The surgery is almost definitely getting delayed at this point; Payment is still due in two weeks. A lot of other things are not going well right now and everything is severely unstable so I may go back offline from this end for a while

At my partner of ten years funeral her entire family deadnamed and misgendered her, then all turned on me when I kicked off about it. The families of trans folk are the *last* people to go to to understand how to respect and remember us.

A haunting gutpunch, this one. Also go read his Showa series! A thorough testimony of an average (if unexceptionally lucky) life through Japan's fascist turn after an economic crisis and being swept up in the eventually disastrous war.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani responds to an antisemitic attack in NYC.

This summer, I returned home, to Jaffa - my first visit since October 7th. This is the story of my time there. newlinesmag.com/first-person...

The Israelis are genuinely not used to their relationship with the Anglosphere, and in particular the United States, being in any way contingent upon their treatment of the Palestinians. They do not know how to process that it will increasingly be the case and in all likelihood will just go crazier.

Intussen klinkt bij ons, luid en onbeschaamd: “Ik herken mijn stad niet meer” - code voor: “er zijn te veel buitenlanders.”

Given the extremely absurd accusations of antisemitism in the other screenshots in this thread, worth noting that the “argument” they’re all referencing is whether or not Fuentes and his explicit call for eradicating American Jews can be accepted as a wing of their movement.

1. There are three very important constraints on tonight's Mamdani victory you have to keep in mind when we're looking at what he's going to be able to do in office (taking him in good faith as someone who wants to make life better for people and discounting Trump). Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This shows up in how even cis gay people are oppressed, too—the most feminine gay men and masculine lesbian women tend to be the most targeted by anti-gay violence and rhetoric, because it isn't just about being gay in a void, but being in friction with gender norms.

This is also why I reject defining the political core of "queerness" as "same-sex activity." That political core is actually deviation from the standardized male-female system, with its accompanying sexual ecosystem.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

The classic refute to “listening to the marginalized means deferring to the last person of that marginalization who spoke” is that it supplies no way to deal with disagreement between people of the same marginalization. That alone should highlight the problem here.

This pattern speaks so deeply to the immaturity of most social justice ethics, in that the unspoken reason for “listen to the marginalized” is “because it will let you be right” rather than “because they deserve to be heard and usually aren’t.” It’s about humanization, not winning an argument.

the strongest way israel can legitimise itself permanently is by ceasing to oppress the palestinian people in all forms, which is why it's quite weird to see alleged liberal zionists focus on literally anything other than that

Israel’s Defence Minister is accusing the IDF’s top lawyer of spreading blood libel because the lawyer leaked a video of IDF soldiers raping a Palestinian prisoner www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Sudan’s war is described as forgotten, but in reality it is tolerated and relegated. Because to reckon with the horror in Sudan is to look into the abyss of regional and global politics."

These two tweets in a row, one right after another, show that this guy does not actually care about taking a principled stance against bigotry; he just wants it not to be directed against him.

I watched this yesterday and I found this a good starting point. The author of this video also made a summarizing comic which links to resources which seem useful to gain insight into this war: unicornriot.ninja/2022/revolut...

Last thing I forgot, I promise! Defensively shutting down over a call-out replicates the shitty power dynamics you think you’re fighting. Black folks tiptoe around white feelings; women bend over backwards to not upset men. REPEAT and REMEMBER Ego is the antithesis and enemy of solidarity.

I go to a 6 am gym class and on my way back there were folks already lined up outside our local food pantry. Four people who looked in their 70s — among them a man listening to the radio about the Mets. They pushed carts ahead of them.

Republicans are doing push polls saying that Nazi tattoos are “anti-Israel,” with the goal of polarizing the country between one coalition that thinks “fighting antisemitism” means deporting college students and the other that dismisses allegations of antisemitism entirely. That’s their goal.

Sous le vieux pin.

why should any one give chase to that hated fish! Away with me! let us fly these deadly waters! let us home!

"X Protest is useless it does not challenge power" can be criticized from the left. When you see a mobilization of millions from a cross section of society, contrasting one side (typical citizens), and another (cops and rich hecklers), a marxist asks—how did this happen and how do we GAS this grill!

This is not really about Hamas violating the terms of the ceasefire. This is just collective punishment of the people of Gaza. And the fact that Israel is still doing this is a big part of why people are not celebrating the ceasefire just yet.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

let me look into a human eye; it is better than to gaze into sea or sky; better than to gaze upon God

sharks also are the invariable outriders of all slave ships crossing the Atlantic, systematically trotting alongside, to be handy in case a parcel is to be carried anywhere, or a dead slave to be decently buried

De massale steun in vele Europese landen voor de Palestijnse zaak is hoopgevend. Er komt steeds meer druk op hun regeringen om harder op te treden voor het welzijn van de Palestijnen in plaats van louter toe te kijken in medeplichtigheid aan kolonialisme. www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/ki...

That she's cool as fuck?

They brought the post back lol. Finish the job. Ban Singal. Rescue your platform.

Seems they "unbanned" it. Before and after.
