I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

If empathy and simple decency won’t suffice to end the catastrophic madness that Israel is visiting on Gazans, hopefully self-interest can be mobilized by these well-documented revelations! As a Jewish American with cousins living in Israel, I’m devastated by this scheerpost.com/2025/04/25/w...

I love him I must marry him.

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

pretty astonishing demonstration of walter benjamin's argument about fascism as the aestheticization of politics

In March 1965, Viola Liuzzo traveled from Detroit to Alabama to assist with the Selma to Montgomery March. On this night 60 years ago, as she shuttled marchers to and from Selma, Liuzzo was brutally shot and killed by the KKK. We remember her immense sacrifice today. #womenshistorymonth

Not a single sip of water or bite of food has reached two million Gazans for 24 days. We are now experiencing a true famine before your eyes. What awaits this world? @mommunism.bsky.social

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
