The use of white phosphorous in Palestine is so calculated and insidious because not only does it cause horrific, usually fatal burns but its residue in the envionrment can cause illness, birth defects, and cancers for generations afterward. Look at the Twitter account Fallujah Birth Defects (graphic) which documents defects and abnormalities so rare most medical journals don't have them. White phosphorous was dropped in Fallujah in 2004 and it's still killing Iraqi babies. What do you think it's going to do to the survivors of the Palestinian genocide.
they've been doing shit like this for years, with zero consequences and yet im supposed to feel sorry for these inhumane monsters??? lmao no thanks
Generally I think the proper knee jerk response to someone shitty doing something good shouldn't be "wow maybe this makes up for the shittiness" and instead "how did the people supposedly on my side let themselves get outflanked on this?"
I got a copy of “The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition” and the whiplash I got going from rule #112 to #113...
'by Quark as told to Ira Steven Behr' indeed lol
If y’all can’t boycott Starbucks and McDonald’s what use are you really? Because these aren’t places that you NEED (do not bean soup this post I’m so serious) what do you have that’s a NEED from Starbucks?? Exactly.

rosyishthis may seem harsh but i think the venn diagram of 2010s hamilton fandom and 2020s ofmd fandom is very nearly a circle
clitfisto"uhm actually its really inclusive and diverse and the fans are mainly lgbtqia+ so if you make any criticism of the show or the thinly veiled racism of the (primarily white) fandom youre the real racist and homophobic and anti-freedom and you should let people enjoy things" theyre slave owners cas.

im not immune to how corsets make breasts look
lyssastarss buttchan ukulelekatieWe need a lot of people to archive a lot of stuff as its being removed. This has to be a collective effort.
el-shab-husseinLike I'm gonna let y'all know, all the stuff I post, I have saved on a hard drive. The issue is while I'm saving this and archiving it, it's not open access. It's personal and I can use it for personal references. I have countless videos from eye.on.palestine that was removed from IG, but far from all of them as their account's updates were like. Up to hundreds of videos from the ground every single day.
magzOh what coincidence - was gonna make post that one way can be active n "do something", is that as many people should backup everything that can.
Archiving can be form of activism n keep information alive.
Backup image, video, original news articles wordings, social media posts, websites, the contents of shared links - like save PDFs and books, whatever.
n it also useful that if some the proof is on Tumblr blog, for not lose archive if Tumblr (or other social media) delete account or post - to backup the blog n posts.
For Tumblr blog.
Tumblr backup script save as HTML, and have option to locally save all media (image, video, audio) from a blog. HTML mean that a backup can be re-upload as a site online elsewhere if know how. "static site hosting" tend to be cheap or even free (though hopefully it wont be taken down, whichever you choose).
For saving individual webpages to online.
With the add-on active, just right-click on a webpage and choose "Wayback Machine" and "Save Page Now"
If want have your own personal dedicated Archive.org dupe and are have more technical knowledge, can use Archive Box locally or online, or have pikapods host and setup Archive Box online for $2.7u.s+ per month.
There also just classic right-click (on PC) or hold tap (on mobile) or take screenshot to save image and video, n save to specific folder on PC or phone.
But beside that ...
Of course there more options.
Miscellaneous options and Information:
what appear in search engines when search "[insert social media] video downloader" for sites or "[insert social media] video browser extension" - but they vary in quality.
also different android apps that add download options in the social media app itself (like "fritter" or "quacker" app for twitter / x. "newpipe" for youtube. Downloadable on F-Droid. "friendly social media browser" for multiple socials, on play store - though current version buggy n broke)
or dedicated downloader (like "seal" app for video and audio. "twittasave" for twitter / x. Downloadable on F-Droid).
and of course other web crawlers and web scrapers -that automate going thru websites and the web, to save information and links. can vary in difficulty with tweaking to have saves not broken. httptrack, webscrapbook, hitomi downloader & hitomi downloader chrome add-on, etc.
There always more options if one not work. Search github, f-droid, play stores, search engines, on reddit discussions, ask people you know that know more, so on.
General Advice.
Get an external hard drive. or for usually cheaper, have a normal internal hard drive / SSD and an external hard drive enclosure.
if know how to check credible online stores -
to start - online buy can be usually as low as $10u.s. for 500gb of internal HDD, and $10-$20u.s. for decent HDD enclosure - but can be $5u.s. for cheap quality ones - like on ebay. (make sure is compatible. like 3.5inch enclosure made for 3.5inch HDD, n not just SDD sticks or 2.5inch)
better than local price in local currency, personally.
Example.
(described in alt text) Image Examples. $9.99 Hard Drive of 500gb. $19.49 "decent" external HDD enclosure. (U.S. dollar)
- Also, if you have an old hard drive or unused computer, can wipe the contents if there nothing important, and put it in a hard drive enclosure so can connect to a PC thru USB. So can do backups.
More backup locations is better, do not rely on 1 backup that if 1 thing go wrong get lost. (example: have on local device, on private cloud, on website, on external hard drive)
know your tools, know your options.
Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if we’re already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. “We will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-“ how about you stop “making peace” with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.
Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.
guys i just got the best anon ever idk if i can post this i want to keep it framed in my inbox forever.

i can’t choose a favorite part of this it’s all so good.
