also acting like judaism and islam are inherently more spiritual than xtianity, like theyre inherently more progressive than xtianity, like theyre the “good” ~moral~ religions to xtianity’s “inherent evil” or that they arent forced on ppl is like, hilariously historically revisionist at best, straight up erasure and dehumanization at worst.

and im not an antitheist and im not saying judaism and islam are “”“bad”“”“ religions or that theyre inherently oppressive and again, it all comes down to the tools people use to enforce stuff like misogyny and homophobia, which religion has historically been a major one. (im a religious jew myself)

but like. if your solution to opposing antisemitism and islamophobia is to treat these complex, living religions, with many many (billions with a b in islams case) different followers and interpretations as simply "cutesy uwu spiritual and nonthreatning”, youre not actually opposing antisemitism and islamophobia. like there are more options than the binary “blind hatered” and “blind romanticization historical revisionism” lmfao. youre just making it harder for jews, muslims, ex-jews and ex-muslims to talk about their experiences lol.

and like. the only way i can describe that phenomanon is ‘europilled americel’

also acting like islam is a minority on a global level is hilarious. billions. with a b and an s.

My least favourite form of shipping is when it’s obvious that people only ship these characters together because one half of the ship is being used as the shippers’ proxy/self insert to express their attraction to the other character in the ship. Please just make a self insert OC. I promise it’s fun and not cringe at all, and I mean that sincerely!

THIS IS THE SUPREME HORROR MOVIE IDEA

thethief1996:

700 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours and the airstrikes are more violent each night. Gaza’s hospitals have fuel left for two more days. Israel only allowed aid into Gaza on the condition they didn’t carry fuel. The Indonesian hospital has shut down already, because doctors have no supplies and no choice but to let the wounded die. They’re calling it a collapse but the term doesn’t do it justice.

Over a 100 incubator babies are at risk. There are 50.000 pregnant women in Gaza right now, and 5.500 due to give birth this month. Menstruating people are taking pills in order to stop their periods, because they do not have pads or water to maintain hygiene. Surgeons are operating without anesthesia. Water is not reaching Gazans because there’s no electricity or fuel for water pumps.

There’s no excuse for this. Israel justifies the airstrikes by saying they want to destroy Hamas infrastructure and release the hostages, but they have refused to negotiate for their release. Hamas informed Israel they wanted to release two elderly women without anything in return, and Israel refused. Netanyahu said they wouldn’t take their own civilians back because it was “mendacious propaganda.” When the hostages were finally released, Netanyahu prohibited the hospital from giving press releases. Yocheved Lifshitz went behind their backs and talked to the press anyway, saying she was treated very well by Hamas, but the government abandoned them. They’re being used as straw men. Israel is conditioning the entry of fuel to the release of hostages and yet, according to The Wall Street Journal, when Hamas proposed to exchange 50 hostages for fuel they denied. IDF officials have said they fear the release of more hostages because that might withhold the order to their ground invasion. They do not care as long as they can use the hostages as a pretext for their slaughtering.

There’s a turning tide for Palestine in public support. Support for Israel was built through decades of propaganda and we are making a dent into it. Zionists are desperate, holding zoom meetings to promote zionism, but we have to do so much more. We have to shame people in power into supporting the Palestinian cause.

Keep yourself updated and share Palestinian voices, looking to inform yourself from the sources. Palestinians have asked of us only that we share, tweet and post, over and over. Muna El-Kurd said every tweet is like a treasure to them, because their voices are repressed on social media and even on this very app. Make it your action item to share something about the Palestinian plight everyday. Here are some resources:

• Al Jazeera
• Anadolu Agency
• Mondoweiss
• Boycott Divest Sanction Movement
• Palestinian Youth Movement
• Mohammed El-Kurd (twitter / instagram)
• Al-Shabaka (twitter / instagram)
• Mariam Barghouti (twitter / instagram)
• Muhammad Shehada (twitter)
• Motaz Azaiza (instagram) - reporting directly from Gaza

Take action. You can participate in boycotts wherever you are in the world, through BDS guidelines. Right now, they are focusing on boycotting (don’t be overwhelmed by gigantic boycott lists. Only boycott additional brands if you can):

• Carrefour
• HP
• Puma
• Sabra
• Sodastream
• Ahava cosmetics
• Israeli fruits and vegetables
• Push for a cultural boycott - pressure your favorite artist to speak out on Palestine and cancel any upcoming performances on occupied territory (Lorde cancelled her gig in Israel because of this. It works.)

If you can, participate in direct action or donate. Palestine Action works to shut down Israeli weapons factories in the UK and USA, and have successfully shut down one of their firms in London. Some of the activists are going on trial and are calling for mobilizing on court.

Call your representatives. The Labour Party in the UK had an emergency meeting after several councilors threatened to resign if they didn’t condemn Israeli war crimes. Calling to show your complaints works, even more if you live in a country that funds genocide.

• FOR PEOPLE IN THE USA: USCPR has developed this toolkit for calls
• FOR PEOPLE IN THE UK: Friends of Al-Aqsa UK and Palestine Solidarity UK have made toolkits for calls and emails

Hey, Tumblr. You like non-stereotypical depictions of autism? What about ✨ neurodivergent protagonists ✨ ? Yes?

I think people enjoying alcohol for ‘the flavor’ is a lie

I drink alcohol because I like the way it tastes

I drink alcohol for other reasons, but don’t think it tastes bad

I drink alcohol for other reasons, but it’s gross

I don’t drink alcohol because it’s gross

I don’t drink alcohol for other reasons, but it’s also gross

I don’t drink alcohol for other reasons, but don’t think it tastes bad

I have never tasted alcohol

tell me in the tags either the worse drink you’ve ever had or what you do to alcohol to make it palatable

This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI

The tool, called Nightshade, messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models. 

MIT Technology Review

New anti-AI tool from the team developing Glaze that looks to poison prompts and ruin data sets entirely.

The tool can go so far as to trick AI into generating things it didn’t ask for. 50 “poisoned” images of dogs into a data set yield typical errors companies have been working to get rid of: weird proportions, extra limbs, etc. When they added 300 samples, it was drastic enough to make a data set that was trained to generate “dogs” into “cats” making the tool basically useless.

It’s not out yet, but they’re adding it to Glaze and they intend on making it open source.

Welcome to the age of the AI arms race.
