is there such an identity as a medium? "the medium is the message," they say. but what message do you have if you yourself are the medium? it sounds more like you don't have a self. everything that makes up you is a mosaic of other people, stories, images.

With Russia recently shifting its military focus in the Mediterranean from Syria to Libya..
Libyans have taken to the streets to protest against Russia's presence. This follows a call by Libya's Grand Mufti urging the people to "kick Russia out of the country."

Die neoliberale Politik, die die AfD stark gemacht hat, droht sich unter der kommenden Regierung noch zu verschärfen. Die antifaschistische Antwort wäre eine Wirtschaftspolitik, die die Menschen ermächtigt und ihnen die Hoffnung gibt, dass es auch wieder bergauf gehen kann.

For @theguardian.com I wrote about how Gaza has split the academic field of genocide studies.
As one scholar put it, “Where can the field stand if scholars from within and around it are unwilling to call the behaviour out?”

i want more beauty in life. it's sad to look at the mundane, i want to immerse myself in aesthetics - sometimes dark, uncanny and gothic, on the verge of extravagance and vulgarity, but still stylish and tasteful. mood is - northern baroque

i really like the weather in berlin. it seems like perfect winter weather. it's pleasant to walk and breathe the air—so humid and cool. there's even something very cozy about this leaden sky and the soggy rusty leaves on the paths

how long can you keep swallowing things you don't like? gulp-gulp and you lose your voice. gulp-gulp and you lose yourself. gulp-gulp and suddenly you don't know if it's really you or just an easy-to-get-along puppet without feelings and desires. now you're learning not to swallow in therapy.

Amnesty says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, Human Rights Watch says crimes against humanity, the ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu (and Hamas leaders), the ICJ is hearing South Africa's genocide case. What is our government doing? www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...
Amnesty International concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza
Amnesty International’s research has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.

when you're #queer, from childhood you get used to living in constant internal conflict with yourself, questioning your truth and your feelings. and it's fucking hard. this fear of being wrong, of seeing what others don't see, has stayed with me for life.

Georgian parliament building now, nonstop watering of protesters from all sides with high intensity. A large puddle of water has formed in the vicinity of the parliament building from the water cannons. Protesters are stretched from the parliament building across all Rustaveli.
