I'm attending an @indivisible.org meeting on zoom, and I had a really great idea: Creators Indivisible group. Artists creating and sharing content with a weekly prompt, focusing on different topics every week and flooding social media with the topic and sharing each other's posts. Who want in?

With all the crazy news stories, I'm not sure my American friends even heard about this, and I wanted to explain why this is important: 1) this did not happened in Gaza or the West Bank. This happened in East Jerusalem. Meaning those are Israeli citizens. 2) these books are sold elsewhere...

There have been some truly awful and egregious headlines on Gaza in the New York Times over the past 16 months but we may have a winner, folks. ‘Gaza Development Plan’

1/4 This is what war on Palestinian identity looks like. On Sunday, Israeli police raided the Educational Bookshop in East Jerusalem, an iconic bookstore and cultural hub that sells books on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the history of Jerusalem, run by Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna.

Frankly it’s embarrassing how much George Orwell’s “1984” gets wrong about 1984. The publisher should update it to be more accurate, e.g. “Winston heard ‘Eat It’ by Weird Al Yankovic playing on the radio. ‘I’d hate to be Michael Jackson right now!’ he said to Big Brother”

Trump is using Fentanyl as a reason for the increasing Tariffs on China and Mexico. But Fentanyl getting to the USA is already in decline since Biden cut a deal with President Xi and due to Kamala's work in S. America. In a couple of month, he'll claim it's the tariffs that did that.

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

Interesting conversation with @nedr.bsky.social reminded me of something I did years back to avoid mindless scrolling and the numbing effect of Social Media. Spend as much time as I want on SM, BUT comment a full sentence on every single post. It cut my usage and made it more meaningful.

We were listening to @maddow.msnbc.com show after not listening to any news for a while. Ned was spiraling down the autocracy scenarios, and felt very helpless, so we talked about it. I think it's really important to learn to differentiate between what's just talk and is scary and what is action 1/?
