Taking up analog photography has been great for my writing and terrible for my bank account. I don’t talk much about it here, but if you’re interested here are some of my recent favorites. At least one of these, probably two are going in my forthcoming book.

Fuck you @CNN . This isn’t an incursion, it’s an illegal invasion and occupation. Israel is committing acts of genocide in Lebanon and you are aiding them with your propaganda.

Today I watched as an Israeli flag flew over Beaufort Castle, a @UNESCO world heritage site. I watched as the Israeli army bombed the area with white phosphorus. I photographed the destroyed castle with the Israeli flag flying over it; as if they are proud of the destruction they caused.

Shame on you and your correspondents in Beirut.

I’m eager for you to face the same fate as the propagandists at Nuremberg.

[Avant-Garblin @themichaelogist]

And I will not vote for any politician that doesn't call for the end of genocide, apartheid, and colonial occupation. And neither will most of the Jews I know. So fuck these people.

Strong statement from Jewish Democratic Council of America CEO Halie Soifer: "We will not endorse a Democrat unless they support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state, and support Israel's security and right to self-defense."

She just voted for the “Don’t Say Trans” bill that didn’t need her vote to pass. This is why no one should listen to Democrats who tell you to vote blue no matter who. Who matters.

NEW: When a group of trans people went to Marie Gluesenkamp Perez's office to lobby for trans rights, an aide told them she's from a moderate district and has to carefully navigate the issue

Dozens of trans people lobbied in Congress earlier this month — here's what happened:

The stupid Guardian list is stupid because it’s a stupid exercise, BUT worth it because we got M John Harrison’s list which is awesomely weird. No one left like him.

@TheUntranslated We desperately need someone to start Ōe translations ASAP. I’ve wanted to read the game of contemporaneity for years.

"Not a shred of evidence" then lists named victim testimony. There's also literally mounds of evidence, including video evidence, IDF admissions, etc. Zionists are braindead monsters.

[Michelle Tandler @michelletandler]

Front page of the NYTimes - accusing IDF & Israelis of "mass rape".

Not a single shred of evidence was listed in the piece, other than the testimonies of 14 people, most of whom are connected to Hamas.

I'm at a loss for words.

Israeli drone chased and struck a man on a scooter with his 12 year old daughter, killing the father. The little girl ran, wounded, ran and was hunted by the drone and struck again. She has succumbed to her wounds.

[Avant-Garblin @themichaelogist]

@saintsoftness It's a horror among horrors.

[Avant-Garblin @themichaelogist]

Merely admitting the undeniable fact of Zionism's genocidal intent is bare minimum. If you can't admit Nazis committed genocide, if you can't admit America committed a genocide of Native people, if you can't admit Israel is committing genocide, you should be nowhere near power.

[Avant-Garblin @themichaelogist]

I know that I will never consider voting for someone who cannot clearly and concisely state that Israel is committing a genocide. If you cannot use your eyes and ears to see what is happening around you you should not be in a position of power.

[Avant-Garblin @themichaelogist]

The fact that candidates are still giving bullshit wishy-washy answers or saying "Netanyahu" to skirt the genocidal reality of Zionism is proof that liberals are constitutionally incapable of acting with integrity. They're bought and paid for.

[Avant-Garblin @themichaelogist]

Making Tucker Carlson look sane is something on the New York Times could do.

[gato fumante @KweenInYellow]

Am I crazy or is the New York Times podcast lady actually trying to argue that insulting Jewish people is worse than the mass murder of children?

@saintsoftness @TheLincoln One of my favorite writers of all time. Him and John Crowley.

When people say there is no such thing as Jewish Supremacy, I want you to show them this fucking video, from an elected liberal politician. Disgusting.

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

“There’s no peace in the Middle East bc Palestinians refuse to believe in the Torah. The Torah says it’s our [Jews] land. And that’s why America must always stand with Israel.”

Wow. He just came right out and said it.

[Avant-Garblin @themichaelogist]

Good for you but this is a right wing libertarian thinktank funded by the Kochs.

I am delighted and more honored than I can possibly say - the Emergent Ventures program at the Mercatus Center has offered me a grant of $175,000 with no requirements of any kind in the way of publicity, attendance at meetings, or anything else.
