Just saw this Arab guy say “wah gwan alaykum” because he found a halal Jamaican restaurant in NYC. This the kinda chaos I enjoy.

Alongside the word of the year we should have “the word that has lost the most of its meaning this year”. I nominate “ceasefire”.

I'm looking for the next writer from Gaza to tell their story, to be published on Feijoa Dispatch and Fightback. We pay NZ$250 (about US$145) and the article can also promote your GoFundMe/Chuffed

My DM's are open so please get in touch

#mahaparinirvandiwas Reminded on his death anniversary today, what a colossus Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar is. Our history, politics, social and legal structures have all felt the impact of his intellect, his personality, and his character. He has no equal.

lots of otherwise smart women really willing to say truly dumb things about gay romance/heated rivalry. like, seriously stop and think about why you would be willing to say as a straight woman that you just really think it's nice to see a sexual relationship between equals. stop telling on yourself!

No, let me be fucking clear. Something ALL of us who run the backend of campaigns know:

Palestinians IN GAZA are the people who are donating to each other’s campaigns, while everyone else looks away. I refuse to say more about this. Just sit with this fact.
Something all of us who run the backend of campaigns know ... it's poor people who give frequently and generously, who make the commitment (even when they shouldn't), who are now impacted even more by US and UK austerity measures... while the wealthy invoke SNAP cuts to explain their own inaction

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

What did y'all think about the ending of Homebound? I really liked the movie, but that little twist at the end was a rather odd choice that raised more questions than it answered, no? It felt just a bit mawkish in an otherwise excellent film imo.. allowance for filmy creative liberties?

Today's activity has been my yearly reminder that 90% of Booktube is white men in black turtlenecks with Serious Opinions on Dostoyevsky and white women in front of aesthetic bookshelves talking about why Colleen Hoover is bad.
