These posts are a bit redundant. But so is life with EDS. What are we going to do, zebras? It's so rare that anyone in the medical establishment actually believes us. Do we all have to die? Will they even believe us then?

New Zealand, we’re still marching this weekend. Ceasefire now. End Gaza besiege. End occupation.
What has just kicked off in Gaza is a 4-day “humanitarian pause” only, it’s not a lasting ceasefire and end to the killing. Israel said it’d carry on the killing after the 4 days.

It's going to be bad, but we have each other, and we can fight. Show up. Make noise. Join your union. Organise in your community. Please PLEASE protect queer kids. Learn te reo Māori. Vote for progressive local body candidates in 2025. Get ready to slam every Select Committee. Whatever you can do.

Join your Union because they're coming for your wages, they're coming for your raises, they're coming for your breaks, they're coming for your sick leave, they're coming for your holidays and they're going to make it easy for you to be sacked. Unions fight, for solidarity! We are one from many.

Had a cool chat with a woman from Massey Uni Press a while back about Paul Diamond’s book on this. Really must get around to reading it 📚https://www.masseypress.ac.nz/books/downfall/
15 May 1920- Charles Mackay's spell as Whanganui mayor was brought to an end after he shot poet Richard D'Arcy Cresswell.
Cresswell claimed that Mackay made homosexual advances, then panicked. After the shooting, there was speculation that Cresswell had trying to blackmail Mackay into resigning.

The piece the Harvard Law Review pulled by a Palestinian scholar is smart and authoritative. Check the excerpts and you'll see why it was pulled. Will assign to my American Studies students who just covered banned books, anti-CRT, and censorship.

Like I don't know how it's controversial to say this but like the very very very very very very very first step in being anti-racist is listening to Black people when they say things and taking the things they say seriously.
I have no idea how that is like, a Very Difficult Task.
