FLAV I WAS TRYING TO STAY CALM!!! WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNN!!??!?

NOW they bombing Palestinian homes in Gaza with incendiary missiles, killing more than 70 people!

So a lot of people worked on this that weren’t me including @mamafriend.bsky.social @ruemcclammyhand.bsky.social @alexwinter.com @link.spacelawshitpost.me @hebagowayed.bsky.social and a lot of other people- not to mention the hundreds of people in Gaza who entrusted me with their stories ❤️

Ok what if she completely ghosts. But tomorrow there are pics of her on IG at an UNO party, posted by maybe Questlove, or similar. lol

oh! well welcome to the madness of it all! lol. there will definitely be clues that seem completely made it up. but there will likely be much more concrete and solid indicators, lol

Lacey!!?? Sounds like Olivia's song 👀
"Dear angel Lacy, eyes white as daisies" 👀
"Watchin', hidden in plain sight
Ooh, I try, I try, I try"👀
"Dazzling starlet, Bardot reincarnate
Well, aren't you the greatest thing to ever exist?"👀

Laila has lived in the North this whole time. She has six kids, three of whom are deaf. Her husband was killed getting them food over a year ago. She sold her phone recently- she reaches out so rarely and she needs help ❤️

like for the 1989 TV announcement she was punching us in the face with all the blue outfits etc, there was nothing subtle about it. there would be a much bigger build up. but maybe it will be the start of the actual rep-PR/marketing-hype-machine? idk

it really escalated so quickly!! i was enjoying for giggles but the past 2 days it seems everyone is seriously thinking it. there's no way she would announce with only the most obscure and subtle easter eggs like this

As always, if you want to make one donation that helps multiple people on the ground in Gaza, I recommend the Sameer Project, a mutual aid groups that's doing incredible work despite the horrific conditions:

Open Letter to the Bluesky Team About Their Treatment of Palestinians in Gaza The signatories of this letter are all members of the Bluesky community, many of us have actively participated on the platform since its inception. We came to Bluesky because it was a breath of fresh air, a place that felt different from many of the other social media platforms. The lack of a central algorithm, the ability to build and use custom feeds, and the lack of penalty for link promotion contributed to an environment that allowed diverse and interesting voices to find their footing and community on Bluesky. While some of the signatories of this letter have had no issues with speaking their mind publicly on Bluesky, unfortunately that is not true for all the signatories because many are Palestinians currently living in Gaza. These Palestinians are journalists, artists, engineers, teachers, grandmas, entrepreneurs, a man who owned an ice cream shop, a pediatrician who has been featured on CBS Morning News, aid workers, architects, waiters, pharmacists, students–and perhaps most essential to the backbone of Bluesky, posters. All of these people provide unique and interesting voices to the Bluesky community. However, unlike the other signatories of this letter, these Bluesky community members have struggled to keep their accounts on the platform. Most of them have lost multiple accounts and/or have had their accounts labeled as spam. Some cannot even make an account without it immediately being removed from the platform. Gazans undertake immense efforts to simply be on Bluesky. Sometimes, they walk for miles just to have access to the internet. They scale rooftops where they are exposed to potential military attacks just for the opportunity to get better cell signals–one signatory of this letter tragically lost her brother this way. They use what little money they have to pay …

Gazans have also been aggressively targeted and unfairly reported by bad actors. Many accounts openly encourage the reporting and targeting of any Palestinian. Several groups exist for the express purpose of looking for Palestinian accounts to report. We believe Bluesky owes Gazans, and the entire community who benefits from their voices, a greater duty of care especially in the context of the horrors they are enduring. We ask Bluesky to implement the following changes: Provide information on all Bluesky-affiliated websites in Arabic that explains the rules and expectations of the site in clear language. Investigate the accounts that are mass-reporting Palestinians on Bluesky. The mass reporting of Palestinians on Bluesky is a group effort to render the platform a hostile place for a community based on their ethnicity. As such, it is racism, and should be understood as such. Reports against Palestinians who have broken no community guidelines must be understood as racism, and the accounts that submit those reports should be disregarded in the future. Many Bluesky users encourage Gazans to tag or reply to them, and this is not always understood as unwelcome behavior. If an account is reported as Spam for tagging or replying to others, treat only reports from the tagged/mentioned account as legitimate, seeing as they were the only ones who received a notification. Send emails regarding disciplinary action every time it is taken. Gazans do not always get an email explaining what they did wrong, and those that do are required to parse a language they do not speak in order to understand their violation. Have these emails contain an easily visible link to information about their violations in Arabic. Respond to appeals in a timely fashion, many Gazans simply never hear back from Bluesky after they appeal a decision. In addition to removing Gazans for alleged spam behavior, Bluesky has also sometimes indicated that they are deleting an account for being a scam or …

End IP bans on any account from Gaza and allow them to make new accounts where they can comply with Bluesky rules and continue to be valued members of the community. We understand that even if all these changes are made, many Gazans may still violate Bluesky rules in the future, but we hope that Bluesky will abandon their punitive approach to these violations and instead embrace an attitude of education, cooperation and community care– one that works to ensure people in Gaza can participate in a way that keeps their voices heard. We also call on the Bluesky community to help and support these accounts however they can. We want to continue to build a healthy community with better community members and this cannot be done if Gazans continue to be shunned. We can use this as an opportunity to show how to protect all vulnerable groups in the future. We hope that Bluesky does not follow the path of other social media platforms and instead forges ahead with a different philosophy. After all, that is the reason so many of its users are there. Bluesky's ethos of "No Caesars” should apply to all members of its community. [To add your name to the list of signatories, click here.]

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first.

If you have ever thanked me for anything who you should be thanking is Ahmed who has talked to hundreds of Gazans for me to verify their story.

This is the first time in months and months that he has asked me for any help with anything despite me asking him for help every day.

Alt text: A powerful comparison image of a young Palestinian boy named Yazan. On the left, labeled "Before war," Yazan is smiling brightly in a colorful shirt, standing confidently in front of vibrant flowers. On the right, labeled "After war," he appears much thinner, wearing a green shirt, looking down while studying. A red arrow points to his arm, now severely emaciated—just skin and bone—symbolizing the toll of war and hunger. A skeletal hand icon emphasizes the extreme weight loss. The background subtly includes the Palestinian flag colors.

This is my son Yazan. Before the war, he was full of life. Now, hunger has turned his hand into skin and bone. Gaza is starving.
Please help us survive.

Undoubtedly one of the most eye-opening books you will come upon all year, one thoroughly exposing how police & the media manipulate the news & offering pragmatic ways to resist #Copaganda. Grab a copy & learn more about it on the most recent Across The Margin Pod! @equalityalec.bsky.social

- I want things to be different - *smashes everything* - oh no

I think about this comic at least once a week

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Just watched all of "North of North." I don't know what took me so long, it's so good! Can't wait for the next season! @cbcgem.bsky.social

Maybe this is my last post I’am able to write I don't know if I will follow the evacuation warnings or continue to meet my death. pray for a quick truce & donate to my family. Money is very important now. There are no one cares about us. We are on the verge of certain death if no one stops this.

Oh woah! It's definitely giving blue bear! the emphasis on the hand movement is very strong, eh

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Haya. Haya is only 17 years old and is trying to help her whole family. She has 3 brothers (she used to have 4 but him and a cousin were killed) and a sweet cat named Samih. Her and her family need help to survive.

if you want to do something right now that will help Palestinians in Gaza, you can give to the Sameer Project's Ramadan Campaign. They provide direct aid to people at great risk to themselves. And then find your people and do more.
