Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through.
No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened.
But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this.
Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

!["[South Asian + Southwest Asian Features] Please note this is not a comprehensive list! but rather a compilation of what I have observed while drawing and within my own family. I am punjabi, most punjabi people are from north India + Pakistan and so they have both South Asian and Southwest Asian features. Because of this, we can look very diverse! (the image shows two faces with varying features and a check mark next to both) Both arew punjabi. The left has more southwest asian features while the right has more south asian features.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f764ma2kafhncq6yhmkxmhs4/bafkreicr2jm6vjtgz6lhujiowbwhgj3ovphsahithl67qgjvpczwvyoq7u@jpeg)
![[Deep-set eyes] (The image shows a set of eyes, one with double lids and one with triple lids. An arrow points to the triple lid.) I have this one. Many SA + SWA people have naturally deep-set eyes. This results in very prominent eyelid creases above AND below. Deep set eyes are also called "hooded eyes" because the upper skin tends to droop down over this space. (A comparison drawing is shown of a face in side profile with shallow set and deep set eyes. Another diagram shows the eyeball in the socket and the skin around it with the fatty upper eye area puffing out slightly.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f764ma2kafhncq6yhmkxmhs4/bafkreidcpty7iid3t6gcklt6log2jrx7m5zpdwdh3ci32n2r7xixstmijq@jpeg)
![[hyperpigmentation] Hyperpigmentation is when areas of skin are darker than the rest. Many SA + SWA people experience this, those with light AND dark skin, especially around the eyes in the form of dark circles. (An illustration shows eyes with and without hyperpigmentation.) Because many people already have deep set eyes that are shadowed, the result often makes the surrounding eye area quite dark. A lot of comments about if I sleep enough or that my stare can be a little scary or just a bit intense. (A diagram shows eyes labelled "bare" and "applied", one without any makeup and the right with black makeup in the waterline.) Traditionally wear black eyeliner (surma/kajal/kohl) for special occasions or as a medicine.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f764ma2kafhncq6yhmkxmhs4/bafkreid36hnnc4ygfemv32nn32j6d4daefnyshgsg2wu6m5l4xpm7oct6q@jpeg)

Seeing the fishermen on the shores getting fish for the first time in so long and thinking of my grandfather, who shares their faces; their home.
Our joy has been muted for so long, but love has won even when it was thought to have lost. Love reached the shores; can you hear our joys?

The theme of the lessening of the world, which was present in so much of Tolkien's world, is in congruence with fascism. This is heartily unpacked with tales of earthsea- the old is patriarchal, rigid, mythical, but it is not immovable as much as it presents itself to be

The thing with art is - and this goes for every art form - you've gotta be willing to screw up. You have to be okay with the idea that you spend hours & hours on something...and it sucks, or breaks before you're done.
You need to let go of pride.
A lot of folks are not prepared to let go of pride.

Bluesky is one of the most organised social media I have seen start off as such. It was very quick tagging, blocking, filtering, & user based-control was added.
