Mountains covered in earl snow wreathed with clouds. Lower hills are dark with light sprinklings of aspens. The waxing hunters moon roses above two lines of cloud

Three mountain peaks covered in snow bathed in the pink light of sunset

A golden graphic titled “Sabr for Spark Space.” The background has a watercolor effect. The text says: “Spark Space is bringing free internet and electricity to dozens of high school students for their tawjihi exams this week—among bombing, mass displacement, and ground invasion in Gaza City, this is an act of resistance to ethnic cleansing. We're meeting their sabr (patience) with our boldness: help keep the lights on. linktr.ee/sparkworkspace.” Next to the text is an illustration of a cactus pear in yellow and green.

Please share: 24-HOUR BIRTHDAY DRIVE 💡My ONE wish today is to help high school students in Gaza City take their exams 💛

We’re matching 100 to help Spark Space host these kids with internet & electricity—under bombs and ground invasion. Match their bravery.

Why you should endlessly make fun of Berlatsky who’s entire philosophy is based on whether you’re nice to him or not

Dame Patricia Routledge obituary Formidable and versatile actor best known for her comic turn as the snobbish Hyacinth Bucket in the BBC sitcom Keeping Up Appearances There were times when you felt that Patricia Routledge, the popular and formidable actor, who has died aged 96, embodied the true voice of middle England with its smug self-confidence, disapproval of moral weakness in others and unshakeable sense of snobbish superiority. Such character traits were, of course, translated into glorious comic flaws in her best-known role, Hyacinth Bucket (“pronounced Bouquet”), in the BBC television series Keeping Up Appearances (1990-95), written by Roy Clarke, in which Hyacinth’s social-climbing aspirations were punctured by her own absurd over-reaching and the impingement of grim reality, in the shape of an embarrassing sister and her slob of a husband living on a council estate situated too close for comfort. Hyacinth was a variation on the traditional stage battleaxe, with oddly sympathetic undertones, as when Routledge, riffling the net curtains, would cut across the horror of a new man staying next door with an aghast cry of, “We’ll have to move!” Clive Swift as her supine husband would grin and bear it and even suggest a delighted astonishment at her outbursts.

R.I.P. Patricia Routledge.

I had the strangest feeling it would happen this week. I thought about her for some reason and feared she’d leave us soon. Farewell, magnificent Patricia Rutledge

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gaza’s most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

Pookie blocked me. Oh well

And the thing is, people want it. It’s fucked

Orwell took a bullet in the throat fighting the movement that birthed the sort of insidious "1984" shit these tech fascists are relentlessly pushing into every inch of our lives for vast profits.

No, I’m not going to work on a whole new platform because I object to racists and transphobia. I’m busy doing medical research thanks

Nazis and transphobes just shouldn’t be allowed on platforms like blue sky 🤷🏾‍♀️ it shouldn’t be an issue. We don’t have to keep leaving platforms because of them. This is just silly

This is the most pathetic response to a real problem of moderation I’ve come across so far

So civility in addressing the admins/overlords but if you can’t tolerate racism and transphobia like a normal person, build your own platform? Okayyyy

Word.
