Last day for submission!

Been trying to put that into words all morning

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This is so neat- Fedaa and Motaz had a film made about their life in Gaza while Fedaa was a pediatrician at Nasser Hospital that is going to be screened on the 16th and also in some film festivals!

A lot of Mamdani critics complained that anti-Zionism was a core part of his platform — it wasn’t. More significant is that he didn’t have to twist himself in knots to defend Israel, which contributed to his core being pitch of being an authentic leader.

During the most intense bombing of North Gaza, Hayat's family lost the longtime shelter they had, including their warm clothes for the winter. Can you help her raise $100 to prepare for the cold weather? 🙏🏾 @mommunism.bsky.social gofund.me/4a63836b7

My name is Hayat, and I'm from the devastated Gaza Strip. I have two children, Khaled and Fatima, whom I gave birth to during the war. I once worked as an engineer. Now I'm unemployed and homeless. My children and I are hungry, and we live a very miserable life. Please help me. gofund.me/aa9284857

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since. www.polygon.com/strange-days...

Israel continues to blockade Gaza and deny food and medicine to the people of Palestine. My friend Sama'a is trying to prepare for winter, and she needs our help to keep her family fed and warm. gofund.me/db56c7ce3

The rain has started in Gaza, and my family’s tent can’t protect them from the cold 💔 They urgently need nylon to cover the tent and stay safe this winter. Even a small donation can help keep them warm and dry 🕊️ chuffed.org/project/1153...

Hellfighters by @dominiqmarks.bsky.social has a lot of underworld crime going on but then super weird things start to happen👀 I feel like this one is one of those gems which is waiting to be discovered! Outstanding cosmic thrills and horror set during the Harlem Renaissance. Wonderful characters!

Hayat has posted a new update to her campaign, with photos of her family and her two beautiful children, Khaled and Fatima. Earlier this year they lost shelter and clothing during the bombing. Please share and help her save funds to relocate and survive the coming winter. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 gofund.me/1a09a32ce

I’m a mother of three, living with lupus, and my husband is very sick. We lost our home in the war and now live in a torn tent. My children often go to sleep hungry. We need food, medicine, and shelter. Please donate—your help means everything. #SaveAFamily #Gaza #DonateForLife

Soso is in the hospital, her condition deteriorating due to a lack of food. 💔 Every moment of support could save her life. 🙏 A simple helping hand, or even sharing this post, could save her life. 🥹🙏 chuffed.org/project/mahmou…

As well as recipes, my patreon is full of my art. You can help support me and get paintings and drawings like these sent to your inbox every week. There's a whole series done in the style of Picasso with African influences on subjects like Black women.

I also opened emergency comms: bsky.app/profile/fall... My knitting patterns don't require shipping also, and they're in the shop tab under the patterns tag.

Winter is coming is really a scary statement for those in Gaza. Heavy rains and temperatures dropping to 6-9°c. The global north has heating: in gaza THERE ARE NOT ROOFS. Helping a Palestinian family secure a roof is 100% worth it chuffed.org/project/help...

I really think our species’ entire future hinges on whether these mass murderers are allowed to rejoin society and prosper or are rejected, ostracized, and brought to justice. Gaza isn’t in a vacuum. What we allow, or punish, there will bleed through to stain the entire world.

59% of Americans - including 80% of Democrats and 41% of Republicans - think the U.S. should recognize Palestinian statehood. This comes as both the Democratic and Republican parties oppose unilateral recognition. Reuters/Ipsos poll

Early retirement withdrawals for hardship have tripled since 2020, as disasters strike and insurance fails — leaving workers on their own in old age.

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”. Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety. My latest: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Today for @theverge.com, I talk about transfem narratives: the epistemic lockout from mainstream publishing, the advantages and pitfalls of the self-pub model, and what a global transmisogynistic panic implies for our ability to make our voices heard and represent our own lives and worlds.

Every time I speak with Eslam she asks me to help getting her @soma-eslam.bsky.social account restored. She had a whole community on Bluesky and it was unfairly taken from her. If you want to email [email protected] to ask for it to be restored it would maybe be helpful ❤️

COVID is still here.

Theyre just doing cointelpro again but with far more bloated stupid people

Things will stay stuck unless and until people reckon with why and how we got here *honestly.* So far the self-distancing from the problem and "We'll Be Back/This is Not Us/Lets Sue Our Way Out of Authoritarianism" Juice is beating y'all's asses. I promise the exceptionalism won't help.

We made a reading list for you.

'Rather than perceiving “the West” as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence... If Israel is the West and the West is Israel, then Palestine is the world and the world is Palestine.' www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2607-a...

U.S. politicians' viewpoints run from rabid pro-Israeli Zionists (e.g., Randy Fine, John Fetterman) to apologetic pro-Israeli Zionists (e.g., Ro Khanna, Rand Paul). There's virtually no one, with a handful of notable exceptions, that sees Palestinians as human beings with rights worth protecting. 🫠

“Stay with Gaza even after the war ends.” Palestinian journalist Saleh Al-Jaafarawi sends a heartfelt message of thanks to everyone who supported, stood by, and protested for #Gaza and the Palestinian cause. #Solidarity4Ever #R2P #StopIsraelimpunity #BDS #FreePalestine t.me/QudsNen/190772

Please contribute if you're able or share if you're not. Directly asking people you know is most effective

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword. We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

Today is a great day to reread EARTHDIVERS by @sgj.bsky.social, starting with Vol 1: KILL COLUMBUS.
