My child, discussing her favorite foods: "Hot dogs aren't my favorite anymore, but I still eat them. Ham and Swiss croissants are my favorite favorite. I love them more than you, mama. Just a little bit."

If you’re using a family analogy for the nation, or your workplace, or anything really that’s not your fucking family, it doesn’t work. It’s not a family. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

All of the "natalist" preaching on twitter is so boringly regressive, reactionary, and heartless. It's not only that a woman's value is tied entirely to her fertility but also that she better not complain about the difficulties of child rearing 1/4

It's funny because Zionists like S. Yizhar wrote material just as damning as Farha. And it's canonical.

Done with the other site for good now, I think. Could not go into my 40s doing more of that. Every other time I posted about the Middle East, my words had more eyes on them than I wanted, and it was "cunt" this, "kapo" that, sprinkled in with some "lib zio" or "rhodesian."

In a Jerusalem Post piece by journalist-terrorist Michael Starr, the author describes his latest round of service in Gaza, where he took part in the genocide as an IDF reservist. In the piece Starr admits to the murder of a young Palestinian civilian who was carrying food.
