“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.
Republican hypocrisy is the design.
GOP politicians take and take, then flip and tell others to do without.
The Electoral College is a vestige of slavery. Getting rid of it would improve democracy.

Muhannad reached out to me to help share his fundraiser. He is urgently trying to raise money to help evacuate his 5-person family from Gaza. He has only raised $1,086 AUD out of his $35,000 goal so far! Please share and donate, and if you can't donate, please still share!
From Muhannad's GFM:
Give us the last chance to survive and leave Gaza
Hello everyone, I am Muhannad from Gaza. I hope this message finds you well and safely.
I'm here trying to save my family from the genocide happening in Gaza. You will save the lives of 5 amazing family members, 3 of whom are children. My wonderful mother, Nisreen, suffers from a recurrent tumor in the parotid gland. It requires urgent follow-up every 6 months to control the progression of the tumor because it is very close to the brain and the chances of it spreading are high.
My family faces death every minute... I feel constant terror when I hear every bombing surrounding them, the only thing I can do to save their lives is evacuate them from the death zone. However, the border is closed to citizens trying to leave. There is only one way for families to leave, and it requires an amount of money of $6000 per person. We do not have this amount after destroying our property and depriving everyone of access to banks or withdrawing their money. Hence, I am here to ask for your support to reach the targeted amount of money needed to evacuate my family while they are still alive.
All my family members who are in Gaza now (my father, my sister Farah, my sister Hala, my brother Abdullah, my mother) who were living the best days of their lives a few months ago are now facing unprecedented challenges to survive day by day. day. In addition to the continuous indiscriminate bombing, which led to their displacement repeatedly.
Ok so if anyone is curious this did happen. It was in Portland, Oregon. The dead guy, last name Magnuson, age 55, screamed epithets at this UPS driver, Warren, age 41. Warren stopped and told him off. Magnuson then decided to hit Warren. Oregon has no Duty to Retreat, so Warren was within his rights to hit him back. He ht him once in the face and he fell and hit his head on a sidewalk, which is probably what actually killed him. All that to say, no charges filed and good fucking riddance.
His name is Omar Ahmad Abdulghani Hamed. He was 17. He was shot in the head last night in the West Bank, in the Palestinian village of Beitin, near Ramallah.
“At least 30 armed Israeli settlers from the nearby Beit El settlement, accompanied by Israeli soldiers, entered the village of Beitin and attacked a Palestinian family’s home. Palestinian residents confronted the group of Israeli settlers, who fired live ammunition indiscriminately at Palestinians. A bullet struck Omar in the forehead and exited from the back. He was transported in a private vehicle which brought him to a Palestinian ambulance that was on its way to the village. He was transferred to Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah, where he was pronounced dead around 9:15 p.m.”
op turned off reblogs on this post for safety reasons but gave me permission to repost it because it's an important message.
