I'm such a cutie 🥰

You can draw a through line between Standing Rock, Stop Cop City, the Palestine encampment student protests, and the results of the Prairieland case. And then still have Dems asking why there aren't more protests...

Two guys clasping arms. The first is labeled as "Democrats", the second as "Republicans", and the text under them both is "charging peaceful protestors with conspiracy to commit domestic terrorism".

Hey everyone! @jayweixelbaum.bsky.social here has some... leading questions about the work I do with @distributeaid.org. And y'all know we value transparency so I've decided to answer them as publicly as I can, in this thread on main. Let's all learn together 👇

@borderless.bsky.social‬:

I think it's time to start referring to America as a "once-great nation".

Might as well be honest about where we're at in the decline.
‪
@jayweixelbaum.bsky.social‬:

not really much of a "future is up for grabs" kind of argument

@borderless.bsky.social‬:

oh wow, really got me there

(hint: the black flag in my bio should tell you that I care about building futures which don't require us to surrender power to a handful of old white dudes like the type who got us into this mess)
‪
@jayweixelbaum.bsky.social‬:

you are a white dude named Taylor
‪
@borderless.bsky.social‬:

Lmaooo you deleted your original reply, blocked me, then came back 30 minutes later and this is all you got? Be serious 😂
‪
@jayweixelbaum.bsky.social‬

sure sounds like a white guy named Taylor
‪
@jayweixelbaum.bsky.social‬

seems like your org needs a lot more scrutiny too

@jayweixelbaum.bsky.social‬

seems like your org needs a lot more scrutiny too
‪
@borderless.bsky.social‬

Why do you say that?

Trying to intimidate me isn't going to work. I literally manage life n death situations at work.

It's kinda sad you feel like you need to escalate this much tho, over nothing. Feel free to leave my thread anytime.
‪
@jayweixelbaum.bsky.social‬

No, you don't. You sit at a computer. I'm seeing pat the posturing.

As an an ideell förening you aren't subject to auditing in Sweden. I'd certainly like to see it. For starters
‪
@jayweixelbaum.bsky.social‬

Of course nothing from BBB or Charity Navigator, either
‪
@jayweixelbaum.bsky.social‬

real question is if your "life and death" situations includes places like Al-Massaken al-Shaabiya where Hezbollah operates

like I said, more scrutiny needed, Taylor

@jayweixelbaum.bsky.social‬

you got quiet for someone who so closely monitors his account.
‪
@borderless.bsky.social‬

Oh just give me a minute. Your questions deserve good answers!

@jayweixelbaum.bsky.social‬

the answers should already be out there!

happy to leave this thread right exactly here.
the more I look, the more posturing I see.

coordinating aid? sure.

others do the work while you play mr punk rock.

just another techbro populist who claims solidarity and abandons it at will. unserious.

Almost rocked the gas mask but decided it'd be a bit much.

Happy pride everyone! Headed to the Lisbon parade this afternoon. Going for "pride was a riot (and still should be)".

Just filed! Here's my comment if anyone needs inspiration.

Brief comment:

Requiring warnings for TV, movies, and other media is a huge government overreach. Not only does it curtail the first ammendment rights of queer people, but it is also impractical and ineffective. Are aliens in a sci-fi movie queer because their species reproduces asexually? Is a movie showing off Arnold Swartzenegor's muscles queer, because swole guys primarily show off muscles for the male gaze? Is game of thrones queer because one character takes on the persona of other characters, including those with different genders? Be serious, there is no way to evaluate or enforce this. Instead, if individuals or parents would like to know if a TV show contains lgbtq content they can simply wait for the reviews and online commentary and then make the decision that's right for them. They should take on that personal responsibility, instead of outsourcing it to government overreach.

This is what people are talking about when they say that AI can't come up with new ideas. Oh you read our website and are mirroring what we're already doing back to me as a sales pitch? Super valuable stuff just give me a sec to report spam and block real quick.

AI-generated spam email:

Some outbound ideas came to mind for targeting humanitarian logistics teams at non-profit organizations :

1. Reach out to logistics coordinators at refugee response organizations referencing Kompass71's testimonial on hygiene items
2. Engage with disaster relief managers at community aid groups citing Distribute Aid's work in Europe and the Middle East
3. Target humanitarian program directors at charities leveraging Distribute Aid's expertise in aid matching and delivery

Btw, if you're open to it, one of our outbound experts would be happy to look over your current outbound motion and offer advice - doesn’t cost anything.

(And maybe you'll like their ideas more than mine!)

Interested?

Why does my mom text me like I'm still in highschool and she's worried about the xannie craze she heard about on the local evening news? 😂

Texts from mom:

"Are you using they/them? Can I call?"

Followed by a 30 minute call.

At work on Labor Day because supplychains never sleep and humanitarian aid is needed more than ever, but at least my office for the afternoon is this dope rooftop garden bar.

A table at the rooftop garden bar showing my computer, vape, and a couple of drinks on the table. Chill, it's after 5pm on a holiday and I'm just sending emails.

That is a fucking lie, Ryan. Sov tired of this AI spam bulkshit.

An AI spam email saying:

A few investment groups we have connections with are looking to allocate $2M-$20M in capital over the next 90 days, a few with a focus on mutual aid.

Not sure if you're currently in a raise, but I figured you might be open to some introductions.

Interested?

While we're doing maps, look at how much of Lebanon's farmland sits in the "Forward Defense Zone" which was also subject to this white phosphorus use.

Woah! Never really seen the inside of a laptop before.

A very naked laptop computer showing its guts, with a few components imma start plugging in.

My contract gig ended yesterday and I've settled into Lisbon for two weeks today. Feeling relaxed and human again after grinding 70 hours a week to save some money up. 😊 Gonna celebrate by finally setting up the hamd-me-down phone I've carried thru 7 countries, and my new Framework laptop. 🥳

The components for my Framework laptop laid out on a desk.

Hey ummmm don't do this shit to strangers online then double down on it.

Ok I lied this actually looks really good and the restaurant doesn't close until midnight so I can probably hang out a bit then get a few of the other things I wanted too. 😋🤤
