Tell me why, even after 12 years, whenever I hear Clara’s theme for the first time in a while I’m immediately in tears?! 😭 Happy #DoctorWhoDay!

This is a wonderful way to grieve: Alice worked tirelessly to raise awareness about why Palestine was a disability justice issue and to raise funds for Gaza.
One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

Palestinian families like Baraa's are being violently displaced & starved to death in Israel's genocide. Baraa already lost one daughter to the genocide, please help her keep her daughter Masa & son Ibrahim alive by sharing & donating. Bsky keeps restricting/deleting them:

Recognizing a State they're currently helping to wipe out seems like a cruel joke
The UK government has confirmed it will finally recognise the state of Palestine - a welcome step.
But this must be accompanied by real, concrete actions to bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and the end of arms sales to Israel.

Sometimes reposting and sharing doesn’t feel like enough, so just to be clear: End the starvation. End the genocide. End the occupation. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

Smalls, the only Black flotilla member, appears to be the only one who has been treated this way
Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.
Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order".
And so it begins.
