Because he said that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon as though they have not complied with the IAEA inspection as a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (which Israel does not and is not).

One day I want to write and draw a story about a #Minoan boxer from ancient #Crete when the #Santorini event happened- found this sketch in my files - thought @mythsbaby.bsky.social and @flintdibble.bsky.social might line this

Don’t let Israel, the USA, and UK gaslight you into thinking Iran is the aggressor.

Israel bombed Iran.

Iran always said they’d negotiate if Israel stopped bombing them.

Israel is still committing a genocide in Gaza.

Never ever forget that Israel illegally bombed Iran. Israel is the aggressor here. Don’t let politicians and the media convince you otherwise.

I know it’s a lot but we also can’t let this push the fight for Palestinian liberation into the background.

Genuinely filled with despair from the replies here, with folks justifying why we ultimately need to let people starve to death for our own comfort.

Just people giving up on a population whose genocide is being facilitated by our governments, because solutions are too hard and uncomfortable.
We deeply understand that people in Gaza and other crisis areas need platforms to share their experiences and seek support, and we’re committed to ensuring that they can be heard on Bluesky. 1/8

Things are about to get a bit ancient.

I baked these biscuity sherds on a hemisphere cake tin in an attempt to recreate Ancient Greek pottery fragments in all three dimensions. The originals, dating from c.1600-435 BCE, can be found in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum.

If I was Prime Minister for a day I think the most petty thing I'd do is to ban immediately the noisy exhausts from cars and motorbikes. The ones that sound like explosions. Total ban. From day one.
Seize the vehicles and burn them. What would you ban?

You dont win the working class through transphobia, and I will tell you why:

1) Hating trans people and taking our rights does nothing to materially help cis people in working class
2) The majority of trans people are working class. Economic inequality hits us very hard.
3) Trans folks have a long

I know I’m still rarely on this platform but again I’m here to talk about my Naxian immigrant cat Anchovy.

Following some googling I’m fairly sure he has major Abyssinian in him. Reading about their behaviour/personality is like reading his diary.

Tell me he isn’t straight out of ancient Egypt?!
