Sometimes the existential whiplash of chronic illness/dynamic disability is just A Lot. Yesterday I was tired but energised & thinking about applying for a job. Today I’m beyond exhausted, everything hurts & it took me 2hrs to eat a bowl of cereal.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.
But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

🧵 Dutton says he'll seek an FTA with Israel if he wins the election.
A reminder that the International Court of Justice last year found all countries were “under an obligation not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by Israel’s illegal presence” in occupied territory.

As footage of dead kids in Gaza fills your timeline once again, keep in mind that the reason the empire has worked so hard to stomp out all criticism of Israel’s western-backed atrocities is because our rulers planned on sponsoring way more atrocities and murdering way more kids.

I genuinely assumed this is exactly why he’s doing it?
musk constantly carrying one kid — and only one kid — on his shoulders everywhere in public gets real fucking dark when you think about how often he talks about how people want to kill him.

Last night I had a series of weird, mildly stressful dreams. In my underwear, soaking wet in a public library; someone’s dog escaped their yard; got a bad haircut; didn’t know how to use a photocopier; put on the spot by my high school English teacher to detail the life of Liberace.

dear cis people. please learn the phrase "assigned sex"
biological sex is not an immutable trait, it is something that is assigned at birth, and more arbitrary than you realize.
You can change your sex, many people do
