All of the bodies arrived at the facility with their hands and legs cuffed, the hospital said.
The remains were being held in refrigerators in Israel and came with numbers marking them, rather than names, according to the hospital.
"Some are blindfolded, and there are signs of gunshot wounds in some cases, while others have been run over by tanks," Nasser hospital said.

If your descendants view you as a hero, as an impossible ideal to live up to, that means society has gone backwards.

That John Brown is still an aspirational goal and not the reality for most of us white people is an indictment, not praise.

People don’t understand that even if things changed tomorrow, so much has been done that it will take decades to repair.

People are gonna focus on the ceasefire and completely forget that Gazans have been under famine for so long that it’s going to destroy their health and even negatively affect their descendants through epigenetics.

We cannot stop pushing for a true end to the genocide.

a.) we were taught to beware and be careful (by people who now ironically trust everything they read online),

and b.) before it was as deeply monetized by corporations and venture capital. This, IMO is the biggest reason of all.

I really disagree that it’s because it was a separate space. I think that that erases the way it was a lifeline for so many of us queer kids in small towns.

Instead I actually think that it’s because /1

Just remember- the people in blow up animal costumes? They’re engaging in the same tactic that this was.

Mastodon is such a mess, man. It’s like handing a weekend garage band guitarist a mini Moog and expecting him to know exactly what to do to make a song.

Like yeah? If he spends three days reading the manual he might be able to get some bleep bloops out of it but he’d rather be playing CCR.

I feel like the bar for work is lower for catholic clergy, y’know? Like don’t get me wrong the Quakers are already out there banging pots and standing on business but my expectations for Catholics is not high.
