if you can please donate or share 🍉

Woke up today to more Palestinians than ever reaching out asking me to share their campaigns, they can't afford to buy food, there's very little food to buy, & they are surrounded by the hunger screams of their children while sometimes too weak to go to look for scraps of food. So we're doing this:

400 000.

Saeed just wrote me from Gaza. He and his family had to evacuate in the night due to heavy bombing. They desperately need donations for food, a new tent and mattresses. Please share and donate if you have the opportunity!

Again, I need to remind those calling for “reasonable” criticism of “AI” that it is not “reasonable” to try to find the good and useful in a technology whose inventors claim will destroy your career, industry, and, by proxy, your community You’re literally demanding that people behave irrationally.

Please donate or share. Help save this child's life. Please. Do whatever you can to help. Please. 🙏🏾♥️

"Cults recruit the curious, the unaffiliated, the trusting, and the altruistic." - Margaret T. Singer it's sobering to realise that I'm the prototypical cult member. I've found something that will solve all my problems so many times - from therapy balls to mindfulness.

is there a good book on how people employ hypnosis in daily life? From my time in classical music, I’m starting to realise how often I’ve been hypnotised and brought into trance-like states…

I personally think we should allow Gazans to spam all of us all day non stop that this site should be unusable until the genocide is over- but I’m not asking for that- I am asking for reasonable compassionate responses to people

Super important thread about censorship and racism towards Palestinian accounts on here.

I just sent some money to Lubna in Gaza. The situation there is beyond description. Please share and donate if you have the opportunity!

A question about Germany: A singing professor I knew said Sie to her bachelor students, and Du to the master students. This means that the change from the formal to the more intimate form was completely predictable and structured. Is there a term for this phenomenon? Are there other examples?

Ahmad and his family need help www.gofundme.com/f/dnmxx-save...

Well, on the Nietzschean account (Genealogy), Christianity is woven into secular value systems, and in a negative way. So the roots of the problem are v. deep (for him).

I’m reading Talal Asad, he makes the point that there is nothing separating the lifestyle of Christians from others in modern Western societies. What’s the point of such a religion?

I just made a donation to Misk in Gaza. Please share and donate if you have the opportunity!

On my 18th birthday, my biggest concern was teen angst, not my brother's leg injury. Please help if you can.

Hello dear Lubna, I just made a small donation to your campaign. I would be very happy if someone else would donate as well!

I met with the professor and two directors today. They accused me of being irritating and unprofessional, because I pointed out their blatant hypocrisy and double standards. My department head said I was inconsiderate of her feelings, when I corrected a factual error in her opening statement.

Please support Saeed if you have the opportunity!

I just made a donation to Layla - please share and support if you have the opportunity!

People sometimes ask me what kind of accounts need the most help and it’s always the ones that aren’t very good at self promotion and don’t know how to adjust to Bluesky’s rules/ GoFundMes demands. It takes them so much more time to be in a place to raise funds ❤️

It’s almost distressing to see the massive amounts suddenly available for potential legal fees for middle-class academics

On the first day of Eid, Israhell massacred 64 people in Gaza—including over 20 children who were still wearing their new Eid clothes. The world just keeps acting like nothing happens!!!!

Please help if you can

Me to my degree-granting dept.'s Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) in 2023: "What's your plan for protecting grad students from being doxxed and targeted by right-wing assaults due to the nature of their work and/or opinions?" My dept's DGS: *has nothing to say, gives deer-in-the-headlights-eyes*

Free Palestine.

My work has looked at three primary issues: 1st: categorical conflation/redundacy. I show that intersectionality's intuitive observations are incorrect & often assert one category such as race has a causal relationship to an outcome actually caused by another category such as maleness.

Deutschlands Umgang mit seiner Kolonialgeschichte? Genauso peinlich halbherzig wie bei so vielem. Kaum Bewusstsein, kaum Aufarbeitung. Andere Länder zeigen in Museen und Ausstellungen mehr. Wer weiß z.B., dass in Deutsch-Südwestafrika (Namibia) der erste Genozid des 20. Jahrhunderts begann?

Looking at the United States, one cannot help thinking that this is what the country actually is. The racism of today is still the racism of yesterday, and yesteryears.

And subtweet... Kids more often than not would be better off with "nothing" than coercive, 19th century capitalism based public school. Kids have a natural drive to learn. Adults should just watch kids' safety and offer resources/instruction that feeds a child's curiosity.

My friend Motaz and his family need our support. I just made a donation - please share and donate if you have the opportunity!

Just finished this - an essential book on the prevalence and persistence of «Indian fighting» in US military operations, from the Philippines to WW2, to Afghanistan and the Dakota Pipeline. The founding genocide of the US still serves to legitimise counterinsurgency and genocidal wars today.

I just made a modest donation to Osamaa from Palestine. I would be very happy if someone else would donate or share! :)

The liberal gets to have his cake and eat it too. He can condemn both the violence of the oppressor (unless he chooses to look the other way or excuse it) and the oppressed. The liberal only does commentary. Never progressive change!

An update: The other graduate students have shown total support for my position!😊 The professor withdrew his formal complaint, but decided to issue a “statement of concern” about my qualities as a colleague. He would also like to meet in order to give some pointers on proper academic behaviour😄

One of the foremost authorities on racism in Norway just told me that «as a principle, I don’t support violent resistance». the historical implications of that statement are breathtaking

Today I had a conversation with a distinguished professor. I pointed out that it was inconsistent of him to organise workshops in artificial intelligence when he positions himself as an authority on de-growth and Hartmut Rosa. He decided to make a formal complaint against me.

this is basically every US president since JFK
