I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

STOP STARVING GAZA NOW: The people of Gaza have called on us to act. We are joining the call to people of conscience to stand against the U.S.-backed Israeli-manufactured famine in Gaza. People of all age groups are being gruesomely starved, with deaths due to malnutrition on the rise every day.

![4-panel comic.

The thing is... It wasn't always like this. I mean, it was always a little like this (the hearts thing is a fucking disaster, read up on the growth mindset already), but the ads have certainly become much more aggressive as they try to squeeze more engagement and money from their users.

We will not stand idly by: Free Mahmoud Khalil!
Jewish Voice for Peace demands the Trump administration release Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention. The detention of Mahmoud is further proof that we are on the brink of a full takeover by a repressive, authoritarian regime.

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a Black teen, and shuttered public clinics and schools. Cuomo covered up COVID nursing home deaths and harassed women. These men heard "now is the time of monsters" and decided to attempt a comeback. They both belong in hell.

“This is an unprecedented overstep in authority, but instead of coming from Republicans, it’s coming from a Democrat in one of the bluest states in the country. They’re the ones that are supposed to be fighting to protect academic freedom. This is a tremendous abdication of that responsibility.”

Over the weekend Steve Bannon:
- Proclaimed support for Israel
- Did a sieg heil salute
- Issued threats against progressive American Jews.
Bannon and his actions epitomize what it means to be an antisemitic supporter of Israel in our government.
