HAUNTED HILLS v0.2 is out! Now with a spooky new logo. 🎃 Life's been a but hectic the last few months, so the update is small, but it features most of what I'd been showing off this month. Happy Halloween! Modrinth download below 👇

You're appalled by the cover ups you've learned about, right? Epstein, WMDs, climate denial, acid rain, leaded petrol, asbestos, smoking and cancer, thalidomide, BSE, opioids, PFAS. Each time they told you it was all fine and you should go about your business because everything's ok, when it obviously wasn't. So why on earth do you believe the same people when they tell you that repeat Covid infections are harmless, when they're obviously not?

My mom got Covid from a friend she was traveling with and who had no symptoms at the time. She got home and didn't have symptoms for 2 days before we tested her and she was positive. Asymptomatic transmission counts for over 45% of all infections. Mask up!!!

Such a deep loss of a powerful human, voice, and advocate. 😔💔 Please consider donating to the GFM if you can. gofundme.com/f/lleeiii

@EdwardAshanti This is what goes through my mind when people talk about how insurmountably messed up the world feels right now and end off with "guess all we can do is live our best lives while we still can 😔..."

A lot of you fantasise about lifestyles that include the oppression of others as long as it isn’t you. A lot of you would be on the wrong side of history if it weren’t for your identities.

💥 If you read one thing today, make it this story by Italian journalist Lorenzo D’Agostino — captured aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla: beaten, blindfolded, mocked with homophobic slurs, and held half-naked in freezing vans and scorching cells. According to D’Agostino and multiple accounts, Israeli forces subjected Greta to severe cruelty, forcing her to crawl and kiss the Israeli flag. “They did exactly what the Nazis did,” said Ersin Çelik, a member of the Global Sumud Flotilla. They publicly humiliated her and targeted her specifically because she’s a well-known figure. It appears that the Italian state, government, and parts of the Church tried to stop the Flotilla not to prevent an armed clash with Netanyahu, but to avoid the media exposure of a country increasingly radicalized and indefensible — except through repressive laws — and to suppress reports of egregious human rights violations. "We were intercepted at 1:58 a.m. on Thursday. On my boat, the Hio, part of the Global Sumud Flotilla mission, five Israeli soldiers boarded with rifles pointed at us, lasers aimed. Exactly one month after our departure from Barcelona. On board, the soldiers allowed us to go to the bathroom, eat, drink, and smoke. Then they redirected the boat toward the port of Ashdod. We stayed moored for a couple of hours. Before letting us disembark, one soldier wanted to speak to our captain: “My friend, my friend, listen to me, you’ll like this one: when dwarfs cast long shadows, it means the sun is low.” That was the last thing he said. As we disembarked, someone from the other boats shouted, “The police will be worse.” As soon as I stepped onto land, an officer grabbed my arm, twisting it behind my back to cause maximum pain. They made us sit on the ground, on a concrete esplanade. Greta Thunberg was wrapped in the Israeli flag like a war trophy. They sat her in a corner; officers surrounded her, taking selfies. Then they turned on another girl, Hanan, forcing her to sit in front of the flag so she’d have to look at it. They kicked people, ordered us to lower our heads and look at the ground — anyone who looked up was forced to kneel. An older activist wet himself. Anything associated with Palestine was ripped away, thrown to the ground, and trampled. They tore bracelets off everyone’s wrists; one girl was dragged because hers wouldn’t break. It wasn’t even the Palestinian flag — it was Somali. We stayed on the concrete for hours. They asked for Italian passports and took us through immigration control. There they opened our bags: anything linked to Palestine was thrown in the trash. When they found a copy of the Quran in my bag, they went berserk — convinced I was Muslim. For two hours, every officer passing by mocked me. In my toiletry bag they found pink wet wipes and laughed, saying “you’re a woman.” They slapped each other’s backs, amused. After border control, they forced us to strip down to our underwear. We went through two interrogations — only one with a lawyer present. They asked if we wanted to be deported. Then came the announcement: we were going to jail. That’s when Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s Minister of National Security, arrived. He came to Ashdod to make sure we were treated as terrorists. He screamed it at us — that we were terrorists. Right in front of him, the police wanted to show their zeal: they blindfolded us and tightened plastic handcuffs around our wrists until they cut into the skin. They loaded us into an armored vehicle wearing only light shirts. The air conditioning was blasting; it was freezing. A Scottish boy managed to loosen his cuffs and, with help from an Italian named Marco, released the others. When we saw the others getting off, their hands were purple. Some had been tied since the interception — traveling to prison with their hands bound from 2 a.m. to 4 p.m. (1/2)

This is why I am 100% anti generative AI. Do not tag that shit in my mentions. Do not pretend it’s useful. Do not feed it information

All these people post different variations of "stay vigilant" and "stay safe out there!" and then proceed to go out and do neither of those things.

Actually the hardest thing in adulthood is fighting the apathy. It’s so easy to just not do things with your life

The pandemic normalised eugenics. It normalised the treatment of individuals as being worth no more than ants.

the whole fucking world is like we all have brain fog! you need to balance your hormones or eat more fiber with dinner or swap out cardio for yoga or be KIND to yourself! whatever you do, do NOT stop mainlining a virus that causes brain fog on. don’t even try to prevent it

“We have to learn to live with COVID. It’s not going away.” NEVER meant “it’s OK to drop all protections and get it four times per year.” It meant that the mitigations and precautions need to stay in place to protect yourself in perpetuity.

Boosting here, too. Give them a hand if you can!

One of the most dangerous perceptions we see with long covid and many other mass disabling events is the idea that only "high risk" people need to worry about it. By establishing an "other" who can be disregarded, the state manufactures consent of harm.

hey y’all the heat is making my health dramatically worse, I was able to book 2 nights in a row but I need to extend my reservation bc in the 4 hours between reservations yesterday I fainted from the heat. I am the proud owner of $40 right now

@YouAreLobbyLud Here's one of the longest-running SARS-CoV-2 wastewater series (red line)—San Jose, CA. It shows the reality underneath the terms "during the pandemic" and "post-pandemic". The public is totally divorced from this reality.

Oh look, tech company emissions are already up 150%, and the AI data center build out has just gotten started.
