I have my own thoughts about Ukraine but it was infuriating to watch Zelinksy, a man who’s seen real hardship, has been part of an actual war, being berated by those two little inexperienced privileged pompous pricks.
I'm watching Euro news and they're calling Zelenskyy one of the greatest leaders since 1945 and they are calling Trump and Vance The Jerry Springer show.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

People are upset that AI is determining who gets to keep their jobs. In Gaza AI was determining who got killed.
I have to stop thinking like this.

from leaflets dropped over Gaza:
“The map of the world will not change if all the people of Gaza disappear from existence, and no one will ask about you.”
what a cruel and pathetic lie

A few nights ago, I was looking through 1851 death notices (fun!) and saw that often death, at least in Couny Derry, was caused by a "visitation of God.”

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

First, identify the ties. I live in Oregon and this little progressive state ranks 3rd in the nation for exports to Israel. 🍉
Don't let Trump dictate the agenda. Make your demand of your government now:
If Israel intends to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians, you demand your government cut all ties with Israel.
You do it - you own the agenda, and not Trump
If Israel intends to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians, you demand your government cut all ties with Israel.
You do it - you own the agenda, and not Trump
This is how YOU disrupt and prevent the final destruction of the Palestinian people

We’re on track to lose everything
January 2025 has been 1.75°C above pre-industrial temperatures.
We’re on track to lose everything, & our ‘leaders’ - be they willfully ignorant cowards or outright fascist psychopaths - are owned by billionaires, intent on keeping us distracted & divided when we should be fighting for our lives.

I used to see almost only Palestine in my feed. 🍉Then, briefly, it was cute babies. Now my feed is apocalyptic. How to survive in your home using the techniques of Navy Seals; how to create your own emergency kit; what to do when the grid stops working and/or martial law is declared.

Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. Every hour, every day, wherever you are positioned, there are things you can do to resist. Take good care of yourself and those around you. Watch for opportunities and seize them.
We are in a fight—we have to focus—and it is a fight that we can win. 🙏🏾🙂♥️♥️

I've started looking for publishers in the UK and Ireland, assuming anybody anywhere else in the world is still willing to listen to American voices. ?

Instead of watching the you-know-what, I hung out with the baby today. I told him we're getting all the bad stuff out of the way, so when he's older it will be all blue sky.

I went to hear a writer speak about his new book on white supremacy and the ability of one group of people to dehumanize another. I waited for him to make the connection to Palestine but no. At this point such an omission seems deliberate.

England will bring the Irish so low that he shall have no heart, nor ability to endure his wretchedness. So pluck him on his knees that he will never be able to stand up again.

Another journalist was murdered. He bled to death for 5 hrs. while soldiers shot at paramedics trying to help.
Another appeal from Biden. Send money. Sign this petition against my impeachment.
At this point I'm about ready to start my own impeachment petition.
