Israel appears to have a fuck load more hostages being held than Palestine does.
Israel’s release of 90 Palestinian prisoners early Monday, hours after three Israeli hostages were freed in Gaza, capped the first of what may be a series of hostage-for-prisoner swaps at the start of a multistage cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Follow live updates.

Does anyone in #LAFires need a few nights accomodation? I have 4 nights booked and paid for in Hollywood that I can’t use or cancel. I’d rather it go to someone that needs it than sit empty!

An American city is on fire and the world’s richest man has done nothing but lie and make it worse.

Thank you to the people who are actually putting their lives on the line to save this country and fuck that spoiled rotten limp dick South African and any of the tough guys who live to kiss his ass.

Conservatives who have stuck their collective heads in the sand about climate change have shameless nerve blaming what’s happening in LA right now on liberals.

I’ve had valid ESTAs for entry into the US for 4 of the last 5 years, my last one expiring with my passport last year.

Applied for a new one with my new passport 2 weeks ago, it was only processed last night and I’ve been told “travel not authorised”, & there’s no time to now get a visa. Wtf.

The only thing worse than trying to be interested in my work the week before Christmas, is trying to stay focused when I forgot my ADHD medication this morning.

I decided this year that for every Christmas and birthday my niece and nephew are only getting books from me.
A love of books and storytelling is being lost in part because of educational policy, Katherine Marsh wrote last year: theatln.tc/WeNrQP2x

As of the November 6 tally, Harris had 21 million fewer votes than Biden; as of the November 24 tally, she has 6.7 million fewer votes than Biden—with counting ongoing—and <2.5 million fewer than Trump.

In just 3 dark-blue states—CA, IL, NY—a total of 3 million fewer people voted in 2024 than 2020.

Okay well something called a doomsday fish being elusive for decades and then three washing up doesn’t fill me with great positivity if it’s sign from the universe.
The oarfish, a striking deep-sea creature nicknamed the "doomsday fish," has eluded researchers over the decades. For scientists in California, where three oarfish have washed up in recent months, it’s an exciting find. nyti.ms/4fTGf8h
