(image: silhouette of a group holding signs, protesting) Community Building is Resistance I migrated to Bluesky from Meta. I was never much of a Twitter user. Unfortunately, most of my friends and colleagues did not migrate and the majority of those who attempted to do so gave up when they received little engagement, which is a bummer.\ As the number of my followers continues to grow (thank you!), I've decided that l'm not so self-important that I can't follow people back. We're all trying to find connection and build community here. Originally, I wanted to vet everyone I followed, but I simply don't have time for that. So, starting today, using an app, l've decided to follow everyone who is following me and unfollow those who aren't. We're living in dangerous times. We don't have the luxury of being divided and disconnected. More than ever, we need to be united, as much as we can be. Keep showing up. Keep speaking out. Keep organizing. Keep protesting. Keep resisting. Keep defying. Because it we cease to do so, the alternative is unthinkable.

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover.

No, he did not fail.

He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US.

That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

Jesus worked in Salinas CAs fields for 14 years. He's skillfully removing lettuce plants so the plants do not grow too close together and they grow large. It takes a lot of experience to know which plants to leave. Walking the fields all day long makes him very tired. #WeFeedYou

Cultural appropriation or cultural appreciation?

I remember tripping out when I first learned about this growing subculture in Japan (which has since spread to other countries) where people were adopting Chicano culture, specifically cholo/lowrider culture.

Wild.

This still trips me out today.

“‘Free Palestine,’ is most similar to ‘Free South Africa,’ both the movement and the chant that arose during the era of apartheid.”

Good analogy. Thank you, Jesse.

***

Note: Jesse Mechanic (yep, that’s his real last name) is an anti-Zionist Jewish writer and Journalist based in New York.
Jesse Mechanic: Netanyahu recently said, "Free Palestine is just today's version of Heil Hitler." It's a ludicrous statement. In reality, "Free Palestine," is most similar to "Free South Africa," both the movement and the chant that arose during the era of apartheid. Free Palestine means free Palestine. It's a call for liberation. It's a call to end the systemic oppression, dispossession, and genocide of the Palestinian people. It has nothing to do with Judaism. If Israel were a Catholic state, rather than a Jewish one, the call would be the same.

I will never look the same way again at anyone who supported this horrific genocide. May you rot in hell.

By Dr Zelana The Ache of Being Awake I think I'm grieving. Not a person. But a framework. A shared sense of decency. Of clarity. Of what's right, and what's way off. Lately, everything feels a little untethered, and I don't think I'm the only one feeling it. This isn't burnout. It's heartbreak without a name. The world feels... off. Truth is slippery. Cruelty wears a mask called "authenticity." And attention? It's currency now spent constantly, without care. We scroll past genocide, then post a selfie. Leaders lie. Suffering becomes content. And somewhere in the chaos... we're expected to just keep functioning. But we weren't built for this kind of detachment. And your body knows it. So maybe what you're feeling isn't stress. Or burnout. Or distraction. Maybe it's grief. Not for a person, but for a moral compass we didn't realize we lost. For the values you thought were universal. For accountability. For the quiet agreements we once shared but can't seem to find anymore. It's not dysfunction. It's your integrity reacting to distortion. No selfcare "hack" can touch this. No cold plunge. No smoothie. No optimized protocol. Because this isn't fatigue. It's a soul-level ache. The kind that comes from seeing too much. Feeling too much. Caring in a world that keeps asking you to numb. You're not broken. You're awake... in a world that keeps trying to sleep through the sirens.
