I finally wrote up a field report zine about some of my wild experiences in Boyer Chute, which I alluded to a few weeks back in #WUFO

Sadly Bluesky suspended a survivor of genocide a girl whose only crime was trying to save her paralyzed father, a man broken by war and a stroke?
She asked for help, not spam. She wanted a chance to study, to live and they erased her voice.
Please back rubaa.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ruba. Ruba is 23 and has been studying to be a pharmacist. She has been living in tents with her family since this all began and her home was destroyed, this includes her niece Tulin, 8 her nephew, Mohammed, 4 and her father who is ill.

This is truly unacceptable.
Friends, keep amplifying. Sign if you haven't already. We must try everything we can to guarantee digital (and all human) rights for Palestinians.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

"Millions infected in Germany. Flu, cold or corona?"

Germany reports 7.5 million new respiratory illnesses each week.

During Oktoberfest, over 6 million visitors gather in crowded, poorly ventilated tents in Munich—creating ideal conditions for viruses to spread rapidly.

Pretty sure it’s COVID.

This Indigenous Peoples Day please speak up: another typhoon sweeping away homes of Alaska's Natives, who, during settlement (statehood: 1948) were forced to end ways of life (like my Grandma's) involving mobility across regions & stuck them in flood-prone/unstable villages with housing deficits.

Watching Deadliest Catch is like a cold plunge—resets the nervous system. Glad I’m not the only one 😂

There was a massive shift in safety when the derby-style fishery ended in 2005 & they moved to a quota system—it ended the incentive to work ridiculously long shifts.

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 11h

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will be homeless.

I am an Indigenous person that's been through utter hell in the last two years. I am disabled and queer. Despite being marginalized, I'm the one having to carry the burden of finances. It has been extremely difficult.

Anything helps.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day, I’m a Borikén Taíno creative who is the only income and trying to keep a roof over mine and my partner’s heads.

The last almost two years have been extremely difficult, and many Indigenous people like me live below the poverty line.
