I wish for everyone what they wish for Palestine. I haven’t been crafting much since October 2023. I am in my reading and bookmark making era. From my IG. BlackLivesMatter. Not a Knitter, but I knit a lot. Spinster, paper crafting, etc. Free Palestine.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope. Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.

i knew there was a far side comic for the news today
Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson. A human is getting mail from his apartment mailbox and lurking in a dark corner by the stairs is an elephant standing like a biped. It is wearing an appropriately sized grey trenchcoat and an undersized fedora. The whole thing has a film noir vibe, but it is rendered in color. The caption reads, “"Remember me, Mr. Schneider? Kenya. 1947. If you're going to shoot at an elephant, Mr. Schneider, you better be prepared to finish the job."

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.
In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.
On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people - and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.
