Pinned
Locked out of DMs until I find a way to circumvent the UK requirements. Don't use them enough to worry about it much, BUT if you'd like I'm on Signal and I'll share that with those I trust.
What I'd prefer as my actual pinned post below.

What happens to the Jewish people without Israel? Ask the Yezidis. And if you don’t know what ISIS did to the Yezidis, it’s time to open your eyes.

I have been finding an unusually large number of interdimensional portals on my walks recently. I am calling this one ‘Mystical Bridge Of The Shy Pissing Troll’.

SNOW!!! Woke up to grey skies but SNOW 🌨️
Which means I don't dare go out.
Ice from when it thaws/refreezes + seizures from the cold = damaging falls. Pretty much guaranteed even with good German boots & walking sticks 🫤
But there's now a layer of insulation on the roof and the snow is pretty 😍

I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

The three things I am watching are a very loud very raucous very silly Thai comedy, a not that scary yet haunted house series, and movies. None of which are suitable for this close to bed.
I should probably stop thinking about this before my brain decides it needs lakorn 🤔

'feels like' temperature not forecast to go about freezing until Saturday. that means seizure trigger weather so i'm stuck indoors with my only interactions being social media spaces who have no use for me except as an audience or cast as a villain so others feel good about themselves.

Qatar has poisoned an entire generation with propaganda. The next Democratic POTUS should cut off all diplomatic and economic ties with Qatar. The damage that’s been done will take decades to fix, if at all.
It's amazing.
We used to document radicalized extremists from Y'all Qaeda to Al Qaeda and now we have an entire generation (Gen Z) that is brainwashed to believe and support Hamas.
The same Hamas funded by Qatar.
Same Qatar that's funding the genocide in the Sudan.

Sorry, I know this was a while ago, but I'm still upset about it. They literally edited a video of a High Holiday sermon to make it sound like she said the opposite of what she really said, and then pretended it was about Zionism to get people outraged for clicks.
Keep an eye out for this: There's deceptively edited video floating around Instagram & TikTok which appears to show a rabbi speaking in favor of human sacrifice and saying "some need to die for the world to flourish."
In fact, she is reading a post by R. Tali Adler which decries that very attitude.
