The genocide in Gaza never stopped.

Palestinians deserve justice and safety.

My friend Majd is seeking support so he can eat. It’s been days since his last meal. If you can help, please donate and/or share. chuffed.org/project/1220...

Message from Majd over Instagram: Hello my friend, I really need your help. The war has returned and the crossings have been closed for 20 days. I need money to buy food. I haven’t eaten for two days. The situation is very difficult here. You always stand by my side. Please don’t leave me.

Idk what kind of upheaval we need for NJ Transit, but I need them to stop hiring assholes.

Something about strangers needing to discipline a wild child of another docile ass guardian on a train at midnight is very New York.

Nothing more haunting than walking into a Caribbean person’s home and realizing you had to take your shoes off at the door.

A UPS driver yelled out “the fit is fitting!!” while I was waiting for the bus. Now I’m feeling myself.

I love Black people.

If you can teach yourself 3D modeling, graphic design, and sketching, it’s not too much to go the extra step to learn how to do the thing you’re selling to people.

All that to say is that now I’m meticulously going through my Etsy list to see how much AI Generated or Assisted work has made it to my list.

Unfortunately, it’s one too many.

Ol’ boy at the center of the AI art feature at Culture Con decided to clear the air by creating a video about how he uses graphic design to come up with a concept but uses AI to fully complete the image (because he doesn’t fully blend, paint, or anything). Not sure if that helps.

Maybe I’m emotional, maybe session 428 of @therapyforblackgirls.com’s podcast hit a lil too close and I feel seen 🥲

“As soon as a ceasefire deal is signed, nobody bothers with the details. Gaza disappears, and it’s back to this slow, latent, invisible violence of starvation and engaging people in a permanent state of nonlife,” says Muhammad Shehada, a writer and analyst from Gaza.

The Gaza Ceasefire Deal Is Not a Peace Agreement. What Will Happen Next?

Palestinian and Israeli analysts weigh in on how to interpret the hostage-ceasefire deal.

Much like bsky, there’s such a performativeness that thrives in Spill’s atmosphere. It’s a little exhausting that there are so many digital spaces where users are trying to immediately replicate (yet “resist”) what took YEARS to develop on FKA Twitter.

Maybe starting laundry close to midnight wasn’t a good idea.

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

Soyweiser @soyweiser.bsky.social · 3d

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

my therapist told me I was right, so clearly I don’t need any more appointments.

If folk want a clean break, I’m legit the best person to tell because I just need to know the boundaries of a relationship and I’m good.

Now, has this been historically true for romantic relationships? No. But my exes and I went through some things…

And who did the nazzis take cues from to organize this dual state?🤔

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 4d

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

I tend to take people so seriously when they say “no love lost” or that there’s an amicable end to things that isn’t really an end, but that’s literally never what they mean? Like… there’s some love lost here…

All this dystopian media over the years and we’re still striving for it to be our every day for some reason.

This work - to meet people's urgent needs, to end the occupation and to demand human rights for all people - began decades ago. And it will continue, together with our partners and with human rights defenders worldwide.

And that’s still a good reason, because why the hell not?

I’m hella excited to host a Black movie night with my friends next weekend. (I’ve never seen “Black Dynamite” so I’m making it everyone’s problem)

Physical media only!

What would be your goto movie?

Flier reads: Black Movie Night, Main feature Black Dynamite featuring cover art of Michael Jai White

You are absolutely not alone bc wtf is that space????

NuuYawkerr @nuuyawkerr.bsky.social · 5d

Love how advice to achieve fulfillment seems to solely be “build your brand” or “create content.”

Can there be anything that isn’t productivity-driven, or something I won’t see in back-to-back LinkedIn posts? Are we okay?
