As several Western nations announce their recognition of a Palestinian state ahead of an upcoming UN General Assembly vote, Israel is accelerating its illegal annexation measures of the occupied West Bank to render a Palestinian state impossible. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/isra... #Palestine #Israel

“A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.” - Albert Einstein

Pre-order THE MUSEUM OF FUTURE MISTAKES from @boa-editions.bsky.social today! www.boaeditions.org/products/the... @taliakolluri.bsky.social says, the book "takes a blade to the seams of ordinary lives to reveal the uncanny nature of the storm that roils beneath the surface for us all."

we are fucking broken as a society when mainstream news publications are saying things like "the school shooting industry is worth billions"

“We have observed approximately 90% of the workers targeted for terminations due to a perceived association with diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are women or nonbinary,” said an attorney representing federal staffers. (Published June)

You guys see where this is going? Right?

I was just telling my girlfriend the other day that the old world is dying. And, my stars, the new world is struggling to be born. And now is the time when you meet such INNNNteresting monsters.

Agents amass in DC, unclear why or which agency. Some masked. Residents: “You’re in a church parking lot—get out!” “We don’t want you kidnapping our neighbors!” Agents start recording too. Soon decide to leave, some mockingly wave their phones. They zoom down the 25mph road, skimming by our feet.

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

"Not long after we met, I knew I wanted to spend my life with you. Let me know if you’d like these opening lines to be warmer or more emotional. Do you want me to personalize them in some way?"

It's almost like gutting the NPS and illegally firing thousands of rangers and wildland firefighters was a stupid idea.

Zohran Mamdani won Hakeem Jeffries's district by 12 points.

'Unprecedented': Israeli directive bans dozens of Americans, Europeans for advocacy - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/unprecedented-israeli-directive-bans-dozens-american-european-advocacy

Private Prisons and ICE and billionaires will get all of your money, Americans. Try to survive in Trump and the GOP's America...if you can. Inshallah.

A physician at a Sudanese clinic said basic antibiotics probably would have cured a three-year-old boy’s chest infection. The medicines had been scheduled to be delivered in February. Then the new U.S. administration froze foreign aid programs. wapo.st/4kgohOr

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV—a refugee himself—is mobilizing priests to accompany migrants at immigration court on June 20. (Via Christopher Hale)

‘The United States was born in war and has waged a war of some sort in every year of its existence. Silicon Valley knows that war is good for business.’ @lalehkhalili.bsky.social on the military technology industry: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

“The distance between what is said, and what is known to be true, has become an abyss…The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands - we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.”

Europe is so morally rotten and weak that it has left a small ship carrying food and medicine unprotected and the lives of its crew, which includes the best European person in the world, subject to the whims of the most enthusiastic and unrestrained mass murderers in the world.

Behaviores Report:100% goode!

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

Thank you Greyhound!

Dear god let this man cook.

Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank isn't being ignored by accident—it's part of a deliberate global acceptance of ongoing genocide and displacement. 4 reasons why the world remains complicit—and how a new generation might finally change that. mondoweiss.net/2025/03/four...

Watching @taliakolluri.bsky.social's ASU Worldbuilding Initiative Distinguished Lecture from Michigan while I'm here with my parents has been so moving. What an incredible writer, an incredible speaker, an incredible person. I'm so grateful to her and to my ASU colleagues for making today happen.

Spring events!

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Musk vows to cancel grants after gaining access to US Treasury payment system www.ft.com/content/27ba...

also I can’t believe it’s called DOGE, we’ve normalized so much but it would be like if a gigantic historic thing bringing about constitutional crises were called like “You Done Goofed Institute of Cash Me Outside.”

Openly, plainly: this is Social Murder. Donald Trump is murdering HIV+ people, and making that murder the policy of the United States of America. Understand the magnitude of what is happening here.

Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!! This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike
