oh, i love abeer, getting emails from her this week made was such a gift

i hope mother alsvid is well kitted out in her protective gear this winter

armenian christmas is always 6 jan., which is "three kings day" next year (my late father-in-law's middle name was the armenian version of one of the three kings' names)—it's seems to be a pretty common date in the oriental orthodox calendar. sorry to the eastern orthodox come latelies?

yeah, you know, the occupiers renamed it beersheba? and to "make the desert bloom," the brand new "israelis" had to lower themselves to learning palestinian agricultural techniques, some as old as what mohamed is doing to grow a farm in the sand dunes

oh weird! or not! i've never heard of that but maybe it's normal in certain situations? i'm no expert, i just know from experience

the gall of an architecture critic to post about architecture. real sick stuff.

oh, i get it. i really do.

december kittens, it's insane. we (my husband works in the TNR/shelter/clinic, uh, "space") have had like, a litter a week since november, even. it's awful.

someone needs a clipping, hot damn

so the Entity's project to knit together zionism and judaism has worked so effectively, some of the loudest right-wing low- and high-key antisemites are using nazi propaganda to implicitly oppose a genocide that the Big Tent Left tacitly support for fear of being branded antisemitic?

god help us.

now i've got that mclusky song stuck in my head, like MY DAD IS BIGGER THAN YOUR DAD music.youtube.com/watch?v=YbrT... but MY ALLY'S BIGGER THAN YOUR ALLY which doesn't quite scan but oh well

(that song is from 2002 i'm so OLD)

icelanders and greenlanders furiously agreeing

i began a tiny weekly donation to them, and abeer sent the nicest email, so i wrote back with a photo of the himbos—when her son majd briefly had a bsky account, we DMed about loving cats 💔

they need a new tent & warm clothes. publicity from #disability advocates would help!

(the US sent klaus barbie, the butcher of lyon, to bolivia with u.s. "special forces" to hunt down & assassinate che)

the flagrant war crimes / extrajudicial murders are freaking me out. and pardon my ignorance but why venezuela? curaçao still has oil that the dutch still basically own, right?

i fear the MA requesters become the next victims of the people who run this site, who run it like they despise anyone who asks other people for money except them and their peers for their "brilliant" iterations on other people's inventions.
