Israel is bombing southern Lebanon again

This is what the Israelis call ceasefire: you cease, we fire
there is a single item on the menu with two chili peppers next to the name and I don't feel intrepid enough to try it
I'm going so often to the same shaanxi restaurant after pottery classes that the guy remembers what I ordered and gives me suggestions about things to try out 😭 all good suggestions tbh, but FUCK ME they make the spiciest majiang liangpi I've eaten in my life I couldn't feel my EYES.
I'd like to compliment myself about how I'm acing my arachnophobia management, I had a spider on my leg and I just calmly watched it stroll down my jeans until it left. without screaming or crying. that's progress!

Starting to think they are specifically going after porn/erotica/nudey doodles because that's competition. Like walmart driving little mom and pop shops out of business.

"Well, there's no porn in my neighborhood, so I guess I have to drive all the way over to chaptgpt just to get one off." 🙄

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.

🚨 In blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, Israel has announced it will slash agreed aid shipments in half and keep the Rafah crossing closed, after Hamas returned four of the 28 bodies of Israeli captives believed to be in Gaza.

Hamas officials had repeatedly told mediators — and said in interviews with Drop Site since early October — that it would be “impossible” to locate and transfer all Israeli bodies within 72 hours of a ceasefire, given the scale of destruction. The ceasefire’s humanitarian protocol explicitly established a joint operations room — including Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, the U.S., Israel, and Hamas — to manage such complications, with Hamas required to submit all information it holds on living and deceased captives.

PIJ deputy leader Mohammed al-Hindi, in an interview on October 1 with Al Araby, said: “They demand the handover of [Israeli] prisoners in 72 hours. But even if they were all together in one house, or even buried in one grave, it would be impossible to hand them over in 72 hours. The situation is complicated, and everyone — Israel, America, and the mediators — knows it is complicated.”
According to Reuters who cited three Israeli officials, the Rafah crossing will remain closed through Wednesday, and aid deliveries will be sharply reduced. And Israeli outlets are claiming Hamas violated the deal, with Channel 12 citing an official alleging Hamas is “in severe breach” by not releasing more bodies. Egypt has reportedly deployed teams in Gaza to help locate them.

In a formal COGAT communication, Israel tied humanitarian aid directly to the return of bodies — a move amounting to collective punishment of a famine-stricken population:

“Yesterday, Hamas violated the agreement… As a result, political leadership has decided to impose a number of sanctions related to the humanitarian agreement. Starting tomorrow, only half of the agreed number of trucks — 300 — will be allowed to enter, all belonging to the UN and humanitarian NGOs. No fuel or gas will be allowed into the Strip, except for limited humanitarian needs.”

Senior Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzouk told Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill last week that a prisoner exchange “would be impossible” while Israeli forces remain in Gaza’s population centers: “We don’t know exactly where the prisoners are. Even the negotiators don’t know their locations. There cannot be an exchange if Israeli forces remain.”

Marzouk warned that Israel’s refusal to withdraw proves it “does not want Trump’s ceasefire plan to be implemented.” 

As early as October 3, when Hamas first delivered its response to Trump’s plan, Marzouk said on television that locating remains “would take months” after Israel destroyed and blocked off delivery of desperately needed heavy machinery. It would be “impossible” in 72 hours.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

The thing about claiming ignorance about Rowling's transphobia prior to signing on to work on a Harry Potter project.

Say I believe you didn't know (and for the record, I fucking don't. It's pretty much all she talks about now)

Well, now you DO know.

STOP using Spotify.
Here's some other great reasons:
*the CEO invested in AI military drones
*pushing genAI songs they themselves created/ripping off human creators
*funding Joe Rogan's podcast with big bucks
*paying the lowest streaming royalties to artists of any music platform.
Spotify has reportedly been running ICE recruitment advertisements in the US.

If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.

The whole world is chained by silence, fear, and complicity. Yet in Gaza — under bombs, siege, and genocide — people still rise, resist, and live free. Gaza is not occupied in spirit, Gaza is freedom itself
