At this point, I want everyone to cut the bullshit and be honest.
You either want peace for all or you back the war machine carrying out genocide of Palestinians. That’s it. That’s all there is. You either want peace or you back settler colonialism.

If you can’t be honest about what’s been happening for longer than I have been alive, you’re not worth me wasting my breath or tapping on an on-screen keyboard to engage with you. If you cannot see how the Israeli government are precisely what they accuse others of, you’re lost.
You can’t call Hamas a “terrorist organisation” without calling Israel the benefactors here. Israel relied on Hamas to weaken Palestinians. There’s no such thing as a fair fight. Israeli officials have lied to everyone, Israelis included.
I find it egregious that so many are willing to equivocate atrocity on 7 October with innumerable airstrikes, a system of apartheid, and a lengthy campaign of violence that has seen a population comprised of as many children as adults.
My only question that I have for people who cannot seem to keep “Hamas” out of their mouths as well as seemingly suffering from a very selective amnesia: if Hamas is so evil an organisation, why has the Israeli government propped them up for countless years? 🙃
Take your time. Don’t worry I’ll wait. But don’t you dare try playing tit-for-tat. You will lose.
@paninid Mm. The condensed version is that she’s a serial plagiarist who prefers suing her critics into silence after it’s clear she scammed them.
@alex Negative. It turns out she’d rather harass and defame the people she actually worked with as well as abuse multiple partners.
The story of Blair Zon – AKA iiluminaughtii – will go down as one of the greatest examples of Karening the world has ever seen.
Like… if White Feminism: The Game were real, Blair would be one of the boss levels.
Apart from anything else, just because one has the freedom to do or say something doesn’t mean one should and doesn’t exempt you from the consequences in response to your actions.
In other words, you’re not a sovereign citizen. You’re just a delusional prick.
Toodle pip.
So-called sovereign citizens are, in fact, completely clueless about what is actually wrong with law enforcement and they don’t truly care to know how law actually works.
What they want is to do what they went, they want, wherever they want. It’s a grift.
Also, I’m going to make this as condescending and as simple as I possibly can:
The Magna Carta doesn’t do what so-called sovereign citizens claim it does. Admiralty law is not applicable to nor superseded by laws that are enforced on land.
Just because human beings are mostly water doesn’t mean you can opt out of a traffic stop because you feel like it.
So-called Sovereign citizens are really just petulant assholes who managed to miss the point of anarchism.
They’re also people who think their sense of entitlement is akin to diplomatic immunity and mistakenly believe their assertions are accepted everywhere like a Visa card.
@demimom I have denied myself the chance to even consider it as powerful for years.
It’s no wonder the people who harmed me fear a retribution that isn’t coming directly from me. If I did something terrible to ruin someone’s life and they didn’t just survive but their lives significantly improved, that would scare the shit out of me as well.
Not only that but I finally made peace with the fact that it doesn’t matter what people determined to misunderstand and misrepresent me think about me because I know who I am and what I have to deal with. It’s not right being maligned as I have but it’s okay. I made it anyway.
And I will do it again. Just like I’ve done before.
If it burns someone up that I’m still going and damn good at it? If it angers anyone that I am loved? That’s neither a good or bad thing.
It’s not my problem and none of my business. I keep going. I keep loving.

It’s not been easy at all by any stretch of the imagination but I released all of it. At the end of the day, I had to stop speculating about what people obsessed with my demise think because it’s already clear what they think: they want me to die. No further speculation needed.
I don’t need to understand them. I don’t need to understand the inner machinations of what drove them to treat me like shit. I see now that it’s of no consequence primarily because I managed to rise above everything. Their worst wasn’t enough to stop me. That’s powerful.
I kinda sympathise these days. Previously, I had nothing but contempt for those who harmed me, abused me, libelled me, defamed my character, stalked and obsessed over me without ever having so much as video chatted with me… but now, I sympathise.
Clearly, their lives are awful. Clearly, their pain is excruciating and debilitating. Clearly, they are unhappy and unsatisfied with their lot in life. What’s also clear is that’s got fuck all to do with me and I had to stop beating myself up for not being able to take their pain away.
If the heauxs are mad now, wait until next year when I beat this condition, get more medals in football competition starting with the Sin City Classic in Vegas, finally finish an album I spent 12 years sporadically creating, and become a dual national.
Heauxs will be pressed.
That’s the thing, isn’t it? Some people only have negative things to say when you’re thriving amid adversity.
It’s not strictly envy or jealousy but it’s also not legitimate hatred either. Some people just simply cannot understand how one manages to keep going.
It wouldn’t be me or the story of my life having to deal with things I didn’t ask for or how way off the beaten track my various trials and tribulations tend to be… but I’ve beaten it all.
I will again.
After two biopsies, we finally have a firm diagnosis.
I have Langerhan's cell histiocytosis; an extremely rare cancer that my doctors tell me isn’t something seen in adults nor have they personally seen it start in brain. The good news is that it’s treatable.
Radiation therapy/treatment is the first port of call. That has yet to be booked but once it has, I’ll be doing five days straight of treatment. I think they said twice a day but either way, the radiation dosage will be very very low so it’s not expected lose hair etc.
There’s more information to share but I’ll leave it there for now.
X is short for Xcrement.
The whataboutism isn’t in contextualising Stefanik’s reductive question but rather Stefanik’s question itself.
There have been calls for the eradication of Palestinians from this mortal coil and the Israeli government have acted upon those calls since 1948 at the very least.
Surely there can be no comparison between the actual murder of at least 16,015 people and calling for the mass murder of an indiscriminate number of people?
The latter can make the environment conducive to a hate crime. The former means the hate crime is already happening.
Calling for the genocide of Jewish people is unacceptable. That’s a given.
So too is the state of Israel systematically killing and displacing Palestinians.
The problem with the way Elise Stefanik – someone who voted against certifying President Biden's win in Pennsylvania – framed the question to the presidents of UPenn, MIT, and Harvard is that it implies there are more calls for antisemitic genocide than the actual genocide of Palestinians the state of Israel is current carrying out.
