Jen Cannot Explain Anything

😭😭💀

The crew onboard the Handala freedom flotilla were chanting and singing together just minutes before their abduction by the Israeli forces. They are the best of humanity. We are all Handala.

I want to keep watching from but my brain is too tired to wear glasses and I can't see the TV clearly enough without them. but also maybe my brainnis too tired to watch anyway.

UPDATE: Israeli soldiers have BOARDED the Handala aid flotilla.

Cameras being shut down.

Volunteers’ hands are up.

The ship seeking to give aid to Palestinians is carrying volunteers from the US, France, Italy, UK, Spain, Australia, and more.

I hate this so much

Help me save my family and escape from Gaza to Eygpt My name is Alaa, and I am a mother of three precious children: Musa, who is 12 years old, and my twin daughters, Ella and Ellen, who are 8 years old. Before October 7th, our lives were filled with hop...

I am a strong woman who cannot be repeated or recreated.

I built myself and my future from scratch to become who I am.

I am a kind mother to three beautiful children, and I cannot be reproduced for them again if they lose me.

watching a judge show at the hospital and the theme seems to be "messy gays" we love inclusive programming.

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

universe while you're cleaning up trash I have a suggestion

22 hours. there's a bed but apparently she's never getting in it.

20 hours. if we hit 24 I'm taking her home.

19 hours

this skeet is just to remind me to check this cop shit that's happening later.

good news is she did so well overnight she doesn’t need to go to the ICU. bad news we still haven't gone anywhere yet I think we live in this ER now.

my yahoo email account will be 27 next week. that's so stupid. wait this week. whatever week it is in 4 days. that week. i should just quit the internet forever when it turns 30.

also I think I'm going to go find some coffee which feels like an admission I'm not going to bed until tonight but I can't stop talking in response to simple questions so I need to trick my brain.

she's doing fine but it's so funny there are all these 12 year old doctors and all the nurses are just laughing and rolling eyes at half the stuff they say.

I was going to give some acknowledgement of things being worse for others but fuck that I'm legitimately exhausted which has nothing to do with comparing to anyone else.

life update. I have officially been awake for 24 hours and in this er for 11 hours. I think I might have growled at someone.

oh just kidding no beds spending the night in emergency.

Yes, I am lactose intolerant. No, I do not care.

I thought I was handling things quite well until I spoke to someone who knows me.

I'm sitting in the er waiting for them to admit my mom into the ICU just answering work messages like yes my brain is broken thank you for asking.

the literal danger zone. so worth it.

this is ridiculous.

how would you choose the winner? what would the judging criteria be?

Something Is Still Rotten in the City of Philadelphia Philly workers went out on strike—and came back with a deal that nobody seems to like.

After an eight-day strike, DC33 reached a tentative agreement with the city of Philadelphia last week. Tonight, we’ll find out the results of the membership vote.

I wrote about the human costs of the strike and the cruelty of the city’s response for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

We have a literal eugenicist running DHS, and we're liking hot takes mocking people for wanting not to die, imperfectly coping with public health choices that imperil them?

What are we DOING here?

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die July 21, 2025 AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip since its staff journalists left in 2024. Along with a few others, they are now the only ones left to report what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international press has been banned from entering the territory for nearly two years. We refuse to watch them die. One of them, Bashar, has been working with AFP since 2010, first as a fixer, then freelance photographer, and since 2024, as lead photographer. On July 19th he managed to post a message on Facebook: “I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.” Bashar, 30, works & lives in the same conditions as all Gazans, moving from one refugee camp to another under Israeli bombings. For > a year he’s lived in utter destitution, working at extreme risk to his life. Hygiene is a major issue for him, with recurring bouts of severe intestinal illness. Since Feb, Bashar’s been living in the ruins of his home in Gaza City with his mother, 4 brothers & sisters and the family of one of his brothers. Their house is devoid of any furnishings, except a few cushions. On Sunday morning, he reported that one of his brothers had “fallen, due to hunger.” Even though these journalists receive a monthly salary from AFP, it’s no longer enough to buy food, or they have to pay completely exorbitant prices. The banking system has collapsed, and those who exchange money via online bank accounts charge a commission of up to 40%. AFP no longer has the ability to provide them with a vehicle and there is not enough fuel to allow these journalists to travel for their reporting. Driving a car means becoming a target for Israeli airstrikes. AFP reporters therefore travel on foot or by donkey cart. (alt txt continued in next post)
