I recently set up a newsletter as a place for my curiosity and writing to live, and a way to create some structure around writing that will motivate me to do more of it. Today, I finally sent my first email – a reflection on the ethics of being a settler in nature.

“To take a position against genocide is certainly not an antisemitic thing to do,” said Butler. “Most Jews are against genocide, and we were taught to be against genocide, and we were taught, as well, that ‘never again’ is a slogan that should apply to all people.”

More reasons to be anti-AI

Yesterday was the birthday of movement ancestor Leslie Feinberg Z”L. Leslie was a trans and working class lesbian Jew who stood in lifelong solidarity with Palestinians and viewed her/hir work for LGBT and Palestinian liberation as deeply connected.

What's happening to Lil Nas X is horrifying and should alarm every queer person in the United States.

The system is looking for excuses to devour us right now.

The young people who would have been most likely to lead the domestic anti-fascist fight in 2025 were repeatedly arrested, beat, jailed, mocked by elites and non-elites over the past 5 years. This was bipartisan. I find it interesting whenever some people ask 'where the young people are' now.

Thinking about this little one again. I wish I had so much more time! I'd love to do a whole project with these brave and brilliant hummingbird knights of the Garden Court.

Got the new @mattielubchansky.com from the library, my preorder of the new @charliejane.bsky.social came in the mail, AND I’ll be seeing Charlie Jane during her book tour this weekend. It’s truly a great day to be trans (despite… y’know)! 📚🏳️‍⚧️

American Jewish institutions will never wash their hands clean of this sanctioning of the murder of children. Of men. Of brothers. Of women. Of aunties. Of grandfathers. Of mothers. Of people.

Shande shande shande on all of you

I have, since I was a child, had a trauma reaction to Holocaust-like images and this last year has tested my ability to remain functional because the daily onslaught of images from Gaza are incredibly triggering

To see the skin and bones children in Gaza now is to look at the Holocaust

Please help me bring my sister home.
I was disowned by my birth family over ten years ago. Annie Jump was the one who offered me a shelter when I became houseless. The mantra she lives by is “We protect Us.” She has always been here for us. Let’s show her that the community is here for her.

Annie Jump was arrested on Thursday, 02/27/25 around 1:30pm after being hate crimed and attack by an Amazon driver outside of her home in West Hollywood, CA.

The police report is a haphazard mess, full of inconsistencies and mimics a pattern of retaliation against political activist, Annie Jump.

Please help us raise the $12,000 it's going to take in order to bring Annie Jump Vicente, the trans rights activist arrested for defending herself with pepper spray outside of her West Hollywood apartment on 02/27, home and retain a lawyer for her.
