Friends, I am BACK and urgently looking for some contract work with 12 years of software/game dev experience with a formal background in classical music/musicology, previous clients include Apple, ZA/UM, Gatsby, Travis CI, Soundminer etc Currently looking for work in THREE main areas (see thread)

three days left and while still far from my goal it would really help if we could raise another 500 Euros so I won't have to immediately worry about February rent or emergencies in January thank you all

I am gonna stop in four days when the fundraiser ends, so we can all be free of my "spam era" alas I haven't even hit half of my target, which means it will be really hard for me to get a visa here right now, so I would appreciate a final boost from everyone the next few days

my 2026 goal is to not having to use Bsky for anything, you can help me reach that goal by donating to my fundraiser which is ending in 8 Days, and I haven't been able to reach half of my goal, so would be great to boost/spread this holiday week, as we still need a lot of help to survive January

For more than 2 years, police in Berlin - encouraged by city and national politicians - have systematically used excessive violence in an attempt to beat the Palestine solidarity movement into silence. I wrote about this phenomenon for the @lrb.co.uk

we are leaving this apartment in 9 days with again nowhere to go I really need your help so I can find something more permanent because I am exhausted friends

In its new global ratings report on civic freedoms, the CIVICUS Monitor announced that it has further downgraded Germany’s civic freedom to “Obstructed” – en par with Hungary. Three years ago, Germany's status was "open." monitor.civicus.org/press_releas...

Imagine BEATING your Elderly Citizens for Peacefully Protesting a FOREIGN Entity Shame on you Germany 🇩🇪

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.

10/10 take. No notes.

Kurze Zusammenfassung für alle, denen das jetzt etwas viel wird: Die CDU Berlin vergibt willkürlich Gelder für Antisemitismus-Bekämpfung, u.a. an eine Immobilienfirma mit Geschäftsführer Max Mustermann oder auch an die Kollegin des haushaltspolitischen Sprechers im Parteivorstand Lichterfelde. 1/4

In München zeigt sich, wie eng politische Macht, Diskurskontrolle und rassistisch motivierte Ausgrenzung inzwischen ineinandergreifen.

Nine million euros in federal research funding for a project led by a culture warrior which "assumes that anti-Semitic attitudes are 'a given' in a 'Muslim culture'." Meanwhile the critical humanities wither and die.

Only in Germany: Jewish spokesperson of the Jewish-Palestinian Dialogue, Shelly Steinberg, was barred entry to an event about far-right structures by Munich is Colourful because she previously spoke at a pro-Palestine demonstration on the stage of Palestine Speaks. German memory culture gone amok!

"München ist bunt" verweigert linker Jüdin Zutritt zu Veranstaltung über rechtsextreme Strukturen Das ist wirklich ein Skandal: Am vergangenen Montag wollte unsere jüdische Freundin Shelly Steinberg, die Sprecherin der Jüdisch-Palästinensischen Dialoggruppe ist, zusammen mit

So the main culture war in Germany, fought by the country’s leader, is that despite mass deportations there are still too many non-white men in German cities: which needs to change so that white German daughters can feel safer. That’s an actual position that he is taking. An incitement to violence.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Ein #BMI-Ministerialdirektor fabuliert auf "Anti-Terror-Kongress" mit Kriegsverbrechern in ISR: DEU Proteste gegen #Gazakrieg seien "oft antijüdisch", adressierten religiöse Stätten, hätten am 15. Mai in Berlin ("sog. Nakba") Polizist schwer verletzt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=15eu...

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

“The video of me being beaten went viral because I’m white but the violence I experienced is just a drop in the ocean compared to what my Palestinian, Arab & other racialised comrades have endured at the hands of the German state police over the past 2 years.” This is what solidarity looks like

Arson attack at a internationalist centre Frankfurt, Germany by AntiGerman Zionists by the looks of it. Leaving stickers behind with "W̶E̶S̶T̶B̶A̶N̶K̶ JUDEA AND SAMARIA", "ANTIZIONISTS ARE NEO-NAZIS. EVERYWHERE." and "zionist antifascist" showing two machine pistols.

imagine talking about this like it's a good thing "YAAYYY people absolutely hate our fucking guts and in ten years we'll drown in our shit since everyone here is 80 and no one will wipe our asses for us"

The journalists and politicians pretending that right now is somehow different to every single moment since late 2023 make me sick to my stomach. They are all complicit and none of us should ever forgive them.

Western liberals can't stop depicting trump and putin as a gay couple doing gay stuff. There's so many caricatures of them, out there, either fucking or giving each other a blowjob. Homophobia as the height of liberal criticism of trump and putin. That's it, bruh. That's all the shitlibs have.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

"We can't have Palestinians On Here because some of them are scammers" is the same as "We can't give money to homeless people because they might spend it on drugs and some want to be homeless" is the same as "We can't have universal healthcare because some people will abuse it."

In Germany, I developed a slight obsession with political stickers – and especially the unhinged pro-Israel stickers from the German left's creepy philosemitic neocons, the "anti-Germans" (the most German Germans). For @thediasporist.bsky.social, I wrote up some of the wildest examples

Dieses lange Interview mit Omer Bartov sollten alle lesen, vor allem diejenigen, die sich noch irgendwie hinter Israel stellen. Es geht um Genozid, warum das Sprechen von "Krieg" irreführend ist und warum Deutschland und die USA nach wie vor bedingungslos hinter ihrem Verbündeten stehen.

If you think he decided this today and not in the 1970s when he advocated for Israel invading and annexing Gaza and killing or expelling all the Palestinians there ON AMERICAN TELEVISION then I have a bridge to sell you. Oh and if you don't believe me, search "Ben Netay" on YouTube.

The dominant feature of the Palestine/Israel discourse from the position of Israel’s defenders is one of psychosis and paranoia. That people would eventually downplay and outright deny the horrors of the Holocaust to defend and justify another genocide was inevitable and entirely predictable.

German public media are running fact checks on just how starving individual children are, while serious journalists propose that maybe the children are predisposed to hunger due to inbreeding (also they have low IQ, apparently). Germany unhinged is a truly terrifying spectacle.

watching you dildo brain cock suckers play w/ AI shit is like watching a dog paw at one of those puzzle boxes that you put treats inside of

German journalism when it comes to Gaza is a stain on humanity

Terrifying police violence in Berlin again today, against protestors for Palestine of course. Police in heavy gear hammering away at peaceful demonstrators. And the fascists aren't even technically in power (yet)

A short video about neo-Nazi dress codes in Berlin, which I recorded after yesterday’s protest against Israel’s mass starvation of Palestinians. The most distinctive ones at the moment are Yakuza, Thor Steinar, Lyle and Scott, and Ellesse, but there are others.

The U.K. is a police state

A list of questions from Palestinian children in Gaza, compiled by the staff of the Palestine Trauma Centre in Gaza:

"According to @buchenwald-dora.bsky.social , anyone who wears the symbol of an olive branch is advocating the right of return of Palestinian refugees, which is enshrined in international law (but written in inverted commas by the foundation), and is therefore ‘questioning the existence of Israel’."

Die @buchenwald-dora.bsky.social betreibt rassistische Geschichtsklitterung im Dienste der ethnischen Säuberung Palästinas und des Genozids an den Palästinenser*innen.

"This isn't who America is" Uhm starting wars of choice against countries in Asia, South America, and Africa is as American as apple pie, hot dogs, baseball, and the loser of the popular vote becoming president anyway.
