no greater stain upon my honor as an arab than someone else snagging the check before i can

US media outlets are willing to butcher the English language — along with common sense and human decency — to avoid stating a basic fact: Israel is expanding its occupation of southern Lebanon

A Washington state jury found three protesters guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of an ICE bus that was attempting to relocate prisoners last year. They face a maximum sentence of six years in prison and/or $250,000 in fines. Important reporting from @rangemedia.co:

i finished crocheting my blanket so now i have no excuse to not learn ren'py

I do not believe there is a way to be vocally anti AI and still support/play/promote this company’s titles.

In Seattle, organizers are warning of a growing crisis as more and more trans refugees seek to escape red states. Mutual aid networks of "broke trans people helping broke trans people" are being overwhelmed, and one organizer @evanurquhart.bsky.social spoke with is facing eviction herself.

If you give a damn about trans lives, STOP PRAISING THE POPE AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HIERARCHY. They're literally a key part of trans genocide. Right now. Today. Actively and aggressively. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to them.

The US has been monstrous to Cuba for generations, and yet somehow American depravity has found new hidden depths. There's not even a full handful of people in power here that don't deserve to be dragged before a tribunal at this point.

i miss private twitter so bad. i miss being able to just fart out my thoughts to a circle of my friends and mutuals without having to reach out to each individual person AND with the assurance that randos won't be able to interact

To put it bluntly, most histories of Lebanon suck. They either ignore how the Lebanese entity is a colonial project, or how thoroughly tied together the history of Lebanon is with Palestine and Zionism. I try to redress all this in my latest video essay: youtu.be/Dkcwc0XfvTk

hello!! i have two fundraisers i'd really love to boost: one for a friend who had a GJ tube surgery in january and needs continued support recovering ❤️‍🩹 plz share + donate + boost! www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-bla...

five years ago today i published my senior thesis project That Which Faith Demands, an interactive fiction game about salvaging a fallen mech made from the body of a god jannouna.itch.io/that-which-f...

this is a state sponsored children's torture camp

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

My guess is that the percentage of Americans who are aware that we are blockading and immiserating a neighboring country is in the single digits. Its not an invasion, but involves the use of American military force with the intent of collapsing the government.
