A general reminder for academics: if you're not willing to do grunt work, don't you dare assign those tasks to people who are more precarious than you who have to say "yes." If its not worth your time, its not worth theirs.
I asked my wife why she was in private browsing mode on her phone and she explained that Safari only allows 500 tabs in regular mode so she had to switch. You think you know a person
The reason we don’t view needing glasses like we do other disabilities is because the accommodation has become so accessible that people just live their lives! And we could, as a society, work towards that being the case for all disabilities instead of idk eugenics???????????
Israel, Elbit Systems, and the lobby worked to stop Palestine Action from the very month it was founded in 2020.
Five years and many victories later. Here we are.
How on earth can the UK sanction two Israeli ministers yet — at the very same time — continue supplying weapons to the very government they serve?
The UK’s position is becoming more absurd by the day. End all arms sales to Israel, now.
Israel operates a system of "genocide tourism" close to Gaza
Israeli settlers and tourists have been gathering on hilltops near Gaza in what’s been dubbed the “Sderot cinema”, watching and cheering as airstrikes hit Palestinian areas—an act widely condemned as “genocide tourism.”
🚨 BREAKING : Israeli forces have killed Mohammed Al-Mabayed, the project manager of the Turkish IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation @ihhinsaniyardim , by targeting his vehicle on Al-Nafaq Street in Gaza City.
🚨UPDATE: Sila Madi, the young girl who pleaded to save her left leg after an Israeli army airstrike in Gaza, has undergone amputation making it the second leg she’s lost. She remains unconscious, unaware that both her legs are now gone.
Her condition is critical: a persistent fever, infected wounds, and shrapnel still lodged in her back.
Her sister Rahaf also lost her left leg and is full of shrapnel. Their mother, Nisreen, may face amputation as well. This family is slowly fading victims of yet another Israeli airstrike on Gaza.
Glasses are a prosthetic! Get used to that word! Get used to the phrase disability aid. Everyone reacting to this so strongly needs to unpack their internalized ableism. If you wear glasses, you are wearing a visual prosthetic
Liar. You are a government of war. You provide the weapons, you provide the political support. You are warmongers through and through. And you are murderers.

Culturally we're in the body fascism trenches. But also this trend confirms the amount of people whose gym habit is driven by deep self-hatred. Cruelty to themselves, and cruelty towards anyone who dares love their fat body.
