Leila Khaled reflects on her lifetime of resistance, the significance of October 7 for the global solidarity movement, and the way forward for Palestinian liberation. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/12/october-7-proved-the-importance-of-the-struggle-to-the-world-an-interview-with-palestinian-icon-leil…

An Israeli think tank issued a report on October 17 promoting the "unique and rare opportunity" for the “relocation and final settlement of the entire Gaza population.”

Palestinians hold deep skepticism of courts based on generations of Israeli abuse. But the ICC warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant are a moment to expose the contradictions of the American Empire and put a crack in the veneer of impunity. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/11/the-icc-warrant…

Hamra, Beirut where last night’s Israeli strike took place hours before the ceasefire. Looks like it hit a currency exchange shop. Many displaced families in the commercial neighborhood have already packed up to return to southern Lebanon and Beirut southern suburbs.

Our lives have been a one long intractable war interrupted by short intervals of ceasefires and not the other way around. We will never know peace until liberation from Israel‘s oppression and domination.

i’ll be in Taiwan this weekend playing at Sonic Shaman part of TheCube Forum Music Festival

hello! a brief introduction! as an artist / musician / writer my work revolves around human-machine relationships & intimacies i 💜 bicycles in all its radical + transformative dimensions the most urgent aspect of my work of late is solidarity with Palestine, from radio broadcasts to mutual aid

This is the musical arm of the e/acc movement, it’s apocalyptic kleptocracy in aims of an accelerated downfall to further fund more profitable surveillance miltech and using AI to deny ppl healthcare, much like Daniel Ek’s other startup ventures. You need to grasp there is no apolitical media now.

omg i’m having a surge of new followers on here which is wild hello good people!

speculative f(r)iction n°1 stories about bicycles as a vehicle for resistance the bicycle has always been a symbol of resistance to me when it comes to living in a very car-centric city; the roads and to some degree the wider public can be hostile against the presence of someone on a bicycle

popping in to butterfly site to say i’m pretty psyched for my next solo record 🫨

a little sneak of something i’ve been stewing for awhile; making new scores for voice(s) which i’m looking forward to workshop, rehearse and present hopefully some time this year

if it’s one thing anyone could commit a practice of/to, it is one that is rooted in a desire to produce less waste being an agent of friction is just as necessary because we really need to slow down drastically if any of our actions are to be remotely useful in preventing ecological collapse
