“what’s the world war 1 battle with all the rain?”

2012 me 🤝 2025 me
not enjoying the hunger games movies at all

lotta people on twitter talk about not using bsky because it’s some variation of “too nice and boring” but actually more pressingly idk how to tailor my timeline to be as anti-generative AI as possible

bluesky i promise to use you more if you save me from having to see anymore discourse around sabrina carpenter

tbh i think “at least do something cool in the death rattle” is a great encapsulation of what being alive in this post-breads & circuses world feels like

Israeli gunfire, strikes kill 120 Palestinians in Gaza, many at aid sites Palestinian death toll in Israel’s genocidal war surpasses 55,000 amid ongoing bombardment and killings at aid sites.

Israel has massacred another 120 in just the past 24 hours. Most while trying to access aid.

Utterly barbaric.

This is what genocide looks like.

Uh-huh. If they continue pursuing this shit I’m yoinking my donation.

Even after today’s increase, award wages are still lower in real terms than they were when Scott Morrison was Prime Minister.
This means ordinary people remain worse off whilst the rich continue to make record-breaking profits from the labour of the working class.

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me

fucking hell is twitter down AGAIN

Please look at this video of how much $40 gets you in Gaza

Very odd to me the ABC has an entire podcast devoted to foreign affairs, hosted by two of its most prominent staff, that has not done a single episode on Gaza this year. Only reference was on the most recent episode, in the context of Trump visiting Saudi Arabia. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

twitter DMs down so time to bluesky again

This is pretty much all we get from the media, a constant message of how extreme we are for wanting Australia to stop breaching international law and actually sanction Israel which is carrying out daily massacres and starving kids to death. None of our many other policies are mentioned.

I do not believe any conservative would say this as anything other than political calculation sensing changing winds, but that they're saying it at all is quite a shift. Free Palestine

"Hauntings are good because they evoke grief, and grief’s twin, love. Hauntings require memory and a sense of place. Hauntings require you stay human." The way Sarah describes and talks about grief (and love) in her work always speaks to me and the importance of grief right now.

Avoid using emoji as bullet points in social media posts. An emoji has a coded description that gets read by screen readers, and thus could confuse users who think that's part of the content. If you can't use standard lists, use dashes for bullet points or add line breaks.

I suggest folks start putting "anti-AI statements" in their publications and talks. For example, state that you didn't use AI for any aspect of your work and that you didn't cite any studies that used AI.

This shows worker solidarity and makes visible the collective action against AI.

I think about all the sweet pictures I have of my kid between 3 and 5- dressed up or in parks or museums and how many of these kids will only have photos their parents took to help raise funds in front of rubble for these ages in Gaza.

You can’t save the world but you can help these kiddos today ❤️

No one, but especially not children, should be subjected to this. Please donate if you can do so. If you can't donate, share this wherever possible.

got very excited when i saw this in my inbox this afternoon and strongly agree about all collins’ foreshadowing/prequel approach generally, but this was my favourite part

Haymitch Abernathy, as played by Woody Harrelson in the first Hunger Games movie. Written over the image is: "Marilla, Haymitch and Me: on my disinterest in following beloved middle-aged characters back to adolescence."

Wrote a little blog about my disinterest in following middle-aged characters like Marilla Cuthbert and Haymitch Abernathy back to adolescence (which may or may not have anything to do with turning 38 last week.)
