Folks, it’s a real mess out there:

I generally abide by the "do no harm" principles when it comes to nature but I'm a territorial animal so get the fuck out of my house. Guangdong is when Chinese say "we have Australia at home" Ayayay.

Just saw this Chinese petit bourgeosie on Rednote bragging about how she likes this European tourist spot because "you only see white tourists here no Asian faces". And then when people call her out she's like "I'm just into niche subculture". Girl you aren't. You are just sad, racist, Eurocentric.

Nothing is more depressing than watching young artists give other young artists advice like “only use one colour palette in everything you do to have a more recognizable brand” and “draw everything with a target audience in mind”

I wrote about the topsy-turvy un-realism of fascism and the ignore-ance of its comfortable enablers—who by their very use of the term "nonviolent" ignore an already brutally violent situation, and demand perpetual sacrificial performances to secure their support. www.the-reframe.com/are-you-brav...

Rising antisemitism is the UK is real, but mainstream commentary on its meaning and causes has been worse than useless. We spoke to Barnaby Raine about the moral panic deployed by those who claim to be "protecting Jews". www.equator.org/articles/goo...

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

What the fuck

My VtM players are so bitter about me abandoning TRPG hosting for writing novels lmao. Guess I will scrape the lore in my novel together and make a rule set out of it lol.

Today, we remember the victims of the Nakba — the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the creation of Israel in 1948, under British colonial rule and with the backing of Western powers after WWII. We will not rest until Palestine is free.

IF YOU TOLERATE THIS, THEN YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT IS A SONG WRITTEN BY WELSH COMMUNISTS ABOUT THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR AND THE THREAT OF NATIONALIST FASCISM.

Which is also why I don't want to make money out of my practice, at least as much as I can afford. The moment you make it a capitalist transaction, that magical feeling combusts.

The nakba never ended.

Admittedly, I'm not as spiritual as a typical witch is, more like a nerd who's into learning about occultism and occasionally use it to tap into my instinct or as a form of therapy. But I notice how the notion of me bringing witchy flavours into people's lives brighten their day.

As noted in the article, deeply unlikely to succeed on First Amendment grounds here in the US, and as the kids like to say, discovery in such a suit would be... interesting. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Every month, thousands of working class New Yorkers use Western Union to send money to loved ones. Now Western Union wants to buy its top competitor, Intermex, so it can jack up remittance fees and squeeze families even more. Families shouldn’t pay the price for corporate monopolies.

One good thing about being a witch is you never worry about gift ideas. You just DIY candles/bracelets/pendants and people automatically assume they are magical and special and get real excited about it.

Saw an AI bro refer to "brain-only writers" lol

I always say the only reason we didn't stop Israel like we stopped German Nazis is because unlike Nazis they are not killing white people so no one gives a fuck

It's important to not let the west pin the guilt of Palestinian genocide solely on "Israeli influence". The reason they support it runs far deeper than the lobby. In the end it's a colonial project, and western prosperity was founded on colonialism, so endorsing Israel is just a habitual force.

Americans watch some indie movies, buy some indie books & comics made outside the USA challenge

Ahhh I've been living like a hermit for a last couple of weeks with no internet. Deep diving into depressing history books does have that effect. On the bright side, I do think a periodic social media detoxing is mandatory for my mental health.

I'll probably have so many microplastics in me when I die that when my body decomposes it'll leave behind a 1:1 scale model of me

Per a conversation w/ @thefallingdream.bsky.social: "AI Psychosis": ableist, saneist, makes it seem like an individual problem; washed "AI Ensorcellment": highlights both the truth of the magico-religious commitments underlying all tech *&* the curse-like nature of systemic "AI" impositions; fire

Was listening to Latino folk music (love Chilean ones by the way think I will base a character on Victor Jara) and it really struck me how connected to the working class and the poor in general the music was back then, just like blues and soul music.

In a city of over 8 million, just 400 people showed up to speak at the last Rent Guidelines Board hearing — where decisions about rents are made. We can do better. The next hearings are this June — show up and make your voice heard. Visit ORGANIZE.NYC.GOV to get involved.

This is the kind of news report that gives me a profound understanding about how schizophrenic liberalism is as an ideology. So many layers of absurdity in this argument I can't even begin.

Israeli forces have killed 12 Palestinians, including six police officers, in multiple attacks across Gaza. Despite a six-month long ceasefire, Israeli forces are committing daily violations that have killed almost 1,000 people.

Tenants & landlords of NYC: the Rent Guidelines Board needs to hear from you. The RGB decides whether the rents of the city’s one million rent stabilized apartments go up or stay the same. Public hearings are where New Yorkers will share their experiences. All are welcome. More info: nyc.gov/RGB

I don’t want NYC to become a museum. It should be a living, breathing testament to the working people of our city.

It sounds surreal but corporate circles can indeed brainwash you like cults. I studied in business schools and worked in similar companies. It was totally normal for people to see, say diabetes patients as sources of profit instead of, well, people.

Just a thing I noticed. My prose has always been described as "classical", which seems to be better received by English-speaking immigrants than native English speakers. I wonder if it's because overseas English education tends to lean on classic literature. #booksky

not even a single thought

Sold 10 Books in the first two weeks🥳Probably trickles for all the big writers but considering it's my debut and a niche literary fantasy, and that I have no social media fame/not much advertising/my real-life families and friends don't read, still pretty proud😎 #booksky
