Now that Israel’s mass surveillance project can’t be stored on Microsoft’s Azure, Unit 8200 plans to transfer the data to the Amazon Web Services cloud. Palestinians call for escalating pressure on all BDS priority tech targets– including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Palantir, and Cisco.

FINAL hour on today’s drive—please share ⚠️ In the last week you’ve brought your radical hope for these EIGHT families who are under literal fire in Gaza City. This is the definition of hope, and it makes a difference. Help them escape south. Every bold $5 matters. 930/1000

The general submissions portal is now open for all writers. We are looking for speculative fiction stories, 5000 words or under, and our preference is for something that is, more or less, fun.

why did the job application for sweetgreen ask what the American dream means to me

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Incredible. Italy brought to a standstill as Italians descend to the streets to protest for Gaza. No business as usual. Schools closed. Businesses closed. Shameful on the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

This is unironically a lot worse than Jimmy Kimmel but you won't see 1/1000 of the outrage

In addition to cancelling your Disney accounts, now is also a great time to delete academia.edu

And hey, if you want to boost or donate micro art to the African Translation - performatively or genuinely - that's great. Do it. Please. I want to fund these translations. They are important on so many levels, as are the messages we're sending about it.

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....

The Gaza Soup Kitchen run by Hani Almadhoun and family is currently feeding 3000 people a day under the monstrous conditions of the engineered famine happening before our eyes. You can help feed at least a few people. Please donate: gofund.me/e37b4bae

Call your senators about this. No, Schiff and Padilla were never going to sign this resolution, but seven senators is more than I would’ve expected a year ago and that means pressure works. So call your senators, because it takes 3 minutes total and it’s more effective than posting about it.

Now that you're (justly) angry about Jimmy Kimmel, did you know that Palestinian Americans were evicted in 2023 and 2024 for flying Palestinian flags in their windows? It's true. I have a case before the Seventh Circuit about it.

Feds just fired a tremendous amount of pepper balls at Reverend David Black, a regular protester here. A number of them hit him in the face and head.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

I think if you signed the @translatedhugo.bsky.social petition, you might be interested in this ko-fi that's crowdfunding the African Translation Project!

Donate to mutual funds. Take a first aid course. Offer to help others with yard work or errands. Check in on your friends, family & vulnerable community members. Contact your senator. Help out at a food bank. Do not give up. The road is long & small positive actions ripple outward.

I agree! This #BoycottDisneyABC effort led by organizers has real potential. Join us. bit.ly/boycottdisne...

a canceled streaming subscription is easily converted to several spec fic magazine subs on patreon and similar services, some are as low as 1-2 bucks. the more you know.

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

autumn friends // loose little thing just for dare I say it… fun. #art #illustration

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state. You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread. Don't pretend this isn't possible

The UN has recognized that Israel is committing & has committed genocide in Palestine. Here’s June Jordan saying I SAID I LOVE YOU AND I WANTED GENOCIDE TO STOP in 1996 www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

Fuck I'm so fucking tired. Please go comment on this thing. I've been working in public higher education for 13 yrs, & I'm still not cleared under EXISTING PSLF rules (adjuncting is a motherfucker), & they want to do this to everyone coming up after us? Being both exhausted & enraged feels so weird.

What a surprise to discover that two Stelliform books took home top prizes at the Indie Ink Awards this weekend! Congrats to two amazing writers and their incredible books: Tiffany Morris and E.G. Condé for best Indigenous and Latinx/Latine Rep respectively! See more here: indiestorygeek.com/a...

🧵My Taínofuturism novella, SORDIDEZ @stelliform.press, won the Indie Ink Award for "Writing the Future We Need: Latinx/Latine Representation by a Latinx/Latine author". What a wonderful way to kick off #HispanicHeritageMonth ! What an important institution for recognizing indie works. Gracias! 1/

Palestinian families like Omar's are being displaced once again by the IDF as they're starved to death in Israel's genocide. Please help by sharing & donating so they can cover the costs of evacuation, shelter, food, they're in great danger:

ICE claimed the father tried to hit them with his car or that he "dragged" one of the agents. Then bystander video was released showing this was completely false. ICE executed a man on the street in broad daylight.

It doesn't matter if it is your post. Reposting is sufficient. clarksvillenow.com/local/apsu-f...

Hey, the Unbound for Gaza fundraiser is here, starting September 25th. www.32auctions.com/unboundforga... The auction raises money for charities operating in Gaza. There are a LOT of super-cool items, many of which would be AMAZING holiday gifts for book nerds.
