I usually dont engage in discourse on this account and you are well meaning in your stance, however I feel it is wrong to say that one would be antisemitic to be against isreal just because it is a Jewish country. Yes Jews have been extremely discriminated in the past and the creation of isreal is tied to the Holocaust, but to use these arguments as a defense for isreal's occupation of Palestine to make it seem like there are two sides to the genocide. Which is not only very ignorant but also disrespectful to pass this off as merely a religious conflict not only to Palestinians, but Syrians,

Lebanese,

but also to other Jews as many survivors and loved ones of survivors of the Holocaust have spoken about the similarities between Gaza and The Holocaust, even *Vivienne Westwood* expressed distain for isreal and call to boycott before her passing.

50 UK Artists Call for the BBC to Boycott Eurovision in Israel (VIDEO)

In a signed letter published in the Guardian newspaper Wednesday, a coalition of 50 artists called on the BBC to pressure the organizers of

It is no secret that isreal is targetting civilians, with the current casualty count being over 30,000 with half of those being women and children, isreal making ads and paying public figures to pledge support in hopes of influencing their followers, soldiers are being drawn to the recordings of children laughing, hospitals are being demolished and are literally FLATENNING PEOPLE WITH TANKS, This is in no doubts a genocide, so please when you think of Palestine and isreal don't think that there must be some justification for this. You are not any less a Jew or anything of an antisemite for standing with a suffering nation. No matter their religion or what they look like there are still people suffering, however You cannot claim to be Pro-Palestine if you also choose to support isreal, as isreal is the oppressor in this situation. This paragraph feels poorly structured but I hope it gets my message across.

Free Palestine, and bless the Jews. Together we are stronger. 🇵🇸

It is so difficult to explain to people who have absolutely ZERO connection to Israel or Palestine that I am both pro-Israel AND pro-Palestine. Like what the fuck isn't clicking?? Israelis and Palestinians aren't little action figures you get to play with- they're fucking human people. And I'm sick and tired of western goyische leftists acting like you MUST be anti-Israel (and by extent, antisemitic) to be pro-Palestine.

So apparently KOSA (2024 edition) is getting either thrown out until next year or put into effect in six days.

Update that's going in the main post at the top: it has enough support to pass.

It failed the last two times because people were voting against it.

This time, KOSA has traction among the pro-LGBTQ parties. Because nobody is fucking calling their bullshit and screaming from the rooftops that calling it the "Kids Online Safety Act" is misleading.

What will it passing do?

Nothing much, only prevent any education on LGBTQIA+ (it's that stupid fucking argument about us grooming kids again), shut down nearly every fandom space on the internet, and make it required for most big tech companies to have your ID.

Want to have resources for kids to discover their identity readily available? Yes? Then fucking speak up against this stupid fucking bill.

Fandom spaces like Tumblr, Twitter (? I thought the MAGA assholes liked Musk?), Tiktok, Archive Of Our Own, and any other website that hosts fanfic or fanart? Either shut down permanently, forced to uproot to a different country and down for a while (best case scenario, and they likely won't be able to send any data, and therefore fanfics, to the US), or gutted so that you only get to put G rated cishet ships on there, if any shipping at all. How to avoid that? I've already said it: Call your fucking representatives.

Want to avoid the fucking dystopic task of being legally obligated to give big tech your government issue ID? Again, cause an uproar. Call your goddamned representatives.

If they can pass this, the ripple effects could be catastrophic.

So, for fuck's sake, any Americans that can impact this stupid fucking bill and see this? Do everything in your power to shut it down because you have until February twenty sixth (26th) to send this bill back to where it belongs.

And if you can't do that? Reblog, copy my tags, and boost the signal.

Sorry not sorry for ranting, making you scroll through that, and swearing a probably excessive amount, but KOSA is a bill with a GLOBAL IMPACT being passed by ONE COUNTRY because some old people are scared of two guys with who were told they were girls kissing within five hundred miles of a child. Fuck this shit, I shouldn't have to worry about bad bills in America but I fucking do because I use the internet and would like to avoid mass censorship. Fuck this, fuck conservatives, and fuck the fact that some boomers make your country's policies.

Now, if you won't mind me, I'm going to be up until three in the morning downloading fanfiction or copying and pasting them into a a text file if I can't so I can read them by the end of the week.

thing i did for a school project, it feels good to be back!!
