Please, internet, do your thing. The memes, they are necessary…
President Donald Trump looks utterly dejected watching his military parade that no one attended. This is the look you get when you throw yourself a $45M birthday party, and no one comes. Worse, everyone gathers and has other parties to talk about how much you suck. It’s just utterly *chef’s kiss*. Trump is flanked by Pete Hehseth, who looks sleepy, and a pissed-off and bored Melanie Trump.

Internet has now been cut to most of Gaza. People have no way tocall for help, get warnings or communicate with the outside world.

Nasser Hospital may also shut down, and troops are closing in.

It’s never been more dangerous to be in Gaza.

Can’t reach anyone and my heart is absolutely shattered.💔
Post from Medical Aid Pal with an update from Dr Mohammed Saqr, Director of Nursing at Nasser Hospital, Gaza's last major functioning hospital in the south, which is close to collapse and Israeli forces are closing in. Nasser Hospital is the only facility providing comprehensive medical services in southern Gaza and serves approximately one million Palestinians in Khan Younis and the central region. Post from Medical Aid Pal with an update from Dr Mohammed Saqr, Director of Nursing at Nasser Hospital, Gaza's last major functioning hospital in the south, which is close to collapse and Israeli forces are closing in. “If we are forced to stop working, the healthcare system in southern Gaza will collapse entirely, and at least 100 patients will immediately lose their lives.” Post from Kareem Abu Kwaik from Gaza: THE LAST MESSAGE The internet and all means of communication have been completely cut off in the entire Gaza Strip We can't even call an ambulance if something happens Post from Kareem Abu Kwaik from Gaza: No Calls, No Internet, No Help This might be our last message Before the silence swallows us please hear us: We are human We deserve to live Don't let our voices disappear Share our voice, Speak for us & follow Share our last message

AG’s story popped up on my insta, and I almost dropped the phone.

I also *literally* yelled “GOOD GOD DO NOT DO THIS TO ME, SIR” at my phone like a completely sane person.

Lethal. #Nuggets #NBA
Aaron Gordon from the Denver Nuggets reclines back in a sauna in some saucy little polka dot shorts. He is not just looking like a snack, per usual. This is a damn feast. 👀

Witness. Document. More eyes on Madleen can (hopefully) lessen the danger.

Same freakin’ energy…
Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats take a knee in the Capitol building while wearing Kente cloth scarves from Ghana, in a display of “solidarity” that truly accomplished nothing but to make them look like performative jackasses.

Meiko Katji poses with my Keffiyeh …because it may be #Caturday, but every day is a good day to show support for a free Palestine. 🍉
A tortoiseshell cat looks directly into the camera. She is reclining back on a black and white Palestinian Keffiyeh and a patchwork quilt.

I took a break from cleaning, so Meiko Katji decided I’m absolutely done for the day.

Who am I to argue with this squish? #cat
A tortoiseshell cat is curled up in a ball on a blue and white patterned sheet, sleeping. I failed at getting a photo of her without my hand partially in the photo on the right. She’s adorable, regardless.

Flu Murray. #Nuggets

An MS paint drawing of Nuggets Point Guard Jamal Murray in his 5280 uniform and a blue bathrobe, with a thermometer in his mouth, an ice pack on his head, and a runny nose. He essentially looks awful and still plays like a basketball god.
