1 Inquiry for New York Times Good afternoon, My name is [REDACTED] and l am a reporter for the New York Times. I am researching how much money the Palestinian diaspora community has sent to support Gazan families since the war in Gaza began. Does your team track this figure? I really appreciate it. With gratitude, [REDACTED]

Palestine Diaspora Movement Hello [REDACTED] We do not collaborate with The New York Times. Your email asks about money sent to Gazan families "since the war in Gaza began." Let us first correct the premise. This is not a war. It is a genocide. Calling it a war is part of the problem. It obscures the reality of a colonized people being massacred by a military machine backed by the United States and defended, sanitized, and rhetorically softened by institutions like yours. The New York Times has spent far too long parroting Zionist propaganda and laundering Israeli state narratives while Palestinians bury their dead. That kind of coverage does not merely misinform. It helps create the political climate in which Palestinian slaughter becomes explainable, defensible, and forgettable. So no, we will not be sharing any figures, internal data, or community information with a paper that has so thoroughly damaged its credibility on Palestine. Quite frankly, we would rather chew jeans than help The New York Times extract from our community while continuing to fail it. Do not contact us again for this purpose, The Palestine Diaspora Movement Team

lmaooo GET EM

Also, I care about men enjoying aspects of their culture, being open to new ideas, and being able to analyze/understand the work they do enjoy. Be it a video game or a song or a TV show. It doesn't have to be a book. I would rather a man be able to think critically about GTA than read Mein Kampf.

A lot of things you create will fucking suck.

What's really hard is putting skull sweat AND time AND money into something

and having to shitcan it because it's problematic, or it sucks, or it's just come out malformed and before it's time

You have to drown your babies in the bucket sometimes

message to all women worldwide: eat heartily, laugh with ur belly, sleep soundly, freely build many gadgets and gizmos, play & draw always

anyway there's no reason to be on substack

you can leave the nazi bar any time

you aren't making the nazi bar less nazi by hanging out with the nazis

the nazis just think it's cute you're buying their drinks

and you're doing a grave disservice to the readers who don't yet know the difference

I think of this every day

if you politically understand men as innately evil, that's gender essentialism and an intrinsically reactionary view that posits the oppression of women as inevitable while fundamentally misunderstanding quite literally all of oppression as a whole

This is in fact what I have said. Glad that it landed and you found it useful.

"The Mothers," a powerful woodcut by Käthe Kollwitz, captures the deep sense of fear and unity among a group of women embracing protectively. Kollwitz, known for her empathetic portrayal of social injustice and the effects of war, evokes a poignant expression of maternal strength and collective grief.

I hold firm to the idea that new people are learning old information for the first time all the time, and it’s normal not to know things. If you’re a journalist (lmao with a Substack, no less) pretending the NYT is fair and balanced about trans people, you’re being malicious. Nobody is that stupid.

stupid fucking milkshake won’t be nice to the meatball

So true, just the barest hint of simmering lust under those folksy vocals and quaint melody

Tonight's viewing - "Alucarda"

The idea that imperial aggression is a "distraction" from Epstein is the worst kind of blind-men-and-the-elephant missing the point, sexual violence is inseparable from imperialism, it's all part of one big worldview that doesn't think certain other people are real

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

"Between 1856 and 1859 a young girl named Emily Mary Madden filled a small sketchbook with drawings of her family's cat, Mouton. Emily was born in 1848 which means she was about 8-11 when she made these illustrations"

I love you, Emily. You're a wonderful artist. We draw our cats in the future too.

It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Iowa city removes Flock license plate readers, terminates contract with surveillance company The council originally approved the Flock cameras in September with a stipulation that they would not be used to help find undocumented immigrants.

I love this song.

Interviewer: You might be able to catch some. It's all completely virtual. It's very simple, but it's also an overlay of physically based information that now exists on top of the real world. Herzog: When two persons in search of a pokémon clash at the corner of Sunset and San Vicente is there violence? Is there murder? Interviewer: They do fight, virtually. Herzog: Physically, do they fight? Interviewer: No- Herzog: Do they bite each other's hands? Do they punch each other?

Happy 30th birthday to Pokémon. Without it, the greatest Werner Herzog quote of all time would not exist.
