Bluesky discourse: ❌ Crackers called Graham ✅ Graham Crackers

"Not then, not now, never again fascism Never forget Srebrenica genocide" Mural in Amsterdam, of Potočari cemetery featuring the names of different Bosnian towns and cities with the corresponding estimated amount of victims.

🚨Warning Black people!🚨 A 48 hr "post with caution" advisory has been issued! Don't use people's own quotes against them. Your heroes like MLK Jr dedicated their lives to fighting systemic racism, while other people's heroes said that systemic racism doesn't even exist. I know. You've been warned

Look for the helpers

This avoidance of responsibility helps permit so many of the sociopathic behaviors that enable this polycrisis. So seriously, get lost. (Again, of course recognizing that this is a privileged position / experience.) Learning to deal with the consequences just might do you some long-term favors.

This whole thread is the lords work. Thank you

If you’ve ever worked or interacted with Dan Moraff, I’d like to chat for a story. Message marisakabas.04 on Signal.

Solomon speaks the truth as usual

There needs to be a scientific name for the practice of using the rape and/or murder of women you otherwise wouldn't care about as a means of validating your racism.

Every time, there's a swell of, "Why didn't she come forward for us to scream at her earlier in the process?" She's watched people like you scream at people like her her entire fucking life.

Bih

Seems relevant #bribery #corruption

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

We have humans in concentration camps asking us to help them. I want people to think about what history is going to remember. Who did the right thing and who didn’t? A community is only as “good” as the people who live in it. We decide what we are willing to tolerate and we will be judged for it.

All survivors of child sex abuse deserve justive www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

One of the things that really brought a smile to my elderly mother-in-law was hearing what her visitor counts were to her quilting website. Now she's in hospice, so I'm going to try to drive some visitation numbers up quiltsbymarlene.com This is just a fraction of her 50 years of quilting.

Smallpox, for those of us lucky to have been vaccinated against it.

that's the foreskin.

Maybe you want to support Indigenous students... I am on the steering committee and mentor for the Caleb Scholar's program, which supports higher education students who want to use their education to preserve our ways of life. We welcome donations! www.calebscholars.org

Older I get, the more convinced I am that we should migrate most income taxes towards wealth taxes

UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy quits TwitterX. This should be the first of many.

This is especially true if a man is built like a threatened anteater. Miller has relatively narrow shoulders and wide hips, which means there's not much shape through the torso.

An extraordinary cancer stat recently just dropped: zero. That’s how many UK women in their early 20s died from cervical cancer between 2020-24. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com is on 20 years of HPV vaccines--& how the US could better maximize the potential of this critical public health tool (🎁):

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

As a matter of fact: We absolutely shouldn’t. Authoritarians need us to obey their bullshit laws. Authoritarians count on the population being so used to “norms” like “rule of law” and the idea that laws are somehow irrefutable and must be obeyed. They count on us obeying illegitimate authority.

We can apply this kind of exercise to many other things. Not just colors. This is how we change norms. Blippity bloopity, my friends. Blippity bloopity.

The donkey-in-chief. What a tragedy

I’m from the gulf, it ain’t no thing for us to have shrimp 3-4 times a day & we piss pot poor It ain’t called a shrimp “rich boy” is it? They’ve been working class food longer than the country’s been around.

As I’ve said before, I don’t agree with riots or vigilante groups seeking retribution for violence against women. But where are all those rioters now?!? Curious www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The lived experience in this thread, about immigrants to the US and when they ‘attained whiteness’

“The organized lying practiced by totalitarian states is not … a temporary expedient of the same nature as military deception. It is something integral to totalitarianism, something that would still continue even if concentration camps and secret police forces had ceased to be necessary.”

Technically, they’re Remains now.

I do not call for violence against child rapists like this DUP politician but I’m curious where the rioters are?? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

‘Compassionate use’ lol

Worth reposting this study, aka what we call ‘evidence-based health research’ in the scientific community, which quantifies lives lost because of USAID funding cuts

AMAZING!

Beautiful poetry

Ta-Nehisi places the “don’t vote for Kamala unless she disavows Israel” & the “vote for Kamala b/c Trump will be worse” camps into historical & political context here. The headline is misleading, the article is gold. This should be the last word on this divisive argument. READ IT

I would never advocate for violence, or a riot. Interesting what kind of ‘perpetrators’ get rioted about tho

Can confirm that no trouble is expected this evening in Belfast after Jeffrey Donaldson was found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting two children.

Huh wonder what caused this nope no idea 🤷‍♀️
