Today Is October 7th Officially Marking 365 Days, 1 Year, Of The Most Well Recorded Genocide In History;

Today is october 7th officially marking 365 days, 1 year, of the most well recorded genocide in history; of an occupation of a people which has been ongoing for 76 years. An entire year of constant israeli bombardment. Hundreds of thousands killed and missing. All the while, the people with the most power to stop the genocide continue to support and defend the politicians carrying out the slaughter.

Yet, it is also a year since the Palestinian resistance definitively proved to the world that israel is not only not the all-knowing state entity many believed nor that they were invincible or undefeatable. Over the course of the year, the resistance and its allies in Lebanon and Yemen have handed out defeats to not just israel but the west lead by the united states as well proving that those institutions and militaries are not invincible.

In israel itself, tens of thousands of bsuinesses are closing or have closed; its ports are under blockade; the settlers are fighting amongst themselves or leaving; it is a settler colony beginning to buckle under the simultaneousforces of its internal contradictions and of the Palestinian resistance. No doubt the struggle for liberation and against settler colonialism will continue until all the contradictions are resolved just as it were it rhodesia and south africa.

May we see a free Palestine in our lifetimes.

reminder that being against ai also means being against character.ai and not using character.ai and not interacting with character.ai

i've never talked to chatgpt i've never talked to character.ai i have no interest in talking to a chatbot even if it's fun or based on my comfort character. if we want companies to stop using ai we need to tell them we aren't going to interact with it - so don't.

don't talk to robots. full stop.

All our times have come, here but now they're gone

Stria had never felt an emotion like this before. It had been burning inside of her ever since she had seen him in the halls. His laughter carrying through the air, his hand raking through his disheveled blonde hair, the smirk directed at the girl he was talking to... all of these things had caught her eye and forced her mind to fixate on this boy. She couldn't help it. The feelings bubbling up in her made her wonder if she'd be able to control herself if she saw him again - she honestly doubted it.

She did, in fact, end up seeing him again. The very next day, she ran into him - quite literally. She turned around a corner only to bump straight into him, the close contact with him making her flush bright red, blood rushing to her cheeks. She stumbled backwards, dropping book she was carrying.

"Oh, hey, sorry," he smirked at her. It seemed to be his favorite expression. "Didn't see you there."

His casualness only made the feeling that much stronger. She ducked her head, trying to desperately to keep all emotion out of her voice as she said, "Didn't see you there either."

He knelt down to pick her book up. "I'm Keefe, by the way. And your name, beautiful?"

"Stria," she introduced herself, her heart beating faster as she met his ice blue eyes.

"Stria," he repeated, smirking yet again. "A pretty name for a pretty girl."

He reached out to hand her the book. As she took it, their fingers brushed, and that was the last straw for her. She started whacking him with the book and she fucking killed him.

BEAUTIFUL. MY SOUL HAS BEEN HEALED. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME KILL HIM TO DEATH WITH A BOOK. I LOVE BOOKS. THE EMOTION IN THIS IS SO GUT-WRENCHING, SO WELL-WRITTEN, SO RAW. I DO FILL UP WITH AN EMOTION EVERY TIME I SEE HIM: PURE, UNADULTERATED RAGE.

Those ridiculous reblog bait posts that are like "Reblog if you think [thing that every sane person thinks is wrong] is wrong. Scroll past if you support [obviously evil thing]" irritate me so much, but I can't even make a parody post about them, because I can't think of anything ludicrous enough to be outside the realm of possibility.

Even something like "Reblog if you think it's wrong to torture minorities for fun. Scroll past if you support torturing minorities for fun" is something that I could plausibly see someone unironically posting
