Above the fall

Cats and I are still not fans of Military flyovers. We don’t care if it’s your birthday. Stop wasting money on your stupid planes shows. People can’t afford food, healthcare, housing, etc. Fuck off.

Love getting texts from family that just say “X is still alive.” With no other information, didn’t know they were in a position I should be worried about that and all follow up texts and calls have gone unanswered. So, thanks?

A snake just fell from the first floor rafters (we have no ceilings) so this is fun.

Islam bader @islambader 1988 Follow • Translated by Grok Show original Update on the developments of the situation in Gaza City - Monday, 10:00 PM On the ground: Three main attack routes on Gaza are currently evident: The Sheikh Radwan route towards Al-Jisr, Al-Ayoun, and the market. The Sudaniya route towards Al-Karama, Intelligence, reaching Al-Maqousi and the beach. The Tel al-Hawa route towards Al-Khor Roundabout and Al-Dahdouh. In these axes, explosive robots are being detonated, alongside intense airstrikes. Air and artillery bombardment continues, with heavy Apache helicopter activity continuously

firing on various areas of Gaza City. Displacement: Residents of northwest Gaza (Al-Karama, Intelligence, Public Security) have been forced to evacuate towards the areas around Bahloul and Al-Maqousi to the east, and as far as the northern beach to the south, where families are still gathered until now. The city is overcrowded with hundreds of thousands of residents in the remaining neighborhoods; from Salah al-Din Street to the east at the entrances of Al-Shujaiya, Al-Zaytoun, Al-Sabra, Al-Daraj, and parts of western Al-Tuffah, with even greater density in the neighborhoods of Al-Shati, Al-Nasr, Al-Rimal, Tel al-Hawa, and Sheikh Ajlin.

⚠️ Gaza City is reportedly under relentless attack tonight.

It’s challenging to find news from people on the ground because Israel has assassinated most of the journalists.

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Newsom today announced he’s putting together a team of state agencies, including CHP, to destroy homeless encampments across the state. He says there’ll be efforts to shelter people, but the focus of the task force is dismantling homeless encampments.

With the cuts to SEPTA making buses and trolleys (all I’ve ridden yet) are so packed brining my walker takes up a ton of room and pisses people off. Which means I just don’t bring my walker and cause more issues to my body. Great times!

We spent $150K in the last month and only raised $58K. Thankfully the earlier Itch Bundle fundraiser meant that we haven’t yet ran out.

All support is deeply appreciated to keep Gazans connected through forced starvation & colonial violence:

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights

At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for

This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

me&everyone in Gaza have our hearts clenched just thinking about the specter of evacuation &thinking about where we will go.

Two babies’ skulls found at Mütter Museum linked to Gallitzin, Pa., murder mystery from 1980 The world believed the five infants found in Stella Williamson's attic had been put to rest. Decades later, the truth is still unfolding.

Two babies' skulls from a notorious 1980 homicide case were found at Philadelphia's Mutter Museum -- apparently donated by a former medical examiner in the late 90s.

Late to this, but still have lots of thoughts so let’s go: one like = one point on the political economy of disability and chronic illness. Consider this my belated ADA anniversary offering :)

Anyone know why there is an Army helicopter circling Southwest Philadelphia and parts of Western Delaware County today?

"Hopelessness at this time is a crime," says Badar Khan Suri. "Islam says that if something wrong is happening, stop it by your hand. Make noise, write, do something. And if you can’t do that, at least be on the right side in your heart. Say that something wrong is happening."

“how many calories are there in a statement of concern?”

how much freedom from daily, generational colonial violence?

Must read. The attack on disabled children is a feature, not a bug. It is gross, diminishes our humanity as a society and impoverishes our economy.
