The goal of Netanyahu (who's held a cabinet position or been PM almost w/o interruption since 1996) & his increasingly extremist governments is & has always been, at the very least, comprehensive ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from Palestine. It became full-blown genocide on Oct 8, 2023. 9/

🧵I'm going to say this carefully -my heart aches for those now mourning -every unnecessary death is a tragedy -what did you expect from ppl at the sharp end of guns & bulldozers? -in early Oct, Israeli military+settlers killed 5 Palestinians in the WBank & 57 in Gaza—why isn't that "breaking news"?

But I need Americans to understand this, bc mostly y'all don't: Bibi is uniquely horrible, in part bc he's a uniquely skilled manipulator of people & politics who has kept his eyes firmly on one goal: Power. But his ouster WILL NOT MEAN AN END TO OCCUPATION, ETHNIC CLEANSING, OR SETTLEMENTS. 13/

Some ground rules that have helped us: - Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels - Don’t underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.) - Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories - Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing - IGNORE THEM

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.

I highly recommend buying men sewing machines. My husband taught himself to use ours during the early days of the pandemic, and now he makes cool custom clothes for our kids.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

“I see the problem.” “Yeah?” “This is Maple Street.” “Isn’t that what it says?” “You want Maple AVENUE.” “Sorry, I’m covering for Dan.” “Is Dan okay?” “Shingles.” “That’s a shame.” “I’m Jill, by the way.” “Where are my manners, I’m Ted.” “Nice to meet you, Ted.” “You too, Jill.”

Anyway they don’t want these dogs for war they want to set them on protesters I hope this helps

Seconding the 'please, if you have room and inclination, adopt' because what if you DO adopt some little creecher and you're like "I have never had a cat before, he is very cute but what do I do with him" and he's like "YOU DO THIS" for a solid month (Photo from July 2022)

We have discovered a planet. It is quite close. There's an animal there that might be related to a panther, except for its loathsome teeth. Can we go one day?

Turning to BlueSky to find a home for 9-month-old kitty, "Shoes", Baltimore/DC area. His rescuers would love to keep him but they and their toddler are all violently allergic; not even meds and air purifiers are helping. But they love Shoes and want him to find a good home. Deets: (1/5)

"I was told," said the princess, "that the point of fairy tales is not to tell children dragons exist, but that they can be killed." "Oh, absolutely!" said the dragon. "You agree?" "These rich, selfish, powerful, cruel beings that need killing, did you think they're literally dragons, princess?"
