That little red box on the dash? That’s a young, mated queen bee, and her pheromones are so strong, this poor Texas beekeeper’s vehicle is filled with wild neighboring bees that can’t resister her. How will he empty his car? Glad it’s not me! 🌱 🐝

"I have no strategy for this grief. My state of mind resembles the Gaza landscape. Bombed beyond comprehension. My only survival tactic is to breathe. To acclimate myself to the idea that we, our stories, our homes, our loved ones, our lives, don’t matter." - Samah Sabawi
#Gaza #Palestine #Genocide
Samah Sabawi Mon 7/04/2025 5:23 PM I'm still in the sky flying over Asia making my way back to Melbourne. I've responded to just one question. Please edit as you see fit. You write about painful events with so much love and humanity. Did you develop any specific routines or strategies to support yourself through such emotionally difficult material? Forgive me, but | think this word ‘painful’ has been stretched over the last year and half of genocide, to contain a world of wordless emotions. Indescribable emotions. Is there a word in any language to describe what we see in Gaza today? How small and inadequate language becomes when you have fallen outside the boundaries of vocabulary. We are in the post era of adequate. We are in post language, post diplomacy, post erasure, post dispossession, post ethnic cleansing, post rules-based order, post truth in reporting, post pretending, post everything. | have no strategy for this grief. My state of mind resembles the Gaza landscape. Bombed beyond comprehension. My only survival tactic is to breath. To acclimate myself to the idea that we, our stories, our homes, our loved ones, our lives, don’t matter. So, what can | possibly say in this post world about a book | wrote in another life, a book for my father and his Gaza, now that I live in this post Gaza moment? Not one of the significant landmarks I've written about has survived Israel’s bombardment. Not one street has been left undug. Not one mosque still stands. Not one school opens doors to students to run with their lunch bags and dreams. Not the old souq with abundant fruits and vegetables collected from nearby fields. Not even fields. Not one cafe along the beach. No beach. Nothing is left. Only desperate people who have the audiacity to insist on filming their genocide and making us watch them die. Did you know that in this post moment, there is not one family member of mine left alive in Gaza? The year this book came out was the year my family was completely ethnically cleansed. Every last Sabawi forced to leave. So what can | say about Cactus Pears for My Beloved? A book | had written as a love letter to my father and to his beloved Gaza? A book that has become a heartbreaking obituary of both baba, and the city he so loved.

The image is an infographic titled "Accommodations make a difference," illustrating how various factors influence a person's ability to complete tasks. Visual Details: The background is light beige, with sections highlighted in green and red. On the left side, there’s a gradient scale measuring task demand, with red indicating high demand and green indicating low demand. In the center, an explanation contrasts two scenarios: one where the same person faces task demands and another where accommodations are applied. The central text explains that accommodations can help manage demands effectively. Interpretations: The infographic emphasizes the importance of understanding individual needs and how accommodations can support someone’s ability to perform tasks, particularly in contexts like occupational therapy. It suggests that even minor adjustments can significantly impact a person’s performance and well-being. The overall message is about the role of accommodations in improving the capacity to engage with demanding tasks.

i don't know who needs to hear this but if your doctor has you on a too low dose of estrogen pills and won't listen to reason you can make each pill much more effective by dissolving it slowly under your tongue (sublingual) or between your cheek and gums (buccal)

My kids got to see my bus ad today when it pulled up next to our car at a stop light!

City bus stopped at a stop light. The ad on the side of the bus says "protect trans kids. Trust kids when they tell you who they are."

A mature aloe compressa on a gold plant stand. It has long leaves in a fan shape with the newer growth at the center. The leaves are light green and have teeth on the edges. The pot is brown and reflects a man's face with ornate designs in the neck area.

I think the trick with the rubber snake is working; at least for now.
Those monkeys are not taking any chances. 😄

The Sequoia that was in a brick like pot, I did not like much, got moved up to better size/shape/ drainage of this converted cat litter tray from a 2nd hand store.
It has a lift-out liner that has a plastic mesh floor so I will lift it up & add soil below for more development later

This is what your "reasonable concerns" about gender-affirming care sound like, cis folks.

And if you say it anywhere I can hear you, expect to get an earful.

(If you want to know WHY, feel free to ask me. It'll still be an earful, but a much kinder one.)

TFW you give a talk about rewriting history in which you, wait for it, rewrite some history.

Dr. Henry claims she's always been nuanced about value of masks and about how COVID is spread, but the record says otherwise.

The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. “It feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social:

CDC removes data on sexual orientation, gender identity from website
Data from an expansive federal survey on youth behavioral habits, including their sexual orientation and gender identity, have been removed from the website of the CDC.

Friend asked help raising $350 for a go-bag for her & her 3 cats & some supplies in case of emergencies. She has no outside support as she appeals for disability

linktr.ee/wylder (scroll to 'DV Survivor' links)

Every day she's fighting panicked meltdowns about being alone through everything.

There is a plant pot with cat grass immediately behind and to the left of the cat. Close up shot of a black long-haired cat with green eyes against a gold background looking up at the camera.

I don't come on Bluesky very often for many reasons, so today when I popped in it was weird to immediately see a post of mine from Mastodon had been shared via screen shot. Life is weird.

The head sycophant of our current BC eugenics program. As a disabled person I haven't been able to safely participate in society for several years now because of the policies and denial surrounding Covid. BC would just like us to die and go away. God forbid we have any human rights. Get fucked.

A protester confronts Dr. Bonnie Henry and her failed pandemic policies:

"Why did you abandon disabled people? Your policies are not kind. We are not safe. Covid is still happening. People are left dead and disabled every day. I don't want your words, I want you to do better. Get fucked."
