I'm a writer and a translator. I used to translate books and dreams. Now, I translate suffering and hope. Every day, I document my life and the agony of this genocide. I write to make sure that these moments, these tears, and these moments of resilience are not forgotten.

Ruaa really needs help today. I was able to send $20, can you match me? Or more? Or share? chuffed.org/project/help...

Memorizing phone numbers is a lost art I need to get back into.

This @offshootjournal.bsky.social zine comes out of necessity. Take a firm stand against those romanticizing the ruling class of old because they donated some of the wealth they took in blood. It was hoarded by oppressing people throughout this country and the world. There are no good oligarchs.

This is great news!

"Targeted by the [100,000+] demonstrators was an Israeli team, called Israel-Premier Tech." "Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday backed the demonstrators and called for Israel's total ban from international sporting competitions." #Spain #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Policing #Genocide

I have an hour and a half to eat lunch and do a fast house cleaning blast. What should I watch on Tubi as background noise?

Make wearing a mask in any public indoor space and crowded outdoor space a habit and it stops being this weird extra thing you have to remember!

Covid rates are surging across the country. There has never been a better time to start masking again. pmc19.com/data/

Every American news story the past few days: youtu.be/71PNZH1OaW0

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.

It’s intentional. They’re doing it on purpose. They know people only read the headline. The misdirection aligns with the paper’s values. It’s not sloppy, it’s purposeful. They’re doing it on purpose.

My cat ate her treats too fast and ran to throw up IN THE LITTERBOX. She’s such a little champ.

Mamdani apologizing to NYPD and distancing himself from defunding the police shows why electoral politics risk burning people out. So much labor, emotional investment, and sacrifice go into politicians who deliver business as usual when the time comes.

The Trump administration is attempting to roll back the 2021 Roadless Rule that would open up forests across the country to road development. Here's a blog with more info and a link to submit testimony. There's only 21 days to submit testimony www.oregontrailscoalition.org/post/roadles...

Ok, last night the battery started to visibly pillow and thats what popped my screen off. Powered it off and will properly dispose of it while my replacement phone comes. If you have prints/stickers/bookmarks you've been eying... now is a great time to visit my shop! nimasprout.shop

I've only just started it but I've got to say it's compulsively readable as well.

The co-owner of The Satanic Temple has an almost infinite number of “no fucks” to give for all kinds of political violence and victims (the enforced silence on TST re: police brutality and George Floyd’s lynching is well-known internally) but a white bigot gets killed and he’s johnny on the spot

I’m really sick, I think I’ve caught COVID again. Please share& donate we are so close!

So a group of trans folks in Portland are trying to secure funds for a property they can use to house homeless bipoc trans women and femmes as well as providing meals to the growing homeless population. Literally anything helps so please donate or spread the word! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

"If we lose contact with our boats for even 20 minutes, with our comrades, we will block all of Europe." "Italian dockworkers in the Port of Genoa are prepared to go on strike to defend the flotilla in an act that would majorly disrupt global shipping." #Italy #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide

If you are in a position to be able to help Mohammed and his family please do! chuffed.org/project/1315...

Yesterday Cozca was arrested at ICE she was injured and taken by ambulance with fed car following Although I don't know the extent of injuries I don't want to call them minor but they were not life-threatening* We still have not gotten any confirmation of where she is since then 🙏🏻🖤🖤

A key feature of this kind of rhetoric is something closely in common with AGP theory: it works to associate trans women with masculinity in the audience’s mind. The unspoken leap is “many young men are tempted into Nazism -> trans women are behaviorally like young men”

When people argue that trans people refusing to support transphobic Democrats is some kind of stubborn ideological purity, what they're saying is that trans people aren't entitled to any boundaries, standards, or dignity. That we're supposed to tolerate whatever we're given.

I only did a quick check when the underlying conditions thing was announced so good to look for yourself, but the list of conditions that qualify you for Novavax is pretty long and general if that’s a concern

Fuckin Tammy Preston hours over here

@/yourfriendpiper abused me. I didn't want to talk about it, but she won't stop, so here's my account If you look at this on desktop CW for flashing lights and music

I hate the framing of "trans are bad at sports anyways". When trans women are really good at their chosen sport, it shouldn't make the argument to push us out of the game valid. We are allowed to succeed. We deserve to be celebrated. We don't get to participate just because we're bad

Was anyone else a seller on Etsy back in the day when there were forums and they were absolutely chaotic? When Courtney Love would logon to post completely indecipherable walls of text?

Please help Ruaa buy a tent!

Genuinely the most fun and hopeful social media posts to see are when trans people get approved to start HRT or other gender-affirming care, I always get so happy!

If you can help in anyway, even by sharing, please do!

one of the reasons talia's writing feels like fresh air is that she just says out loud "most queer academia is transmisogynistic" without hemming and hawing or rushing to defend cis white male queer luminaries whose pedestals must never be disturbed and it feels like suddenly i am sane again

fuckin LOL

I can't ever see myself using AI even if it didn't come at an enormous ethical/environmental cost. But, especially in the early phases of midjourney, I thought AI had the potential to do extremely weird, funny, surrealist stuff. It could have been a 21st century circuit bender.

Historic Gaza City (in the northern part of the Gaza Strip) is being decimated by israeli forces every day. israel is completing the erasure of Palestinian history in Gaza by destroying some of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city: Shujaiyyah, Al-Daraj, Al-Zaitoun, Tuffah, Sabra

Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.

Donate to abortion funds! Remind your friends to donate to abortion funds! These funds are life-saving and often provide much more than medical care. *Mia Wong voice* Moreover, free abortions on demand

I will face my modulation. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has been reframed, I will turn the inner eye to see it disengage.

"So you see, during WW2 two world powers agreed to collaborate with each other in order to maintain their world power, which is why it's important that you, a marginalized person living in precarity, agree that Gavin Newsom is getting in some sick burns."

Oh my god i forgot about this dream!! Ahaha he sings it!!
