It is Thursday, and my Thirst has reached excessive levels

I've been eating gluten-free for long enough that things with gluten in them taste wrong to me now, like why is this tortilla so chewy?

This is Zeina, a 19-year-old university student from Jerusalem.

Israel kidnapped her, caged her, and held her hostage—without charges, without reason.

She was freed today, but her story won’t make headlines.

Because the world has decided Palestinian suffering isn’t newsworthy.

Know the work rules meme. Chad wearing a keffiyeh saying I got a keffiyeh and the lady is labeled ADL and saying hello Human Resources. Next panel is fat nerd saying sieg heil and the ASL saying awww you’re sweet

Yeah

Chin up, Comrade!

Today might be the day that makes me cry 🌈

The goal of “sex work is work”, for me at least, is not to say “sex work is as ‘good’ as all other work”, but to say “all other work is as exploitative as sex work”

In the image, we see a person holding a sign in front of a city street backdrop holding a black sign with pink writing that reads "EVERY FASCIST'S DOORSTEP IS A GENDER NEUTRAL TOILET." The person on the right is wearing sunglasses and smiling while holding a red sign.

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙
Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

Your local government isn't ready to evacuate disabled people California's fire-prone counties left people to die. Other communities don't have to.

I wrote about how neighbors can play a role in helping disabled and aging people plan for and evacuate when wildfires hit at @motherjones.com.

Following the attempted murder of a trans woman. Cops just let the alleged perp go. So actionists from the Mexican sex workers union stormed the judicial building.

A wider field view of Westerlund 1. A dense cluster of bright stars, each with six large and two small diffraction spikes, due to the telescope’s optics. They have a variety of sizes depending on their brightness and distance from us in the cluster, and different colours reflecting different types of star. Patches of billowing red gas can be seen in and around the cluster, lit up by the stars. Small stars in the cluster blend into a background of distant stars and galaxies on black.

"Disabled people are more than twice as likely to live in poverty than nondisabled people, and the disparities widen further for disabled people of color. The subminimum wage has contributed to that problem by keeping many workers in poverty."

Free Sudan.
Free Palestine.
Free Congo.
Free Hawaii.
Free Puerto Rico.
Free Haiti.

Free also those of us still trapped inside Empire.

Free all places and people from the colonial clutches of the very Empire that is on currently on fire.
We the People will free each other.

Just so you’re aware, every library in LA is offering free masks right now due to the fires. Another reason to love libraries! Let’s hope they continue after the fires are over. Masks save lives in many ways.

"To me, no legal concept or criminal offence can fully fathom the horrors of Gaza. It is more than genocide—it’s gleeful killing without restraint."

Fanta was created so coke could sell soda in nazi Germany around a trade embargo. IBM sold the machines that were used to track and tabulate holocaust victims. Henry Ford inspired Hitler. Big business has always collaborated with fascism. Today's businesses are bastards who are no different.

Zionism was so openly racist from the start. I found this gem from 1918 in Tom Segev’s “One Palestine Complete”
