Son has been fundraising for Gaza but no one has openly called out the silence of the institutions like this though.

Mo Salah is asking the right questions

What Moore says next in the interview is more important, to me. Nobody is coming to save us, we have to do it ourselves, in community with each other.

Has anyone ever said "My rights are a distraction?" It's always someone else's rights, right?

art depicting the characters from Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" Basil lifts the curtains of a portrait of a woman he painted long ago in her youth, as his friend Dorian holds him by his face tenderly. perhaps, Basil is unable to see which is the true Dorian, and which is twisted and gnarled.

Now this, this is looting. Ain’t nobody gonna be arrested for it either.

Three tweets from Clean Air Club an hour ago Is now a good time to mention that last month over 25 Los Angeles schools rejected our offers of completely free air purifiers for every single classroom on their campuses? There's a widespread hostility to anyone offering solutions at the intersection of climate change, pandemics, and resource depletion. It was wild to get replies along the lines of "don't contact us ever again" when we were literally offering tens of thousands in free gear When you try to solve a problem that most people are in denial about, you're going to encounter hostility and gaslighting instead of enthusiasm and solidarity

Goddamn.

Never walk into a cage willingly. If you're already in one: break out.

The left has made space for anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists for too long. Anti-vax is fundamentally a stance against solidarity and collectivism.

A publicly-funded study of the venomous saliva of the Gila monster is exactly the kind of silly sounding basic science John McCain and Tom Coburn used to rail about in the Senate, but it changed the course of medicine pretty substantially in the last 20y. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Ink drawing of an abandoned, overgrown ruin.

often wonder what my obsession with partially obstructed abandoned steps to shadowy doorways might mean. Anyway another haunted ruin
