#also if the source is parrotting centuries old bigotry: that's ALSO a bad sign!

Y'all please stop making me add to my block list.

If you aren't going to vet your sources, please do NOT add misinformation to the stream.

And you may notice I don't blog much about certain events. That is because I do not have the time to properly vet my sources, and am well aware of all the misinformation floating around. All I ask is you do the same.

"source: bro trust me" is NOT a good idea outside of joke posts. And these days there are also far too many misinfo sites that have wrapped themselves in a veneer of legitimacy.

And right now there is a lot of veiled (or not) hate that is being whipped up and spread around. Don't add to that.

#ramblings #i have seen some RANCID things today #and have had enough #i have seen blatant and hateful misinformation #i have seen false equivalencies all over the place #i have seen some truly nasty double standards #tbh more than half of it can be checked like this: #is the source looking to stir your hatred to the sort of levels usually seen in alt-right fuckers? #if the answer is 'yes' then uh. MAYBE that's not a good source #also if the source is parrotting centuries old bigotry: that's ALSO a bad sign!
