Honestly When People Complain About Things Like Boycotting The Oscars, Grammys, Superbowl, Eurovision

if you don't think ai "art" and i use that term very loosely isn't dangerous, just remember that there are fake nudes of celebrities and there was an ai made ad running in the superbowl while Rafah was being bombed to the nines.

y'all realize that instead of using ai for good, people are using it to fabricate lies, to steal from, humiliate and dehumanise others, right? right.

so don't ever come on my blog chirping high praises about c.ai or ai generated images. not when fanfic writers and small time artists are getting less and less appreciation for their hard work while "c.ai inspired" fics and "ai generated" images are taking all the spotlight (when they really shouldn't because it's been stolen). not when writers are being put out of jobs. not when voice actors aren't being taken seriously and are also being put out of jobs. not when artists' work is being stolen and being mass produced into soulless pictures. not when a dead artist's work should be left alone but some dude put their unfinished project(s) into an ai art generator to finish their project when it, again, as i've just said, should've been left the fuck alone. not when people (regular people and celebrities alike) are having fake nudes of their pictures being put out there for the world to see without their knowledge and consent.

and especially not when governments are paying millions of dollars to make ai generated ads about "bringing dads home" while dads (and moms, sons, daughters, their pets and their plants) are being senselessly killed.

so no. i don't wanna hear shit about ai. not until we stop killing our own humanity with it and claiming that it's good.

Yesterday, Palestinian and solidarity organizers disrupted a Biden campaign event 14 times during his speech on the protection of women's rights. These activists called out hypocrisy because Biden and his administration are actively causing a reproductive care catastrophe in Gaza.

50,000 pregnant women do not have access to healthcare in Gaza, and C-sections are being performed without anesthesia. Women and children in Gaza are being killed by U.S.-made and supplied bombs.

[ID: Transcription of what the protesters are saying, while security personnel try to get them out:

Israel kills two mothers every hour in Gaza. Ceasefire now! End the genocide! Ceasefire!

Women in Gaza are being murdered. Killing people in Gaza is a war crime. You are a war criminal.

Stop funding genocide! Ceasefire now!

50,000 pregnant women don't have healthcare. Their blood is on your hands. Ceasefire!

Ceasefire now! Stop funding genocide! Gaza is a reproductive issue.

Free, free Palestine!

it's really bleak to think about bisan winning a peabody and now an emmy tonight for her reporting like yeah with one hand the american elite are giving her awards for her fearlessness and bravery in the face of unspeakable horror and with the other hand the american elite are the ones sending the bombs and the rest of american journalism and media as a field are constantly actively manufacturing consent for the genocide that forces her to keep getting in front of a camera to say it's bisan from gaza and i'm still alive. something something liberals don't believe in politics anymore just in bearing witness to suffering, except the suffering is something they are actively creating. just horrific dystopian shit

Medical Aid

Palestine Red Crescent Society: Provides emergency medical and ambulance services and humanitarian relief on the ground in Gaza e.g. rescuing and treating the wounded.

The reason the number of women and children killed by Israel tends to be higher and remains significant is due to the fact that with the ongoing displacement, families tend to move in together, making the number of people sheltering together reach 30 or 40 people at times.

With that, the men of these families tend to let women and children take shelter during the night inside apartments and houses when available, knowing they provide more relative warmth and comfort, while men tend to seek shelter for the night elsewhere, usually in tents in open areas. This means that when Israel deliberately strikes homes during the night, the inevitable consequence is that the overwhelming majority of the people killed or injured will in fact be women and children.

Israel knows this and continues to deliberately strike homes, most of the time also knowing the exact number of people sheltering inside and even their ages. Women and children are not "collateral damage", they are specific targets that Israel had long deemed eligible, starting the day these women and children were born Palestinian.
