So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10

Queer and trans anti-Zionist Jews have no pride in Israeli genocide and apartheid.

I'm barely on here, and I'm well aware this may be a privileged and tone-deaf ask, but I need to do something. Mutuals, if you know any anti-Zionist resources I can use to educate myself on Judaism, all recs welcome. I refuse to let Zionism taint my respect for Judaism. I REFUSE.

Israel carried out its plan to erase Gaza over the course of 18 months. Now that the plan has clearly fallen into place, the Netanyahu government is openly discussing ethnic cleansing. And still, Israel enjoys complete international impunity. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/exte...

Ah yes, it was the people committed to ending genocide that “gave Trump a boost,” not the political party that insisted on genocide as part of their policy platform. Makes sense. www.thebulwark.com/p/pro-palest...
Pro-Palestinian Activists Gave Trump a Boost. They Have No Regrets.
Groups that rallied against Biden and Harris say they’d do it all over again.

You'd be surprised by how quickly people run out of sympathy when someone won't get better. You won't believe how fast they'll start saying that the person deserves it, or that they brought it on themselves for not being the perfect, cheerful, obedient patient. 🧵

Anyone who thinks mutual aid can fully replace the state and infrastructure has clearly never dealt with chronic illness or disability. Mutual aid is great for prolonged low-intensity or short high-intensity crises. But chronic conditions often require constant, high-intensity support.

I know people always laugh at Taiwan for legislators fighting in the House… but looking at the US now, I can’t help thinking that, if there was ever a time for an elected rep to punch a Trumpist Republican in the face for the sake of democracy… Just saying, at least it would be *something*

These new directives are going to trans kids abused and killed. It's certainly going to make finding missing trans kids harder if you only refer to them by their deadnames. You're supposed to be fighting to protect our most vulnerable, not bending over backwards to
appease a minority hate group that wants them dead. You have to show a spine and stand up to these fucking bullies, now.

President Musk is a pedophile, as is his flunkie Trump. How many more children are you willing to let get raped because you're scared to say "no" during a fascist coup? Or all you all collaborators over there?

Get fucked,

Ps. No seriously, fuck you.

there's an industry saying "money flows to the writer" and what it means is don't pay to sub, don't pay to have an agent read your stuff, don't pay anyone for any stage of the trad pub process unless youre hiring readers or editors to separately work on stuff with you BEFORE you submit

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Thinking recently of the old italian man in Heller's Catch 22.
The old man laughed indulgently, holding in check a deeper, more explosive delight. His goading remained gentle. “Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? How much longer do you really think your own country will last? Forever? Keep in mind that the earth itself is destined to be destroyed by the sun in twenty-five million years or so.

another example from Twitter user gompers_stomper. during the vietnam war protestors against dow (the manufacturer of napalm) would go to supermarkets and fill their carts to the brim with expensive meats like hams and roasts. at checkout they'd ask if they sold saran wrap made by dow.

down thread there's a further example. whenever a nazi entered a restaurant everyone else would walk out. when the nazis banned this practice, everyone would sit and stare at their watches for 15 minutes and then walk out.

It is damn near impossible to grow 100% of a balanced diet on your own and unthinkable if you don’t have a lick of experience. You wanna cut down your produce bills w a couple raised beds, maybe learn to can? Sure. You want to opt entirely out of the preexisting food system? Lol. Lmao. Enjoy scurvy.

Once again I am seeing people pick a random day for a general strike and posting that date on Bluesky like a prayer to an absent god. Once again I am begging you, that is not how this works. A general strike is a fantastic idea. You can’t start with bluesky. You have to start with unions.
