She seems to have an invisible touch
She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch
It takes control and slowly tears you apart

Ugh. Football is bad again.

An mcm style illustration of a red + black (AUKUS) submarine broken in half. The AU section floats above the waterline with a red rescue helicopter and rope ladder above. The KUS section sinks below, trailing thick black smoke, with a hammerhead shark circling beneath. Bubbles rise from the wreck. Below the waterline, warped hand-lettered text reads "let it sink" - the word SINK distorted as if dissolving underwater. Muted greens, greys, red and black with vintage paper texture.

LEAVE AUKUS NOW.

The world can have peace or Israel. It can’t have both.

Today is Thursday the 9th of April 2026. 23 years ago the American invaders entered my Baghdad and Saddam's regime fell. I was a witness to that happening (was 17 at the time). Are you guys in the mood for an Ask Me Anything to commemorate? If yes then feel free to ask.

Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.

APNewsAlert: TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — #Iran includes 'acceptance of enrichment' in Farsi version of its ceasefire plan, something missing from English versions.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail.

Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

I want to resemble a sort of liquid light which stretches beyond visibility or invisibility. Tonight I wish to have the valor and daring to belong to the moon.
