I was out of Israeli prison in five days. They’ve been holding Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for nearly a year without charge, along with thousands more Palestinians. A ceasefire without an end to occupation and accountability for Israel will just be a slower continuation of the genocide

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Except the DJ fucked up and played to original version rather than the remix so the entire crowd was ready to scream "B-O-O-S-I-E" and we just got a Foxx verse that nobody ever cared about, even in south Louisiana. It was the greatest DJ fail I've ever experienced irl.

My favorite Boosie related wedding story is October 2019, the last wedding I attended in the before times, and the photographer caught this moment of me, my best friend and the groom right before Boosie's verse on "Wipe Me Down" dropped

When your friend is DJing a wedding and hops in the group chat to talk about the conflict between the Boosie whites and the Chappelle Roan whites and you have to respond with "I am both whites" cos the other two whites in the chat are neither so represent.

Part of me leans toward you possibly being some astroturf angry neolib, vote blue white lady account, but if you're an actual real human who wants to educate themselves to be a better community member, my book list offer still stands.

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 8h

I genuinely can't tell if you're just racist or are also so delusional that you live in a bubble where other white folks who do real life organizing work and education wouldn't find your attacks odious and ignorant and would therefore step in to check your ass.

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 8h

I don't think you understand what dogwhistle means, boo. Additionally, white women, including myself, critique white feminism on the regular so please let your pearls go. Feel free to read my response to your op and I'll give you a book list if you wanna learn.

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 8h

If you're unwilling to take critical feedback, especially from Black and Brown folks who are far more vulnerable than you and I in this moment, because "pink pussy hats" and "white feminism" make you clutch your pearls and lash out, then you've got a lot of soulsearching and education to do.

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 8h

For you to take that critique personally & attack the messenger, who did in fact attend his local protest, shows your unwillingness to interrogate your own shortcomings in this fight. Telling a stranger to go fuck themselves in the face of valid critique is the definition of an intellectual cop out

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 8h

Is it good that people showed up? Yes. Were meaningful connections built that lay the ground for further direct action to follow? Yes. Is there a valid critique in the lack of an overarching framework for sustained action/community building after the protest ends, similar to the women's march? Yes.

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 8h

This convo all began with a valid critique of a white man being obtuse about how his words were perceived as diminishing the civil rights movement vs no kings as a numbers game rather than a real difference in focused, sustained and INTENTIONAL organizing.

A US president, furious about protests essentially clarifying everyone thinks he sucks and responding to it with AI videos of him in a crown flying a fighter jet dumping shit onto American citizens & Nancy Pelosi kneeling to him as a king? Fuck dog, not even satirical Cyberpunk scifi predicted this

this is a tacit admission that the administration is not confident in the legal arguments it would have to make in order to detain them, which should also cast into question the legality of the operation in the first place

I have a new goal in life and it's to create a tool that quickly and efficiently straightens/flattens crumpled up dollar bills for drag performers.

My hands are still cramping up from helping the queens organize their tip money last night 😩
