If you’re still staying silent or saying Israel is ‘defending itself’ you’re on the wrong side of history.

Fair warning: you're going to read and hear some overtly disgusting stuff from basically all mainstream news publications justifying and normalising Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza. Feeling pre-emptively sick about it.

They've given up pretending.

I cannot tell you how much I love and respect this headline

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Ha! I love your confidence. I’m not there either. These lists are very inside baseball ⚾️

I feel this. I keep applying and applying and yet to get a cent. Different projects, all the letters of rec, but wrong vibe, tone, topic. It’s exhausting. And for so little money.

Free Palestine rally in Melbourne

A placard that reads "If we were in Gaza as nurses we would be shot".

Israel is committing genocide in Palestine. Children, women, men, journalists, doctors; 100s of thousands slaughtered. Nearly all Western journalists are lying to you about this. Australia is allied with both the genocidal state and its American funders. Free Palestine. Melbourne. 29 Dec, 2024.

'The Shot writers reflect: 2024 can go and get fucked'

Ask it how to cure cancer

The sad and inevitable truth is in another 10 years, when it is all said and done and it is irrefutable Israel committed a genocide in Palestine, there will be many a handwringing think piece from those who defend Israel's actions now, claiming 'we didn't know'. They know. Remember that they knew.

Also by 16 we had fake id so we could go see bands in pubs. These kids are digital natives. Even the youngest will find a way around this. And all sorts of dodgy internet sources will pop up to help them.

But he also funded a genocide so…

when ur fighting for ur life but no one understands the struggle

This book, this film, these characters, this story slayed me. If you haven’t read it, do so. It’s complicated and confronting and beautiful. And (no spoiler) horribly topical…

Thank you!

Hi:) This is a great list. May I join?

JFC☹️

Sounds & looks like a great trip:)

Fellow ex-bris person here. Where’s the red photo taken? That’s very beautiful. (Also, what amazing bands - def worth travelling for 😍)

i either read for 8 hours straight or don’t touch a book for 8 months there is no in between

the tech industry at large is responsible for many crimes and I hate many of them with a passion but there’s something particularly vile about strip mining the collective creative expression of humanity for profit

absolutely wild and heartbreaking that a city with the literary history of San Francisco is to be run as a side project for the man responsible for degrading the meaning of human language and likely immiserating a generation of writers and artists
