Over a light pink background, a sketch of Swamp Thing, a big green and black guy made of plants with glowing red eyes and a few flowers growing out of him

Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...
I literally believe that the US should be partitioned like Germany at the end of WW2 after this. Balkanize the whole thing. Don't let any successor state have a military.
Not beating those "Great Satan" allegations
When Bluesky goes down & you want to find me, remember that where there’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Where there’s a cop beating up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad & I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry & they know supper’s ready
I had a massive brain fart thinking March was May
I just think about this a lot because part of my job is getting people where I work to consider accessibility in their work, and I'm not about tapping into selfishness ("accessibility can benefit you even if you don't consider yourself disabled")
I saw someone joke "I wish I could mute words in images" and you can with image desscription/alt text! It's not just for the benefit of screen readers
Got his ass, genuinely

My coworker is a decade younger than I am and just moved here last summer and he looks at me in a way that makes me feel crazy when I tell him that this used to never happen
CHIMING IN FROM OUT OF FRAME: also hundreds of children were killed

People's New Republic is, I think, genuinely niche but if your specific interests align, you'll probablyhave a good time
Until I looked it up a few years ago, I thought being hoisted with your own petard meant impaling yourself on like a halberd or something, but the actual meaning is so much funnier
Turns my stomach to see cities with millennia of history flattened by United States and Israel, two of the fakest countries in the world.
Liz Warren was clapping for this days ago. Harris and Walz villified Iran on the campaign trail; Chuck Schumer’s TACO bit is in part about Trump being “soft” on Iran. Make no mistake, Democrats love dead Iranians just as much as they love dead Palestinians
