Israel has done what we all predicted and warned about. Simple, pure evil. They pushed Palestinians by carpet bombing everywhere till they all had to go to the least bombed place (No, Rafah was never completely safe. They were bombed there, too, to a horrific degree), and then, after cramming what nears a two million civilians with about 600 thousand children, they are asking them to leave... to where?! Nowhere. They are just saying leave. So then, when they kill them all, they can say 'Oh, we warned them'

It was all predicted, and no one did a thing

Rafah is now the most densely populated place in the world, with a population of about 1.5 million and prehaps more in 64 km2. About 25 miles squere.

25 miles squere

A marathon is 26 miles straight. You can at least run through Rafah in length once and in width twice and pass the 1.5 million Palestinians. That's how crammed it is. With no where to run

Hey guys, I know we're all broke but I just found a Palestinian evacuation gofundme created in late April with no donations, so I gave what I could and I want to encourage anyone who can to donate to it too:

I just can't imagine what it must be like to reach out for help like this and get nothing back. So just... even if you can only give very little, give it anyway, because together we can make a difference in this genocide.

I also want to give a list of other gofundmes with very few donations. Lots of people have been able to evacuate thanks to these fund raisers, it really makes a difference. I'll reblog with a few more.

There are also about 800 gofundmes more listed on this Project Olive Branch spreadsheet:

If you can't donate, share. It feels hopeless sometimes but there are many of these from the list that have reached their goals and are safe in Egypt now and we can help even more people. Together we have more power than we know.

More fundraisers with few donations:

Are you guys happy about the "brain finishes maturing at 25" myth getting recognition are you going to be happy when you're fighting in the twitter wars and the transmasc you're arguing with goes "um you're actually harassing a 23 year old minor" and in the eyes of the british medical system he's telling the truth

Same as "autistic girls are too Mentally Incapable to be trans" was used to deny autistic people gender affirming care, "protect kids from the trans agenda" is just another goalpost that is going to be constantly moved because the goal is not to make sure you only medically transition at the "right age" but to make transition impossible by forever finding reasons you are not mentally capable of making that decision. Worse, it's literally the medical industry's textbook infantilise and pathologise a group to take agency from them play. You Actively undermine bodily autonomy, abortion access, and disability rights if you support this shit.

Girls will be like “oh I’m just running some quick errands” and then spend all day in the wetlands appreciating the unique flora and fauna

Ironically you need fat to be strong. Body builders are not strong. They look like that from starving and dehydrating themselves for competitions. Most of them don't even look like that normally. Look at lists of the strongest people in the world. All fat as hell. As I get stronger I also get fatter. Visible muscle definition is gonna be mostly aesthetic, it's not a sign of strength. Sorry for ranting I'm just so mad most people don't know this. AND ESPECIALLY THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT LEAN MUSCLE! I'm really scrawny and people always think they can take me at arm wrestling then act completely shocked when I win. Lean muscle bro. There's all different types of ways to train for different reasons. Body builder is not the only way to be strong/healthy. It's not even strong or healthy. Sick of it being viewed like that it's just more fatphobia, it is scientifically false.

I wish I was there for them.

I dunno how many people this will even touch but, I miss my younger self, I wish she wasn't so traumatized and I wish I was there to help them. they would be so proud where we are now. I love you so much.

"the prefrontal cortex doesn't fully form until yr 25!!" y do u wish to take more agency away from teens and young adults. y do u refer to phrenology to inform yr worldview. I'm about to undevelop yr prefrontal cortex with a baseball bat if u don't shut the fuck up

for the ppl who keep saying this is an objective fact, from the Wikipedia list of common misconceptions:

it's pop science. it's pseudoscience. it's phrenology. it's not real. it's being used as an excuse to call older people pedophiles and take away the rights of younger people. shut the fuck up.

Also, the "development" people refer to is actually specialization of the brain. It removes little-used synaptic connections and reenforces the regularly used ones. This means if you don't train it, nothing will develop other than an increasing difficulty to grow. If you don't let kids and teenagers learn how to make decisions, you end up with adults who never learned how to make decisions and who will struggle more with it than they would have as kids.

The brain is fully formed by the time you're 3. Any further than that, we only get through practice and experience. The way we prohibit kids from gathering much of that experience on their own terms, in their own time, is abuse on a social scale.

in b4 95% of all websites in june 2024 announce that "for security" they will only work with browsers that use manifest v3

Just use Firefox.

The more people who use Firefox the better! It's got versions for the desktop, android, and iphone, all free. In addition to ublock origin there are thousands of addons. You could also consider using one of Mozilla's paid products, such as their VPN, or donating to the Mozilla Foundation, in order to ensure they're able to keep going.

Not to be Old on main but I remember this exact thing happening in the late 90s and early 00s. I remember it very well. Microsoft pushed out all the browser competition with Internet Explorer, at which point both browser and web innovation stagnated for years because why fix something that's broken if everyone is using the broken thing anyway because there are hardly any other options. If you want to know how bad it was, Internet Explorer did not have browser tabs and it certainly did not have any sort of adblock. And everyone just lived with it.

I am watching the exact same thing happen with Chrome in real time today and that's why I always reblog these posts and sometimes am extra annoying and add on to them. I don't want to see it happen again because it sucked. Please use Firefox. Use it on mobile too (it has browser extensions!!! Including ad blockers!!!) And reminder that Edge/Brave/Vivaldi are all built on Chromium and you should not be using those either. Those browsers will show up as Chrome on tracking analytics and it does not help the overall project, which is showing web developers that Chrome is not the only browser people are using.

Your passwords and other useful things transfer to Firefox, btw. Go make the switch. You have nothing to lose.

Most websites that tell you they need Chrome to work are lying, even if they block you from accessing them if you're not using Chrome. They just do not want to support the dev work to optimize for anything else, or may have a special deal with Google.

Fortunately, there are Firefox extensions that just basically tell websites "yeah, I'm definitely Chrome. don't worry about it"

Please note I have not used either of these, because adblockers and script blockers are good enough at disabling those annoying messages.

Message to all Americans: you BETTER NOT have brought BURGER in your SUITCASE

I asked my friends on Discord if they used "psipsipsi" or "swswsw" when they are trying to call kitties, and I got a wide array of answers and it got me wondering--

How do you

Thank you to @space-glitter-gay, @frogs-under-logs, @justoneofthosebibliophiles, and Virginia for the blessing and the other options!
