Boycott them for as long as you can. Some, even forever.

Community thrives when
corporations die.

Listening to Palestinian Silences: On Fady Joudah’s [. . .] What future will we look back from, onto the current moment? An unprecedented catastrophe, when Israel’s military has killed and buried tens of thousands of Palestinians alive in a matter of months…

@emanquotah.bsky.social on Fady Joudah’s [. . .] and the inability of language to convey the horrors of genocide and erasure.

BREAKING: McDonald's has lost over $7 billion in revenue due to global boycotts, according to Israeli financial media. The BDS movement has targeted McDonald's due to its support for Israel's genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip.

#BDSworks.

If being cisgender is so natural, why do you have to maintain its stronghold on the culture and the world? If it’s so natural, why must it constantly be enforced? Why are you so threatened?

Unless…

Too many people hate on Trump as a performance. Hating on that menace is easy but I want to see y’all actually show up for trans people and undocumented folks. Do the things that don’t get you clout on social media.

I also adopted an old, sick, stinky cat thinking she had a couple of months left, it’s been 6 years and she’s my whole life

went on a side quest and finished reading The Girls by Emma Cline. I loved her prose. captivating story, I enjoyed the jumps in the timeline, the lowkey suspense/looming doom and the way the narrator acknowledges the darkness of the story while also telling it from her experience & perspective.

In a final burst of violence, Nentayahu and his fascist stooges at the helm of Israel have decided to sabotage the ceasefire agreement.
It's time for this government to actually have some courage! Cut diplomatic relations, Arms Embargo, impose economic sanctions and prosecute all genocidaires!

if those most affected by a crisis are celebrating some victory, join their joy, or witness it. a journey is made of steps, a change is made by moments, a worldview transformation must feel compelling, feel possible. a breath for joy, a second to touch the grief, don’t take it - join, or witness.

Despite a ceasefire set for Sunday, Israeli forces continue attacking Gaza, killing dozens of Palestinians just hours after the announcement.

biden doesn’t deserve credit for shit, he’ll forever be remembered as genocide joe and that’s it. he allowed this to go on for wayyyyy too long to “deserve credit” in any way shape or form

people are just so afraid of grief and I think it’s a shame that they project that unto their kids instead of facing the reality that we all have to deal with grief at some point and it’s much better to be prepared for it

you had me at “cat-photographer”

this is the journalism I want to see, the writing of #metoo that we need

Credit to Lila Shapiro for doing such an excellent job with this piece. It's empathetic but unflinching, covers so much ground, cuts off any "but wasn't it kink" contrarian defences, and paints a detailed portrait of power, arrogance, and how a "geek favourite" wielded such control.

I finished reading The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion last week and what a powerful account of grief— I’ve navigated so much grief recently, and her words kept feeling like they crawled under my skin and reached into wherever grief lives in body (still tbd)

I can never say the “most” anything ever because they depend so much on timing and life and and and — but

recently read Bluets by Maggie Nelson and I don’t wanna be dramatic but I think it changed my lofe

currently reading:

Autobiography of Red - Anne Carson
Be a Revolution - Ijeoma Oluo (audiobook)
Artist - Yeong-shin Ma (Moms was incredible!!)

"The beauty of anti-racism is that you don't have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself."

~ Ijeoma Oluo
