If the Israelis are willing to do this to an incredibly visible white activist who is beloved the world over, you can just begin to imagine the incomprehensible degradations they do behind closed doors against disappeared Palestinians.

Greta Thunberg's story is entirely consistent with the four Australians reported by @deepcutnews.bsky.social.

If the IDF inflicts such deliberate cruelty and degradation on briefly detained foreign nationals, no wonder we are getting such horrifying accounts from recently released Palestinians.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

I can't believe both of these books are coming out in the same year. It's been a mindboggling marathon thus far. I can't wait for you to have THE MOST HOLY DAY in your hands. Both covers by my beautiful, incredible, talented, visionary wife.

I love all of my children equally, but where STILL MY FATHER'S SON is concerned with blades, scalpels, knives, the paring away of identity to reveal what is left behind, TMHDOTTC concerns itself with explosive force: fusion weapons, fists colliding, bursting blood vessels, curses, vengeance.

COMING TO YOU THIS MISCHIEF NIGHT (OCT 30)

THE MOST HOLY DAY OF THE TRANSSEXUAL CALENDAR

<WE WILL NEVER EVER DIE>
<WE WILL NEVER EVER FORGIVE THEM>

Cover for Nora Hikari's second poetry collection, The Most Holy Day Of The Transsexual Calendar. It features a young trans woman tied up and blindfolded, standing ominously in front of a mausoleum, which is overgrown with plantlife.

I think if you’re a man screaming at your wife in public we should be encouraged to stone you in the town square. As reparations. For history.

This is what happens when you offer any quarter to such horrifying, reactionary institutions as the university of Pennsylvania. They begin to exude a corruptive influence on the fabric of reality around them.

The average impcorer will see you walk onto the bus with a cane and then rush ahead of you to take a spot in the disabled seating area. Because they are a fallen people unloved by god and destined to be reviled throughout the eons.

People love to see a 28 year old woman with a cane and not offer her a seat at the bus stop. Like why do you think i have this thing with me? For fun? It’s not to do fuckin steampunk cosplay.

Personally I think it’s based and goated when the people’s republic of china steals schematics for nextgen fighter jets from the US, or when a teenager in Russia makes a phonk track exclusively using unlicensed samples and pirated VSTs. Copyright Paladinism is for petty bourgeois baby bitches.

My biggest fear about the possibility of ever writing good fiction is the horrifying reality that I might therefore garner readers. I have seen few things in my life as terrifyingly, brutally stupid as a fandom’s wrath fueled by cozyvibes political reaction and illiteracy

The thing that rocks about learning a new craft is you get to expand your horizons as a person. The thing that sucks about learning a new craft is that you have to suck at craft again

I think that the men also don’t have body hair afaik and I think this is because, as I said to Hannah, this game is “aesthetically and politically bisexual”

Going to the park dressed to the nines in super baggy clothes and cargo pants but wearing a hatsune miku tshirt and carrying a fuzzy kuromi purse and strutting like it’s a catwalk

Me and this one woman in china on instagram reels are really pioneering in a particular vector space of “faggy butch”

Doing konmari method on my psyche and thanking the parts of me that have kept me safe for years and offering them gratitude before peacefully and gently letting them go into the wind because my context is different and it’s not necessary for me to be adapted to living in a psychic warzone anymore

Most important lesson I’ve ever learned in my life was the capacity to say “worrying about this kind of thing is above my paygrade or above my capacity to influence to any meaningful degree”
