Loving reminder that making art about your feelings both counts as an act of resistance and will help you effectively grieve ✌️🩷

Additionally, civil defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal accused #Israel of restricting the entry of necessary shelter, caravans and construction materials into #Gaza, compounding the natural disaster unfolding in the territory.
"A new polar storm is approaching Gaza, and what lies ahead will be catastrophic," Basal warned, adding that the coming days will bring "preventable deaths".
The Government Media Office in the strip stressed in its latest press release on Tuesday that "Gaza is dying slowly", adding that more than 7,000 tents were swept away in the past two days due to the strong winds and heavy rain.

FOUND IT

tumblr post from magicmooshka on January 7:

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen Al for scriptwriting but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen Al for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that Al can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.
It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation.
The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen Al will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

@LauraRuthless makes me think of the estranged parents who say "my kid is so awful, i wonder why they refuse to talk to me"

@farah i have a similar struggle with snacks at my house. Best solution so far has been decoy snacks

I got this idea from a photo i once saw of a cat laying on a keyboard on the desktop in front of its human's work monitor while the human typed on the "real" keyboard on the desk's keyboard tray/shelf

Corporate Dems like Schumer & Booker are pushing "strongly worded statements" demanding ICE "needs more training."

They're missing the point. The problem with badly trained Nazis is not that they're badly trained—it's that they're Nazis!

You don't train Nazis. You abolish them. ABOLISH ICE. NOW!

Them: I just ended a five year relationship.

Me: Oh no! Are you okay?

Them: I’m fine. It wasn’t my relationship.

@mayintoronto loving reminder that your brain is an organ and while thinking might not burn more calories, it does burn thru your neurotransmitters, causing cognitive fatigue. Sleep and meditation both have been shown to clear out the waste products from those spent neurotransmitters. Your exhaustion is so very valid!

@Edmonds_Scanner as fun and aesthetic as the first three might be... none of them mean anything when its unsafe to go out. No number of daggers will take down systemic oppression. Functioning democracy every time.

Again... a Poem

I got COVID
Nothing to sweat
I've had worse
What's the threat?

Got COVID again
I'm tired a lot
I'm not sure why
Must be the shot

Got COVID again
"Twas just a cold
Brain's a bit fuzzy
Just getting old

Got COVID again
Not feeling so spry
I'm sick all the time
I wonder why

Got COVID again
Three months and counting
No sick days left, and
My doc bills are mounting

Got COVID again
My friend didn't mask
Didn't know he was sick
I never asked

Got COVID again
My heart
My heart
My...

Tomorrow (Friday, 1/16) marks four weeks since all of the Epstein files were required to be released by law. To date the Department of Justice has released 0.6% of the known material.

The DOJ has not even made incremental releases, as it said it would when it missed the deadline.

ICE, Venezuela, Greenland, and Iran are not making the Epstein files go away.

Just got these in the mail

I was raised by dance instructors and have been deeply involved with both fire dancers and dance instructors for a hot minute

All of those people were terrible to me
I was even told by some of them that im not/would never be a "real dancer"

This year, i take all of it back
Put the fire in my own hands and dance back into my body

Im way more terrified of the feelings than i am of the flames

#dance #dancer #fire #flow

My hands holding two unburned fire dancing palm torches. They both have a gorgeous metal flower that acts as both a frame for the flames and heat shield for my hands as I hold them.

@HailsandAles a most worthy aspiration! I hope you get this job of dreams some day 🫶

Caregiving is exhausting, both physically and emotionally. You must replenish your strength for your own wellbeing and that of the person you support. Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury.

"I'm so tired," said Tiny Dragon.
Big Panda smiled gently. "Nature has a season for all things -- beginning, growth, reflection and rest. We are part of nature, my little friend, and should not be afraid to follow her good example."
