Thanksgiving is, has always been, and will always be a celebration of genocide against Indigenous folks in what is now called the ‘us’ and the systems that allowed the genocide to occur and to be celebrated in the first place.

For those watching #StrangerThings, remember that the cast passed around signs saying they are proud zionists in the middle of an ongoing livestreamed genocide carried out by the zionist regime.

Please say “ethnic cleansing” when posting this stuff because that’s what they’re broadcasting. They’re broadcasting plans to engage in ethnic cleansing.
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Ngl, I still fret a lot about asking for help with bills and getting out of debt.
In this week’s session of the Utopia workshop series hosted by @yaffasutopia.bsky.social, all my reflections were all about how I can provide care. It was a really important point that receiving care is crucial too.

To Liberation
You come alive before me,
Projected from my heart.
You are new and ancient, and have waited a very very long time.
So have I.
You are noetic, actual and material. It’s how I know you can be both seed and cedar
Hoary and yielding sapling
W/a huge canopy
Of starlight.

Underdiscussed point: how much responsibility Substack bears for Bari Weiss being in the position she is now in.
Fuck substack
Fuck substack
the quality of work that bari weiss produced at THE FREE PRESS was dogshit-tier bad (even by the standards of right wing slop) but it was a financial success anyway because Substack's right wing owners and other oligarch benefactors heavily promoted it.

I forgot to mention that the Utopia workshop today hosted by @yaffasutopia.bsky.social surprisingly gave me new perspective on my struggles with writing: the topic was non attachment. I had become attached to writing being able to stop a genocide. It can’t, and that devastated me.

The Utopia workshop was hosted by the MASGD: The Muslim Alliance for Sexual and Gender Diversity. I think it must be my first time being in a space that was affirming of not identifying as Muslim but being both racialized as Muslim and culturally Muslim. (In my case, I’m also culturally Christian).

Tragically, Israel has done its best to ruin these Jewish symbols for everyone and brought danger to all Jews by constantly conflating the IDF’s barbarism with the Jewish people. That is unforgivable.
