Celebrating someone's death is bad. Unless it's Jean-Marie Le Pen's death! 🍾🍾🍾

Biden is giving Israel another $8b in arms to murder Gazans. The USA isn't just complicit, it's actively funding this genocide. I hope one day, Biden, Blinken and Netanyahu face court for their war crimes & crimes against humanity. 😠 #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide #USPolitics

So apparently the act of sending loved ones little videos and cute pictures and funny things throughout the day is called "Pebbling" because there's a species of penguin that likes to leave pebbles in their partners' nests to show they care, and this is my happy thing for today

Elon Musk thinks he's Iron Man Tony Stark, but he's much more Justin Hammer, the villainous entrepreneur head of Hammer Industries. #USPolitics

20 December - International Human Solidarity Day.

'Human Solidarity', for some, is paying taxes for the collective good. For others, it is voting for a collective, especially for the interest of the most vulnerable humans within.

What is it for you?

Women's sexual freedom got to be the highlight of the first quarter of this century! At least, from my observations.

The ultimate hypocrisy of religious people is their inability to show respect and compassion to people in their lives. Inability to decenter themselves and their remarkable ability to gaslight and avoid accountability.
No wonder violences against humanity are mostly perpetuated by religious folks.

The disabled body serves as the blueprint for institutionalised violence and its justifications, yet it remains one of the most overlooked in conversations about feminism, sex, and violence.

I imagine one of the reasons
people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain - James Baldwin

I saw Wicked 3 days ago and I was moved in more than one ways.

It is political. It is cultural. It is emotional. It is intellectual. And it was globally-relatable.

4th day of the renewed encampment of the University of #Cambridge Students' Intifada, on the Senate House lawn.

They are demanding that the University disclose, divest, and cease its complicity in genocide. They will not stop. They will not rest... #freepalestine
