This is a lovely project for kids’ handicrafts and no one ever gives to it. It’d mean income for Ibtihal (to buy food) & joy for Palestinian kids. I’ve matched my sister, can you match one of us? Can you text a family member to match you? Can you click “monthly”? www.gofundme.com/f/rebuilding...

ICYMI, earlier this year, Ars Technica covered one of my shark research fundraiser charters. Yes, I can bring you and your group (of up to 15 total people) on a shark research expedition in Florida! Interested? Let's chat. arstechnica.com/science/2025... 🧪🦑🌎🦈

This would be cool if it weren’t for y’know all the murder, kidnapping, and general misery.

If people come to believe their pain was a part of *your* plan as well that’s not going to endear them towards you.

Modi has already done this in india, they are checking in each others' notes

The trouble with the people whining about "the male loneliness epidemic" is they reject every possible solution to it other than "submit to fascism"

Walk in the hills with @welshnaturelady.bsky.social, nothing much of note, but nice all the same.

The history of the "white gloves" in cartoons. As usual the answer is racism.

i have developed certain chronic conditions which require me to reduce my stress to manage - and i have been managing, mostly with cute real and ai cat pics on insta. while current events are not helping, opening the current event sites immediately makes it worse. so be back.. sometime

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter

This is political violence.

a brief return in dishonor of shot in the neck dude, just to post this song. will hopefully be back. stay strong and piss off as many nazi assholes as you can!

I barely knew who that guy was, yet every politician in the global north, no matter their affiliation, seems to be mourning the death of one nazi influencer. The former 'liberal world order' desperately wants to signal to the new fascist world order that they're all on the same side.

Prime minister Tshering Tobgay’s memoir is all praise for Bhutan’s monarchy and fledgling democracy, but it misrepresents the Lhotshampa expulsion and the fraught political history of the “Kingdom of Happiness”. @maxmorch.bsky.social writes:

THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.

This may be the best I’ve seen in Lexington KY #NoKings

For 22 years, Enilda Jiménez and her siblings were forced off their land in Colombia after their father was assassinated. When they returned, they decided to turn their land into a private nature reserve that mixes a model of nonintrusive cattle farming with ecotourism.

My senior thesis at Princeton was on violence in Brazil. One of the strongest correlates was racially mixed neighborhoods with high rates of private security, often off duty cops. I would be surprised if the same didn’t hold true here. Remember Chauvin worked security at the same club as Floyd.

If you lived in Delhi during the pandemic, this is impossible to forget. Other moments of earlier Indian twitter include the nationwide response to Rohith Vemula's institutional murder, and Bar and Bench literally born from Gautam Bhatia livetweeting the Sec 377 case.

White Americans have decided to replicate the discourse that happens every time an RWA uncle gets teased at a traffic light by a hijra who is begging and therefore decides to post a readmore long thesis on whatsapp about how giving a 3 year old a 5 rupee coin funds terrorism actually.

Also, something the rest of the world doesn't have a clue about, has never been written about, and is just retained in memory: the fact that Twitter became the citizen-run forum & bulletin board for Indians to find oxygen & hospital beds during the pandemic's peak, when the government absconded.
