still trying to stay human

I came here for Palestine and found the world.--Omar Sakr

When I joined twitter years ago I wrote about Proust. How he said we use too many words and twitter seemed like an antidote to that. I wrote about funny things that happened, clever things people said, books, my writing. Then the world fell apart and here we are Free Palestine.

@martinez_j7902 I think this match was a qualifying match from 8 months ago. sorry. It's all over social media, but...

This World Cup, everyone with Norway 🇳🇴

The joy Norway experienced at the end of the match after defeating Israel 5-0:

Norway donated all the match's proceeds to Palestine.

@bluewmist and monetized and colonized by the elite

[blue @bluewmist]

pretty shitty how baseline human activities like singing, dancing and making art got turned into skills instead of being seen as behaviors
so now it's like 'the point of doing them is to get good at them' and not 'this is a thing humans do, the way birds sing and bees make hives.

Dear health influencers who think it's not up to you to comment on genocide.

This was Palestinian athlete Moazaz Obayat before and after 9 months of captivity in the prisons of the Zionist regime.

[Alison Clement @alisonclement]

I'll never forget this. From near the beginning of the genocide. Where are they now, this baby and this man?

@Tamer_Alnoaizy In my feed, this was preceded by a post about @GwynethPaltrow's endorsement of 10M penthouses in "Israel." 🍉 free Palestine

@abierkhatib I just watched them shoot a baby boy while he was being held in his father's arms.

@OrevaZSN I think the kind people who become billionaires aren't the kind of people people who give a shit about poverty, climate collapse or anything else outside of their small, narcissistic world.

And ask questions about your school libraries. Are they being funded and staffed by people who know about books? Often kids first learn about libraries at school.

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

Please consider getting a library card, even if you don’t use it much. Cities look at those numbers, and they help keep libraries open, funded properly, and safe from budget cuts.

@OrevaZSN Once when I asked a class of college freshmen for their ideas about an essay I'd assigned, one of the smartest students told me he'd rather have read it as bullet points. no

[Alison Clement @alisonclement]

@OrevaZSN Not only are kids not learning to read, some of us are having to retrain ourselves to be readers. After a liftime of books! Slow down and focus. Resist the phone. Turn a thought over in our minds.

@AlanRMacLeod @nytimes The NYT is pathetic. They're the fox news of liberals.

dear USA, look what people can do when they have actual demands instead of vague we- don't- like- this protests.

Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.
