Imagine having a thumping majority in parliament and deciding to use it for something as squalid as this.

Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin.
We need more stories about us and our culture.
You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.
“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

🗞️ NEWS | Israel is pushing for a new 20-year U.S. military aid agreement, doubling the length of past security MOUs and adding “America First” elements to win Trump administration backing, Axios reports citing Israeli and U.S. officials.
The current 10-year, $38 billion deal expires in 2028. Israeli officials want the next package negotiated within a year, despite political headwinds: MAGA hostility to foreign aid, and growing bipartisan frustration over Israel’s conduct in Gaza.
The talks, delayed by the Gaza genocide, have reportedly resumed in recent weeks. Israel has floated two major changes: extending the MOU to 20 years, carrying it through Israel’s 2048 centennial; and allowing part of the funding to go to joint U.S.–Israel R&D in defense tech, AI, and missile defense—rather than purely direct aid. Officials say this structure is meant to appeal to Trump’s “America First” instincts by producing benefits for the U.S. military. Israeli officials hope to secure at least the current $4B per year, but expect tougher negotiations after Trump’s sweeping cuts to foreign aid.
