these are not the circumstances under which I assumed president trump would unhesitatingly recite the shahada

Can't remember what happened yesterday, *can* remember all the lyrics to the Romance & Yasmin and La Juderia.

Practising self-care by being a VERY EARNEST LITTLE NERD.

Keeping my 20-year Yasmin Levy obsession alive by singing Yo en la Prisíon to my son after trapping him in a circle of cushions and buying him a Ladino picture book.

In troubling news, I dreamt Peter Mandelson opened the door to me while I was on the toilet.

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

The five brave Palestinian journalists whom Israel targeted and killed today (left-right):
-Anas al-Sharif (correspondent)
-Mohammed Qreiqeh (correspondent) -Ibrahim Zaher (camera operator)
-Muhammad Al-Khalidi (photojournalist)
-Mohammed Noufal (camera operator)
-Moamen Aliwa (camera operator)

Oh my God. Anas had one of the biggest platforms among journalists in Gaza. He was just killed in a targeted strike on the Al Jazeera tent. Comes after Israel targeted and murdered hundreds of other journalists.

This is intentional and purposeful to erase news coming out of Gaza. No doubt.

Anas Al-Sharif pictured with his two young children that he is holding. They are all smiling.

Anas Al-Sharif was one of the most remarkable reporters of his generation. For 673 days, he defied Israeli threats to kill him.

Al Jazeera now confirm their crew in Gaza City have all been assassinated:

RIP reporters Anas Al-Sharif & Mohammed Qareqea and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher & Mohammed Nofal

They killed anas. I cant believe it.

It's giving Kurtan Mucklowe.

Been off social media for Lent but now I'm back and get to engage with the most heart-sickening news stories on multiple platforms again. So, happy Easter, free Palestine, trans liberation now, and autistic people are people worthy of everything. RFK fuck off xxx

A photo of a young woman and “"Tay Beales a 22 year old lesbian was thrown out of Marks snd Spencer toilets when staff said she was a man. She was told to use the men's toilets. This is the future 'gender critical feminists' want."

The harassment of gender nonconforming women is a feature, not a bug, of anti-gender ideology. The plan was always to force us to conform to heteronormative patriarchy

Love how every single liberal party strategy is “moving right wins elections” then when moving right repeatedly fails to win elections cause they’re running against OPENLY RIGHT-WING PARTIES they just go “Well clearly we didn’t move right enough.” Like even a child could tell you what’s wrong

I didn’t kill Hitler with my own three hands just to see some kraut named “Keir Starmer” (Stürmer???) run England

I feel like batch-cooking is far easier for me if I’m able to imagine myself as a thrifty Ukrainian grandmother and not, like, a right-wing gym bro joylessly preparing a week’s worth of plain chicken breast.

Three nights of borscht for dinner, zero regrets.

Google is tripe kosher All Images Videos Shopping Forums News Al Overview Learn more : Whether tripe is kosher depends on the religion of the cow. Kosher meat can be ordered online, including kosher beef tripe. ~ Generative Al is experimental.

I don’t know if Google can top this, their finest work to date

Is it weird that I once took myself on a personal Luther pilgrimage there? I’ve seen his stove and everything.

I made so much borscht last night that I had to transfer it to a jam pan halfway through cooking to fit in all the ingredients.
Anyway, it was truly and surprisingly delicious. Sorry to all the borscht lovers for being a hater.

I'll suggest it, couldn't hurt.

Reestablish some sort of agency... that feels like something I need on my list too.

As a Labour voter/centrist dad in my family said the other day, 'I just hate seeing Labour getting a hard time'. WHY? They are despicable a-holes.

It's the kind of thing that makes it easy to imagine lots of very anxious very distressed people trying to wean themselves off antidepressants early, so as to not be left in the lurch by this kind of shit. At least that's what it makes me want to do.

Spoken like someone who's truly down with the kids (ages 15 and 18).

That's great and all but I don't think a few Jim Carrey films are really going to cut it when it comes to symptoms like being afraid of the dark and assuming every phonecall heralds the death of a loved one??
(Love u Jim xxx)

Seems reasonable but seems like such a waste of a year. 2020-2023 were great years for me (which I feel hesitant to say). Loads of time for new hobbies, fewer social obligations, plenty of work... Great times, hazy days.
