  • It should also be noted that the biggest proponent of the idea that decolonization means turning the tables and just moving around the designations of first and second class citizens, is the colonizers themselves, because that’s the only reality they know. You see this in discussions regarding decolonization in the US/Canada as well, where white people think that somehow means Indigenous people are going to force them out of their houses and kidnap their children as some kind of revenge for white people doing those exact things to Indigenous peoples. That’s not what decolonization is, but colonizers keep insisting it is because they simply can’t think of it in any other terms, and/or they know full well that they’re lying and are deliberately building up a strawman against decolonization in hopes of preventing it from happening.




  • Easiest way to do this: Turn the modem off after bed time (you will also lose internet)

    Most expensive but still easy way to do this: Buy a “smart router” with time-based parental controls (lets you use the internet at night).

    Nerd way to do this: Pihole with a script that enables and disables certain blocklists at certain times (free and open source, because fuck “smart” products)


  • Headline: US warns Israel to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing weapons funding

    First line of the article: The Biden administration has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk

    The headline is intentionally making it seem like the US is asking Israel itself to provide aid to Gaza, no they’re just pretending to ask Israel to please stop preventing other people from trying to provide aid to Gaza.

    Thanks Associated press, very cool.
