I did not do anything today at all. It was both vacation and the weekend. The burnout is real. Please be safe and take care of each other, respect Indigenous people, and don’t be a cop.

Blocked this account quite awhile ago and really encourage people to block accounts that you find out are posting misinformation unchecked, even if it seems like it’s ideologically close to you it’s desperately important to take an active role in mitigating how much you see misinformation

I'm teaching this summer and my university doesn't recognize Juneteenth. I do, so I canceled class on Thursday. My class structure will look a bit different this week because of it aka I am about to teach my ass off M-W so that my students have all the material they need for Friday's quiz.

A celebration, in Gaza today, honoring donkeys for their immense service to the Palestinian people of Gaza in transportation services over the past 21 months, amid the absence of cars due to the lack of fuel, they’ve served in every type of situation. A well deserved, hard won moment of honor. 🫏 🩶🥹

Hey, I'm really embarrassed to talk about this, but I've been off HRT for a year due to not having insurance or the money for appointments and tests. I have insurance again. I'd really like to be back on HRT and feeling like me again. Any little bit helps. Thank you. GoFundMe.com/help-out-mona

Five members of a United Nations convoy carrying aid have been killed in an attack. The convoy was made up of 15 trucks from the UN's food and children's agencies, who said it was "devastating" that the aid did not reach "famine-stricken" el-Fasher. www.bbc.com/news/article...

NYT, WaPo, every tv network, etc etc is doing what they believe to be their jobs, and it's going to continue to be a hill to climb but the sooner people take that description literally and understand what it implies, the better off everyone will be.

❤️ love today to everyone who has had to bury their father alone in a strange land because of the war, or who hasn't been able to bury them or locate their remains because of the war, or who hasn't been able to visit their grave because of the war ❤️

The fact that civilian leadership understands it can’t rein in the police without having their families physically threatened really is a democratic crisis.

Vance Boelter was an anti-transgender Christian Nationalist who delivered anti-queer sermons in the DRC, in case anyone was confused as to his political slant.

"First responders" needs to be abolished from style guides because its purpose is to smuggle cops into a category that includes EMTs and firefighters. The phrase is deliberate copaganda that allows abusers to borrow an aura of respectability from other groups.

It is wrong to kill civilians and destroy civilian infrastructure. Doesn't matter whether it's "collateral damage" or some other excuse.

The number of ballistic missiles the Islamic Republic of Iran sent in this latest barrage was 30. The number of missiles it is sending keeps going down because it will run out of missiles in the next two weeks otherwise.

This is huge. The Trump administration wants to vastly expand the practice of shipping people to random countries they have never been to before, and are now making this part of a threat; either the countries accept taking third country nationals, or they get banned from visas.

Even in the poorest of the poor countries I have never seen a military parade with commercial sponsorships. The purpose of these events is usually a demonstration of state power. Having it paid for by corporations is next level late stage capitalism.

If Vance Boelter’s resume sounds kind of off, this is because he is trying to spin experience as a missionary into employable skills. “Emotional intelligence” means practice manipulating people to say some religious formula for conversion (or trying unsuccessfully).

WaPo published a jingoistic piece on Trump’s birthday parade and another piece downplaying the NoKings protests. This is state television stuff. Bezos truly destroyed the Washington Post.

Heads-up to any Palestinians in Gaza/anyone talking with them - someone built/is running something that is autodetecting accounts as soon as they are created and following them super-obvious bot nets - I think to get @moderation.bsky.app/ @safety.bsky.app to take out the Palestinians
