Fun fact: I didn’t stand for the pledge in high school and wrote my college essay about the reasons why and the adversity I faced for my decision from teachers and administrators. That essay got me into 5 different colleges though.

howdy-ho! just a friendly folk here to ask you a simple enough question:
pronouns? /genq
Oh hi friend, thanks for the query. I’m a cis woman (but what even is gender you know?) and my pronouns are she/her/hers.

Every time someone refers to what’s happening in Palestine as a war a bit of me crumbles inside. This isn’t war. It’s genocide. Call it what it is. Israel is committing genocide and the world is watching and the leaders don’t care. They don’t care about killing Palestinians and given different circumstances they won’t care about killing you.

This is in fact a core tenet of my personal life philosophy. People deserve beauty, joy, and pleasure in their lives.
hedonism is good actually rich people just suck at it

I’m hella burnt out at work right now but I get to go see Hozier in concert this weekend and concerts are one of my favorite ways to recharge. Hoping for an energizing and restorative weekend away.

An impactful video on the shortcomings of moral purity and how in times of war/genocide we must grapple with the painful psychological burden that we can’t save everyone but we can save some people and saving one person is better than saving none.

The US government and Zi*nists really want us all to cheer on genocide. They all really want us to be like "Go, Isr*el!" and be happy that our money is going towards killing thousands, including children. They want us to believe that what H*mas did was equivalent to what Isr*el is doing right now for not only the past 6 months straight but also the last 75 years. If they got rid of all Palestinians they want us to be completely fine with that. They've given a whole new meaning to antisemitism which has nothing to do with actual antisemitism but have absolutely nothing to say about anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment. They, like always, want us to lose our humanity give in to the capitalist colonialist machine and we're not going along with the program.

If I may put on my tinfoil hat for a moment, this is a really opportune time to try banning tik tok and shutting down the Affordable Connectivity Program which sought to provide internet access to low income folks. Our government is quite literally restricting our access to information right as it continues to financially support the genocidal apartheid state of Israel. I take this as a sign they fear the working class and our power. Time to rise up.

the university which administers the Pulitzer prizes is not allowing press on campus, to make sure nobody on-site can document what is happening.
the nypd threatened student journalists qnd their dean with arrest if they leave a building named after Joseph Pulitzer.
at this point it isn't even worth remarking on the sheer horror, the baffling irony of it all.
entire new york roads have been closed to traffic so that nobody can prevent the world's largest police force's brutalization of students protesting THEIR tution fres and tax dollars contributing to killing kids.
all of this to... keep investing in an apartheid regime.
Columbia University would rather risk their students getting murdered than divest from genocide...
