The new @broadsoundmag.com offering is really lovely and full of smart, moving stuff (blown away by @goblins.download’s comic for one thing). Just delighted to be part of this project and happy there’s a printed volume to peruse

I knew the RNZ story was a poorly written piece of propaganda product placed by an anti-trans group, but reading this made it clear that it was FAR worse People have been calling for the "journalist" to resign, but the abhorrent and multiple failures should see multiple people removed for good

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

Had time to take this in now, and it seems from some of the things Alex has said that his parents were abusive as well as transphobic - there is some super controlling shit in there. A lot of people in a lot of news organisations need to think about how they just accepted the parents' narrative.

Stop conflating being transgender with being sick
This week, RNZ reported on a tragic death. In the process it perpetuated many harmful messages about young trans people.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

#PRESSRELEASE TPM Demands Safe Passage Of Madleen To Gaza “This is the Mavi Marmara all over again - but the world has no excuse for silence now. We stand with the people of Gaza. We stand with the Madleen”. @whaeadeb.bsky.social #NZPol #JusticeForPalestine www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA25...
Screenshoot 1: 

A Facebook post from Debbie Ngarewa- Packer, featuring a press release from Te Pāti Māori. The post condemns the Israeli navy’s armed interception of the civilian aid vessel Madleen, carrying food, medical supplies, and activists including Greta Thunberg. It states that communications have been cut and the safety of the crew is unknown. The post accuses Israel of a pattern of violence against civilians and labels the act an abduction. It calls the blockade and starvation campaign “genocide” and urges the New Zealand Government to demand safe release of the crew, safe aid passage to Gaza, name the actions as genocide, and sanction Israel. The post ends by referencing the Mavi Marmara incident and affirms solidarity with Gaza and the Madleen.

Screenshot 2:

A protest scene featuring a crowd with Palestinian flags and signs. In the foreground, a person with a Te Pāti Māori jacket raises their fist. Overlaid red text reads:
“Israel’s block on aid” and
“Te Pāti Māori Demand Safe Passage of Madleen to Gaza.”
The Te Pāti Māori logo appears at the bottom.

Be careful, friends, when you read accounts of what is happening in LA. We will hear a lot about violence, and it is essential to remember who is defining that term. "When state actors refer to peace, they are really taking about order..." (@prisonculture.bsky.social and @mskellymhayes.bsky.social)
A page from Let This Radicalize You by Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes, the chapter called "Violence" in Social Movements, page 111. Under the heading "They Will Call You Violent" the text reads:

If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because violence is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent. Even as people experience the violence of poverty the torture of imprisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, as long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to peaceful protest, they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

my systems have mostly been iterated on over a decade and become pretty reliable, so not filling out my planner at all is [klaxons], but lesser notes go from "not using stickers/colours" through "only filling out tomorrow's tasks and not even doing a brief 'proud of/grateful for' end of day note"

yeah, for sure! i think there's trends anyway, so i keep my categories broad. like my habit tracker lumps lifting and going for a run together in one box, crafting/making music, drawing/writing, reading/social time. i track dates w my wife and w myself, how much i'm relying on weed or valium, etc

They're going to try memory holing this later so you won't remember resistance. They did it with Ferguson over a decade ago, so thoroughly that a lot of Americans don't recall it. They did it with the BLM protests 5 years ago, less success but we'll see by 2030. They'll try again. Don't let them.

the uk's far — if you can afford it i think getting elastomeric respirators (safety p2 silicone/etc w filters) is great. i drool when asleep and other masks would become useless! don't unmask when the plane is on the ground, in the air filtration is a lot better so eating/drinking is lower risk

+ a lot of poorer rightwing indians are easily led to believe the real problem isn't their richer "indians stick together" mates exploiting them but that their being treated as subhuman comes from the "unfairness" of being a "racial minority that doesn't get indigenous perks". it sucks

kī anthony @goblins.download · 20/05/2025
as an indian it's specifically about importing caste structures or just straight up classism imo. hindutva ideology is in many ways fundamentally aligned with white supremacy and anti-indigenous rhetoric. the business-owning class of indians buy into the bootstraps thing and racist crime theories

I've been working this week with a group of people who support survivors of sexual abuse - including in state & faith-based care. To say their expectations were low would be an understatement. This makes their lowest expectations look like wild optimism. So grim. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

screenshot of a tweet by @PabloReports reading as follows

🚨SCOOP: 
@MigrantInsider
 has confirmed that about an hour ago, two ICE agents entered Chang Chang, a restaurant in Dupont, claiming to be serving an I-9 inspection notice.

The agents, both 40-ish men wearing plain clothes and carried a manilla folder and a walkie talkie, were told by the manager they needed a warrant. 

Upon hearing this, the agents said they didn't need a warrant and tried to push past the staff to get at the kitchen workers, but staff didn't budge and the manager ran the agents off, insisting they needed a warrant until the agents finally left.

No one was detained.

the thing about bans on social media is that my parents had one (net nanny but worse), and instead i got groomed on _wikipedia's freenode irc channels_. you can't reduce harm to children by cutting them off from life. you have to make sure their families and schools are set up for thriving.

I do genuinely wonder how many people think what happened with Wikipedia is that “society accepted it” rather than that they put a ton of work into making it reliable, something that is not going to make AI reliable because no technology to actually understand meaning has been or can be invented.
