Comics should come with the downloadable equivalent of closed captions — not an audiobook novelisation — so visually impaired people can enjoy them.

Policemen punching women in the face is wrong. Yet it happens repeatedly in Germany now.

Germany has turned a very bad corner in its blind determination to back Israel up to and including genocide.

We ignore that fact at our peril.

Gaza Palestinians not Gazans. West Bank Palestinians not West Bankers. Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, not Israeli Arabs.

Decolonize your language.

What an offensive statement from so-called historians. There have been others who have been chased out of the country. Mohamed Abdou was deported for his teaching about Gaza…and he was a prof AT COLUMBIA! But he was queer, Muslim, brown & untenured. Do only white straight tenured profs get sympathy?

God it's so gross hearing reporters talk about Israeli "hostages" but then refer to Palestinian "prisoners held without charge" like what's the material difference between these two categories?

I have about half a box of this left if you’re sold by Lesly’s lovely comments about STARCROSSED!

Lesly Julien @leswrite.bsky.social · 1d

Starcrossed is another great one shot tale by @fraserc69.bsky.social idk how you do it but I'm envious. particularly enjoyable payoff @alfiegallagher.bsky.social such a good looking book: emotional expression, scale of some scenes, swordfighting, cool ass magic and memorable characters.

Starcrossed. Epic cover with main villain in the background. Two protagonists back to back holding swords. Flanking them are characters in red( left) and yellow (right)

This really highlights how negotiations between Israel and Palestine are negotiations between an occupier and an occupied people.

"Until now, public knowledge about the relationship between Reform U.K. and the A.D.F. was limited to a single quote Mr. Farage gave to the group, which they pushed out in a press statement. But the A.D.F. has quietly been courting the party since at least 2024."
