It is also a good day to reinstate Link’s account.

Please share, 24 hours left ⚠️ I often parrot “bet on life” from Samidoun’s special report about resistance in Jenin camp. Because mutual aid is existential: every alleviation matters. Every act of support is faith in Palestinian life.

Six families, food & shelter. 0/640: chuffed.org/project/hope...

A square white graphic. On the left is a stylized ink illustration of a kestrel falcon in black on white, without outline just the black marks on its wings and face, drawn from behind. His wings are partly open and his head is turned to the right. In his beak is an anemone poppy in red ink with a green stem. On the right is the title "Keep hope alive: a gaza giving circle" in ink-effect font. The text says "We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We distribute your contributions equally every week for sustainable support." In the bottom right corner in green text is the link https://tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCircle.

A formline design where the base shape is the mask of Hornet from Hollow Knight. Inside the mask is the formline designs- the torso of a spider across the lower face area, clutching an egg with infection droplets trailing down beneath the eyes. On the mask's left horn is a butterfly trailing upwards, with a chrysalis at the tip. On the mask's right horn is a hornet trailing upwards, with a larvae at the tip. The mask is off-white/pale yellow, and the formline designs range in shades from a light orange at the bottom, to a pale to dark salmon in the middle, to a bright red at the top.

You can talk (and should) about all the issues with poor white people voting against their own interests without reveling in glee when poor people in general are harmed.

And sure there are poor white people who vote Trump and will be hurt by it. But being smug and mean about it seems counterproductive especially when it has the added impact of being smug and mean about people who did not do this.

Only 41.5% of Alabama registered voters voted. When you factor in people who can’t register because of age, citizenship status and voter suppression- it means that of the approximately 5.1 million citizens or Alabama only about 28% of them voted for Trump.

Wanna know what kills me?

American racism is so strong and pervasive that it caused a FRENCH studio to shutter a game w/ what wouldve been a black protagonist dealing w/ themes that they've previously addressed. That's wild.

Would it have been handled well? We'll never know but thats not the point

If we're talking about the greatest living lyricists, it's worth remembering that Wu-Tang Clan's discography uses a larger vocabulary than Shakespeare, so GZA has to be on that list.

www.pbs.org/newshour/art...

Shakespeare loses to the Wu-Tang Clan in vocabulary duel

“To be, or not to be” could have been the perfect start to a rap song. Some have even called Shakespeare the original rapper, his use of iambic pentameter the first dropped beat. So, it seems fitting...
