Hello new friends! If you came here for dog pics, you will not be disappointed! If you came here for slightly unhinged shitposting about the state of our society, you will also not be disappointed! Here’s a bit of both:

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

I think that's part of it but the other part is it's men -and in this case especially rich men - and they already don't do those tasks, so they don't see them. This is why we're getting Samsung TV's with ads and not fridges that remind us to eat the lettuce before it spoils

This is the tell that they don't want people with creative capacity. They want menials and drones that they can use extract wealth from their lives and labors, then discard before the next quarterly report.

The actual cruel burden is the point.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 12h

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

people who want other people to stay in sad little grey boxes forever and never be happy in their bodies or desires are villains and cowards and they may be winning right now but by god they will lose as water smooths stone and roots break it, because that fierce joy is roots and water and life

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

I’m Reem, from Gaza. The war may be over, but we still live in the middle of its ashes. I was a college student. I was studying, dreaming and planning a life of hope but I lost everything in my home. My family’s livelihood has been erased💔😭

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

President Trump is "seriously" considering invoking the Insurrection Act in order to more easily deploy National Guard troops to major cities as part of crime crackdown, NBC reported on Wednesday

My precious Vivienne 🥰 @despinaki.bsky.social & I met on twitter in 2023 & a year later she brought Vivi & I together

Starting to see celebratory videos coming out of Gaza: children jumping up and down, young men dancing, women praying.

May God protect all of the people in Gaza as this deal moves forward.

Based on what I’m seeing on X from Qatari, Palestinian, and Israeli sources, this Gaza deal appears to be happening for real.

The details will reportedly be released later.

Imo, racism/anti-Palestinian sentiment. But yes a lot of them are getting marked as spam despite being real people I’ve interacted with regularly 😞

It is heartbreaking & infuriating that accounts of very real people keep getting deleted 💔 Sakher is a real person who was recently diagnosed with malnutrition and can use all of our support 💗

It's Reem 🇵🇸🍉 @reeeeeeem.bsky.social · 2d

Sakher’s account was shut down — the only place where he spoke to the world about his pain and his suffering.

That account was his only voice, his way to survive and keep going.

Today, Sakher lost his last connection to the world.💔

Complement with comments, don't skip‼️

This fundraiser doesn’t bring much… but it’s all we have.
It’s our only chance to rebuild even a small part of what was taken.
We’re not just asking for donations — we’re asking for a future. For a life. For dignity.
Please help us keep going. Even a little support means the world.

This is us — Sakher and Reem.
Two years of war took everything from us.
Our homes are gone. Our futures shattered.
We carry the weight of loss every single day. But together, we’re still trying to hold onto a tiny piece of hope.
