@Npars01 @QasimRashid On a side note, I’d like to know who’s boycotting the NYT. Surely the younger generations aren’t (literally) buying into it, and if you lose them, you lose advertisers.

@AlisonCreekside I’m losing track of the levels of cover up. Is it quadruple? Quintuple? More? The soldiers that posted and/or knew about it, the COs of the regiment, the military legal staff at the Judge Advocate General’s office, and the military police that handed the investigation right back into the Cameron Highlanders’ hands? That allegedly none of these parties except whistleblowers informed CAF Commander Wright?
Multilevel dishonour.
They don’t deserve that blue hackle.

Perhaps an investigation into CAF soldiers posting about Jews and rape and f*gs alongside photos of their genitals should not be handed off to a reserve officer from the very same regiment after being passed over by the commander, the military police, and the JAG.👀

Army commander was kept in the dark about Ottawa soldiers’ 'abhorrent' Facebook group

Lt.-Gen. Michael Wright said he didn’t know about the Blue Hackle Mafia until he was asked about it by the Ottawa Citizen.

@artemis

men will burn everything to the ground before they hire a qualified therapist and become better humans

women owe men NOTHING - not a smile, not a conversation, not attention, not a date, for sure not sex, not marriage, NOTHING

dear men,
grow up, adapt just like the rest of us, become self-sufficient and stop requiring all women to be your mommy, your cook and your housekeeper

feel free to share that with your brother....yikes

RIP Mark Snow. He's probably best-known for creating The X-Files theme, but my favorite of his work was the music for a little-known movie called "Jake Speed."

One thing I've learned:

If you're deeply questioning whether or not you may be able to apply a certain label to yourself... you can, pretty much all of the time.

You think you might be trans? You are.

You think you might be a furry? Join the club!

You think you might be a dragon? Heck yeah, be one with me!!

You think you might be gay? That's a yes.

Embrace labels that help you define who you are. They can sometimes vary in definition, but if you feel it can apply to you, use it! Not only will it help you, it'll help others identify with you and maybe make you some new friends, or help you find people to help guide you along your path of discovery.

Your experiences and life are yours. Feel free to experiment and see what works best for you! You're allowed to change your mind later!

@APBBlue I’m seeing that the co-washing trend is excellent for improving the texture of cuts like yours, without trimming.

@APBBlue yes it is. My mom used to do something magical by adding some celery seeds and a dash of sugar, but by then it was elevated beyond coleslaw. Must look through her cookbooks for that recipe.

By the way, this article I wrote for Pride Month on queer dating apps is also applicable to anyone using any dating apps.

I highly recommend a read if
you are currently using a dating app,
or have been in the past and have not deleted your data and account yet:

Queer Dating Apps: Beware Who You Trust With Your Intimate Data

At the intersection of data privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences, it's inevitable to talk about queer dating apps. Unfortunately, most are horrible for data privacy.

The difference between Gaza & Auschwitz is that the world still has an opportunity to stop the ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

#gaza #auschwitz #ethniccleansing

Show threadBl4ckst4rJun 29

@smlx4 no, like almost any comparison with auschwitz it’s just antisemitic to do this one, but why:

Auschwitz whole purpose became the annihilation of human (mostly yewish) life. Gaza is a war zone in which the blockade of food is heavily restricted by the IDF which leads to malnutrition of its inhabitants (in their military logic they try to establish their own non UN food distribution systems since UNRWA is embedded with Hamas and since they steal the aid and sell it to the gazan population etc.. It is an unrealistic and inhumane logic by the IDF, if you ask me, but as well it is the tactic of hamas to produce human suffering among the gazans to use their suffering as weapon against Israel).

There are many historic examples of populations on the brink of starvation because of war (that’s why war is a crime against humanity in itself). The Yemeni civil war comes to mind as a recent example (in which one side backed by the Saudis as well were strongly militarily equipped by the west). But than we couldn’t alter the past of Jewish suffering and its significance in todays world couldn’t we?

@Bl4ckst4r @smlx4 What’s going on in Gaza is getting rid of the troublesome Palestinians which by IDF definition is all Palestinians. There is a clear comparison between this and what the Jews’ experienced in WWII, is not fair to the Palestinians, and lets the IDF off the hook for the genocide claim. Was this your intent? The worst aspect of this is when the Jewish descendants of World War II Holocaust victims became the monsters that previously persecuted them.

@Huntn00 @Bl4ckst4r What happened at Auschwitz must never be forgotten or explained away. Israel’s goal is to destroy as many civilians as possible, with a focus on children, according to countless Israelis who’s spoken freely without the slightest shame or remorse. As long as the US & other nations turn a blind eye, Netanyahu & his assassins in the cabinet will get away with the genocide that’s taking place.

@Huntn00 @Bl4ckst4r The International Court of Justice in The Hague has also been involved, which has led to Netanyahu now facing potential legal consequences.
As a result, several countries have imposed travel bans on Netanyahu & other senior Israeli officials. They could be denied entry to countries that have expressed strong criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Travel & trade restrictions have also been discussed in various international forums.

@smlx4 @Huntn00 @Bl4ckst4r it just pisses me off the asshole fucking goes for the buzziest of fucking buzzwords not even 3 sentences in.

"Antisemitism" is not a word...its a weapon, a weapon to silence people that are calling out atrocities...

Show threadBl4ckst4rJul 1

@Noortjevee @smlx4 @Huntn00 sadly it isn't just a word, but a ideology that has killed millions and threatens millions to be killed and like almost all "-isms" in christian and muslim influenced societies it is sadly part of our collective unconscious (like racism and sexism) and needs activ reflection to get rid of.

But yes, as well the accusation of antisemitism has been utilised to turn down valid criticism against Israel, which is in itself antisemitic (meaning its mere utilisation).

@Huntn00 @Bl4ckst4r The worst thing is that in the meantime the slaughter continues unabated. And, who could have imagined that Jewish descendants of Holocaust victims would become the monsters & devils they have so clearly portrayed.

@smlx4 @Huntn00 sadly there are many examples in history that being a victim of horros doesn't make you a better person per se, but sadly too, the biggest and broadest supporters of Netanjahu's "government" ("regime" rather) are coming from the sephardic jews of Israel not of the ashkenazic jews, so rather of those who were expelled from the arabic countries in the 40s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world), than of those who have fled before, during or after the Shoa from Europe.

@Bl4ckst4r @smlx4 its not antisimetic to compare people being deliberatly starved and then killed when food does arrive...
Show threadBl4ckst4rJul 1
@Noortjevee @smlx4 of course it isn't but it isn't happening in the same systematic logic and scale and therefore it isn't comparable. Or rather we can describe the hell of being in Gaza without the needless comparison with the Shoa

The comparison is not needles...

By saying it is you trivialize atrocities. Saying "its not as bad" when it is kinda worse....

@smlx4 Auschwitz was probably 6 years, and the Allies (sort of) defeated Nazi Germany. Palestine has been 78 years, and the Allies have aided and abetted the ethnic cleansing - and genocide of - the true inhabitants of this ancient land, by the usurpers that they put in place.
