And again, this “ceasefire” demonstrates at every opportunity that Israel is not acting in good faith.

Israeli officials say the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt will remain closed, blocking the flow of desperately needed aid into the enclave, despite the ceasefire.

Air traffic controllers, bus drivers, all with cognitive impairments they aren't even aware of. I am never going to stop warning people. Those of us who are aware, we are never going to stop warning people. At this point, ignorance is a willful choice to preserve a delusion.

the lack of masking has i think been a subtle but important factor in my feeling of dread and growing madness for the last few years

its an impossible to ignore proof of how the majority of ppl operate purely on vibes, peer pressure, and what they've been told

leaves me feeling hopeless

I've seen a bunch of people saying some variation of "fanfic sucks" as their "unhinged opinion" & like... just say you hate folk art & the idea that untrained people can make things just for the sake of making them & the love of the game & then give those things out for free. Just say you hate when

Just saw 2 Palestinian accounts vanish right after asking me for help--one a mother grieving her baby daughter who just died of starvation, another begging for help to keep her little sick, starving baby daughter alive. I cannot say what I think of Bluesky admin.

Glad you weren't living through the AIDS height. I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Safe Sex and neither are most people. This is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous.

My ancestors were almost wiped out by colonizers and their smallpox so you'll have to excuse me if I don't consider you a leftist if you refuse to mask. I'm not letting this generation of colonizers kill me because they don't understand basic science.

A post from @joadsprocket.bsky.social that reads "I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Masking and neither are most people. This ask is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous." The post is quoting a blocked post by @chantzy.bsky.social which reads "Dear liberals, if you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It's one small act of solidarity with millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health"

The second post by @joadsprocket.bsky.social reads "Also a fine example of 'anyone not doing what I want them to is a Liberal."

The third post by @joadsprocket.bsky.social is a screenshot of the original chantzy.bsky.social post with the caption "ope"

This is why as a leftist I can’t support the existence of the current system in any way, including Democrats

This system keeps the 🪟 of possible change v narrow. In a sense, the Dems as a party are a controlled opposition. This is why you see them shifting to the right instead of fighting back atm

masking is not an unreasonable ask. it’s extremely selfish and just nonsensical. covid is disabling and deadly. how many infections do you think you can survive without triggering symptoms that steal away any quality of life you may have had? how many of your loved ones? why don’t you care?

The Sobibor uprising was a revolt of about 600 prisoners that occurred on 14 October 1943, during World War II and the Holocaust at the Sobibor extermination camp in occupied Poland. It was the second uprising in an extermination camp, killing the SS commander of the camp

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.
