This comes after Trump threatened them for once having a trans student athlete.

Casualty figures are rapidly increasing. Just a day after health minister’s presser, ministry says toll of a week of Israeli strikes on Lebanon has risen to 486 killed and 1,313 wounded #lebanon #beirut
If you watch only one thing today, please let it be this powerful video from @timep.bsky.social's Jad El Dilati, who urgently calls for deescalation and brings to life what it means to be a Lebanese civilian driven from your home amid the horror of Israeli evacuation notices.
Live-tweeting the fall of a country and a civilisation, aren’t I? A whole different role for a historian that I had never quite considered.
Pictures emerging from today’s heavy bombing of Isfahan. Damages to the mirror works, tiles, floors, and carved wooden doors of Safavid palaces of Aali Qapu and Chehelsotoon. Both of these are within the UNESCO Heritage complex of Naqsh-e Jahan Square. These are 16th-17th century bldgs.
Some photos of Chehel Sotoon before the Leader of the Free World got to it. Some of these paintings are irreplaceable historical record, including the scene of Shah Abbas hosting the Mughal emperor Houmayoun.
I just remember when the roof of Notre-Dame de Paris was on fire and how every Western leader became a cultural expert and lamented the damage and how everyone donated money to rebuild it.
I am having a hard time finding a single article in any European or American publication about this.
oooh they'd be boba/pop rocks hybrid
Huge NYT article on the back story of those two weeks in March/April 2025 when DOGE illegally terminated hundreds of NEH grants. Gift link!!

Drains across the Iranian capital Tehran are continuing to explode after earlier Israeli and US strikes on oil depots and infrastructure.
Medical experts are warning the toxic smoke and runoff has increased the risk of deadly illnesses, including cancer.
“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."
Read every word.
Oh god, you deserve a BIG reward for that amount of thankless bureaucratic admin.
The US and Israel have bombed at least 13 hospitals and health facilities in Iran and one in Lebanon.
anyone else feeling like your inner screams are at such a volume that they're radiating out through your skin
People gathered in a square in Tel Aviv, Israel, on March 7, 2026, to protest U.S. and Israeli military attacks on Iran and call for an immediate end to the war.
Morning in Tehran engulfed in the hell US/Israel are celebrating bringing to Iran
It’s raining oil in Tehran. They have set fire to, bombed &polluted our city. For those who do not die in the blazes they set or in the buildings they bomb, so many will develop chronic health problems. This is the US/Israeli recipe for erasure of a people - the “Gaza playbook” x.com/fpleitgencnn...
They have turned this beautiful city into a wasteland. Those who do don’t die from bombs will succumb to unspeakable illness. Most of my close family is in Tehran
lol thankfully Deep Space Nine was there for me instead 😂
I have never seen it, not even tonight 🫥
I think it's important and worthwhile to make clear the short path between the anti-trans book bill being passed and the eventual banning of all queer books, and at the same time, I wish the immediate threat to trans art and people was enough to galvanize cis people
😔 me too, pal
I saw blood moon for you just now, can report it looked like a beautiful, dramatic slice of old ham suspended in the heavens.
It is women in horror month. I am one of those and here is my gothic/horror lit collection that people said was pretty good.

I think Picard is a good and fair manager for all the parts where he does not actually have to talk to you. Basically, if Picard is your manager, then Riker is your manager.
ICYMI. Honored to have this beautiful, beautiful review of my book up at Strange Horizons, by @stephenrcase.bsky.social
oh WOW 🤩
This is worth mentioning to your friends who traded their ChatGPT for Claude subscriptions - Claude helped kill all of those little girls at school in Iran. Anthropic isn’t ethical AI.
