RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — More than half a million people in Gaza — a quarter of the population — are starving, according to a report Thursday by the U.N. and other agencies that highlights the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The extent of the population’s hunger eclipsed even the near-famines in Afghanistan and Yemen of recent years, according to figures in the report. The report warned that the risk of famine is “increasing each day,” blaming the hunger on insufficient aid entering Gaza. “It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza. And at this speed.” ... At the start of the war, Israel stopped all deliveries of food, water, medicine and fuel into the territory. After U.S. pressure, it allowed a trickle of aid in through Egypt. But U.N. agencies say only 10% of Gaza’s food needs has been entering for weeks. (Dec. 21, 2023 | Source)

To anyone who needs to hear it

if someone makes you uncomfortable or your gut is telling you someone is not safe for a reason you don’t know:

you don’t need a specific reason or justification to do whatever u need to protect yourself.

Your subconscious saying “something isn’t right” is all the reason you need. Protect yourself. You are not being over dramatic or mean.

And if you’re a kid and that gut feeling is towards an adult I give you permission to be as unapologetically “mean” as you want. And please tell a trusted adult.

If u think u have young followers I encourage rebloging so they can hear it

Non-binary or not, he still committed a horrible crime and should be punished.

Daily Kos

The Club Q mass shooter is trolling, he's a homophobic man according to those who know him

It's beyond irresponsible for legacy news outlets to uncritically parrot unsubstantiated volatile claims from a mass murder and hate crime s

this shit is fuckin insane, the shooter (or more accurately, his legal team) are impromptu claiming that he's nonbinary to try and dodge hate crime charges. literally 4chan troll behavior

10 weeks of poster illustrations for my weekly challenge this year. honestly 2025 is shaping up to be the most I've ever drawn consistently in my life

[tweet by @ murdermuffin666: tfw deviantART has their own AI generator and all of your previous deviations can be used by it unless you go into the settings of each submission and opt out. no, i’m not fucking joking. everything is automatically opted in. (link)]

Crossposting from someone else's Twitter (sorry op but I hadn't seen it on here yet) -

If you have posted art on deviantart, your submissions have been automatically approved for use in AI art.

At the moment, you can protect your work by:

submitting up to five keywords (names and usernames) to be excluded from AI art generation on-site to the official Google form

Manually disabling the approval for AI art generation on each individual submission. This is otherwise enabled by default and applies retroactively (old posts are automatically approved).

This absolutely sucks shit and the system should obviously be opt-in AT BEST, but at the very least please take the steps you can to protect your work.

It doesn't protect your work from third-party datasets, but it can at least protect you from deviantArt's own one.

there's like a tiktok thing rn where parents show off the quirky fun ways they're "punishing" their children around christmas time as if it's a cute seasonal diy and it's all genuinely so sick and concerning. a woman smugly painting and wrapping a rock in gift wrap to pull some revenge stunt on her 3(!!) year old for misbehaving the day before, a man throwing a (fake) present into the oven in front of his kindergarten kids, referring to them as "little fuckers" and recommending other parents do the same to really get them good. ideally if they still believe in santa. ending with a close up on their heartbroken sobbing little faces, on a maybe 8 year old girl burying her red face in her hands and turning away from the camera because she's old enough to be embarrassed about being recorded for mommy's clicks while she's crying but unable to do anything about it, on a little boy in 101 dalmatians pajamas pulling his knees to his chest and crying in such a way you can tell he's even trying to do it quietly. i don't want to go into detail on what kind of ghouls even watch this content. and the way it's exacerbated by the social media spectacle too- literally egging each other on to pull off the most click-worthy and unique prank channel style punishments, exposing private and embarrassing situations to a platform used by millions, all to lap up the validation and praise of the completely random strangers that you publicly humiliate your child for. if this demented shit teaches them anything it'll be a deep and personal appreciation for this meme

Gghhh new pfp + variations???
