Hi, everyone! My name is Stevonnie. I like breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide as part of a mixture of gases consisting primarily of nitrogen. I hope that this is a social media platform where it's safe to voice such controversial opinions.

Statement on Recent Ceasefire and Hostage Release
Light green lines on the top and bottom of a navy page with a white logo that reads “Ruwa” peach on top, and for Georgia on bottom. Under it the date in white “October 14, 3025” and a peach header that reads “Statement on Recent Ceasefire and Hostage Release” Statement text in white reads: For 2 years, so many of us did all that we could to end the genocide in Gaza. Yesterday, after holding our breath in anticipation and hope that a ceasefire deal would be reached, we saw Israeli and Palestinian hostages being reunited with their loved ones. But let us be clear, this ceasefire does not mark the end, but the beginning of the arduous but necessary work ahead. We are already seeing violations of the ceasefire and Israel is once again preventing the entry of aid. There won’t be true and lasting peace for Palestinians or Israelis without accountability and an end to the abuse and oppression that has persisted for 77 years. Across all of those years, our tax dollars have been used not to fund hospitals and schools right here at home, but to wreak havoc and destruction. And recently, for the last two years, fund this genocide. True and lasting peace for all people only comes when all those who have enabled these atrocities are held to account, the apartheid ends and freedom, safety and dignity are prioritized for all.

Prior to 10/7 the Israeli government held nearly 10,000 Palestinian hostages, and post Israeli hostage release, Israel still hold about 10,000 Palestinian hostages.

Demand their release, end the occupation, confirm Palestinian statehood.

Let there be lasting justice.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The site works as expected for me, fwiw.

Having had similar experiences elsewhere in the past, it sounds to me like an unintended effect of a browser extension. Do you have any that deal with video, perhaps designed to target autoplaying ads? If so, try turning them off and see if it helps.

Window Screen

xkcd.com/3151/
4-panel comic. (1) [person in front of window, shaped like a trapezoid with a curved top] This weekend, I had to make an oversized screen for a porch window. (2) [person sitting with hands on head surrounded by images of assorted equations and measurements] It involved countless tiny problems, each somehow way harder than it should be. Oblique angles. Curved edges. Noncoplanarity. (3) [person in front of window with screen on it, with building detritus strewn on the ground] ...I solved them all. I measured precisely. I did trigonometry. I made custom parts. And it fit *perfectly.* No gaps, no ripples. (4) [person typing at computer] I know that your foundation normally limits its purview to physics, medicine, peace, chemistry, and literature. However, if you review the attached photos showing how well the screen fits into the...

It's a vestige of the years when I was between first names and went by "S.", plus my birthday. I originally kept the handle here because I wanted people from Twitter to be able to find me again. Maybe I'll change it at some point.

Statement on the Two Year Anniversary of October 7 and Ongoing Genocide
Statement on the Two Year Anniversary of October 7 and Ongoing Genocide Rep. Ruwa Romman, Democratic State Representative and candidate for Governor of Georgia issued the following statement on the anniversary of October 7 and ongoing Genocide For two years, we have witnessed atrocities beyond human comprehension. Two years of horrific violence, mass displacement, and incalculable loss. Two years of having to mourn the deaths of men, women, children, and entire families. Two years of families desperate to be reunited with those taken hostage. We remain angry, heartbroken, and once again call on our leaders to bring an end to this destruction that’s killed at least 67,000 Palestinians and more than 1,100 Israelis. Sadly, our leaders continue to fail us. While they trumpet proposals of alleged peace little has changed. Every day this continues, Israel, with our backing and tax dollars, perpetuates more death, destruction, and horror in Gaza. Children are starving. Hostages remain in captivity. Every day that passes isn’t just a policy failure — it furthers one of humanity’s darkest periods in recent memory. Today, we reiterate our calls to stop sending bombs in violation of our laws. We reaffirm the need for leaders to reach a just solution and a lasting peace agreement for all those living in the region. We echo the demands for the release of Israeli and Palestinian hostages. May the children born today grow up without genocide, apartheid, and oppressive cycles that perpetuate more violence. May we all have the courage to end decades of violence and bloodshed that’s claimed so many lives. Together, we can bring an end to this nightmare. ###
