"but I didnt learn about the usa's wrongs in school 😢 we don't know anything cause they didn't teach us anything 😢" well no one in my school in india told me that our country is a regionally hegemonic war criminal you're just entitled and insultingly uncurious
in fact they told us completely propagandised nonsense about how pre colonial hindu kingdoms were extremely peaceful but were forced to defend themselves against regular invasions solely by muslims. this is something v easily contradicted by the foundational story of ashoka's turn to buddhist dhamma being the brutality of the kalinga war.
the point being made is school, everywhere in the world is a deeply political project and is marshalled for the purpose of nation building. you're not going to hear about the sins of your nation in any serious way at school most anywhere in the world, and expecting that it should have betrays a certain lack of uhh, street smarts. its for children and run by the govt.
I'm a UX Designer and this Wi$h Li$t contract has some of the darkest pattern I've ever seen. I hope this is what ends her. I'm so, so, so disgusted.
You're supposed to think this is a normal wish list you make to give to your family and friends. Just in time for the holidays. Cute and harmless. Oh, maybe Taylor will even send you something herself. She's done it before, right?!
"Create your holiday WI$H LI$T of your favorite products..." Okay, sure. Sounds good.
Oh. Okay. Some tiny text in a tiny frame. You don't need to read that. That's fine. Just put your name and click 'Continue'. Cool, the button works even if you didn't read all that!
Uh oh. You just gave up all your rights. If Taylor Swift and anyone she works with want to make a deep fake of you, they legally can.
You'll never even know they did that. :)) Cool, cool.
And if you die while doing anything related to Taylor Swift, (like going to her concert...) nobody can do anything about it. Yeah, that's great. :)))
Huh. Where is this wish list now that you thought you were making??
Edit because some people take issue with the last part: I have been in courts myself and experienced first hand how lawyers can twist things in ways that suit them. So in my understanding the phrase, "in any related activity," would include things like going to her concert. If you read it differently, that's fine. But there's no need to act like I'm maliciously making things up when I have many years of experience reading legal texts and genuinely understand it this way.
South Asia is witnessing scorching heat waves, with temperatures in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India regularly surpassing 110 degrees Fahrenh
"Amid intense heat waves, the laborers remain exposed as climate policy is treated as a weather emergency rather than a persistent structural risk.”
- Anjal Prakash, the former research director at the Bharti Institute of Public Policy
I'd also like to elevate this linked study from the article:
South Asia and Southeast Asia contributed more than half of the global death number attributed to high temperature. In 2021, South Asia recorded 209,537 deaths and Southeast Asia recorded 32,230 deaths attributed to high temperatures. In South Asia and Southeast Asia, Pakistan bore the highest number and rate of deaths attributed to high temperature. The population above 55 and below 5 years in South Asia and Southeast Asia experienced higher disease burden attributed to high temperature... Deaths attributed to high temperatures in South and Southeast Asia are projected to rise until 2045, with South Asia exceeding 400,000 and Southeast Asia approaching 100,000 deaths in 2045.
New York Times article
"Sunil Rastogi, an auto-rickshaw driver in New Delhi, normally works 12-hour days to make ends meet and save for the heart surgery he needs. But in summer, as temperatures climb above 100 degrees, he faces a dilemma.
Should he work fewer hours, bringing home less for his family and delaying his surgery, or press ahead and risk worsening his fragile health?
“I feel tired as it is,” Mr. Rastogi said last week. “This heat makes me even more tired.”
For millions of workers like Mr. Rastogi — wage laborers, construction workers, street vendors, delivery drivers — the scorching summer in New Delhi often forces them into a bitter trade-off between health and income. They keep the machinery of this city running, and they are among the most susceptible to its harshest conditions.
On the hottest days, the surface temperature of the ground can reach 140 degrees, according to the Center for Science and Environment, a New Delhi-based think tank. That is when tarmac starts to soften and barefoot workers risk blistering their feet."

Also, "stay home if you don't want to be murdered by the government" is not something said by people who value freedom.
[id. A twitter post by @/Bennieeexyz Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat. Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records. My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now. Called the county clerk. Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty. Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons? Me: Yes, but he's a cat. Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county? Me: He's a legal cat. Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption. Me: He can't file anything. He has paws. Clerk: You can file on his behalf. Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat." Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons." Me: What's the medical reason? Clerk: He's a cat. Me: That's not a medical condition. Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving. Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later. "Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement." Took the letter to my vet. Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty. Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty? Me: Excellent question. No good answer. Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten. Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve? Vet: On what grounds? Me: He's a cat. Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings." Me: Perfect. Sent it in. Got another rejection. "Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court." My roommate thought this was hilarious. Roommate: Felix is going to jail. Me: This is serious. Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens. Decided that was actually the only option left. Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters. Checked in at the courthouse. Clerk: Name? Me: Felix Martinez. Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix? Me: Yes. Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat. Me: I've been saying that for six weeks. Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption? Me: I filed three. All rejected. Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation? Me: Twice. Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this. Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me. Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote? Me: You tell me. Supervisor: This is a data error. Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out. They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience. Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry. Me: Appreciate it. Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted? Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats. Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card. For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was. Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud. Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent. Roommate: That's what they all say. Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now. Fitting end to his legal career. end id]
ngl it does bother me to watch white swifties finally address taylor Swift's racism that Black women and people of colour have been talking about for almost 2 decades. I remember in 2009 seeing Black culture critics be run off social media for calling out the way Swift so emphatically used the Kanye West awards show incident to position herself as a victim in the way white women have defined their status against Black men in the US for centuries. I remember the Wildest Dreams music video being called out by Black people GLOBALLY in 2014 for romanticising the aesthetics of African Colonialism, and swifties doxxing those people. I remember in 2015 when the Shake It Off music video dropped and the countless articles written by Black women and women of colour about how racist it was for Swift to (again) position herself as so pure and innocent by comparing herself to Black people, specifically the faceless bodies of Black women in that video. I remember seeing my Black mutuals being called conspiracy theorists in 2016 for calling out the manufactured outrage when the whole Kanye thing started up again with that lyric he wrote about making her famous, only for it to be revealed that she intentionally let it all kick off and tried to cover it up that she had okayed the lyric. I remember watching Black swifties be doxxed and bullied for pointing all this out and more and expressing disappointment at Swift's silence during Black Lives Matter. I myself have been targeted and harassed by Swifties for years for pointing out her white feminism, for pointing out all her actual friends were white and/or racist. A few years ago when I was posting sources about Taylor Swift trying to bulldoze Olivia Rodrigo's career with lawsuits, a 17 year old woman of colour, and pointing out how Swift does not do this with white artists who are her peers, the harassment I experienced from Swifties drove me to self-harm. And that's all without mentioning her silence on the genocide in Gaza for the past 2 years, her associations with MAGA people for the past 5 years- all of which have been called out by people of colour the entire time and those people of colour were also harassed over calling a spade a spade, a racist a racist. I could go on, but you get the idea. I'm glad white people are finally seeing what Black women and people of colour have been telling you about this woman for nearly 20 years. It's super interesting that they had to hate her art before they were willing to agree. I don't think this is a problem with just Swifties so the point I'll leave the post at is this: we will never be able to have meaningful and effective communication about racism in art and arts industries more broadly if people are only willing to discuss that racism when art is "bad".
Do anti-vegan leftists on Tumblr have any understanding of how... behind they are?
If you turn up to any progressive organising, Food Not Bombs chapter, social justice protest movements, socialist kitchens etc. you'll find so many vegetarians and vegans, and even among those who eat animals, just about everyone is positive about veganism or are at least trying to reduce their consumption.
Then you log into Tumblr.com and are presented with the most conservative, bizarrely regressive takes on animal rights coming from self-described radical leftists. I see people with anarchist profile pictures parroting literal animal agriculture corporate propoganda, and that post will be shared by ten of thousands of other people who no doubt also see themselves as progressive... I don't know if this is just a USA vs. Europe phenomenon but leftist Tumblr doesn't seem to have gotten past where it was in 2010 when it comes to animal rights.

Freedom FROM religion is mandatory.
This whole debate regarding the woman who got an abortion after learning the baby would have Down Syndrome is ignoring one crucial element: the woman. I’m seeing so much commentary on people with Down Syndrome, how they’re happy and have wonderful fulfilling lives. And that’s great! But a woman should not be forced to carry a pregnancy and give birth if she doesn’t want to. I don’t care how morally concerning her reasons are. Educating on disabilities to ensure that women are fully informed before making a decision on whether to continue a pregnancy is amazing…but it needs to be done without shaming her for choosing to abort.
i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw
bringing a sort of "slavery is still alive and well in US prisons" vibe to the office Juneteenth post that my higher ups don't really like
From what I understand slavery was never actually abolished in the us. It is still legal and all.
the amendment that "ended" slavery specifically left permission for slave labor as punishment for convinced criminals and our inmates have been legally exploited ever since, yes
not a bummer, say it louder
