If you see any news article that begins with "Israeli authorities say"
Don't read further
It's guaranteed to be lies and propaganda

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

hastily passing around some tiny boxes that say "MEDICAL SUPPLIES" in ENGLISH for a camera op to pretend to give a shit about "humanitarian aid" and "minimizing causalities" after bombing and raiding a hospital is one of the most cartoonishly evil things i've ever seen

Given the current situation in Palestine, let me offer some words from Frantz Fanon.

“We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe.”

We must all remember that morality is subservient to necessity. Moralists profess a lie; that the revolt of the oppressed is a choice.

A big part of executive dysfunction is not having control over what tasks our brains focus on or for how long.

Sometimes it's struggling to get started, sometimes it's not being able to stop, and other times it's not completing the task before our brains gives up on it

World leaders swiftly express their solidarity when Israeli civilians are killed.

But when Israel calls Palestinians “human animals,” silence. When Israel cuts off fuel, food, water, and medicine, silence. When the bombs fall on Gaza, silence.

the WGA strike is over -- if you, like me, are lucky enough to have work to go back to please keep donating to the support funds. SAG-AFTRA is still on strike. there are still thousands of actors and crewmembers in need of aid.

The coming days are going to be full of western news media slyly reversing the aggressor-defender relationship and reporting as though all the violence began with the Hamas offensive, spontaneously out of nowhere.

I think one of the worst quirks of online spaces is the idea that if someone doesn't post about something, they don't care about it. It encourages performative posting often makes things worse.

I care a lot. I just don't want to add another poorly-informed voice. I'm reading & thinking.

Palestine has every right to defend themselves from a half a century of genocide, and an Apartheid regime as acknowledged by even CIA cutout “human rights” groups. If you disagree, I don’t care. You are wrong.

Hot damn, the WGA won. The summary of what's been agreed to is in the link but just, wow. www.wgacontract2023.org/the-campaign...

"ai is making it so everyone can make art"

Being ADHD and/or autistic impacts our ability to process information, but not evenly or equally.

Processing some types of information might be faster or more thorough, while processing others might be slower. And what's faster or slower will differ from person to person

It’s happening! At midnight thousands of autoworkers strategically shut down three huge plants.

For the first time ever the UAW is striking the three big companies simultaneously.

And all of us should support them, because this strike could help the whole working class.

"If you forgot it, it must not have been important" 100% totally and definitely does not apply to people with ADHD.

I assure you, ADHD working memory is so inconsistent that just about anything, of any importance, can just poof from our memory

I am pro-writer. Writing is labor. That does not mean writers get to infringe upon other's rights while securing the fruits of their labor. So no, writers should not use ai art or ai voices. Because that's fucked up. Labor solidarity shouldn't be this hard to comprehend, surely.
