My U.N. Commission’s Finding: Israel Is Committing Genocide

Below the headline is a large Reuters photograph showing a grieving person dressed in purple, hunched forward with their face buried in their hands. Several people surround and comfort them, resting their hands on their shoulders, arms, and head. Another person wearing a light purple headscarf leans in from the left.

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

Emerging from my Annual Flu/COVID Vax Lost Weekend. I get my shots on Friday after work, then I have until about noon on Saturday to be a functioning person. After that I'm in bed or on the couch for the weekend. Meanwhile my 82yr old mother gets her shots and she's like, "eh my arm hurts a little."

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.

Daniel Sanchez Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for transporting a box of zines he didn’t even write. The prosecution’s theory was that Sanchez moved zines, which discussed anti-government ideas, to conceal evidence in the case against his wife, Maricela Rueda.

A Trans woman in Kansas changed her license to M because of the gender marker ban passed earlier this year. She gets pulled over and they didn't believe the license was hers. They later charge her for driving with an invalid license. She complied with the law and was still charged criminally.
