this was unspeakably difficult for mohamed to post. he is perishing of shame
but he has 12 people to feed; 7 kids to clothe for winter; 6 school fees; and, god willing, another tin house for warmth & safety
the blockade cost him everything, and he still raised $1k for his cousin

if anyone's read israel on the brink yet, in chapter 2, part VII, is pappé doing ottoman-and-turkish genocide denial? i know my brain is real fucked up but he skips some … key years when discussing the mashreq, and it makes me sick

(not sure why he erases secular armenian palestinians, either.)
November 25, 2025 at 1:13 PM
me, browsing etsy for art of the places in armenia we know my stepson’s great-grandparents fled: “‘Lake Van, TURKEY?’ and is that AI?”

me, reading etsy’s ToS: you can use AI if you admit it? gross.

me, escalating: writing a complaint about how that hideous “painting” constitutes genocide erasure
November 23, 2025 at 8:08 PM
a reminder that elie ”liar” wiesel wasn’t the only israeli to deny the armenian genocide. rot in hell.

mahmoud darwish, however, made common cause with armenians; i’d love to see more examples of his poem “who remembers the armenians” and sophia armen’s “reply” to it between other genocide victims

it’s no longer (EST) my 43rd birthday; the best i could do this year was give @abdullahs-dad.bsky.social a little extra with his chuffed payout bit.ly/help-mohamed

forty-three! quel grand âge

everyone needs so much and life here is getting so expensive. où sont les amis riches d’antan?

do zionists
not understand irony?

or is it especially the australians, who’ve worked so hard on righting the many wrongs of their settler-colonial past—except for the No. 1 demand of the tent embassy, you know: TREATY.

anyway here’s ScoMo doing ultimate irony

i’ve really needed to just not see my tl. i’m furious about the suspensions, and tbh it’s easier to work privately than post & cry.

still. @abdullahs-dad.bsky.social’s really struggling to prep for winter. the siege wiped him out & the arbitrary aid cuts make budgeting a joke. bit.ly/help-mohamed

1 Nov. woud've been jenny's 10th birthday. no 9/11 song because that's for 9/11. my girl

instead, here's excerpt from Perfect Victims (READ IT), which manages to be an object lesson on recontextualizing (…decolonizing?) your response to hasbara, and make some dark jokes. (sorry the subs are janky.)

why am i so tired all the time?!

early SAD?
increaiing the the "forget everything, fall asleep six times a day" medication?
burnout?

i've made so many commitments, and i don't make promises lightly, so there's no room for burning out.
counterpoint: it's taken me over an hour to write this post.
October 29, 2025 at 2:42 AM
if bsky zaps it, i have the original to repost; it's too important to disappear.

the iof must leave gaza or mohamed will never know the state of his famiy's land. it's "a trust that must not be squandered," and he's a fine steward of his patch of dunes.

this should be interesting.
i wonder how the treatment of political prisoners has changed since, for example, the IRA's dirty protest, or the price sisters forever ruining their digestive systems through forced refeediing;
This week’s GW guest is Eric King, an expert on anti-fascist action — and what it means to be a political prisoner

Eric served 10 years in a 6x9 cell in federal prison for throwing a Molotov at an *empty* Congressional building.

the head of trust and safety doesn't even follow TOS himself — when was the last time anyone appealed anything and got a reply?

is it an unwritten term of service not to reply to an appeal?

or does the entire trust & safety team regularly break TOS while enforcing them for users?
Looks ugly.

within carceral settings, the violence of the carceral state is boiled down to its worst impulses like fucking bouillon

Final hour ⚠️ Support for survival funds is waning, but yall it is not superficial: it means a bite to eat during ONGOING famine; blankets and new tents ahead of winter, which last year killed dozens of children, as everyone remains displaced; and so much else.

when exactly did the nobel peace prize deserve any respect? another rich old sicko buying his soul back through bourgeois prizes? fuck off.

how many war criminals, human rights abusers, genocide deniers* have been honored with a “torchlight procession” over the decades?

@abdullahs-dad.bsky.social says soldiers been painting a yellow line and putting up barriers. yesterday we “joked” that gaza is the new berlin 1945, only the nazis are splitting up the territory. ha. ha.

i heard these two perform small curses on those who won't make an effort—"effort" being relative (to a degree…)

i heard the sheep's great size is a metaphor for your ability to help more people than you think, while the falcon's bright eye seeks comrades

ugh, since i'm Reading Less News, i missed that rafah now media posted the top-scoring high school students from rafah with pre-genocide(?) photos of them looking like regular young men
hypothesis: the uncolonized mind takes pride in students' academic achievements amid a genocide
proof: these posts
