I wish we lived in a world where his name and ethnicity and religion didn’t matter. But that is not the world we live in.
This is also just one of the bravest fucking things I’ve seen someone do in a long time.

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.
A true hero.

This is exactly what I did. If you have health insurance, it will likely be free and they’ll just give it to you.
For now. Just go get the shot, ESPECIALLY if you were born in the late 70’s to mid 80’s. Not all of us got a second shot as kids.

If you are worried this is too big an executive function barrier you can go to a pharmacy and they will probably just jab you. That is what I did.
I'm not saying it's necessarily the right way to do this, that is just how much I am not fucking around with the measles

Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.

Which is what a surveillance state is… WHICH IS BAD.
my 2018 prius can do this with basically a backup camera and some rudimentary software. also every single one of these motherfuckers has a map app running that they are logged into, which 1. knows the speed limit and 2. is surveilling them
It is not a "surveillance state" for your car to know that the speed limit is 25 miles per hour.

I really would ask ppl on this site to think for a minute about what it feels like to have a moderation team hell-bent on erasing your existence online while an ethnostate destroys you in real life
I knew Bluesky would delete this page today because they’ve deleted all my shares this week- this was Dina’s first page ever here and here’s what it looked like this morning- no tags, no spam, following only 45 people.

I’ve been contemplating this cover all morning. The image itself is just so painfully contrived. None of them look like they belong there. Their clothes, their postures, and the very bad photo editing makes it look like they’re all going to slide right off. They don’t belong.

This is why borders are bullshit, the visa system is trash, and passports are racist nonsense that belongs in the dustbin of history.
