What's the way to describe attraction to femininity regardless of gender? That's how I feel, *I THINK* (sexuality is murky, ya know)

Mohamed is one of many friends from Gaza who has persisted in being on Bluesky even as they continue to lock out Palestinian accounts (thanks guys, very cool of you). You can take the farmer off the farm but he's still going to find a way to grow something. Look at his little farm in al-Mawasi?

The real question at this point is just how much the Supreme Court is going to let him get away with. My guess is a fucking lot of what he wants, but by no means all of it.

Chilling read by @okwonga.bsky.social "Far right’s xenophobia is not at the fringes of German society: it can be found in voices at its very centre" www.theguardian.com/world/commen...

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohamed. Mohamed was studying engineering before the war and him and his sister Asmaa (who is studying medicine) have been doing their studies online. He’s the oldest in his family and taking care of everyone including his sister Mayar, 11.

You can now read the article here: www.theguardian.com/world/commen... - if of interest, please share.

TBH gay middle and upper class men have tended to fetishise working mens' workwear. The general thing is that sexuality is normatively constructed as a power relationship in our society.

Not to sound like a horny dawg, but I don't mind adult content, how can I change the settings to show it lmao?

In 2017, centrists and liberals told antifascist activists that the institutions would hold and the State would preserve basic democratic rights. Now the country is being hollowed out by literal billionaires making Hitler salutes. This should be on the cover of every newspaper.

You are witnessing the normalization of fascism right in your face. You are seeing the media’s “unbiasedness” sanitize fascism by giving these people the benefit of the doubt. These are not “Nazi-like”, these are Nazis. Beware the rhinoceros, before it’s too late.

You supply Israel with spyware and infrastructure. Fuck off.

This is a really good book. My favorite part was how it an early chapter showed how the working class was terrorized by the state to be divested of their commons and organization. It shows how capitalism and carcerality developed together as one coherent system.

It's a shame that only now are anglophone anarchists privy to a few of the works of Anselmo Lorenzo. He stood up to the reactionary tendencies of both Bakunin and Kropotkin and should be honored for that. Never too late to catch up tho.

Yeah, I honestly feel so vindicated, this is exactly the same clique of people which keeps litigating random shit and hurting random trans people (women or otherwise) and keeps coming back despite claiming to be harassed off the site forever. This is a pattern, we've been saying it.

Protests and demonstrations are only effective when they constitute a real threat of sustained industrial action, occupation of public space, construction of material resistance, i.e. when they represent the flexing power of the workers to stop the generation and flow of surplus value to capital.

If you know, you know: Faramir is actually remarkably resistant to the Ring in the books when he first meets/interacts with Frodo/Sam/Gollum, whereas in the movies he first wants it for Gondor/to prove his worth to his dad (before realising he shouldn't). In the books, he refuses to take it!

Current football mood: GRIM (it shouldn't be, it's just Everton)

Fucking congrats on driving Talia off this platform, you morons...

BBC pull #Gaza documentary. Utterly collaborationist media.

I don't know how much of that is because my own activity/presence here is inconsistent (I'm not as active as I used to be), but I'm barely getting any interactions/engagement on a day-to-day basis. What I enjoy is talking with likeminded folks, but for a while there's little of it honestly🙃🤔

Am trying to think of what a realistic model for tech hegemony divestment would look like. It's pretty standard for people to just talk about DIY infrastructure and "federation" as if these are panacea while ignoring the economic side of the model. Who runs and pays for these systems?

Poor people in other countries aren't to blame for war, rising inflation, rent + inequality, an escalating ecological crisis fueled by capitalism + rising authoritarianism. We all share a common enemy: the billionaires and their fascist puppets attempting to turn us against each other.

One of my favorite stories about/from US history is that New York pigs were a class issue/struggle/conflict for a long time. Amazing stuff. African and Irish-American women literally rioted and freed their pigs when the elite tried taking them of the streets. Pigs were the only sanitation system lol

It's really sad how no amount of being right saves any amount of lives when powerful people really want death.

Listen when we say that Trump views himself as a literal God-king we are not being metaphorical www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

My lotr fan/nerd heart dies every time I hear about a new Sillicon Valley fascist billionaire using Tolkien's lore for their shit companies Really, Sillicon Valley and its fascists are reason enough to burn the USA down to the ground (and instead give the land back to Indigenous communities)

Treated like criminals, deprived of lawyers and translators, imprisoned and prevented from even going outside, no ability to claim asylum, and being pressured to return to the places they escaped from www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
