> After Khalil was apparently targeted by Israel, a commentator asserting a connection with the military said journalists "affiliated with Hezbollah" are "destined for death."
If anyone I affiliate with is still OK with all of this or says "it is nuanced", I need them to know I want nothing more to do with them. Israel is a wildly lawless and savage nation that must be ostracized.
@inthehands Thanks for sharing that. Carolyn Forché is my friend's mom but I don't know her work much. I only know she was one of Ta-Nehisi Coates's professors and mentors. I'll have to take a closer look!
My friend Devanté is a pillar of the NYC queer community and a vibrant stylist and designer. He is currently healing from a terrible case of shingles and nerve damage. Please kick him down a few bucks if you can https://gofund.me/c6113d61e
If there is someone in your family that pulls people together, organizes cookouts, schedules the reunions, calls to check on everyone, or any such care work please tell them you appreciate them and encourage them to take someone from the next generation under their wings.
I am in the midst of experiencing what happens to a family when no one is there to round up the troops and get them to come enjoy delicious grilled meats and strong belly laughs.
"Studies have shown that people return 5 to 7 times to abusive relationships before they finally leave...and because so much crisis is now happening in our communities, more people are going fo be in harder relationships and are going to be reaching out more in crisis...So we need to not ditch each other just for being deep in some weird coping mechanisms." - Dean Spade on supporting our friends and comrades in abusive and toxic relationships
I'm reorganizing my book shelf to make space for the many books that now make up my collection on radical social change, endings, loss, grief, and facilitation. These topics all inform my work as The Wind Down (https://wind-down.org)
@prolrage I think fewer and fewer people in the world are falling for these incessant cries of antisemitism and also the implications that antisemitism is the biggest scourge on the planet.
Frankly, I think even Israel's biggest enabler (the US) is exhausted and beginning to move on. The US regime is interested in material gain, which Israel isn't really offering these days. And even a blind person can see that starving and bombing babies for years is WAY WORSE than disliking Israel. @aral

Can someone with an Iphone let me know what it looks like when you receive a text from an unknown Android? Does it go into a separate box or something? Do you get a notification? If so, is it of a different type than the Iphone notifications? I have no plans to buy an Iphone, but I feel like there is a HUGE lag between when I text my Iphone friends and when they respond. Like I feel like I can text them all at once today and they will all respond way later but like all at the same time. 🤔
I run The Wind Down (https://wind-down.org), a practice supporting organizations to close down or at least understand that endings can be beautiful. co-moderator of praxis.nyc (with @nonlinear) here in Lenapehoking(avatar is of Spiderpunk, a black masc with a large afro in a leather jacket and hoop earrings along his ear and one through his nose)#blackanarchist
