I was so confused about why everyone was morality policing #astronomers at a #Coldplay concert. Then I found out they're an AI company using words like #Astronomy and #Cosmos for their platforms and I wish people would dig into that. 1/2

Religion is a mystery to me, Catholicism especially. All I know is Pope Francis was on video calls and texts with a parish in #Gaza regularly starting October 9, 2023. Photo: Pope visits a nativity scene at the Vatican. Baby Jesus is wrapped in a keffiyeh. December 2024. 📸 Andrew Medichini

🍉🥤🍿 I'm old enough to have to ask a Gen Z AMC Theater worker for help using the drink machines, yet young enough to have the urge to post about it on social media. #THETEACHER #SALEHBAKRI #FARAHNABULSI #FREEPALESTINE

Just got a little lost and turned around on St. Elmo in South Austin and found a #TeslaTakedown protest 💓💓💓‼️ #Vaya #Solidarity #FreePalestine

move slowly and build things

Swamp pop is one of the most unappreciated genres in the lexicon of American music. #FREEPALESTINE

Sun Ra said, "You are on the right road, going in the wrong direction." I feel that. #FREEPALESTINE

The distance between fascists celebrating the state’s abduction of student activist #MahmoudKhalil and liberals who stay silent seems very slight.

Project 1895: Dying of Consumption to Own the Libs

cc: Those who shrugged when Kamala called anti-genocide protests antisemitic and student protests terrorism.

And a Columbia Professor doxxed him. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Evil, disgusting and totally predictable tbh

A Fascist dictatorship doesn't announce it's arrival: it's already happening (and has been for a long time). What can we do? NOT to put ourselves on blast on social media. Take organising to secure messaging services and build community locally. Look-after BIPOC/Queer/Disabled, those most at-risk.

What do you think about people who ignored the U.S. driven genocide in #Gaza, who are all posting in defense of #Ukraine now?

🏆💐

You love to see it. #TeslaTakedown #TheNewLuddites

Can U.S. Americans who weren't brave enough to speak out against genocide in Gaza be counted on to fight fascism at home?

Everything.

If you're scared & outraged about how Trump's lack of empathy for others is expressing itself in wanton fascism but you were silent during a livestreamed genocide then please look in a mirror. You've been someone else's Trump for at least 470 days. #letgazalive #westbankunderattack #freepalestine

The people of Reddit's reflections on The Epic of Gilgamesh.

Watching a discussion between Roger Reeves and Terrance Hayes from last year at the Warfield Center @UTAustin. Bookmarking Gilgamesh and The Dream Songs for later this week.

Palestine is the main reason I joined yet another social media platform.

Staunch Israel supporters Starmer and Trudeau have said they'd honor the ICC arrest warrants. Biden administration, "We fundamentally reject the court's decision"

"Working tirelessly" on a what ... #Gaza #EndtheGenocide

There's a spectrum of simultaneous numbness and rage that the last 10 days have brought.

Read this whole thread for context. 🚨💔

Hossam Shabat, one of the few journalists still reporting from the North of Gaza who has survived assassination, was injured in an airstrike a few hours ago that was targeting civil defense workers. Hossam's Instagram has some updates, and more information is being circulated throughout Insta.

I finished Say Nothing, and there was to be no rest in store for me tonight until I found this 2019 article posted by @mickthetaig.bsky.social

Rumaan Alam, in discussion with Elizabeth McCracken at the State Theater for the Texas Book Festival, was so great. 🧵 1

I was part of the Poetry Tent overflow crowd today to hear Naomi Shihab Nye talk about her new book, Grace Notes: Poems about Families. Nye encouraged people to write about their families and suggested the writing prompt, What was the secret at your house? #TexasBookFestival 🧵 1

267 authors are scheduled to speak at the Texas Book Festival in Austin this weekend. I was sorry to hear Hala Alyan didn't make it, but I was excited to see Naomi Shihab Nye and Rumaan Alam today. 📚

Hoping Brooklyn based Rumaan Alam loves visiting Austin at the Texas Book Festival so much thar he moves here. His panel with Elizabeth McCracken is as brilliant as it is hilarious. He deleted his TwitterX yesterday - please come to #Bluesky and be brilliant and hilarious here. #bookmedicine

Kit O'Connell is in #Dallas reporting on the protests outside the JNF Global Conference happening at the Hilton Anatole. Note that Canada revoked the JNF's nonprofit status a few months ago. 🍉

I was thinking about Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower a LOT this year and how Lauren prepared and prepared and still didn't feel ready when the creeping apocalyptic moment finally came crashing down on her. Imagine if Butler could've anticipated us livestreaming that moment over and over ... 🍉

"Everything can disappear in seconds, entire worlds."

I was very young when I watched István Szabó's #MEPHISTO. I grasped just enough to understand how people normalized fascism pre-WWII in order to maintain their own self-mythology. 🧵 1

More signs I'm in the right place.

Agree. Needs more dabke 🍉

My people 😍📚

If this whole Bluesky thing doesn't work out, maybe the next new thing can be exchanging phone numbers, and we can all hash things out on the telephone. ☎️

I used to repost passages from #MobyDick on Twitter. Therefore, I was totally unknown. Until 2021, when I started reposting updates from the #SheikhJarrah uprising while remaining happily unknown. BTW, is Mohammed El-Kurd here yet 🍉💚
