In a world shattered by bombs & fear, Lamar & her mother walked Gaza’s streets in search of stray cats to feed. “When the food ran out, it was unbearable to watch our beloved & beautiful cats weaken & slowly starve, just as the people around us were collapsing from hunger,” writes Lamar Alhuwaiti.

Our love for Gaza’s cats is a light that refuses to go out

During the genocide, my mother and I walked the city’s streets in search of stray cats to feed, these small souls giving us a reason to keep going

sometimes the karaoke spot is too far of a drive from your apartment and you gotta cry about it because of everything in life piling up all at once and one tiny thing sends you into a tail spin

are you ever just minding your business but then you read something like "when was the last time you sang with your friends" and your knee jerk reaction is like thats corny as hell but then five minutes later you are full body sobbing

Ms. Rachel calls out Barack Obama's statement on Gaza, highlighting how referring to 'Israeli families' while calling Palestinians 'the people of Gaza' strips them of their humanity. 'Palestinians have families, too,' she wrote.

a club/bar is a public space, clearing ICE to enter.
HOWEVER: once a ticket, cover or wristband is required for entry, it deems the area PRIVATE, preventing ICE raids indoors. this information is directly from ICIRR. in order to get in to your PRIVATE party, they must have a warrant. ⬇️

Again, I ask, what are we going to do when ICE shows up. Sharing infographics (if even that) only does so much, because it’s not beyond me that most of the shows on the strip have almost all-white audiences, and I don’t trust white gays to do the right thing (clearly). So what are we doing?

Literary analysis, creative writing, art history, anthropology. These disciplines help us understand ourselves both as individuals and in community by connecting us with the world as a whole: it's past, it's present, and our perception of its future.

Only a fascist seeks to diminish these studies.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Someone told me that you can't buy Affinity Publisher/suite right now, and this is their web page.

Affinity Publisher importing IDML but not EXPORTING IDML was always a warning sign to me that they were not committed to the sparkle motion of openness.
