Your favorite autistic bi-oriented aroace genderqueer. Naturalist Aldo Leopold once called the chickadee a small bundle of large enthusiasms. SAME.

@bahargulzade @Lightenyourhai1 @jvgraz @LGAustinDavis can't help but notice that the statement never addresses why they'd need to call as many people as possible together, on bikes, to boycott anyone.

their arguments only work if you don't look for evidence of anything they're talking about, or have any context.

[Dani S. @danican]

If you claim that everyone involved wants Palestinian kids to be sniped, it becomes WAY easier to get people to do that.

oh cool they're actually planning to do it TWICE. that should go well

[Dani S. @danican]

lmao the op of the post this was replying to blocked me for pointing out that everyone in the movement uses different definitions of "zionism," which have nothing to do with what a self-described "zionist" means. and that this lets people justify all kinds of harassment.

[5G de Paine @paine_degree]

@eakinsovaltine @samsutliff "Hardcore Zionist" means she supports IDF sniping Palestinian kids.

[Dani S. @danican]

The context is the "boycott ride" scheduled for the 8th, in Philly. It's gotten a lot of attention bc boycotting doesn't usually involve organizing a crowd to bike around to each business; and no one can think of a reason to do that besides harassment or worse.

[Dani S. @danican]

@paine_degree @eakinsovaltine @samsutliff "Hardcore Zionist" doesn't mean she supports sniping Palestinian kids. Nobody supports sniping Palestinian kids. Nobody IS sniping Palestinian kids; that's disinformation spread to justify harassing Jews *instead of doing anything for Gaza.*

[Dani S. @danican]

@paine_degree @eakinsovaltine @samsutliff #1 lets everyone unite around the general belief that there's something called Zionism and it's evil. Without noticing they're often opposing different things.

#2 is way more important. It lets people justify harassment, vandalism, all kinds of things.

[Dani S. @danican]

@samsutliff My dude, boycotts do not involve bicycles. EVERYTHING it says - but especially "boycott ride" - is because the call was for people to gather en masse and bike around to all these businesses. Which implies harassment.

i immediately want this to be a PSA campaign demanding that people start fact-checking their posts.

everybody stop being confidently wrong on the internet! Jenny Boylan commands you!!

She’s gone.

Our 4th pediatrician since 2020 is gone.

There was no warning, she just got sicker & sicker every time we saw her, & then she was gone. No warning, no notification.

You may not realise it, but the way your country is dealing with Covid is not the way the other countries are dealing with Covid.

I'd like to write a thread on it, but may I crowdsource some information?

Can you answer these questions for your country?

[Alden Jones @aldenejones]

Yes, college students have lost their ability to read. I have taught lit for 24 years; the threshold started to decline in the late aughts and nosedived during Covid. A thread with observations + how I get my students to read ALL (or at least most) of the reading I assign: 🧵

My background is crisis management and Communications. I’ve been saying for weeks that what we need to beat. Trump is a bigger circus than the clown show he brings. But here is something else. I need people to understand. In order to win his game we have to play. There are rules.

[Dani S. @danican]

This is why people should be fact-checking everything they read, ESPECIALLY about the war. Everything is absolutely riddled with misinformation. And people feel totally justified in lying about any and all of it.

I don't even speak Hebrew. I just asked r/Hebrew to translate.

[Dani S. @danican]

Bro has almost 12k retweets on this boldfaced lie.

The original IG post says the kids asked what the signs said, and she told them "Proud of you."

The signs are Israeli slang for "fuck 'em UP," as in, "Give 'em hell, honey." She's telling her husband to fuck HAMAS up.

[Dan Cohen @dancohen3000]

The wife of an Israeli soldier slaughtering in Gaza dressed their children up with military berets and signs written with the words "Fuck them".

Zionists inculcate genocidal ideology into their children from the earliest ages. The sickness is the system.

[Dani S. @danican]

@dancohen3000 But also: as the only person who posted this to Twitter, you probably grabbed it from the Instagram source.

If so, you're lying and you know it. The caption on the original specifically says the kids asked what the signs said, and their mom told them "Proud of you."

[Dani S. @danican]

@dancohen3000 Bro, you're translating this too literally. In Israel, this means "fuck 'em up," the same way Americans say "give 'em hell." She's telling her husband to give Hamas hell.

Adding to this, the surge in respiratory illnesses in kids started in farther north of #China, but latest record-breaking is in Beijing. And it's unprecedented in scale.

Northern China is seeing record levels of pediatric hospitalizations, as a mix of respiratory diseases sends 10s of 1000s of kids to ERs. Experts insist that no COVID or new pathogen are involved. Still, 13,000 children admitted in a single day is serious. https://t.co/YgyWSwZFhR
