@BriannaWu You aren’t moderating. You’re throwing members of the trans community that fall outside of a narrow envelope of experience under the bus and pulling the ladder up behind you.
This is currently the situation outside of Eden Golan's hotel room.
Because of her nationality, hundreds of people who hate her are screaming outside of her room.
What happens if she goes outside? You hurt her so she quits? You kill her so she can't perform?
If you are this angry about Eurovision having an Israeli perform then boycott the show.
Gathering in the hundreds to scream at a singular woman whose main crime is her ethnicity is not acceptable.
@TaliaRinger as soon as I saw the name I let out an audible groan. they had a penchant for out there takes even before oct 7, when they pivoted to JVPnik propaganda, and it’s only gotten worse since then
I want to respond to this with a thread, because I don’t feel like a tweet will do it justice. I will share this screen grab in each tweet in the thread, so that people can see what I am responding to.

@ContraPoints I struggle to see how you “really do” empathize with us when that statement exists before a “but” in service of downplaying the atrocity denial, threats, & open calls for violence against our community at these protests as “the occasional broken window or offensive slogan”.
The #Splatoon 3 Spring Fest in-game event begins today at 5pm PT! Will Baby Chicks, Li'l Bunnies, or Bear Cubs be the cute critter that comes out on top?
Additional prediction: AI will regurgitate the captchas, which will have to become increasingly bizarre until they’re indistinguishable from AI hallucinations. real people’s humanity will be under constant scrutiny. some of the comments denying your humanity will be from AI bots
Predicting that in the near future, internet video creators are going to start performing bizarre superstitious "captchas" within their videos in an attempt to prove they're not AI. Same as saying "unalive"- trying to adapt to the rules of an incomprehensible system.
Two announcements!
1. A reprint of my poetry book, “La Mer, Volume I: Dawn to Midday on the Sea” is available now on Amazon (link below)
2. The second volume of the La Mer poetry series, “The Play of the Waves” comes out later this month, on 3/21
Stay tuned for more details
Please, please, please don’t self-immolate or set yourself or anything on fire for Gaza. The gift of life is precious, and there are multiple ways of drawing attention to the plight of Gazans in a helpful manner that doesn't cause you or your loved ones unnecessary suffering. There are plenty of people in this world being needlessly burned by bombs and war; please don't join them, they don't have a choice, but you do.
To help Gaza, hold a fundraiser to send food or medical supplies to civilians; do targeted advocacy to get specific actions done such as food airdrops, sending water supplies, and calling for political resolutions & action; work to build bridges between the Palestinians and Israelis & give peace a chance; explore & understand various components of the Israel & Palestine history to learn from mistakes and ensure that new visions and pragmatic solutions preserve Palestinian lives in Gaza & elsewhere; write articles, letters to the editors, or engage informed audiences to influence and inspire them; and if necessary, take structured breaks from social media and from viewing the constant images of death & carnage - even as someone from Gaza, with family and skin in the game, I get so overwhelmed & discouraged daily and have to walk away from my screens lest I be entirely overcome with despair, grief, and desperation.
🧵My article with the Times of Israel: "While I am under no illusions that dialogue alone will change the circumstances and conditions on the ground in Israel or Palestine, the devolution of the discourse around this conflict requires a return to basics."

Things that will not free Palestinians:
⛔️Saying that Jews are white Europeans or American
⛔️Saying that Jews are Khazars
⛔️Supporting Hamas/"resistance"
⛔️October 7-style murder/rape sprees
Things that will free Palestinians:
✅Successfully negotiating for peace with Israel
"A Letter To America" is an unhinged antisemitic rant where bin Laden spews nonsense about "Jewish control" of capitalism and American foreign policy.
The Tik Tok clowns sharing it are antisemites who have been radicalised into hating Jews.
