Yale lab reports mass killings in Sudan, calls for student activism The Humanitarian Research Lab was told this week that over 10,000 people in Sudan were killed within three days.

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE

SECOND INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE OVER ZOOM TO MEET MORE OF THE TEAM

UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION, BUT WE HOPE YOU'LL APPLY FOR FUTURE POSITIONS WITH THE VAMPIRE

You should care about Jamaica and Sudan even if you don't know anyone there and the news isn't covering it. The anti-Blackness embedded in folks' lack of empathy is gross.

the dragon is killing trans people first and you are saying 'no, no, let's wait until the dragon is done with them before we start fighting'

i have actual beliefs and principles i stand by, actually, so i cannot make a commitment in advance to vote for a candidate who may be in favor of things i explicitly am opposed to, such as... oh.... restricting the rights of trans people. or anyone else's, for that matter.

being banned from parts of public society IS losing your freedom and livelihood. weirdo

Covering this as a national ban is absolutely correct, and is the only framing that it needs to be. Its horrifying. There's no reason to think they'd stop at kids too.

Furthermore public transit teaches you how to live with temporary minor annoyances and cars teach you that you're god's most special baby and your moment-to-moment comfort is the only important thing in the world

this is how i see people who stand between a car wielded by a fascist and a crowd of innocent people

interracial marriage had less than 50% public support for 30 years after loving v virginia was decided. should interracial marriage have been left illegal just because of popular opinion? public opinion can be quite wrong.

you guys ever tried smoking in the woods?? this shit- *gets a 'smokey the bear follows you' notification* ....is awful. it's real bad folks.

A series of wispy, blue strands emanate from the centre of the image, which is glowing orangey–red with a little pink. The background is FESTOONED with stars, all set against a black backdrop.

Another STUNNING image from JWST, this time of the Red Spider Nebula—the vast, wispy, gaseous remains of a now-dead star, the white dwarf core still glowing in the centre.

Cover of Fes is a Mirror by Chantal James

Something quiet happened yesterday. I released this slim book, the first book in the Black Arts Legacy Series from Willow Books. It’s called FES IS A MIRROR. It’s about a feral child who becomes a DJ as bread riots in Fes in 1990 rage. It’s available everywhere you ask. It’s very special to me.

do you guys ever consider what the fuck it sounds like when you say democrats are 'out of touch' for bothering to support LGBT people's access to the same equal rights you yourself enjoy? why is it 'out of touch' to have the audacity to claim equal rights should be for everyone

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

they're telling him the dementia tests he takes are IQ tests. he literally doesn't know.

god i love this fucking comic so much

yes. its called having principles and standing by them.

DUDES ROCK

fwding this to my wife, @therealduckwife.bsky.social, who may be interested

unlikely, to be honest. they'd need pretty good focus to do that and without significant adaptive optics, their mirror setup won't be able to focus through atmospheric fluctuations with enough precision

Need to turn that one into a sticker !

always fun to quote marx to dudes who have clearly never read marx. it's like quoting the bible at 'christians'. works every time

the federal government should ensure my personal rights and freedoms but i shouldn't have to pay taxes. i am very smart

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am
