Mohammed has a super detailed chuffed that is a very good read if you’re interested at all about life in Gaza- he also has done a thread in the post I’m quoting ⬇️ about his family history that is very interesting
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed is 22 and was studying electrical engineering (you can read about his family in the 🧵 ). He’s trying to help his family including his pregnant sister Rasha and his 4 year old nephew Khamis who started kindergarten yesterday!

#QueerWritersChat A5: I would love it if folk checked out the Aven Cycle: Historical fantasy set in an alternate ancient Rome with elemental magic.

Available in ebook, print, and audio, and if your library doesn't have it, ask 'em to get it!

abolishing the private #adoption industry and ending the legal practice of plenary adoption—the irreversible rewriting of a child’s legal identity and falsification of their natal kinship relations—does *not* mean abolishing long-term custodial care for a child who needs it. +

Pie. I mean, you can have pie all year round, and I do, but they really come out and into their own around October through December. Pumpkin, apple, pecan... There's a lot to love 🥧

#QueerWritersChat Q3:

Honestly, no. I mean, they might at some point, but not in the course of the book. I feel like the Xmas season would be big in the setting, but it would be more about the consumerism than anything else. 🙅🏻

#QueerWritersChat Q2:

Favorite holiday? That's a tough one. Probably a toss up between Halloween and Yule. Honestly, the season of October to December is just a fav place to be in the timeline.

- Prisons absolutely can & should be abolished.
- Defunding police to fund social & educational programs will do more for crime than any amount of funding to police ever will.
- Until UBI, housing, medical care, & food are guaranteed to ALL parents & pregnant folks, adoption is unethical at best.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

None of asked to be here, so everyone should be provided food, clothing, housing, and medical care. The first three should be done through UBI, but the latter is free.
I also think anything involving education should also be free, including the "extras" like school trips for kids.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*
