Lego Swimming Pool Layout

This is my favorite video ever. Thank you 😍

this tiktok was originally posted by Beyond the Brick, and the actual lego layout was built by AFOL & KFOL Bricks! this isn't the same video (there's background music) but it is on their youtube if you want to see more of their work:

Just fyi for everyone the new strain DOES have the capability to do breakthrough infections (meaning if you’ve had your shots or COVID within the last two or three months you can get it again - only 2 confirmed cases in the US as of this morning though), no we don’t know if the new vaccine coming in September will be protective enough, and yes a lot of our overarching medical bodies are letting us doctors know that those who are elderly and/or are immunocompromised should be wearing a mask.

I've never stopped masking 😷 ... probably never will.

every day i wake up, i log onto this website to remind people that trans men, FTMs, trans fags, drag kings, butches, testosterone dykes & transmasculine people have always been a huge part of our liberation, communities & history and have struggled to give us that, and that we have so much to thank and appreciate transmasculine people for while listening to and validating our unique struggles and appreciating transfeminine & other trans folk at the same time. it's honest work

Very interesting (concerning) that while there’s a general consensus of “of course there’s queer Muslims and Jews and Christians we love them!” But that love is conditional. You can be religious but not too religious. You can be spiritual as long as it’s not actually that important to you. You can be observant of your religion’s dogma and traditions as long as you keep it away from everybody else.

But I don’t want to cut myself into smaller pieces. I don’t want to take a part of my life and culture and being and hide it away behind closed doors. It’s just…hypocritical and disappointing when people, who clamor about their love for the contradictory and self-authentic, hate when they’re confronted with it.

Gay weddings from different cultures

Adding pictures from a Jewish wedding because these guys are really cool!

<3 Every single one of these images brings so much joy to my heart <3

They’re so wholesome!

<3 There is so much love and joy in this world <3

I wish the world could be just this

None of the bullshit, just people being happy and in love <3

at least there’s fucking friends. at least there’s people who love you in this godforsaken world

Hello friends, there's a dogwhistle I've seen used a couple times on tumblr that I want to discuss.

Fellow neurodivergents especially, please listen-- towards the end of this post I describe how some in our community have been using it without knowing what it means.

A fairly common antisemitic dogwhistle used amongst alt-right circles on the internet is being a "noticer," "noticing patterns," "pattern noticer," etc. I've seen this from a couple Tumblr blogs I follow reblogging memes and such that use this term but don't provide any context about what sorts of "things" they may be noticing.

Here's the meme that I saw a blog I'm following reblog last night.

Seems pretty harmless, right? It's a meme with a cute cat.

In alt-right circles, what they are referring to "noticing" is the conspiracy theory that Jews control the world/"noticing" evidence of an imagined globalist (read: Jewish) world order/etc. If you see a meme that uses terms like "noticing patterns" that doesn't elaborate what those supposed patterns are-- just leaves you to fill in the blank yourself-- take a look at the types of things OP might be posting. The alt-right has an idea that it's forbidden to talk about who might be behind the "conspiracies" they talk about (again, the target is frequently Jewish people) so lack of context is often a red flag.

I sent the blog who reblogged this an ask informing them that the meme was a dogwhistle. If you see someone reblog something like this, check what they've been posting. If this seems like an isolated incident, the person probably reblogged it not knowing what the term actually meant. That's why dogwhistles are so effective-- to the average person they look harmless if you don't know what to watch out for!

Let's take a look at how alt-righters use this term.

Here's an alt-right definition of it from Urban Dictionary.

Oh boy, this one gets a bigotry bingo for all the dogwhistles used here. If I miss any, feel free to comment. Here are the ones I found:

-Noseticing: Noticing plus nose, based on the stereotype for Jewish people to have large noses.

-"those who cannot be named"/skirting around saying Jew: again the idea that it's forbidden to talk about who they think is behind their conspiracy theories.

-"world events and agendas": idea that Jewish people have a Globalist agenda etc etc

-Degeneracy: Nazi term to describe the behaviors/people they find undesirable.

-Early life: refers to the section in a person's Wikipedia page. If a person was brought up Jewish, it'll usually say so there.

-Oy vey: a Jewish exclamation of exasperation that Nazis have unfortunately co-opted when talking about Jewish people.

Here's probably the most obviously antisemitic meme I found.

The title and first bullet point include the "noticer" term. This meme also talks about a "group" who controls wealth. Who might the poster be referring to here?

Here's a Twitter account with many similar alt-right terms. Explicitly identifies as a Nazi and ethno-nationalist, etc etc.

A couple other pages. I clicked on them to see if I could find any more examples but the first seemed pretty blank and the second... Well, I don't have a twitter so I couldn't view.

Let's unpack these a little. The first one has "13 outta 52," a statistic used among white supremacists to depict Black people (especially African-Americans) as "savage": 13 referring to the percentage of America that is Black and 52 referring to the alleged percentage of murders in the U.S. that are committed by Black people. "109 countries" refers to the idea that Jewish people have been expelled from 109 countries during history. (Which isn't entirely true. Some "countries" in this count are actually cities, regions, etc.) Some white supremacists may use the number 110 instead to suggest that it should happen again.

The second one has a blurb alleging a global sterilization effort and concerns of fertility. This is likely in connection to pro-natalism for white people. If Nazis want a so-called "Aryan nation," they're going to want white people to populate it, and so they encourage white people to have babies for their cause. Nazi Germany employed this tactic as well, even awarding "Aryan" German women who had four or more children for their contributions to the Nazi cause.

The reason why I'm emphasizing that context matters is that some neurodivergent people have seen this and co-opted it into neurodivergent circles. As a person who is Jewish and autistic, this is pretty alarming to me. I'll show a couple examples from Tumblr:

And

I've left out the URLs of the OPs because I want to give the benefit of the doubt-- they both explicitly refer to being a "pattern noticer" in terms of neurodivergence. And it's easy to see why introducing this term to ND folks would be an easy way to get a dogwhistle passed off as harmless! Since autistic people often have analytical minds, we often make connections that others might not be able to see. But unfortunately, using terms like this only makes it much easier for antisemites to fly under the radar.

Stay safe and let's keep Tumblr free of this shit.

some of you are out here thinking being a lesbian = attracted to femininity or being a gay man = attracted to masculinity and like… i’m begging y’all to look more into the deeply rich and complex history and depth of gay attraction

like no i'm not attracted to men yes i'm attracted to hairy transmasc nonbinary lesbians who have taken T no that's not contradictory you just need to try opening your mind and experiencing the world a bit

there’s this weird fucked up belief among Western Europeans that Americans don’t understand/know history. like, tell me what countries your country colonized and which ones they still occupy? quickly, when did the Sam Sharp Rebellion occur? when did Jamaica gain independence from you? you don’t know that you annoying fuck? what’s that, they don’t teach you your own dirty history in schools?

call my pussy a truffle the way your hog is hunting it down through the bush

when hozier said "i'm not a committed reader but when I obsess over something, I'll allow it to ruin my life" i really felt that. hozier book club now. only books with the potential to ruin your life allowed.

The Goyim are fucking wild, the way I would have dumped that casserole over that woman's head, also divorce that wife.

If you say "i hate homophobes/transphobes" but then you hate on queer people who's labels "don't make sense" or who's labels are "problematic" to you.... guess what! You are the homophobe/transphobe! Congrats!!

though . some people medically can not mask or get vaccine , just to remind . mostly is people with severe disabilities that put too much risk for side effects , or physically brain can not understand and cope . people who need protect most !

so be angry and frustrate with people who could but choose not - not just choose for self anymore , also choose put people who can not in danger .

( " those people will care for selves , whatever " - how ? how shop for self , go to doctor for self , if no one else care protect ? these things need be two way , need be herd for meaningful good effect . )

just ask . please do not direct anger at every single person who do not , because , for some not choice .
