Have to say, I do not love how much Trump has chosen to make Israel the public face of a war that was ultimately a United States decision to fight.

Joanne on @zackpolanski.bsky.social: "he's like the neurodivergent person at the meeting, going 'I'm going to say the thing that everyone else is avoiding saying, because I don't know why they're avoiding saying it, because it's actually the point that they're talking round and round.'"

SO TRUE.

Spotlight on Weird Pride Day with Fergus Murray, AuDHD Writer, Community Organiser and Science Educator Celebrating Weird Pride Day on March 4th

Spotlight on @weirdpride.day: I wrote a piece for @jadefarrington.bsky.social's excellent newsletter.

Thank you to Fergus for writing this piece about today's Weird Pride Day!

Discover the origins and what's happening to celebrate.

If the war ends up as a debacle for the US, it is clear that Israel is going to be blamed, and by extension also American Jews, and Jews in general, in a manner surpassing similar accusations regarding the Iraq war. The infrastructure for antisemitism is just far more developed and mainstreamed.

This is a great opportunity and fwiw I was at this department for several years and found it to be a welcoming and supportive environment.

Happy Weird Pride Day to my weird siblings everywhere!

Angela Barnes would be good.

For the record, no, "criticizing Israel" is not antisemitism. Attributing all agency behind decisions made by the more powerful nation to Israel is antisemitism. Truly this is the socialism of fools.

I can see where this is coming from, but there was in fact once an internet that wasn't just six monopoly companies herding you to shout at each other for clout. There was a time when google search took you to pages built by real people pursuing their real, personal interests. That happened.

'Writing Weirdness' premières tomorrow (Weird Pride Day) at 3pm GMT!

With @katefoxwriter75.bsky.social, @jlimburg.bsky.social, @scrappapertiger.bsky.social and @robinince.bsky.social.

March is Pregnancy After Loss Awareness Month.

A time to recognise specific challenges during subsequent pregnancies for those who've experienced #PregnancyLoss and #BabyLoss.

It's a less well known area of bereavement and trauma, where taboos remain and practitioners should be better informed.

If youd like to take a moment to read about the lives of those murdered, you can use the following database, which is not a full representation, but offers information on victims disability-memorial.org

It’s almost like the whole panic over migration that seems to grip some political parties is entirely manufactured…

Never forget that shutting down your local arms factory is infinitely more useful to the victims of war than voyeuristically consuming imagery of mutilation.

You are literally spoiled for choice with things to attack Netanyahu for - he should be in multiple jails! Choosing him to use him being jewish instead is always telling on yourself

Bibi Netanyahu is a corrupt, racist war criminal and also if you start spreading racist conspiracy theories in response to his actions then I’m afraid it still says more about you and nothing about him! You don’t get a pass on it!

@robinince.bsky.social and @katefoxwriter75.bsky.social will be joining us again, this time with fellow non-fiction poets @jlimburg.bsky.social and @scrappapertiger.bsky.social (all of whom are many other things besides poets).

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal
