For the love of Owd Scratch, someone give this woman her own series - I could honestly listen to @g0blinegg.bsky.social wax lyrical about the restless dead all day long 👻
I'm excited to share that the latest episode of 'Gone Medieval' podcast features the Shropshire Witches! We talked about medieval ghosts and all things spooky! Teenage me would be pinching herself!

Think of Vance publicly demanding his wife to convert to Christianity through how whiteness ‘always already implies supremacism'(Lentin), part of ‘multiculturalist white supremacy’ (Rodriguez).
Usha V is no victim though. She’s an enabler of the white supremacist project that has turned against her.

Remember that ceasefire everyone praised Trump for securing between Israel & Gaza?
Netanyahu just massacred 104 Palestinian civilians, including 46 children, on the mere accusation that Hamas handed over the 'wrong' corpse
HE MASSACRED 46 CHILDREN & I doubt you've heard one media outlet mention it

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

This is hideous. And close to inexplicable unless Trump is doing what Putin tells him to.
SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.
Details here:

Trump Admin Nixed Contract Helping Kidnapped Ukrainian Kids: Sources
The fate of abducted Ukrainian children is a white-hot issue for peace negotiations—and it looks like the State Department may have just undercut the cause.

30 years ago I volunteered as a clinic escort in Buffalo, NY and most of the ‘regulars’ were grey-haired granny aged liberal women who put their bodies on the line in the dead of winter. I’m 51 now and still view them as my role model for activism. These women are fulfilling the tradition.
Someone in the crowd started an anti-trans rant at the Markey town hall and was immediately swarmed by a bunch of older lib women who shouted her down and chased her out, like a bunch of crows chasing away a predator.

If you or people you know, are having difficulty understanding why Ukraine is "our problem," here's a visual. And also, defending innocent lives from hostile takeovers should be a sufficient reason alone.
