still thinking about best practices for communicating reliable information in protest situations. saw a video from Indiana where someone appears to have gotten a close-up look at police snipers from the stairwell of an adjacent building, lining up the stairwell window with a gap in the wall while remaining out of sight. they got close enough that someone who knows more about guns than me could probably identify the cops' equipment. very good thinking!
Let's start an unconventional - yet surprisingly typical - new Rain story.

Tbh the reason why I think reparations should be made to victims of the Nakba and further land displacements even though the Nakba is part of a much larger displacement event that included almost a million Jews being forcibly displaced in the MENA region by Arab governments, is because:
We can be better. And just because those governments might never get their shit together doesn’t mean we can’t. And just because we might never get reparations for the Jews who were displaced doesn’t mean we can’t do what’s right for the Arabs who were displaced in the Nakba.
Fuck eye for an eye or whatever
The English suffix "-ard" (as in "drunkard", "laggard", "braggard", and "sluggard") is used to make adjectives into deprecating nouns.
"He's drunk" is just a description.
"He's a drunkard" is a moral judgment that finds the subject lacking.
The same process turned "he's wise" into "he's a wizard".
"Wizard" was the medieval equivalent of "smartass".

uspol protests, treatment of students
Students against war shouldn't face a ruined career because some idiot with a megaphone in the same zip code said some stupid bullshit. Or because rich white Christians are holding out for their apocalypse and won't back down. ACAB.
I'm critical of some of the messaging sometimes because I want them to be better and more effective as a social force (get rid of the antisemites). But at the end of the day you better try to dearrest even the most loudmouth dipshit student who has bad reasons for agreeing with you. Because none of this shit deserves the brutal establishment crackdown it's provoked.
So this is new (to me). Gmail now marks outgoing links to "unknown" domains as "suspicious" and "might be harmful".
About the half of the indie websites and blogs in a recent newsletter popped up this warning!
How many people are going to ignore this warning or click on Show Details to see that there's *nothing actively harmful* about the site? They just haven't paid their protection money, I guess. 😠
"Suspicious," indeed. Google is flat-out evil.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
