really easy to figure this out:

someone is asking you for money on the street. they could be about to go spend it on drugs or they could use it to feed their kids. you cannot ask them what they're going to do with it.

do you give them the money.

my answer is yes. yours might differ. whatever
I really appreciate the legwork that went into this article. Absolutely, there are real Gazans who really exist, who are just trying to protect their families. (Also, I remember your blog from way back. ❤️)

There is a "however" coming, but I hope a constructive one.

there's like, nothing by South Africans on here and it's real lonely

and we're not even in a war-zone or a disaster area that requires community awareness, or anything
the absolute dearth of qts mentioning that certain global topics--Palestine, Congo, Sudan, etc.--are underrepresented here compared to twitter is sorta

indicative of how america-centered this app is

yall have somehow turned which website/app you log into to microblog into a culture war
I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

I keep feeling puzzled by the dissonance of people 'fighting Nazis' by creating a small echo chamber of mostly white voices, but I think that's the reason

they haven't even noticed the lack of diversity on here, that much of the world is simply missing

Musk is vile, racist, and manipulates X — which I've largely stopped using myself

but most of the accounts and conversations from Africa and India which I used to follow there simply never moved elsewhere as a result —

there are quite different regional dynamics, outside this narrow bubble

yall know that people can still receive money from tellers in gaza and that all the food that's already in the place doesn't just POOF disappear when a blockade occurs, right?

in fact, what happens is the food already there becomes even more expensive! because there's a blockade!

amazing aint it

If anyone whines that we "self-segregated ourselves from X" and "aren't in the conversation anymore," feel free to show them this screenshot of my "For You" tab.

I'm so glad it's not just me. I feel bad for posting updates about Sudan here because it feels like I'm "harshing the vibe" (and being new with very limited reach is frustrating). I'm not sure if it's worth being here...

from @aljazeera.com on twitter: Video shows the moment an ambulance crew was directly shot at by Israeli soldiers in Nuseirat, #Gaza. Hours earlier, a group of journalists were reportedly targeted by an Israeli quadcopter in the same area.

BREAKING: Autonomous anti-genocide activists bring the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to a grinding halt after blockading the McDonald’s float for a second year in a row.

“Those grinches who thinks they can disrupt the parade: it’s not going to happen,” Mayor Eric Adams said yesterday.
