bisan has just posted a video that israel has lit up the sky, signalling they will bomb tonight, and that she has nowhere to go. she is in khan yunis--the south, where she was told to go to.

you can hear planes overhead as she speaks.

she wants israel to finally admit the truth--they do not want palestinians to go to "safe" parts of gaza, they want people to leave entirely and recreate the 1948 nakba.

please spread the word, please keep bisan in your thoughts, and do not let this happen in silence.

i'm seeing people losing hope for palestine i'm begging you seriously please don't. the death toll is high but there are still people alive, there are still journalists risking everything to make sure the world sees what is happening. please continue protesting if you have the option to, keep demanding for a ceasefire and keep talking about palestinians both alive and dead. you have to keep going until the very end or else you really did fail them.

Reminder that before all this, the population of Gaza was approximately 2,300,000. The current death toll is around 15,500 - possibly as many as 20,000. That's horrific, yes. But that means that there are still at least 2,280,000 gazans alive and kicking. There are 2.28 million people who would benefit from a permanent ceasefire; for an end to Israeli hostility; for increased aid and reliable access to food and water. There are still 2.28 million people that Israel has not managed to kill.

So keep making noise. Do whatever you can to help those 2.28 million living people, and to remember and honour the 15,000-20,000 lives that have been taken. Giving up on Gaza helps no one but Israel.

Hi,

It’s your friendly neighbor fanfic author here. In the light of this apparent new trend of people feeding unfinished fics to AI to get an “ending,” and some people even talking about “blanket permissions,” let me just say this:

I EXPLICITLY FORBID ANYONE TO FEED MY FICS TO AI. DUDE, THAT IS ABOUT THE LEAST RESPECTFUL THING YOU CAN DO. IF YOU DO IT, SHALL YOU BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM YOUR FANDOM AND WALK ON LEGOS BAREFOOT TILL THE END OF DAYS.

That is my anti-permission.

Thank you for your attention.

That’s my man your honor, judge me all you want..

Levi: that dress looks great on you, but you know where it would look better?

Levi: hanging neatly in a wardrobe after being perfectly ironed.

Battle for the cowl but none of them wants to be Batman

Jason: Dick is the oldest, he should have to be Batman. I'm too violent-

Dick: Hell no, Damian is Bruce's son, he should be Batman.

Tim: it shouldn't be me

Damian: It shouldn't be Tim

They pass the mask around like hot coals

Trans people: Hey please don’t buy this game.

Cis people: What if I bought it, but also donated some money to charity?

Trans people: No thanks. Please just don’t buy it.

Cis people:

“More and more I’m starting realize that many people see “charity” as a store where you buy goodwill from strangers. Like “being a good person” is something you can purchase with money”

reinventing christianity

Corrollary to this, please for the love of God, cis people with guilty consciences, do NOT message trans people to plead your case like you think they’re your fucking Trans Issue Indulgence Dispenser.

For that matter, stop fucking messaging ME about it. I’m a cis male gaming YouTuber, why in the flip-flop flying fricassee fuck do you think my approval fucking matters?

You’re not getting a seven hail Marys and a genuflection to absolve this. Sit with your actions and own them like an adult. You wanted your Treats™️ more than you wanted to make the universe’s easiest gesture if support for people being persecuted. You resented being asked to give up the slightest little thing for someone else.

So, as people are seeing the pretty extreme antisemitism in the new terf wizard game, it should be noted that this was not a case of "following existing antisemitic fantasy tropes". This was purposeful. The ex lead designer is alt right and ran an alt right "anti social justice" youtube channel. The discovery of this channel and the resulting controversy lead to him later being removed from the project late in development but the main premise of the game was determined by him and others with his views. The core concept of this game is antisemitic and fully intended to be. It is not a case of thoughtless devs or lack of cultural sensitivity. This game is intended to be antisemitic propaganda designed and developed by openly alt right devs.

A light tip tap of the rain on Levi's window is what wakes you up at 3:30 in the morning. When most of the city is quiet save for the man next to you with a laptop over his thighs, the blue light reflection bouncing off of his glasses as your own eyes squint to adjust.

It's not uncommon for him to be awake at this time of night, often working into early morning because that's when it's easiest for him to focus. He turns to you, features softening over the hardened expression of concententration.

"Did I wake you?"

"Nah," you yawn, nodding your heavy head towards the window. "Rain."

He hums, resuming his typing with one hand as he smooths the blanket over your shoulder. "I have some disposable earplugs."

"no, no. Could you just...keep doing that?"

"Mm?'

"Your hand feels nice there," you tap the top of his knuckles, feeling them flex slightly out of instinct. He resumes the strokes up and down your upper arm, his nails just barely grazing through the blanket in a soothing pattern that serves as a silent lullaby.

"Like this?" There's amusement settling in his question. You're too tired to be indignant about it, offering a chuffed affirmation instead. "So cute."

It's uttered under his breath, under the quick typing and increasing pitter patter of the summer rain against the window, but you still hear it.

"Sleep, sweetheart," he says in that same baritone, laced with a sense of fondness that only you've managed to earn from Levi.

"Don't forget to sleep too," you chide gently, curling up next to him as he gives your shoulder a squeeze. His reply is the vocalized equivalent of a roll of his eyes, but he appreciates the care you put into the gentle command nonetheless.

fuck this handmaids tale country.

violence is the appropriate response to oppression btw

I know.

You're angry. You should be. You're scared. You should be.

This is awful. It's horrifying. It's deeply depressing. Rage. Scream. Mourn the tragedy we know is coming.

But remember this: what we are about to experience is the world our grandmothers and great grandmothers lived in. This is what they fought against.

Remember that they won. Even if the victory was temporary, they still won.

We can win, too. Prepare yourself. Finish your mourning, and get back to the fight. Yes, it's awful that we have to have this same fight. It's frustrating. It's heartbreaking. But now is not the time to surrender to despair.

Now the work begins.

Books. They were a common comfort you turned toward in times of stress, sadness or simply something to make the time go by on the bus ride to campus.

The small bookstore, that you often went to on the weekends, was unique. Most books were donated or found, then there was a small selection of brand new editions on the circular table when you entered the shop.

visiting a friend part: one

8 year old Dick’s third trip to Bruce’s office and being so helpful that he pressed ALL the elevator buttons so that they could shout good morning to each floor

*ding*

“Dick, this is the eighty-second floor, could we please–”

“Good morale is a preeminent factor in all workplace environments. I saw it on Discovery Science, CSPAN, and also Bill Nye. HELLO EIGHTY-SECOND FLOOR!”

25-year-old Dick doing the same exact thing. The people on the floors now yell back.

Ok, but consider- Dick teaching this to Damian. Using all the argument he’s built up for Bruce over the years and, “Yes Damian this is important to workplace moral”. And Damian has no choice but to believe Dick that, This is just how things are done because everyone yells back. Jump to Bruce being worried about taking Damian to the office with him for the first time and Damian is just like, “tch, Do not worry Father I have been trained on proper workplace procedure.” Which only had Bruce more worried until Damian proceeds to hit every single elevator button and, when the doors open, in his most proper voice, “Salutations Second Floor.” There is of course a chorus of “Good Morning"s and “Hello Damian"s Bruce is so completely frozen in shock that doesn’t say anything as the process repeats on every single floor. and he can only nod and say “Good Job” when Damian looks to him for approval once they’re done.
