Two of Tasneem's children.
Forbes: “After more than two years of a catastrophic conflict, children in Gaza are living in conditions no child should ever experience.”
The Gazans rely on our donations to survive. No amount is too small.
Please give to my dear friend Tasneem. And to others. 🙏💕

Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...
Thanks to @galdra.com for including me as Prof Hyben in Arcadia Fallen II. Don’t judge my singing. Okay, judge my singing.
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
remember the first time the IDF bombed a hospital and pretended that they hadn’t, and it was a Hamas rocket that had hit the hospital instead?
and then they realized that the people who supported didn’t care, so they just started putting out press releases that said “bombed another hospital?”
(Reposting with a current quote sheet!) My friend Lily is a great artist. Some of you may have even bought autographed prints from me that she designed. If you need to commission art, she’s very affordable and quick!
Congrats, Brian!!
ICE whistleblower Ryan Schwank, a former ICE instructor and attorney, testifies that agents were trained to disregard constitutional rights.
3 weeks today, I’ll be hosting a panel at GDC with @yurilowenthal.bsky.social, @cissyspeaks.bsky.social, @eliastoufexis.bsky.social, and @courtenaytaylor.bsky.social, on How To Be An Actor’s Favourite Director. I’m excited, and would really love to see you there. schedule.gdconf.com/session/stop...
every time someone says something like "there weren't trans people when I was a kid" or some shit about trans people being a new thing because WOKE all I can think is "motherfucker Dog Day Afternoon was made in 1975"
Can’t wait!!
If there is one thing people lost and didn't know it generally is the phenomenal special features that often only appear on physical media like DVDs.
Always and forever.
Hell yes. How do we do that??
The pleasure was mine!!
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.
The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!
The rent is due in Minneapolis: ICE isn’t going anywhere chuffed.org/project/unio...
Did a fun new podcast with my old pal! Lily K! youtu.be/k-s16cREdLg
That’s how it’s done
“As things become more popular on the side of the people, you see more desperate attempts by the regime to try and deter it.. One of the goals of an authoritarian regime is to scare the people into submission, and the most important thing that we can do to counteract that is to continue showing up."
Hard same. My son watches it almost daily. Which I guess makes me a terrible parent. But only because I told him, “Sure, buddy, you can cite this in school during history class.”
Use the 5 Calls app! The app does all the work for you. It gathers all your rep's info based on where you live, the current issues, and gives you a script to say. Please call your senators!
The Pretti family’s heartbreaking request to all of us: get the truth out about our son.
Alex was an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA whose last act was to protect the woman next to him. We will not let this Administration spread lies.
If you are scared and angry and need to DO something (and you do need to do something) do this. Every day this week. Call your senators and say NO MORE MONEY FOR ICE. It may be uncomfortable for you, but it’s less uncomfortable than getting shot in the street. www.buzzfeed.com/jillianwilso...
Verbal assault or, as it's legally known, "not assault"
Screenshot: serialephemera Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part! should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.
This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it
