Photographer Misan Harriman gave lessons and equipment to young Palestinian refugees, who have fled Gaza in Egypt, – and the pictures they took are funny, revealing and often heartbreaking: www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Depuis sa libération, aucune chaîne d’info ni aucune grande radio n’a invité Rima Hassan alors qu’ils ont passé une semaine entière à se foutre de sa gueule 8h par jour. Ça fait un peu orienté, comme ça…

Does anyone with chronic pain use a #theragun and if so, does it make you feel better than gardening? Because I have plants in my cart and they cost a fraction of the theragun… asking for a friend, of course

Oh god France's entry does look like explosive diarrhoea, doesn't it? #Eurovision

fwiw, don't think they're trying to portray themselves as heroes. I think they're trying to alert people to the fact that we're in a really bad place. which I think is worthwhile? 1

The 17 fire stations that came to the rescue contained it until the fire started back up again and finished the job. Ancestors really said #TheFireNextTime williquinn.medium.com/the-fire-thi...

As we mark Nakba Day on May 15, millions of Palestinian refugees are languishing in camps as Israeli authorities accelerate the forced displacement of Palestinian communities. Governments should press Israel to honor Palestinian refugees' right of return.

Pope Hius Yellowus

BREAKING: President Donald Trump abruptly fires Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. The dismissal was disclosed in statements from three top House Democrats and confirmed by a separate person familiar with the matter.

I'm just bringing this over here so I'll know I'll have it readily available

There’s nothing wrong with healthy living, it should be encouraged “Wellness grifters” aren’t about a healthy lifestyle. They’re about selling stuff & blaming chronically ill people for being sick Most of what they recommend is too expensive for people on disability, and a lot of it is dangerous

I was all “the only pope I recognise is the one who gave birth on a horse” but then I learned the new pope has a Haitian grandad and 2-3 tweets criticising the US VP 😭😭😭 www.instagram.com/reel/DJarkps...

I will never shut about #PopeJoan / Pope Yohannes. How iconic to be the only pope to have given birth - on a horse no less - resulting in the Vatican fondling men’s nuts for the next few centuries to make sure it would never happen again. Such a baddie.

Among other things, this episode shows how @theferocity.bsky.social, @zachstafford.bsky.social, and @samsanders.bsky.social collaborate so well by each putting their specific expertise and different approaches to work.

BROOKLYN! stoked to be part of BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! (@briccelebratebk) to bring you a free - full band - show ! I’m lucky to be sharing the stage on Friday, June 13th with legends, cousines and fellow 🇭🇹 songstresses @riva.nyri & @miss_talie #CelebrateBrooklyn

The Met Gala + Sinners this week reminded me of pride and looking good in your “Sunday best”in good times and bad. Reminded that after many ends of many of our worlds, when the world is burning, if there’s one thing black people will always do is have space for grace and time to look FLY as fuck

shaboozey matching the teeth to the fit is absolutely something one of my uncles would've done. i live. #metgala2025

Finally went to see #Sinners and all i wanted to do when i got home was cradle and play my guitar… I wanted to honour ancestors who passed on their love through my talents. To this day, I don’t know anyone in my family who can sing… That scene with folk in a mascarade with their ancestry? Beauty.

Sometimes older sisters are there to protect you and sometimes they are there to NEVER LET YOU LIVE IT DOWN when you embarrass the fuck out of yourself. 😭

TOURÉ REPORT TO THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting ready for la Sacem’s country music songwriting camp a little in advance ;)

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court’s newest member, denounced on Thursday what she described as "relentless attacks" on judges, and an environment of harassment that "ultimately risks undermining our Constitution and the rule of law."

So I was wondering what happened to the Lex app - why so many cishet men and why so many drugs? and why does posting cost money? And why is it so hard to find other queer folk? techcrunch.com/2024/09/30/q....

La cagnotte pour soutenir le LAO pow’Her termine ce soir! Elles sont pas trop loin de l’objectif! Un petit effort? www.helloasso.com/associations...

J’ai adoré Fanon. C’est visuellement exquis. Émotionnellement, on quitte le cinéma ciselé, étripé par les atrocités vécues. Les comédien.ne.s sont attachants et excellents comme s’ils bougeaient avec la bande son de jazz de l’époque clouée à leurs oreilles. Un chef d’œuvre a très petit budget.

New Substack review of Netflix’s “Apple Cider Vinegar” substack.com/@melissalave... (I liked it! I hate people tho. And I really hate folks who profit off the forever sick, selling them empty hopes)

Le séisme en Birmanie a fait plus de 1 600 morts selon la junte, les experts redoutent un bilan largement plus lourd

“Simply put: I don’t know where this endless march of shortening the act of living leads us to. AI promises to free up time. But if what it spares us from is learning from our friends, writing, painting and exploring the world, then what, actually, are we meant to do with that time?”

I love how every Emily Dickinson poem or quote is so incredibly gay. And no, I will not elaborate further. "The lovely flowers embarrass me, They make me regret I am not a bee." - Emily Dickinson #LesbianPoetry

The NYT just gave us a new word game?!? Strands #325 “Pixar this” 🔵💡🔵💡 🔵🔵💡🔵 💡🔵🟡 Or did i just notice it existed lol It required so many hints

My take of the day is based on what Mia Mingus wrote in the“Disability/Intimacy” essay compilation book. If hope, or even faith, is blind, then goddamn it, hope is a crip queen. I bow to hope. Cause it’s really keeping me trucking despite many downfalls and many endings. Hope is an immortal crip.

That’s it tho. Do it. Do it in public. Do it for all of us to see. Let’s finally call a duck a duck
