Meditations in an Emergency By Cameron Awkward-Rich I wake up & it breaks my heart. I draw the blinds & the thrill of rain breaks my heart. I go outside. I ride the train, walk among the buildings, men in Monday suits. The flight of doves, the city of tents beneath the underpass, the huddled mass, old women hawking roses, & children all of them, break my heart. There’s a dream I have in which I love the world. I run from end to end like fingers through her hair. There are no borders, only wind. Like you, I was born. Like you, I was raised in the institution of dreaming. Hand on my heart. Hand on my stupid heart.

poem called "feelings come & go but teeth are forever": bring me lord a herd of teeth big as buffalo to wrap around this apple. i ask so little, really—eight hours for sleep, eight hours outside, eight hours for what i will. what i will is water, mostly hot, to sit in til i’m decent. what i won’t is die working. i won’t shut up about solace, starlings, what i read on wikipedia. i won’t give my body to science, just birds, if i’m lucky. if anyone’s listening. i won’t listen to barbarous bullshit churned out by chickenshit senators paid by a body count so high it chased god from the room, i’d rather kiss a caterpillar, kick a cop, marry moonshine. i won’t make promises i can’t keep, i can’t promise i’ll be more patient. wouldn’t you know i won’t stay up past midnight if i can help it, you wouldn’t believe what i can help. i can’t help that i won’t wait for what i have to beg for. i won’t tell my body give me up, give me quiet but no more hells. there is no better devil. i choose nothing but us & by us i mean all of it, everything i won’t call anything but holy, bring me what i want.

cha cha real smooth 💃

no prob! it was impossible to spot before but that clearer upload definitely helped. and you're right about that little arm touch (and Lestat's affronted double take 🤣); there's definitely something else going on there beyond legal rep. I BET! 🤣

thank you for uploading a clearer view! hoping they drop it officially so we can see everything in HD. and maybe the song too!

Hope you don't mind me chiming in ('cause I do not have enough people to yell about this show with 😂) but have y'all seen this clearer shot of the trailer?? bsky.app/profile/heyl... I need the official upload so bad but looking at that split second of Moses, it looks like he's got a vamp manicure 👀

A white handkerchief with lace trim features embroidered flowers and a quote: “We have to create. It’s the only thing louder than destruction. – Andrea Gibson.” The handkerchief sits on a surface with a green and orange floral design. @tinypricksproject

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

You don’t have to like, approve of, or engage with porn and nsfw work to see how right wing extremists are using fear and stigma around smut to ban queer people from public life, define “good” sex as only between married people for procreation, and otherwise further force white supremacy on everyone

Sans intervention immédiate, les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir 21 juillet 2025 L'AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses journalistes staff courant 2024. Avec quelques autres, ils sont aujourd'hui les seuls à rapporter ce qu'il se passe dans la Bande de Gaza. La presse internationale est interdite d'entrer dans ce territoire depuis près de deux ans. Nous refusons de les voir mourir. L'un deux, Bashar, collabore pour l'AFP depuis 2010, d'abord comme fixeur, ensuite comme photographe pigiste, et depuis 2024 comme principal photographe. Samedi 19 juillet, il est parvenu à poster un message sur Facebook: « Je n'ai plus la force de travailler pour les médias. Mon corps est maigre et je ne peux plus travailler ». Bashar, 30 ans, travaille et vit dans des conditions égales à celles de tous les Gazaouis, allant d'un camp de réfugiés à un autre camp au gré des bombardements israéliens. Depuis plus d'un an il vit dans le dénuement le plus total et travaille en prenant d'énormes risques pour sa vie. L'hygiène est pour lui un problème majeur, avec des périodes de maladies intestinales sévères. Bashar vit depuis février dans les ruines de sa maison de Gaza City avec sa mère, ses quatre frères et sœurs et la famille d'un de ses frères. Leur maison est vide de tout aménagement et confort, à part quelques coussins. Dimanche matin, il a rapporté que son frère aîné était « tombé, à cause de la faim ». Même si ces journalistes reçoivent un salaire mensuel de l'AFP, il n'y a rien à acheter ou alors à des prix totalement exorbitants. Le système bancaire a disparu, et ceux qui pratiquent le change entre les comptes bancaires en ligne et l'argent liquide prennent une commission de près de 40%. L'AFP n'a plus la possibilité d'avoir un véhicule et encore moins de l'essence pour permettre à ses journalistes de se déplacer pour leurs reportages. Circuler en voiture équivaut de toutes les façons à pre…

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.

They are out of energy and they are starving to death.

I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it.

Greetings! I’m here w/ @melbuer.bsky.social in Ventura County, CA. At Glass House Farms, there’s a group of people still looking for loved ones. A large immigrant detention happened here yesterday. We spoke with one woman who says she’s been waiting to hear from her uncle for more than 24 hours.

Good coverage w/livestream footage of Camarillo yesterday, where militarized federal forces terrorized farmworkers who, along with community members who faced off and tried to protect each other. For those not local, this is abt an hour fr. LA & where large amounts of produce are grown.

A person stands supporting the bottom of a huge flag being hoisted. The flag is a rainbow with eight stripes of pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigo and violet.

On this day in 1978, the rainbow flag first flew as a symbol of pride. It was raised at San Francisco Gay Freedom Day.

Gaza Strip was approximately 2.227 million. The Garb report includes maps displaying IDF estimates for the populations remaining in what are considered the three primary enclaves. The numbers are as follows: Gaza City: 1 million Mawasi: 0.5 million Central: 0.35 million The total of these official estimates is 1.85 million people. Simple arithmetic reveals a horrifying gap: 2.227 million minus 1.85 million leaves 377,000 people unaccounted for.

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza.

That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed.

Genocide.

Open eugenics with just the barest, most pathetic tissue of lies across the top for pretence of civility.

Everyone fighting like hell for trans rights - we need to be fighting this too. They're all connected - and we're all we've got.

Abolish ICE and prosecute every last employee, regardless of position

'No cuts to Medicaid!' Disabled protesters shut down GOP House hearing Protesters opposing Republican cuts to Medicaid spending briefly shut down a House hearing on Tuesday.House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Brett Guthrie (R-KY) kicked off the hearing by praising ...

Disabled protesters shut down a republican congressional hearing today because said repubs are trying to LITERALLY decimate Medicaid.

They want to cut ~$88 *billion* from medicaid every year for 10 yrs for a total which, again— & this is important—*Essentially Equals The Entire Budget of Medicaid*.

Thank you! I have a simple travel set of watercolors that has a solid general color wheel but I'm wanting to get more specific with some of the shades I use. Those two look so nice paired side by side

Lovely palette! Do you mind sharing what specific colors that pink in the upper left corner and the grey-green just below it are?

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

On top of this - if you are a teacher or a parent you need to *urgently* contact your schools and let them know you will not put up with the forced detransitioning or exclusion of trans students from school.

That is a major threat the EHRC has directed at young trans people.

I feel like queers and trans folk are circulating the same tenner between ourselves and donating to each other's crowdfunders so cis het allies please donate if you can.

‘Sinners’, Coogler and Questions of Ownership There was a time when Black creatives could simply be grateful for the opportunity to make something, but that wasn’t true freedom. True freedom is to make it, own it, and build a legacy from it, writ...

My piece on Sinners, its questions and considerations of ownership and freedom, and how Ryan Coogler utilized those themes to create a legacy for himself and Black creatives. #Sinners

i need it.

2nd Sinners viewing! went up to BFI Southbank to see the 70mm IMAX projection. the twins being red & blue was obvious on first watch but the fact that EVERYTHING is favoring a red, blue, & yellow palette was so much clearer. the sound mix was superb. tears & goosebumps. stay for the full credits
