This shit can’t keep on going

Nearly 2 million people have been displaced in Gaza – almost the entire population – after the Israeli military last week ordered a further 80,000 people to evacuate parts of Gaza City amid a renewed ground operation, the latest UN figures show.

One reason I've been urging people to actually get involved now, well before the election, and build relationships is when/if shit really truly hits the fan, it's gonna be hard to get folks to let you jump into their work as a stranger, especially if you're white, for Very Good reasons.

Are there "no leftist orgs" in your town or are you just a liberal and a security risk?

Mathilde Panot, President of the La France Insoumise in Parliament which is part of the New Popular Front that just shocked the world, says that France will recognize a Palestinian state in the next two weeks.

This! For many of us who are reclaiming Yiddish in varius ways, it is vritually impossible to pick up a "pure" Yiddish, let alone the Yiddish that would have been spoken by our ancestry, if we let that be the reason we don't learn, or progress more slowly I think we are doing us a disservice.

I try to remind myself that my English vowels come piecemeal from a handful of different U.S dialects, and the degree to which that's such a normal thing can be really hard to see when you're in a language learning space, or using a minoritized heritage language, or in many of our cases both!

In what is certain to be a shock to everybody who has vociferously denied that the IOF used the Hannibal Directive on October 7, Haaretz reports that the IOF used the Hannibal Directive on October 7

Using the term “living conditions” to describe the dreadful circumstances Palestinians in Gaza face seems absurd.

I love potatoes. If you ignore other vegetables they become gross mush. If you ignore a potato it becomes a Creature. This is an approach I deeply respect

I’m not sure. He might get the worm treatment- but also a potato is less gross. Is he actively rotting?

He told me about a belief that if you arrive at the church too early, you will interrupt the Mass of the dead. The pews will be full of corpses and the priest’s face will be moldy. Then you must run away, but they will chase you and tear you to pieces. “You must drop your scarf behind you,” he says.

“Now that we know felons can be white, we’re massive fans of crime.”

I don’t even know where to begin with this.

How did I raise a graffiti snob? My son has all kinds of criticisms of the tags in London.

The fact that Russian athletes can only compete in the olympics as neutrals- and only if they don’t support the war- but Israeli athletes can regardless is deeply unserious.

Sadly I had not put the sefirot pin in a good spot and I lost it already…

Found tucked among all the Thor’s hammers, Celtic knots, tiny dragons etc.

The definition of betrayal is raising a child to be of age to go to 18 and over venues and suddenly they have no interest to go see a death metal show in London with you…

Reminder that no one’s genius and what it has meant to you is worth more than the harm they have caused another person.

I will continue to be the only American to write correction emails to the New York Times when they erroneously claim that there are only 500,000 Israeli settlers in occupied Palestinian territory. It is (at least) 700,000!
