I just want to say that out of the +7,028 Palestinians killed, only 13 members of hamas are estimated to have died. The point is, if after all this time you still believe israel is “defending” itself or is targeting hamas then you’re not even ignorant you’re cruel and you support genocide.

I think there’s something to be said for the fact that I used to dread presentations when I was younger but now plan to go out of my way to sign myself up for them so I can improve my public speaking. Me from not even two years ago would’ve never. But now ?? The more the merrier let me at them

how to keep following people when a major social platform implodes

(…and you don’t want to join 20 new websites)

First, get an RSS reader*:

You’ll be able to make a custom feed to follow blogs, webcomics, social media feeds, podcasts, news, and other stuff on the web all in one place. To follow something, find its “feed URL”– often marked by an icon that looks like this ↓– and paste it into your reader of choice as a new feed.

Some feed URLs for social media:

  • Twitter: Feedbro can use Twitter profile URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, use nitter.net/username/rss (or other Nitter instance) (You can get a CSV file of all the accounts you follow using “Download a user’s friends list” on Tweetbeaver)
  • Tumblr: Use username.tumblr.com/rss or username.tumblr.com/tagged/my%20art/rss to follow a blog’s “my art” tag (as an example)
  • Cohost: Use username.cohost.org/rss/public (WIP feature)
  • Mastodon: Use instance.url/@­username.rss
  • Deviantart: Info here
  • Spacehey: Info here
  • Youtube: Go to a channel in a web browser, view page source, and use Ctrl-F/Command-F to find a link that starts with “https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=
  • Instagram: Feedbro can use Instagram profile and hashtag URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, Instagram doesn’t have RSS feeds, and due to aggressive rate limiting on their part, it’s not so simple to generate a feed URL.
  • Facebook: Feedbro can use public Facebook group/page URLs as feed URLs.

(If you know an artist who exclusively posts to Instagram, you may want to gently suggest that they crosspost elsewhere…)

Also see how to find the RSS feed URL for almost any site. Try using public RSS-Bridge instances or Happyou Final Scraper to generate feeds for sites that don’t have them (Pillowfort, Patreon, etc).

*You can set up your subscriptions in one reader and import them into another by exporting an OPML file.

This!

RSS feeds were a great way to keep track of things before the rise of the platforms, and (if we’re smart) they’ll be great again.

i’m trying to post a long list of informational resources on palestine and tumblr simply will not let me

is there a limit to how many links you can put on one post? it just says there’s a “problem”

testing with one link

testing with two more

testing with three more


and the rest:

my intention in posting all these is as follows: i love everyone standing in genuine solidarity with palestine, but some of you are really uninformed and thus your talking points suck shit and you don’t know how to respond to the most basic, common lies about palestine and palestinians–sorry for being harsh, but it’s true. if you want your advocacy to be better, please actually know the basics of how this whole “situation” functions. the imeu has put together a lot of fact sheets^ that can help you get a basic understanding. note that these are all at least a few years old and not about extremely recent developments, like the current crisis, updated numbers on the population of west bank settlements, etc.
