You'll Never Know How Strong You Are Until Strength Is Your Only Option."

No one is left. We are all going to die. They killed his parents, his wife, his children, his siblings... (and they will kill him). This is the reality of every Palestinian. Time is up. Protest. Say no to racism. Don't just watch — you can make a difference. To the world: You are not powerless.

To Tumblr users, to the trans community, to designers — all of you: Take to the streets and protest. Boycott companies supporting the aggression. Share the truth; do not stay silent.

Donate to trusted organizations that support the Palestinian people. Stand for justice and humanity.

You are watching, and someone else is watching at the same time. Join us.

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

In the wake of the TikTok ban and revival as a mouthpiece for fascist propaganda, as well as the downfall of Twitter and Facebook/Facebook-owned platforms to the same evils, I think now is a better time than ever to say LEARN HTML!!! FREE YOURSELVES FROM THE SHACKLES OF MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND EMBRACE THE INDIE WEB!!!

You can host a website on Neocities for free as long as it's under 1GB (which is a LOT more than it sounds like let me tell you) but if that's not enough you can get 50GB of space (and a variety of other perks) for only $5 a month.

Neocities

Create and surf awesome websites for free.

And if you can't/don't want to pay for the extra space, sites like File Garden and Catbox let you host files for free that you can easily link into NeoCities pages (I do this to host videos on mine!) (It also lets you share files NeoCities wouldn't let you upload for free anyways, this is how I upload the .zip files for my 3DS themes on my site.)

Struggling to find independent web pages that cater to your interests via major search engines? I've got you covered. Marginalia and Wiby are search engines that specifically prioritize non-commercial content. Marginalia also has filters that let you search for more specific categories of website, like wikis, blogs, academia, forums, and vintage sites.

Maybe you wanna log off the modern internet landscape altogether and step back into the pre-social media web altogether, well, Protoweb lets you do just that. It's a proxy service for older browsers (or really just any browser that supports HTTP, but that's mostly old browsers now anyways) that lets you visit restored snapshots of vintage websites.

Protoweb

With ProtoWeb, you can browse the web like it's 1995!

Protoweb has a lot of Geocities content archived, but if you're interested in that you can find even more old Geocities sites over on the Geocities Gallery

And really this is just general tip-of-the-iceberg stuff. If you dig a little deeper you can find loads more interesting stuff out there. The internet doesn't have to be a miserable place full of nothing but doomposting and targeted ads. The first step to making it less miserable is for YOU, yes YOU, to quit spending all your time on it looking at the handful of miserable websites big tech wants you to spend all your time on.

In hindsight it's very insulting to be told that flunking out of college due to adhd is actually "quite common"

Please help my friend and her family to survive

Alya is only 16, living in Gaza amidst the war. She reached out to me several months ago asking for help after she and her family were displaced multiple times. Since then the situation has only gotten worse. They are struggling to afford food and any basic necessities. Her and several family members are also suffering from illness like anemia and cancer and need medical treatment.

Her campaign is extremely low on funds. The last donation was over 2 weeks ago. She fears for her safety, and so do i. If you can't donate anything, that's completely understandable. But any amount could help them continue to survive and have hope.

Help Alyaa and her family in Gaza

Hello everyone, 

We're working on getting her campaign properly vetted. I'll update when that happens.

Help Walaa and Her Newborn Escape the Crisis in Gaza

Give a mother the chance to save her baby and rebuild a life of hope.

My name is Walaa, and I’m reaching out in desperation to save my

family’s future.

I am a psychologist from Gaza. Before the war, I had a fulfilling

career helping others heal. I hold a master’s degree in psychology,

and I was proud of the life I was building. But everything changed

when the war began.

In a matter of days, I lost it all my job, my home, my savings, and my

sense of security. My husband and I have been displaced multiple

times, struggling to survive in unbearable conditions. We welcomed

our miracle baby born through IVF just one week before the war

started. She is now severely malnourished because we cannot

access proper food or care. Each day I look at her tiny, fragile body

and pray I won’t lose her.

I am not just asking for help I am pleading for the life of my child.

The war has taken everything from us, and we are left with no

resources, no income, and no stability. We need urgent support to

survive and escape to safety.

Your donation will directly help us:

• Secure safe and stable shelter for my family

• Buy emergency food, clean water, baby formula, and

hygiene supplies

• Pay for immediate medical treatment and nutrition

for my baby

• Cover the costs of traveling to a safer location where

we can rebuild

This campaign is not just about survival it’s about hope.

Hope that my baby will grow up in peace.

Hope that I can return to helping others.

Hope that war won’t define our story.

Please, if you’re reading this, take a moment to stand with us. Even

a small donation can make an enormous difference in our lives.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your compassion means

more than words can express.

With all my gratitude,

Walaa

my issue with the argument that "disliking ai art is inherently reactionary" is that it acts like pro-ai art people are somehow less reactionary on their views on art, when like the majority of defense's of ai art as like a higher form art are indistinguishable from the arguments people use to defend the art of like. hitler

Bombing a displacement camp yesterday. Bombing a school turned shelter today. That's Israel's complete impunity at work.

Both these targets were designated as "safe zones" by Israel. But these genocidal maniacs will still tell anyone who's willing to listen that, despite that, they had to strike shelters and displacement camps filled to the brim with families with F16s to (supposedly) get to one single Hamas member.

Just as a survivor of yesterday's massacre said "when they tell you they're targeting wanted terrorists, don't believe them. All of Gaza is wanted!"

You want to call your House rep now and tell them Trump needs to be impeached immediately for defying a Supreme Court order (re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia), which functionally voids our constitution and means no one in America has rights anymore.

I am not exaggerating.

As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.

This is not a drill.

Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.

Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).
