IDF is still shooting people in Gaza

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 2h

I feel thrown by the widespread proclamations of a glorious, lasting peace in Gaza. A lot even treats “now that it’s all over” as the unquestioned premise.

It still looks like a disaster to me. Am I way off? Are my domestic politics distorting my view? Either the consensus is wrong or I am.

If there’s still a trace of humanity left, please don’t turn away. 💔
I want to return north to where our home stood, but we have no shelter.
I need $700 to buy a tent, a place for my children to sleep safely when we go back.
Your help can bring us closer to home and hope again.🙏

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

I'm out of seizure meds and not having a great time. And I need physical therapy at end of week for the janked shoulder (which isn't even part of the goal). I truly could use a big spree of boosts on this.

Rogers Park and surrounding neighborhoods were hit hard by immigration enforcement activity over the weekend.

There's no competition here, but I want to name that the same heavy, violent, fast-moving abduction pattern has invaded the southwest side about three times a week for over a month now.

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Today, for my 31 Days of Making challenge, I wrote a poem for the first time in what feels like ages. It's not perfect, but it feels good to have written it. At the end, I talk a little about creative practice and, even if not posting every day, finding ways to make sure i still create consistently.

Hey so. I just moved. The security deposit & first rent drained me completely. I can't afford to buy groceries.

The goal is least $80, it'd get me some of the basic stuff I'm missing, plus maybe a few things the apartment needs.

Thanks in advance. ko-fi.com/scarletinsil...
