These videos are produced in-house by a small animation cell in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, working mainly in After Effects + Blender In a TikTok posted after Israel's June attacks on Iran, soldiers describe working weeks under “prime-minister-level secrecy” to prepare visuals

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Famine in Tigray: Hunger and Humiliation Read the Memo here worldpeacefoundation.org/publication/...

In a blog, Birhan & I reflect, "Silence now risks normalizing the use of hunger as a political tool—not only in Ethiopia but in conflicts settings across the world. By naming and recording what happened in Tigray, we contribute to a body of memory that resists denial and insists on accountability."

Here are some of the wonderful women and genderqueers who've been my main inspiration, whether they know it or not!🥰❤️ @withouthistoryband.bsky.social @taliabhatt.itch.io @miawong.bsky.social @juliaserano.bsky.social @goddessblade.bsky.social @sexabolition.blog @riotlinguist.bsky.social

If someone has ideas for cool thumbnail images or art, please let me know! (stuff on feminist and trans liberation!)

Here it is, the full text in PDF is here: tinyurl.com/227k6aex Or you can check out the intro here on my blog, with the links to all four sections: tinyurl.com/2hmzax3t Huge thanks to the wonderful women and queers who've inspired and taught me so much! 💚🥰 Any credit goes to them!!! (⬇️list below)

Reminder that what is offensively called Ireland's "great famine" or "great hunger" was in fact a colonial genocide by England. It's crazy that people still think it's because "Irish people literally just ate potatoes and whoops, there was a blight suddenly"...

I try to hang on to these things, but I'm ngl it's a daily struggle to counter my mental-intellectual-analytical pessimism which is reinforced on daily basis while revolutionary aspirations are constantly crushed by the reality we live in...

I'm not gonna be dishonest and pretend I am not highly pessimistic about the future. I can point to at least four or five (probably more) massive things that make think despite all the good will of radical/grassroots movements we're fucking doomed. I know that you're not supposed to say that but...

I honestly feel like lesbianism is one of the only/rare existing types of relationships in the present that shows the *potential* of what truly liberated human relationships + also gender autonomy could be. And what true love can/could actually be like ❤️ Happy international lesbian day❤️❤️🫶🫶

I'll say this: I'll stay on this site as long as the amazing trans women I've met stay here ❤️❤️

Lesbians are fantastic ❤️❤️🫶🫶

Ah Bluesky is capping off their week of nonsense the way they always do- by turning up the racism dial on Palestinian accounts so now people with long standing accounts are having them deleted

Me every single day

Karl Marx: “Modern bourgeois society (...) a society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production and of exchange, is like the sorcerer, who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells.”

I've actually done quite a lot of writing over the past few years, often requiring months of research (unironically, and add to that my MA thesis!😅). This is a selection of some of the stuff I've talked about, would mutuals be interested if I did a thread-format summary going through some of these?

It's the perfect time for this beautiful quote by Omar Aziz from 2011, Syrians finally did it!

Just saying

There is a reason I hate Europe (technically where I was born). For all my lifetime it's been atrocious, and this is powerfully highlighted in this essay from a migrant who went through hell, through Libya, to reach Europe, only to get dehumanized there.. www.refugeesinlibya.org/post/chronic...

🤮🤮🔪🔪"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (...) is also, allegedly, a rapist and paedophile, who considered his own sister his sexual property since she was three years old, and who responded to allegations by lamenting that “caring for a family member who faces mental health challenges is incredibly difficult.”

My sister Louna, I miss you and love you still❤️❤️❤️

Today in "women be rocking": Phallon Tullis-Joyce, the AMAZING goalkeeper of my favorite team (Manchester Utd), also happens to have majored in marine biology and is a certified scientific diver. It's not enough to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world, you see! ❤️

I made this two-part infographic on food waste last year, it's arguably the best illustration of the utter irrationality of capitalism. And it's not just troubling because of how many humans die of hunger, but the POINTLESS deaths and suffering of millions of animals, + it's ecologically disastrous!

Me in most political discussions:

Teklehaymanot G. Weldemichel (who is one of the best people to follow on this topic) has a new article on the war and genocide in Tigray, it's open-access check it out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... On Twitter he shared these excerpts highlighting the UN's complicity in the genocide:

❤️These are the four quotes which I put right at the end of my MA thesis 🔥 (ft. Werner Bonefeld, Aimé Césaire, Errico Malatesta, Zapatistas/Cuarta Declaración de la Selva Lacandona)

I could put most of @taliabhatt.itch.io's book as great quotes (instead please go buy it!) because it's all 🔥, but this description of transmisogyny really stuck:

Death would be too kind for this piece of shit (Sam Altman), and destroying the world with OpenAI isn't even the worst thing he's done....

Being myself a dataviz specialist, I dislike a lot of "data bros" like this⬇️. It's clearly a pretty widespread tendency of first "listening to the data" and then trying to understand society, not using a more dialectical/iterative process where you need to think about social relations and processes

I think that the concept of "re-enchantment of the world" (inspired by Max Weber's "disenchantment of the world") is crucial for understanding the function conspiracism fills for people. This is explained here by critical theorist Benoît Bohy-Bunel:

Karl Korsch, in 1942: "The novelty of totalitarian politics in this respect is simply that the Nazis have extended to “civilized” European peoples the methods hitherto reserved for the “natives” or “savages” living outside so-called civilization" www.aaap.be/Pages/Korsch...

I'm building up my fiction ebook collection, what are some of your favorite authors/works? 😇 I'm open to any genre, preferably give me a brief description what it's about/what you like about it pls!

Out of context DM

Oops, another socdem showing he's on the side of the police repressing protests? Mmmh who could have seen that coming?

OMG BLACK STAFFIES ARE SO ADORABLE 😭😭😭😭 I need one so badly

That sad/bummer moment when someone who's great in terms of transfeminism happens to also subscribe to fucking "Marxism-Leninism" aka Stalinism. 💀💀💀

Left hand of capital and the police state 👍 "yay we made him the boss of the NYPD, hurray!"

Alright fucking enough already, like I posted recently there are a couple of *cringes intensely* MLs (Marxist-Leninists) who happen to be good in terms of transfeminism, and I forced myself to ignore the ML part and follow them. But that's enough, you don't get a pass if you spread pro-IRI BS!

Fuck courts and the whole judicial-penal system, they CONSISTENTLY uphold the interests of the abusers, powerful men, capitalists, and the elite's own criminals VS criminalize the poor, the abused, the raped, the exploited...
