The face of a rescue cat who is loved so much she’s forgotten the time when she wasn’t.

The Bluesky mod took down/ flagged all of these family members' accounts I verified the Al Turk family, & they were also verified by Molly Shah, Olive Girl & Gaza Vetters by showing them IDs Their survival depends on donations, pls keep helping 🖇 Paypal: tiny.cc/hbcuzz 🖇 GFM: gofund.me/54db81e4

This is good. We can all do some of this. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My friend, the doctor, says right now everyone is getting sick. My friend, the teacher, says right now everyone is using AI. My friend, the activist, says right now everyone is giving up. My friends, oh my friends, right now we must not be everyone.

That line from Keats— ”The point of diving into a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore, but to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water“ — goes round in my head when I read about the latest ways in which people are ceding the pleasure of reading & thought to AI. Be in the lake!

This is what is grinding me into such a paste. Learning, thinking, processing ideas, solving problems, and making connections are the absolute best thing about being homo sapiens. They are destroying the literal joy and purpose of being human.

🇵🇸🇵🇸Trees inside Gaza, despite the destruction, still enjoy a beautiful life. 🍉

Food, water, shelter, heat, power, medicine, education, internet. These 8 things, in a world of such abundance, should be unconditionally available to all. Everyone is just trying to exist as they are and live as they choose. Respect everyone but the bigots.

Tiny part.

love this clip of Leen that @abodhajaj.bsky.social sent me 🥰 her arms are too thin, and her face is pale from hunger, but she's cheerful as ever ❤️❤️❤️ this sweet girl and her parents are so hungry - please donate or RT - would love to get their fundraiser some momentum! chuffed.org/project/help...

I have a crazy idea what if we abolish private property and wage labor so certain people can’t be vastly more more wealthy than other people through economic exploitation and then buy power with that money to influence politics and the media

WEARING BLACK TO THE PRIDE PARADE! A-C-A-B but the GAYS are O.K.! Video is live now! Directed by Emily Esperanza youtu.be/ohBymqYJ2pk?...

we need to increase immigration. we have not replaced enough white people yet

@mommunism.bsky.social A message from Yasemin Acar,activist kidnapped by Israel aboard the Madleen humanitarian ship, delivered by her brother,where she highlights the forced Israeli starvation & genocide of us. We're starving! Help my family please and save my kids souls.🙏🥹 gofund.me/da0fcb3b

The thing about human rights is that they belong to every single human being unconditionally

ridiculous

Greta Thunberg, arriving back in Europe after her abduction by Israel in international waters, explains in 40 seconds why western governments are colluding in genocide:

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

I have no problem saying that Greta Thunberg is braver than I’ll ever be. Admit it instead of deepening your cowardice and insisting that she’s done something selfish when she’s done something truly selfless.

The Crow

It's hard to put into words the anxiety folks are feeling. As an appreciation for everyone pushing through it, and many of us doing as much as we can, some more than anyone should have to, here's a bluesky exclusive of killdeer chicks seeking safe harbor under their parent. #birds 🐣

Seems strange, sometimes: the sun rising outside my window, the same as it does every day, the trees continuing to slowly shift with the seasons, and we all go to work like nothing is happening. And here, these constant, tiny snapshots of horrors, one after another, faster and faster and faster...

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

cats don't obey in advance and no one else should, either

Enough doomscrolling! Let's go MOOMscrolling!
