Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

unfortunately my new hyperfixations are fruit riot! sour candy and Marcus

if you were a god/saint/deity, what would you be the god of?

i think i’d be the minor god of bubble baths. leave me an offering of epsom salt and i’ll make sure your bath is at perfect temp every time.

The GOP is willing to let people lose paychecks and starve and panic to keep this list secret. That's the "pro-life" "America first" party for you.

Call your reps. And at their local offices!! ESPECIALLY if you have GOP reps.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 11d

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

it makes me really sad to see ordinary people defending (and worshipping) billionaires.

there are no ethical billionaires! yes, even if they’re a woman! full stop!

Right? The precious humanity in acknowledging and thanking this robot that helped us understand so much about space—it’s just so lovely. Ugh. I’m crying!

You ever think about how NASA, in its farewell to the rover Opportunity, played ”I’ll Be Seeing You” by Billie Holiday in order to “sing her to sleep” in her final moments?

Adding my voice to the chorus: the Sumud flotilla never entered Israeli waters. that is a lie. The Gazan coast is Palestinian territory (not even spiritually, like actually in international law) so the Sumud flotilla has not violated Israeli sovereignty. The Israelis intercepting them however…

If you haven’t been paying attention to the EA takeover because you’re not a gamer, here’s why it should concern you anyway.

2 out of 3 people in the US play video games —and right-wingers are gearing up to control their content.

Their messaging, their propaganda. Coming to a console near you.

there are so many animals that if i got to meet in person, it’d feel like meeting a celebrity. like if i got to see a wild pangolin or a fruit bat, i’d start sobbing

i love copyedits because they remind me that i somehow still haven’t figured out how the passage of time works, as well as basic addition.

once again, i am humbled.
