college students in the United States.

It think it is valuable to recognise the selflessness and importance of these protests, and getting these students resources but what is MORE important, and what these people are truly fighting for, and protesting, and make a statement about is PALESTINE. We have unsurprisingly reached the point where there are people who care much more about the white people fighting for the cause from the comfort of living in the global west than they care about the Palestinians undergoing a genocide in Gaza. It’s become almost blatant racism, the way people begin to drop everything the second a white/usamerican person does something in regards to helping Palestine, but will not put the same effort into a Palestinian IN Gaza who is telling their story or asking for help. I respect anyone who has done absolutely anything to help Palestine, but I hope people are starting to see the pattern of how the media gravitates towards the “white saviour/perfect martyr” instead of the first hand accounts coming from those in Gaza.

Anyway FIND A GOFUNDME AND DONATE TO HELP FAMILIES IN GAZA ESCAPE GENOCIDE

Hey, yall! Help a t4t disabled couple with relocation!

My husband and i need a bit of help, we're moving to a new apartment by May 15th, but we need a bit of help with moving costs. Things like the deposit, gas for moving, and necessities we might need once moved in!

My job has been reluctant to give me new hours, since im in an area that's covered by a different company, but i plan on leaving that job as soon as we move. This does leave us in a tricky situation, though, as i dont have enough hours to cover our own daily needs, let alone an expense like this.

Any help is appreciated! I do tarot readings and traditional art!

PSA: the guardian is not working on a hit piece on diy hrt, and claims they are are misinformation

on the 18th, this post appeared on 4chan's /lgbt/ (slurs in thread: link). a screenshot was posted to reddit, then to tumblr. you've probably seen it:

today, the 23rd, another screenshot popped up on various discord servers, then was reposted variously to twitter. it shows a supposed email from guardian journalist and notorious TERF Susanna Rustin, claiming as the original 4chan post does.

it's now been shared around, and it's with good intentions. the message is useful: don't share your personal information or medical data with journalists, especially ones that happen to be TERFs.

but the post does this through misinformation and fearmongering. i'm still waiting on my response by email from Rustin, but she's reiterated twice (once, twice) that she did not write the email and is not working on such a story. on the 19th, i talked to other guardian newsroom journalists, who said they also did not know of a story's existence.

the moral of the story: this is misinformation, and it's dangerous. it spreads a fine message here, but it does it through spreading anxiety and terror.

you can follow along with this post on my parallel thread on twitter. also calling on @wakewithgiggli to delete their original post!

Politicians will say fear-mongering stuff about ‘pregnant men’ (trans men) and like 60 popular funny blogs™ will rush to post “ermm doesn’t this idiot now that omegaverse isn’t real lmao 🤣” and then thousands of people will reblog it agreeing with the idea that pregnant men are just fictional and jokes

I'm only mildly morally outraged by taylor swift. She's kind of the poster child for rich blonde white women but she's not the worst one yknow. She's like the hillary clinton of pop music but I'm grateful that she's not a politician. I do find her lyrics and the way swifties act about those lyrics REALLY funny though. God bless
