Balance is like a gyroscope. It's not something to be achieved, but a constant evolution. Adjust as needed.

@JohnMeils @RitaWerner we agree on that 💚 no more proxy wars, so more destabilisation and no more interferance!

To loving communities 🥂

@JohnMeils @RitaWerner definately, because with the size of resistance against Netanyahu and Israeli state by the Israeli people. It's very clear we dont agree with the state or Netanyahu

The international court is behind these who resist the all out war the state is creating, and the insane about of deaths of innocent civilians, and the amount of children. We are waking up to that fact.

History will repeat itself, and once again we'll hear "Wir haben es nicht gewußt" when this war is over and the numbers are clear. Nobodies winning. The vast vast vast majority of deaths is with regular civilians. Its against international law, and the rules we wrote down around war after that war of yours

@RitaWerner October 7 was literally a retaliation of the thousands of October 7ths that happened in Palestine. Not to forget the splitting up of communities, apartheid state that Palestinians have had to deal with every day for decades.

October 7 was horrible. But there are literal rules around war. Targeting civilians is a war crime. Netanyahu is a war criminal.

October 7 is no longer an excuse for the scale of destruction that being let loose in the middle east now.

We said 'Never Again' for all the people. And we are saying it for the Palestinian people. Not for Hamas, not for Hesbola, but the citizens of Palestine.

@RitaWerner let's not confuse religion and states/actors. The Israeli state is a warmonger, targeting civilians.

Hamas and Hesbola are horrible suppressive and tercorist organisations. Gaining populist vote by fear of the Israeli terrorist state

@RitaWerner well dont speak for all of antifa. I think you are the only antifa country that supports Israel 🫨

P.s. not saying they support Hamas

I don't know the right lingo, but it's weird to me how Israel is reported attacking the political groups in Lebanon when they are actually attacking everyone in Lebanon.

@karlcx @Radical_EgoCom yea the corrupt politicians that left with the treasury also didnt help. But the place is extremely run down, and used vo be quite astonishing.

When the visuals crumble (fountains, pt, streets, roads) it's confronting. People who will remember before and after will be nostalgic and I can't blame them

Exactly, not even a simcard in my phone 💚

another interesting read

Unit 8200 uff. Israel will probably hide behind the secrecy so its not an official act of war. This whole attack spreading unrest (read: terror) to other states is unpresidented..

Eric Schmidt took a break from selling AI to the military to tell a bunch of Stanford students to become entrepreneurs and if that required stealing a ton of content, they shouldn’t worry about it.

When they succeed, their lawyers will clean up the mess.

5 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people

https://privacy.thenexus.today/start-making-the-fediverse-less-toxic/

1. Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices
2. Think before you post
3. Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
4. Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects
5. Approach it intersectionally

The article also has links to anti-racism resources and appendices with a list of common mistkes to avoid and blocklist resources for moderators.

Thanks to everybody who gave feedback on earlier drafts!

EDIT, 8/19: I updated #2 (which previously started with "Post Less"), and also made some other changes in the underlying article - including a bit more discussion about how anti-Blackness isn't just a US problem.

Read on for some excerpts (1/N)

The world and peoples self image/mental overload would be so much better off if we just ban advertisement from public space

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry delete that platform.

Edited: apparently the tweet about "weird" being a slur is a fake and has been debunked, so I am taking it down (see, even I have to check my sources sometimes!) However, I am leaving the post up and replacing the fake tweet with a real one where he calls the word "cis" a slur and whines about how he will punish people who use it.

@henk so much knowledge on these materials (-algea) since they used to be what we used. Linnen is the most absorbing and quick drying fabric (this is why they were used as undergarments for expensive clothing), i'm trying to get my hands on some 100% linnen sportsclothing for a while now. All sport s brands use synthetics and try to replicate what linnen has naturally.

@tom They claim that acid reflux, or GERD, is actually a fabricated condition created to sell antacids and other medications.

The "real" cause, according to these conspiracy theorists, is a little-known parasite called "Gastroenteron." This microscopic organism supposedly attaches itself to the stomach lining, causing discomfort and a burning sensation that mimics acid reflux symptoms.

The movement gains traction through social media with the hashtag #GERDisaLie. Proponents argue that big pharma has been suppressing information about Gastroenteron to protect their profits from acid reflux medications.

They promote alternative treatments like "stomach detoxes" and special diets claiming to eliminate the parasite. Some even sell their own supplements or "parasite cleansing kits."

Maybe jilly juice makes a comeback?
