Hello friends. I send you greetings from Gaza. Preliminary statistics show that 16 children from the school were injured during the war—out of a total of 400 students—meaning that 4% of the student body was injured. This is war. Please share this and donate if you can. bit.ly/help-mohamed

“At immigration court for detained children in New York City on Wednesday, a boy named Diego represented himself in front of the judge, Lisa Ling.” "I don’t know how to do it,” he said about an asylum form he was asked to fill out in English. “I don’t know if you can help me fill it out.”

11 Years Old. In Immigration Court. Alone. No Lawyer.

I bang on about this, but this is an initiative across industries to convince consumers that persistent surveillance is a benefit to the user when it’s actually an attempt to turn consumers into a constant source of data (far beyond the ways we currently are).

this is an interesting interpretation, especially when I think about it in relation to the question of whether dysphoria is necessary for transness. Where does euphoria lead? Is there an entirely different set of parameters beyond the existance or non-existance of suffering?

what’s with the eyeball | patreon.com/lubchansky
PANEL 1: MATTIE, standing outside a building that has a huge glowing eyeball affixed to the door. A GUY leans out the window.
MATTIE: EXCUSE ME?
GUY: Yeah?

PANEL 2: Closer in on the GUY and the eyeball. He gestures a thumb at it.
MATTIE (VO): What's with the big eyeball?
GUY: A wizard sold me that – it watches every single thing that goes on and tells me!
GUY: I think the wizard can see it too. I guess. He wasn't clear on that.

PANEL 3: The first shot again. The EYEBALL speaks. The GUY shrugs. MATTIE spreads her arms wide.
EYEBALL: ANGRY WOMAN OUTSIDE
MATTIE: Isn't that a violation of the social contract?
GUY: I guess so!

PANEL 4:  Close in on the GUY. He holds up a scroll that says "Special" in ornate script.
GUY: No, no. Wizard also sold me an exception to that.

Being trans is a blessing, and transition is a prayer. All of it is animated by truth and hope.
Tweet from @tranz_schubert: doom all you like, but at the end of the day the very act of coming out as trans is one of unfathomable optimism. it's an act entirely predicated on the chance that you can make a complete and total change of your life for the better. on some level, you do have hope.

The attacks on Black voting rights, reproductive rights, and trans lives are intertwined. Our resistance must be too. "While the Government of Tennessee is hardly the first government to assemble a list of trans people, they would be the first to release information from that list to the public."

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in: 1. Do not do age verification. 2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

A thing that might not be clear from the outside is that while everyone here is engaged in this fight, ICE’s use of dystopian technology means that you essentially have to pick a lane between observing ICE and doing mutual aid. They are tracking observers’ cars, and taking pictures of their faces.

gentle reminder to folks living in cities that are not under siege by the federal government yet: please start getting involved with your local mutual aid orgs asap, even if it's in an "on-hold / as available" capacity. a large bottleneck for mutual aid orgs is vetting. it takes time to do safely.

Google’s latest update has led to blocking Palestinian phone numbers, especially those from Gaza. This is serious because it means: No ability to create new Gmail accounts. Difficulty recovering old accounts. Losing access to essential services linked to Gmail.

PITTSBURGH'S Public Source

Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh journalists return to their jobs at the Post-Gazette after three years on strike
After a court ruling in their favor, long-striking journalists declared victory and returned to a pivotal Southwestern Pennsylvania newsroom.
They return as union organizing continues throughout the region.

November 24, 2025Natalie Duleba, local secretary of the guild, hugs Jon Schleuss, president of the NewsGuild Communications of America, as she hands him the mic. "The first day of this strike, our folks went over across the street and they sat down at a table, and they started talking about that they were going to take care of each other," said Schleuss, acknowledging the guild could not have known how long the path back to work would be.
