In response, I would like to coin the phrase "social self defense" as being the expected and acceptable response to constantly committing social murder. I would give examples, but that would be against TOS probably.

Me and @momodriller.bsky.social's sweet baby boy has lost limb function very suddenly and is getting worse daily. He needs an MRI and (likely) surgery. It's expensive. We've already spent over $1k and can't afford much more, & he's running out of time. Anything helps, thank you. gofund.me/ba3da64f4

Addressing economic disparity and expanding genuine upward‑mobility can remove one of the strongest drivers that makes fascist ideas attractive. Tackling inequality is a crucial piece of the puzzle to defeating a fascist regime.

I'm a firm believer that this liminal period between the holidays and New Year's is how we're supposed to live. It's peak existence. May the word "efficiency" die in 2026 and all its horrible relatives "innovating" to solve the perceived problems of rest, joy, creativity, and humanity.

😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞🙏🙏🙏💔 I need to provide the necessary treatment for my child, Asir. It has been a long time since the lack of treatment. My child has a high fever and is unable to move; he wants to stay asleep. I appreciate every donation. Please donate what you can.😢😢😞🙏🙏💔 #Freepalestine #MerryChristmas

Rawrley only has seven teeth. He can't eat dry food (only Pate cans). I have been managing his symptoms, and he's getting better (recovering from a cat cold). The food toppers are very very good for encouraging his healthy eating, especially when sick! Thank you for ANY help for him!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I’m holding your hand while I say it: what happens in Palestine impacts you. It does.

I’m calling it now: 2026 is the year that everything becomes good again instead of bad. UNO reverso. Zero doubt, all good, no bad.

I won't write much, but see for yourselves how the tent sways above the head of a baby girl who hasn't even completed her first week of life. I hope my voice reaches those with compassionate hearts, and that you don't forget our children in your support and assistance.🙏💔💔 gofund.me/8bc2934b

You don't know what day it is. You're eating countless meals a day with lots of snacks in between. You're napping throughout they day. Either it's the time between Christmas and New Year or you're a cat.

This is a very difficult read. Mohammed Ibrahim’s account is also an account of all of the other Palestinian children locked up in the entity’s network of torture camps… This torture will continue until the entity is completely dismantled. www.infinitejaz.com/p/mohammed-i...

Our New Years resolution should be revolution.

Look I understand not everyone agrees on everything and blah blah blah but there is literally no good reason for anyone to go to bat for people with an insatiable hole in their soul that they’re desperately trying to fill with obscene hordes of stolen wealth on a planet where most don’t have enough.

It's getting noticeably colder in Gaza as a new storm approaches, expected to last for four days. If you can, please help Heba, her kids and their cat, to stay warm and fed. gofund.me/ef391201 @mommunism.bsky.social @gofund-gaza.bsky.social @pepsffk.bsky.social @slimyswampghost.bsky.social #SkyAid 🍉

Pro tip: for my fellow feline lovers, the search term you want to use to access a fire hose of Japanese language cat photos and illustrations is "猫" or "ねこ". Here's a timeline cleanser: bsky.app/profile/mnt....

If you only consume mainstream media, you might think that there's peace in the Middle East just now. For Bylines Scotland, I took a look at what's really going on in Gaza, and why people there need help more urgently than ever. bylines.scot/news/world/h...

my festive spirit amidst our grimly stupid reality (2025)

Yeah no more right shift to compromise, we as a planet need to start yanking back left and hard. Perhaps hard enough those on the far right fall off it.

Even our cat Lucy is not spared from hunger and cannot find anything to satisfy her hunger like my children.

The winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere marks the start of Yule

This holiday season don't forget to eat your vegetables. And pie. And also read a book. Two out of three (healthy endeavors) ain't bad.

You could be a climate and/or political refugee tomorrow. No matter how safe you feel right now. That’s how fast the world is changing. Act with that in mind—toward yourself, and towards others.
