Tumblr @staff have been silent about the use of this site by white nationalist bloggers, while numerous other sites (see this post) have made actions to ban nazis/white nationalists/”alt-right”/fascists. Tumblr needs to know their lack of action is unacceptable. I love my tumblr community and want to stay, but if this continues, I will have to considering leaving.
I suggest we push back, and unite to boycott on a certain date. I’m arbitrarily suggesting September 1st – it’s nine days from this post, and that gives it enough time to hopefully get spread as far as possible. Boycotts only work if lots of people do it. Please consider joining me and logging off tumblr on September 1st, to let them know we’re serious about their apathy towards white nationalism.
Great idea.
Let’s also let @staff know that as they’re trying to increase advertiser spend, they should be well-aware of most ad tech companies (on the buy and sell side) have explicit rules against hate speech. You can tell Tumblr is aware of this because they’ve doubled-down on trying to locate the NSFW posts (quite badly based on how their technology fails so often) for what I imagine is brand safety for advertisers.
Given groups like Sleeping Giants has been successful in amplifying the voices of users protesting brands appearing on Breitbart, any other platform could be next in having their advertisers signaled with a screenshot of said posts where hate speech is proudly displayed against an ad served… well, you get the drift.
1.) Boycott
2.) Screenshot and tweet, byeeeeee
this is the one thing that might have an effect. all our @staff and emails and million-note posts don’t do shit, so hit ‘em where it hurts – their wallets.
one day – no posts, no replies, no hits. stay off tumblr. September 1st.

Legit Health Stuff – Donations
So. I ended up in the hospital for a week, with pneumonia from aspirating liquid into my lungs. (Either a seizure thing or sleep apnea.)
Was just released today. Scared shitless by the whole ordeal (almost ended up on life support at one point). Tired.
I have lots of medications to pay for. Gonna need a taxi to get places. Still haven’t bought a new phone after my old one died and missed a ton of work due to being sick. Don’t know when I’m going to feel well enough to jump back into it, and don’t even want to think about it.
If you’ve considered a small donation in the past, know that now would be an incredible time. Please. PLEASE don’t send hate or criticism right now. I have been very sick.
please consider donating to meg, the last few days have been nightmarish with me and her other online friends totally unable to contact her, ended up calling hospitals near her until we found out where she was.
we need her better!!!
(and to reiterate what meg said if you send hate/criticism rn i am a mod on her blog too so will delete it immediately as well as you being a disgusting person)
any white at a protest who tries to go against police and deliberately provoke a response from them is not to be trusted and does not have the safety of black and brown people in mind.
there is a good chance that they are police too. if anyone, especially a white dude, ever randomly gets your attention and conspiratorially tries to convince you to jump a police officer, then dude is a cop. They have been using this technique and script for at least 30 years.
Check their fucking shoes. They’re always too afraid that their little toesies will be hurt so they’ll usually still be rocking the exact same boots as the guys on the other side. This was what gave the cops away when they provoked riots in Toronto a while back.
@talesofalamia, remember when I pointed out the shoes of the two well-dressed informants near us?
Similar note: IME, unmarked cruisers have five distinguishing traits:
1. They’re one of the department-issue models.
2. They’re always white, black, or dark blue.
3. They always look like they just rolled out of a car wash.
4. Usually rocking restricted plates.
5. Most reliable if present but hardest to spot: Their mirrors are bulkier, to fit the light rigs in.In Austin the under cover officer that tried to convince me to set a cop car on fire had a convincing fake beard.
Be careful out there and read up on common tactics used against protestors before going.
You can usually see the stealth lights if you look into the grill.
Besides the old obvious as fuck Crown Victoria, be suspicious of 2013+ Ford Taurus and Explorer, 2006+ Dodge Charger and Dakota, 06-13 Chevy Impala, 11+ Chevy Caprice and both the Tahoe and Suburban.
Look for oversize mirrors, plugs on the roof and/or A pillar, lights inside the grill, extraneous lights inside the headlight assembly, lights tucked up behind the rear view mirror, steel wheels with or without wheel covers, and plugs or short antennas on the trunk lid.
Reblogging this for two reasons: 1. So people who have reason to be afraid of the police (which is pretty much anyone with significant melanin) see it. 2. Uh, good writer reference for describing undercover cop cars…
Teacher Accused Of Punching Neo-Nazi Says Standing Up To Fascism Isn’t A Crime
Emergency Commissions are now open!
I’m buying a house and I’m currently unemployed so I need to get some commissions done that aren’t too overwhelming for me and I find character busts the easiest. I’m charging (£22 GBP) which is roughly ($28 USD)
I know I flaked out on my last set of commissions and only got half of them completed, I got a job the week after I put the post out, so I was unexpectedly too busy and overwhelmed to do them and I’m SO sorry if I let anyone down. I know I’m unreliable so I never charge anything until I’ve completed your order. I’ll ask you what you want, draw it and show you a small preview and then ask for payment via paypal if you are happy with it.
my email and paypal is jemsy_bop@hotmail.co.uk but I’d prefer to chat on here.
you can see more examples of my art here
I’m going to take 5 commissions and I’ll update here

Really quick, in case anyone else is protesting and needs last minute advice
Protest resources:
- Don’t touch your face if you are teargassed
- Run against the wind
- Don’t keep too much distance from the police – they can’t tear gas you if you’re too close
- Don’t rub your eyes or wash your face with water – use milk, coke, or alcohol
- If you can’t run, cover your face and breathe slowly
- Alcohol-based perfume or hairspray on a scarf counteracts teargas (source)
- How to escape zipties
- How to build a teargas mask
- Your rights as a protester and what to do if you are arrested
This is all I have at the moment please add more links if you have any and/or correct mine as needed. Be safe.
LINKS TO DONATE TO DIRECTLY SUPPORT CHARLOTTESVILLE
I am a citizen of Charlottesville, Virginia. Today (August 12th, 2017) and yesterday (August 11th, 2017) our city saw violent and chaotic rallies by Nazis and white supremacists. Counter-protesters, many of them students of the University of Virginia, which is here in this city, met the Nazi rallies bravely. People have been injured and arressted. People threw bottles filled with cement or urine, and mace and tear gas filled the air. A state of emergency was declared, and store owners nearby cited having police in riot gear blocking the doors of their buildings.
If you wish to donate to directly support protesters, citizens, and minority students at the University of Virginia, here are four links for you.
Solidarity Cville Anti-Racist Legal Fund
The Charlottesville Chapter of the NAACP’s PayPal
UVA’s Donation Page for their Black Student Alliance
These are all links in which the money is guaranteed to directly go towards helping Charlottesville citizens specifically, whether through legal fees, or through raising support and awareness for the minority members of our community. I especially recommend choosing either the Solidarity Cville Fund or the Black Student Alliance’s donation page.
Thank you for all the support being sent our city’s way. #DEFENDCVILLE

JESSICA CHOU Has A YouTube Channel Teaching Women About Basic Vehicle Maintenance
This is quite an interesting YouTube channel concept, and it shows that … Asian chicks kick ass! JESSICA CHOU is a young Asian American woman who has a YouTube channel which basically teaches other girls and women about how to fix their car.
“I think we don’t see as many female mechanics because the industry is still so heavily dominated by men. When we think of a mechanic, we think of men. When we see ads or posters of mechanics, we see men. When we see shows about cars, we see men. It will take a long time to change all of this, but in the 10 short months that I’ve been on this journey, I’ve met so many incredible people who are out to change the game.”
male mechanics are known to overprice and add on unnecessary services to female patrons because they assume they dont know shit about cars. go jessica!!!

Aki tud, kérem segítsen, akár csak azzal, hogy megosztja ezt a posztot. Sürgős műtét miatt Rh negatív O vérre lenne szüksége kollégám édesanyjának holnap reggel 8 óráig.
Irányított véradásról lenne szó: Budapesten vagy a Péterfy utcai vagy a Karolina úti vérellátóban, vagy Váci Területi Vérellátóban (Argenti Döme tér 1-3. – a kórház mellett) lehet vért adni Bolgárfalvi Lászlóné (szül.:1948.04.19, TAJ 062 985 440) részére.
