I need you all to remember this as well...that bluesky actively assisted in ethnically cleansing Palestinians

Indrapramit Das @indrapramitdas.bsky.social · 1h

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.

anything helps.

need 750 to cover rent alone. i can cover gas/food at least. anything extra goes towards my cat (molly 🍓)

an orange cat with a death grip on her strawberry. her attention caught by something else.

orange cat again for mutual aid boosts. she is looking menacingly at a felt fruit.

molly, an orange cat for mutual aid boosting, looking at her caretaker (me) as i reach to play with her. she has murder in her eyes and love in her heart.

at last, the beast rests, having conquered the fuzzy fruit. an orange cat naps peacefully. she is my babygirl

No ceasefire is ever a ceasefire when you're dealing with a genocidal occupying state with the support of the world's powers.

They did this to my father in 1970.
He wasn't even allowed to say goodbye to his mother. 55 years later, same abuse and injustice.

So since we're almost finished with it, or rather my collaborator is, I wrote a story that is illustrated by the amazing @hokaguteatime.bsky.social

It's almost done, so I can't give a date. But it will be soon.

Fact checking and issuing corrections only work if the person you're talking to gives a shit about facts.

It's the age of disinformation, the age of the influencer. The only way to break the veneer of these cult leaders is to show that no one needs to respect them.

Interrupt. Dismiss. Be rude.

I keep saying we need to bring back the milkshake. See how much more effective humiliation is than reason against this cult mentality.

It's only upholding social norms which got us into this mess. Be rude. Fuck civility. Fuck "when they go low, we go high"

When they go low, milkshake them & laugh.

Big thanks to @clementinedanger.bsky.social. We were discussing about making a zine on a particular subject, and I wouldn't have made this or gotten the idea without you.

Jerna Van Vooren @jernacious.itch.io · 1d

I thought to post a PDF on my itch-store. But since a lot of the art is traced and I use a lot of pictures, I've decided to only post it on my social media.

Jerna Van Vooren @jernacious.itch.io · 1d

Don't worry. I also made an English version.

But I'm not going to explain the context.
