Amazing that damage to a crucifix is forcing Israel to do PR damage control while the systematic rape of prisoners *as policy* is not. [c/w details in this piece are *extremely* upsetting] www.middleeasteye.net/news/i-wishe...
Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

Title: Easter Egg Hunt techniques inspired by great detectives Panel 1: Sherlock Holmes. Deduce the exact location of every egg from seemingly unrelated details without leaving your room. Send your amazed sidekick to fetch them. Panel 2: Jack Reacher Hit the garden hard and fast. Take no prisoners Get back on the road. This approach results in a thrillingly intense hunt, but very few intact eggs. Panel 3: George Smiley Meticulously assess documents, people and motives. Then scrupulously collect the eggs and dejectedly wonder if any of it was worthwhile.

The Barrow Will Send What It May by Margaret Killjoy. It reminded me of the anarchist-punk, DIY world I knew much better 25 years ago, but with magic.

Six years ago today, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor was shot six times and killed by police officers who forced entry into her Louisville, KY apartment. Her death sparked nationwide outrage and calls for an end to police brutality and gun violence against Black people. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter
After years of tenant activism pushing for better rent protections Manitoba is making some good changes for some renters, but still leaving thousands unprotected. A victory for tenant organizing & advocacy - and we need to push for even more!

Not a single word about international law—these attacks are clearly, unambiguously illegal.
Not a single word about sovereignty—Carney’s supposed bedrock value, as claimed in Davos.
No concern about Iran being attacked by the US while pursuing diplomacy—as Canada embarks on existential USMCA talks.

This is what you endorsed this morning @mark-carney.bsky.social The mass-killing of children. What happened to the middle-powers building “a new order that encompasses our values, such as respect for human rights, sustainable development, solidarity, sovereignty and territorial integrity”?
