I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer. Morning.

I have started a starter pack... all the posters I could find who are Irish, based in Ireland or posting about Irish stuff. Maybe a vain attempt to recreate some of the buzz of Irish 'other site'. It's not meant to be exclusive! Let me know if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/Mh5ihbM

Last week the Israeli military killed my friend, Dr. Refaat Alareer. But was Refaat was story. Refaat was an idea. Those stories and ideas are now in New York subways, on walls in Malta, in the Seanad in Dublin and all across the world. You can’t kill a story. You can’t kill an idea.

This is heartbreaking. Israel continues to kill thousands of Palestinian civilians, with the backing and support of the US, EU, and UK, and it's getting worse each day. #FuckIsrael #FreePalestine

I'm learning the ropes here. Can you - my respected and small number of followers- share this post so I can get some followers? I am an academic interested in reproductive history + environmental history, museum and archive collections, animals, people, plants & planet. And, who should I follow?

Not many people are aware of the everyday struggles that Palestinians are forced to endure, so I'm writing this thread on their transportation issues dating back many decades. Credit for this thread goes to a Palestinian Twitter user: @s4mir95 I’m sharing it here.

A thought on journalists documenting conflict: I spent years of my life forensically documenting conflict; huge amounts of videos and images. My heart sinks when I see new conflict. To professionals who must document this round of conflict: Persevere. Document. Report. Victims have no voice.

We got sedatives from our vet and started giving them to Holly last night. She was still upset with the fireworks but not as distressed. It's gonna be a long few days.
