whatever you do, do NOT criticize Israel and it's ongoing holocaust on Palestinians. the Mastodon Community Standards Gestapo will smack you ever so hard on your pee-pee and it will hurt. and lead to some confusion as to what the fuck it was that got you censored in the first place.

The Democratic establishment and Israel lobby are seeking to destroy the political career of Rep. Jamaal Bowman because he dared to criticize the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. And many liberals are joining right in.

Has anyone ever used the term "diminished perceptive filtering?

I just thought of it (or subconsciously picked it up somewhere, I dunno) and I think it makes sense to my experience. I don't believe I necessarily have heightened sensory sensitivity, it's more about not being able to adjust my levels of perception that well. Thoughts?

Can you blame them?

They know that the words of US and Israel is not even worth a dog fart so they want to sign an agreement with international backers in order to have some kind of guarantees. Not that any of those countries will lift a finger to help the Palestinians when (not if, but when) Israel breaks the agreement.

Does anyone else have surging electric?

I thought somebody had changed a light bulb in my bathroom, but it was just stronger electric. It explains why my air conditioner and refrigerator intermittently grind and chug up and down.

I'm in a residential hotel, and chalking it up to extra draw from somebody earlier in the circuit. Like when the people downstairs take a shower, mine gets colder.

Israeli deadly ; The new weapon of the regime in the Gaza war

During the genocidal war and non-stop aggressive attacks against the Gaza strip, the IDF soldiers use remote-controlled robots that are used to perform various military missions such as reconnaissance, imaging, search and explosion.

During the recent attacks on the camp, the IDF widely used explosive robots; Especially in places where it was not possible to enter due to the intensity of the resistance.

Lyrics:
The people they won’t leave
What is threatening
about divesting and wanting peace?
The problem isn’t the protests
it’s what they’re protesting
Cause it goes against
what our country is funding
Block the barricade until Palestine is free
Block the barricade until Palestine is free
When I was 7 I learned a lesson
from Cube and Eazy E
What was it again?
oh yea
fuck the police
Actors in badges
protecting property
And a system that was designed
by white supremacy
But the people are in the streets
You can pay off meta
you can’t pay off me
Politicians who serve by any means
AIPAC, CUFI and all the companies
You see we sell fear around the land of the free
But this generation here
is about to cut the strings

You can ban tik Tok
take us out the algothim
But it’s too late
we’ve seen the truth we bare witness
We’ve seen the ruble the buildings
the mothers the children
And all the men that you murdered
and then we see how they spin it

Who gets to the right to defend
and who gets the right of resistance
Has always been about dollars
and the color of your pigment
But
White supremacy is finally on blast
Screaming free Palestine
until they’re home at last

We see the lies in them
Claiming it’s anti-semetic
to be anti-zionist
I’ve seen jewish brothers and sisters out there and riding
In solidarity and screaming
free Palestine with em
Organizing, unlearning
and finally cutting ties with a
State
that’s gotta rely on an apartheid system
To uphold an occupying violent
History been repeating for the last 75
The Nakba never ended,
the colonizer lied

If some kids in tents,
posted on the lawn
occupying the quad
is really against the law
And a reason to call
in the police and their squad
where does genocide land
in your definition huh?
destroying every college in Gaza and every mosque
pushing everyone into rafah and dropping bombs
The blood is on your hands Biden,
we can see it all
And fuck no
I’m not voting for you in the fall

Undecided,
you can’t twist the truth
The people out here
united
never be defeated when Freedom’s on the
horizon
Yet the music industry’s quiet
complicit in their platform of silence

What happened to the artist
what do you got to say?
If I was on a label,
you could drop me today
And be fine with it
cause the heart fed my page
I want a ceasefire
fuck a response from drake

What you willing to risk?
What you willing to give?
What if you were Gaza?
what if those were your kids?
If the west was pretending that you didn’t exist
You’d want the world to stand up
And the students finally did
Let’s get it

Doctor suggested I have but I don't think I do because:
I am able to force myself to do things even if I'm not interested in it.
I do not like spontaneity.
When I have a deadline, I cannot leave it to the last minute or anxiety would cripple me.
But I do struggle to pay attention unless am hyperfocused. And I do have executive function challenges. And I have to have a project. And I crave dopamine hits.

Is it ok that I’m really grumpy today about not being accepted as I am?

I mean, I went to a uni event where there were loads of surplus support staff who are meant to be trained to help people there, identify sunflower lanyards etc. I wore my sunflower lanyard which even has pins stating I have an invisible disability, am neurodivergent and a spoonie…

But still it felt like battling uphill to get help and understanding when I needed it.

Why is it so goddamned hard?!

I am so tired of trying to fit in, but now already tired of feeling like a purple sheep (not even a well-known “black” sheep type, but some other obscure variant that no one understands).

I’m so tired of being alone in this with no one to go through it with.

I’m venting.

I know the Actually Autistic community get this and you’re out there.

I just feel very isolated from the right type of people I need to be around sometimes.

Hoping this is a phase. Hoping it’s just a mix of “oh shit my degree is almost done” and final coursework & exam stresses… and knowing my younger student peer friends couldn’t give a shit that they probably won’t see me ever again and just broke their word about meeting up in April. They will all move away and forget me, I already know that because I already tried uni several times before and experienced it every time. Just so tired of being alone and forgotten.

All these broken promises about caring. It’s hard to take it all on board sometimes.

Vent over.

Criminal nexus in the open

At UCLA, looks like State goons shot someone in the face, in additional brutalising the rest of students violently.

Despite me being a pessimist (largely due to the stuff I read & experiences of others I personally heard in real life), I assumed they would start blood letting little later once they find a more opportune time (thru instigation & rest of tactics they have at their disposal), as only a day before they exposed themselves as an extension of fascist thuggery, but no, they realised its an opportunity to start attacking students right away. They are making me look like an optimist.

In essence, they sent the fascist goons to attack the day before, so they can come prepared to attack themselves a day later.

State–Capital–Fascist nexus is materialising sooner than we expect.

Fascism never dies a silent death. Capital never dies a silent death. State never dies a silent death
