this week's post is about palestine, the history of zionism, and anecdotes about israeli anarchist friends of mine from years ago who were living in exile to avoid joining the IDF

Ich war selber in einer Situation, in der ich monatelang die Post nicht öffnen konnte. Mein Strom war bereits abgestellt. Statt diesem Krieg gegen die Schwächsten im Land nicht in den Arm zu fallen, behandelt ihn die SPD als strategische Verhandlungsmasse.

Das ist so kaputt. Aktuell wird darüber verhandelt, ob beim 2. oder 3. Terminversäumnis vollsanktioniert werden soll? Das wird jene hart treffen, die ohnehin nix zu lachen haben: Depressionen, Phobien, Krankenhausaufentahlt, usw. Bis dagegen erfolgreich geklagt werden könnte, würden Jahre vergehen.

Künstler*innen produzieren im Laufe einer langen Karriere auch mal nicht so gute Werke. Das ist ganz normal und muss nicht direkt zu einem riesigen Politikum werden.

an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously

when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint

the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

As long as it doesn't devolve into those constant, rapidly repeating doomsday scenarios that I hate so much about the NJPW discourse, it's okay.
And luckily, I have a very trigger-happy block finger. ☝️🚫

Yeah, I notice it the more I actively engage with it. I was happily trapped in my little novelty bubble since January, and now "finally" my algorithm is so NOAHfied that absolutely everything related to it is popping up in my feed, including all the bullshit. O.o

This discourse about a promotion's supposedly inevitable downfall already annoys me incredibly with New Japan. I naively thought I'd be safe from it with NOAH for the time being. Oh, well... 💀

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Great! I'll give it a try. Learning Japanese with Tetsuya Endo, Lesson 1.

thrashing pumpkin 🤘🎃 @thrashingpumpkin.bsky.social · 13d

I'll gladly spend ¥300 on Endo, but I wonder if I'll be able to understand it properly with only machine translation. My Japanese is at most at the level of a two-year-old who grew up next to a wrestling ring. That won't get me very far.

I'm waaaay too excited about a tag match. 😆

I'm pissed that they're blaming women for a nonexistent "autism crisis." I'm pissed that they're lying about what autism is and that mainstream people are normalizing what they're saying about autistic people. I'm pissed that this murderous grift is continuing. I'm just pissed.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

„Ob sie uns jetzt auch endlich mal zeichnet?“

Eine Illustration zweier niedlicher, flauschiger Fledermäuse. Die outlines sind mit Tusche gezeichnet, die Kolorierung mit markern und Farbstiften. Eine hat die Händchen erwartungsvoll zusammengelegt, die andere guckt freundlich mit riesigen, glänzenden Augen. Sie ist im einiges breiter und aufgeplusterter als die erste, die die Flügel um sich gelegt hat. Beide haben große Ohren.

Selbes Bild von nahem, man erkennt gut die vielen feinen Tusche Striche, die das flauschige Fell andeuten

Und alles noch mal von ein weniger weiter weg um zu zeigen wie kleini die beiden sind
