do zionists not understand irony? or is it especially the australians, who’ve worked so hard on righting the many wrongs of their settler-colonial past—except for the No. 1 demand of the tent embassy, you know: TREATY. anyway here’s ScoMo doing ultimate irony (full video: youtu.be/i1b7J7pzgNo)

i’ve really needed to just not see my tl. i’m furious about the suspensions, and tbh it’s easier to work privately than post & cry. still. @abdullahs-dad.bsky.social’s really struggling to prep for winter. the siege wiped him out & the arbitrary aid cuts make budgeting a joke. bit.ly/help-mohamed

i was thinking about this Miffy finger puppet i believe i had on one of our flights either to or from korea when i was tiny, like no older than than three, and loving miffy because she looked grumpy like me. now i’m making the miffy face. decommodify art. i love you, miffy

been chatting with @abdullahs-dad.bsky.social, @ofhungryghosts.bsky.social, @noorhassan3.bsky.social, @fidaaumar.bsky.social, & @limbischessystem.bsky.social not here, and napping watched: "mr. nobody against putin" — putin's militarized the schools; vimeo.com/503700068 — marie colvin should be here

1 Nov. woud've been jenny's 10th birthday. no 9/11 song because that's for 9/11. my girl instead, here's excerpt from Perfect Victims (READ IT), which manages to be an object lesson on recontextualizing (…decolonizing?) your response to hasbara, and make some dark jokes. (sorry the subs are janky.)

why am i so tired all the time?! early SAD? increaiing the the "forget everything, fall asleep six times a day" medication? burnout? i've made so many commitments, and i don't make promises lightly, so there's no room for burning out. counterpoint: it's taken me over an hour to write this post.

if bsky zaps it, i have the original to repost; it's too important to disappear. the iof must leave gaza or mohamed will never know the state of his famiy's land. it's "a trust that must not be squandered," and he's a fine steward of his patch of dunes. bit.ly/help-mohamed

this should be interesting. i wonder how the treatment of political prisoners has changed since, for example, the IRA's dirty protest, or the price sisters forever ruining their digestive systems through forced refeediing;

the head of trust and safety doesn't even follow TOS himself — when was the last time anyone appealed anything and got a reply? is it an unwritten term of service not to reply to an appeal? or does the entire trust & safety team regularly break TOS while enforcing them for users?

within carceral settings, the violence of the carceral state is boiled down to its worst impulses like fucking bouillon i'm on a 9/11-began-the-end-of-the-US reading journey; 2 A++ memoirs of incarcerated people at the start of the forever wars: adayfi's Don't Forget Us Here & manning's README.txt

jfc loomer’s at it again. she’s claiming credit for ICE taking Sami Hamdi, a british journalist, into custody at sfo this morning. (she’s rabidly anti-zohran; the woman has got to be stopped.) tinyurl.com/sxc38ts6 so ICE black-bags pro-🇵🇸 foreign journalists now? to quote kamala: DO NOT COME HERE.

if we can meet the goal for THE BABY! and everyone else i will ask sheep & falcon to welcome the baby; they may sing? yes, i know it’s a stupid gimmick, but bit.ly/keeping-hope really isn’t. ‼️ parents of babies can register with the Saudi Center for formula and diapers: portal.ksach.org/children ‼️

Trying to get to 1000 letters by tomorrow... actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

when exactly did the nobel peace prize deserve any respect? another rich old sicko buying his soul back through bourgeois prizes? fuck off. how many war criminals, human rights abusers, genocide deniers* have been honored with a “torchlight procession” over the decades? (*the zionist elie wiesel)

@abdullahs-dad.bsky.social says soldiers been painting a yellow line and putting up barriers. yesterday we “joked” that gaza is the new berlin 1945, only the nazis are splitting up the territory. ha. ha. his village is so far behind that line i don’t know what tense to use p.s. bit.ly/help-mohamed

hey, this is important — HELP FOR BABIES IN GAZA! Register with the Saudi Center for infant formula and diapers: portal.ksach.org/children @mommunism.bsky.social link via t.me/rafahalaan/129557 (OS translated) original arabic below, but backwards, i hate bsky

i heard these two perform small curses on those who won't make an effort—"effort" being relative (to a degree…) i heard the sheep's great size is a metaphor for your ability to help more people than you think, while the falcon's bright eye seeks comrades bit.ly/keeping-hope (sorry, i'm 🔜😵‍💫🔚 today)

ugh, since i'm Reading Less News, i missed that rafah now media posted the top-scoring high school students from rafah with pre-genocide(?) photos of them looking like regular young men hypothesis: the uncolonized mind takes pride in students' academic achievements amid a genocide proof: these posts

my dear friend emad @ofhungryghosts.bsky.social & his younger brother @mosabmuhareb.bsky.social are working hard in- & outside of gaza for their family so they can prep for winter—especially for mohanad; i can't tell if all his vaccines have been allowed in. bit.ly/muhareb-family bit.ly/for-mosaab

the giving circle sheep and its companion? familiar? tiny god? beg to differ re: no one caring. 𝑹𝑰𝑮𝑯𝑻⁉️ bit.ly/keeping-hope ↔️ tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCircle be kind and care for people. this ceasefire…situation has so many palestinians i love on edge, it's unbearable. sheep offers hankies for donos

this was unspeakably difficult for mohamed to post. he is perishing of shame but he has 12 people to feed; 7 kids to clothe for winter; 6 school fees; and, god willing, another tin house for warmth & safety the blockade cost him everything, and he still raised $1k for his cousin bit.ly/help-mohamed

"potential" gonna assume that's UK speech laws' mandatory fig leaf, rather than giving any member of the iof the benefit of the doubt. the colonized, carceral part of my brain says GUANTANAMO, but 𝙉𝙊. overfill the ICC detention center. solicit contemporary digital evidence. never stop the trials.

(i liked what madea benjamin wrote on X: x.com/medeabenjamin/status/1981382153863610737) Senator Josh Hawley has taken $312,009 from the Israel lobby… 60,000 Palestinians are dead and he still won’t call it genocide. That’s about $5.20 for every Palestinian life lost. That’s his price.

sometimes you just can't in good conscience send the template. actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-ice-detention-expansion image 1: the template images 2 & 3: my letter (it's < 2k chars. so i had to split it 😶), not that they'll read it or care anyway. useless. this has been a real fucked-up october.

Thought I'd save the posts, just in case. it's always surprising to me that no publication ever hired alaa as a gaza correspondent; instead, she "gets" to fight a stupid racist social media platform so we can read her thoughts for free. bit.ly/rebuild-alaa

genocide has the world so upside down i'm just handing it to ana kasparian left and right. am i wrong? her domestid "no transes, no unhoused" agenda is fucked up. but i forgot how much of the armenian diaspora have direct ties to Palestine, in jerusalem and other cities. also, fuck canary mission.

it’s genuinely great that our primarily bitchmade lawmakers are trying to get the president to stop drone-striking speedboats coming from venezuela and colombia. but per PPMs signed by bush w, obama, biden, it’s totally legal — see the ACLU’s library on targeted killing. post-hoc reasons are a-ok!

hey what was the last piece of media — show or movie or tv episode or book — you remember consuming before 9/11? (if you were too young to remember or not born yet, just…try to imagine life before this.) i saw ghost world with my roommate that august; we were 19 and fell in love with it so hard

he’s very serious about a side hustle; mohamed is a modern man. can any photographers advise about how he can best sell photos under his specific set of circumstances?

maybe this is a crazy opinion, but i don’t know if disarmament is the best idea while the occupation is violence-first/-last/-always, trigger-happy, deeply ethnosupremacist, and armed to the teeth. (all the media loads, just give it a second, you too can have double-nightmares)

better to help @divyampersaud.com, the woman who couldn’t stop sponsoring, & throw some dollars at THE GIVING ⭕️ bit.ly/keeping-hope also i don’t know why bit.ly/for-mona hasn’t been posting, but she & bit.ly/support-noor seem to be in a fewest-donations competion 😭 please let them both lose 💔

from that one magic barley plant—a gift from a sheep—he has about 100 barley seeds to sow? please help the family survive so mohamed can become Gaza’s Barley King. think of the press! the press: know any that’d be interested in the small farm? location/language irrelevant! bit.ly/help-mohamed

i've been…dissociating? all week. three times i've washed my hair, conditioned it, then ignored? it. i've gotten trapped "doing research" and done nothing IRL but feed the cats two days in a row. i have huge lists of chores, and i look at them and think, did i write these? my head is cotton wool.

tone policing, for example, means you haven't decolonized your mind yet. i posted this before, but after a big protest seems an apt ttime to reflect on what your goals were and what it'll take to accomplish them.

really love this medication that causes brain fog, erasure of short-term memory, and mild aphasia. because i am thinking of a good, elegiac song but i'll be goddamned if i can remember it. of all the alternative media to lose.

(thanks to @pastures.myatproto.social for reposting) while we live through the era of factory-produced Good Liberal psychopaths who’ll give any excuse to keep profiting off human misery, we gotta luddite-style stop those machines. less raging, more wrecking. god bless the direct action groups ❤️‍🔥

for an excellent book that is like—a literary sociological study(?) about the effects of life under & after the stasi apparatus on ordinary east germans & stasi employees, you must read Anna Funder’s Stasiland (2003) immediately. (“Das Leben der Anderen” is a children’s show by comparison)

remember my gfm war, which i won after ~30 hell emails, then took sister @noorhassan3.bsky.social & @sonofnoor5.bsky.social to chuffed? (noor would NEVER complain, but they’re in dire straits: bit.ly/support-noor) now i fight for our brother mohamed, who’s ashamed to admit his financial troubles ⬇️

“No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.” constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-3 it’s sick how institutionally captured the UK is, when its people are so relentless

divya’s basically dying herself right now, her own illness is so painful. if you can help these families gtfo of the danger zone, maybe saving so many lives will ease divya’s pain, too? surely $83 is out there for them. 17x$5? 21x$4? or a few generous high rollers? $83. bit.ly/keeping-hope

if love were a currency, every genocidal state would be poverty-stricken, and their victims would be billionaires (most of them, anyway; every society has its jerks) instead, here’s jamal after 24 ½ months of genocide, still having to ask for help for his family. kid needs a hug bit.ly/help-jamal

ha ha ha first the vaccine flu then actual food poisoning, not the “i don’t want to go to work today kind.” anyway when i’m done being the guy with no immune system, i have trade services in mind so save some pennies. may god see palestine through to another day

@sapphic-film-nerd.bsky.social alert: the Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory is being accused by multiple UN employees of not just being the worst, but of trying to rescue some stray dogs instead of helping her Palestinian colleagues bit.ly/she-achieved-nothing

don’t ask me why but i started watching “the first 54 years,” (all mograbi’s work is available on his site, avimograbi.org), which he made in partnership with breakingthesilence.org.il; maybe i thought it’d be cathartic? but none of the guys interviewed seemed sorry. some were proud? it was gross

imagine if israel had just—let fidaa bring all her children with her when she first qualified for medical evacuation. instead, she suffers. everything israel does to gaza is so clearly genocidal (why must people return after treatment?), you have to be made of steel to keep going bit.ly/save-fidaa

i was just…shown a CBS broadcast that implied the iof had ceased-firing, which made me want to scream, seeing as how they bombed the hell out of khan yunis today, in addition to gaza city. to avoid crying, i made @maratan-ukhraa.bsky.social this "comic" (transl. in alt text) bit.ly/help-mohamed
