America really said, "we can't attack the KKK, that's racist against White people!" Oh, & I am fully certain that if this game *was* made, certain folks would've called it terrorist against American values & traditions, which, I mean...

I'm in the weeds, y'all.
Dear, that's the No True Scotsman fallacy. You: "The Hopi language controversy disproved the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis." Them: "Well the weak form, linguistic relativity, is yet to be disproven." You: "Well the *true* strong form of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, linguistic determinism, was disproven!" I understand that in popular culture, people tend to only think of linguistic determinism when they hear of Sapir and Whorf, but objectively, your argument is illogical.

I am so exhausted by the enlightened centrist Swifties spewing shit like "gUyS, i KnOw MoMmY dIdN't PlAy NiCe BuT nObOdY's PeRfEcT, cElEbRiTiEs ArE jUsT hUmAn, ShE's NoT a PaRaGoN!" Like, ma'am, she marketed the album where she said "boohoo, it's black but OH YAY, IT'S WHITE NOW" (Opalite, LOASG) 🧵1

It features 8 runic lightning bolts with clear cubic zirconia, oriented as the runic S letter normally is, like an S, and unlike standard jewellery design, facing the same direction so that it looks like SS. There are a total of 8, as in the Nazi number 88. The pendant of the necklace has the U.S.' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) emblem with an opalite in the centre. The product description of The Life of a Showgirl Silver Necklace on the Taylor Swift Store, E.U. site.

So, this has been my lock-screen for about half a year now & I know I'm a language nerd for this, but I love just looking at it & I intend to switch it out soon so to commemorate my silly little thing, I thought I'd post it!
A lock screen featuring white text on a black background with dots serving as separators that are coloured from a gradient starting with aquamarine at the top to indigo at the bottom. Going from left to right, top to bottom, the text says: Vietnamese: Xin chào Tagalog: Kumusta Bengali: Nomoshkar Amharic: Selam Cantonese: Nei Hou Turkish: Merhaba Hindi: Namaste Nigerian Pidgin: I hail o Korean: Annyeonghaseyo Portuguese: Olá Modern Standard Arabic: Salam 3alaykom English: Hello French: Bonjour Castilian Spanish: Hola Russian: Privet Mandarin Chinese: Ni hao Japanese: Konnichiwa Persian: Salam Swahili: Jambo Indonesian: Selamat pagi Standard German: Guten tag Greek: Yassou Urdu: Salaam Hawaiian: Aloha Egyptian Arabic: Ahlan Navajo: Yá'át'ééh Italian: Ciao American Sign Language: 🙋🏻‍♂️ Each, save for ASL, is written in Latin script, but each which has a native non-Braille script other than Latin has that underneath.

Oh my gosh, I spent all that time wondering why my measurements weren't adding up for my banner on this phone (first image) only to realise that the measurements were actually for my other phone (second image) & I wasted all that time getting the word bubbles to around my profile picture for this!
The profile banner shows word bubbles featuring a couple dozen languages saying hello going around the user's profile image. The banner features word bubbles saying hello in a couple dozen languages that has a gap for the profile picture skewed to the left and some word bubbles obscured behind the profile picture.

Upon NYPD's arrival, rather than caring about the safety of the people who fled the train, they were more concerned about an unhoused person daring to sleep beneath the stairs.

Was threatened by a man with a knife on the New York subway, was scratched a bit, & the train conductor did nothing when informed. They are on the move. Be warned.

"You don't need to come up with your own explanations for your thoughts because you can make more money for the rich people if you just regurgitate what already exists!"

Remember, the "education" system of the West purely exists to manufacture complacent tools out of humans. Citation, this.
BROOKINGS John Villasenor May 30, 2025 A.I. can already perform extremely well at writing tasks, and today's college and high school students recognize the technology will be used to help produce most writing in the future. The argument that proficiency at non–A.I.–assisted writing has a long list of benefits, such as for critical thinking, will not prevail given the "efficiencies" made possible by A.I. The "education" (read menial labour training) system must adapt to this change and ensure students are "proficient" in using A.I. to assist with writing. 6 min read

What I think is interesting about whenever I get a story from Ground News about the casualties in Palestine, they always want to highlight the unlikely hypothetical that the deaths were of combatants.
Israeli strikes on Gaza kill more than 90 people in the last 48 hours, Palestinians say More than 90 people have been killed in Gaza by Israeli strikes in the last 48 hours, Gaza's Health Ministry said Saturday. The Ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. 10 sources 67% left-leaning 11% centre-leaning 22% right-leaning

Are White people okay? Because the self-victimisation even after the take over of everything is still growing.
A post of a British toast sandwich with the caption "DEEP REMORSE." The image shows white bread with butter and black pepper on it. In the comments, "Hang on, this was posted in 2025? A post complaining about White people not having enough freedom in 2025? In Musk's internet? 😂" The image shows a YouTube short by @bignibbles where a White man with a dyed blond mullet is biting three slices of bread put together. The text reads, "Saddest British Foods | Toast Sandwich."

Türkiye's new proposed law following in Russia's footsteps to criminalise the destigmatisation of & joy from queer people is so stupid when you hear their reasoning for it. They claim they're "fighting uniformity"... the absolute idiocy of conservatives.
Hürriyet Daily News article titled "Draft law to include new offense on 'LGBT promotion'" subheaded with ANKARA. The image beneath shows a courtroom. The text reads: "Türkiye's new judicial reform package will introduce a separate criminal offense for "promoting or encouraging homosexuality" [in quotes] under the penal code, along with a series of new LGBT-related penalties." The body text of an article from Hürriyet Daily News which reads: "Symbolic ceremonies for same-sex engagement and marriage will also be considered a crime under the new regulations, with penalties ranging from one year and six months to four years in prison. Türkiye does not currently recognize same-sex marriage. Officials say the new measures are intended to counteract efforts to impose uniformity and gender neutrality, daily Hürriyet reported. The law is also seen as a response to concerns over content on social media and digital platforms that allegedly promote homosexuality, it said." ...the absolute number of braincells you would need to be living without to see diversity as a form of "uniformity" will never not astound me.

This Zionist channel just released a video about apartheid South Africa...
A poll on YouTube from a channel called Unpacked with a white on blue logo with the letters U, N, P, K, and D on it. The prompt asks "Where did Hamas get the materials to construct its underground network of tunnels?" with the sentence "Watch & answer" following, followed by the link for the related video. For context, they are referring to the service tunnels which exist normally under hospitals and schools, even in the developed world. The available options are: "Mostly stolen from Gaza civilian construction projects (schools, roads, etc)"; "Mostly stolen from Israel by Palestinian day laborers with entry permits"; "Mostly smuggled from Qatar via a preliminary tunnel into Egypt"; and "Mostly smuggled from other countries via UNRWA workers." It is suffice to say that all of these misrepresent the reality of Gaza's infrastructure to justify Israel's desired genocide.

I finished my first ever #crochet cardigan, let's go!

Also, credit for the pattern goes to The Snugglery on YouTube.

No, because why am I minding my business trying to find out if magenta is a shade of pink or purple & I have to be interrupted by our daily dose of sexism.

This from the sex that decided the only Western worthwhile art was to be gatekept to old, White men. 😞
An image showing a strict ideological delineation between the language of intricacy adopted by women and by men, also known as the ideology of determining one's personality and knowledgeability based on sex, also known as sexism, a combination of sex and -ism. On the left is a woman and a list of colours: maraschino, cayenne, maroon, plum, eggplant, grape, orchid, lavender, carnation, strawberry, bubblegum, magenta, salmon, tangerine, cantaloupe, banana, lemon, honeydew, lime, spring, clover, fern, moss, flora, seam foam [sic], spindrift, teal, sky, turquoise. On the man's side, the list of colours goes: red, purple, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue. Both people are blueish-grey. Swatches showing the colours separate the two people, with each list on either side corresponding to the colour swatches.
