Happy Christmas Eve (to all who celebrate) Someone kindly donated $50 yesterday to start us off. Please continue to share this post. 💕✨

The Palestinian filmmaker Mohammad Bakri, who directed the documentary “Jenin, Jenin”, has passed away aged 72. Read Suha Arraf’s piece from 2021 on how Israel stifles Palestinian filmmakers like Bakri, and how they continue to resist through their art. Suha Arraf www.972mag.com/censorship-m...

On Christmas Eve 1855 enslaved teenagers from Loudon County, Virginia fended off slave patrollers as they made their escape to freedom in Philadelphia. This image, “A Bold Stroke for Freedom,” is housed in the Library of Congress.

also a big Not Knowing Basic Vocabulary issue.

One big Holocaust education issue in the US is that people don't know the difference between a concentration camp and an extermination camp (though the two were often linked), so they assume that people referring to a "concentration camp" are being unfairly hyperbolic in a case like this.

All the ones I've done over the years so far ❤️

Made myself a little age guide :>

People just now, in 2025, having the astounding insight that our whole government has the abuser / enabler parent dynamic. 😑 Just now. Open-mouth flabbergasted to recognize it. 😑😑

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.

By this time tonight I was meant to have made my bread sauce, cranberry sauce and begun the gingerbread stuffing, and yet I find myself, tasks still undone, on my sofa, with drink and cake to hand, happily gazing at my Christmas-Grotto-garden. Rather thrilled with my new light-up deer, I must say.

They always scapegoat, oh it’s those racists over there, never what I have to do as someone who was raised white under white supremacy.

we don't want incurious people on this side. if they don't know how to ask what things mean and listen, if they think white people are oppressed or even at risk of being oppressed, they'll absolutely be in the way of liberating the rest of humanity

welcome to the Second Annual Bluesky Christmas Eve Snowball Fight! please drop a take in the replies and I or someone else will be along to belligerently interpret whatever you said in the worst possible light

and not IN LIFE PERIOD, just at whatever you're specifically good at. please. it's a slippery slope and unfair and unrealistic to all involved.

NO ONE is a leader because they're gendering properly. please do not ever attempt to "lead" people because of your gender, regardless of how well you supposedly do it or how kind you are. please only lead because you've been deemed qualified by well adjusted people who seek leadership in you.

only for me this applies to way too many names 😭

I love books. So consider this an exercise in cognition and archiving. I’ll be keeping tracks of books I’ve read and loved, because remembering why I loved a book is as important as the love itself. I hope you’ll give it a read www.thelavenderiya.com/tli-blog
