Well, its needed earlier than hoped for but its almost been sitting for a month and is definitely looking ready!

Please, do not stop talking about #sudan. They are facing a #genocide under the same circumstances that we have faced and are facing in #gaza
A genocide through an internal civil war that the entire world is afraid to stop.

They have been subjected to #starvation and siege since April 2024, and any person who smuggles a handful of food inside the city is killed by #rsf

Please be aware.
Please do not finance #terrorism and do not support terrorism under any nationality or any mask it wears.

Ten years ago, this condition was still regularly ridiculed and treated as a joke.

Five years ago, the idea of the condition being anything other than a dx of exclusion was not even considered.

Now we have a blood test for it.

Blood test developed that can diagnose ME/CFS with 96% accuracy. Links to long Covid found. Epigenetic connection confirmed (it's how the test works).

the #FBI is now officially visiting the homes of people spotted at protests like #NoKings, #ICE, etc.

it boggles the mind that there are people at #protests in the US who, upon finding #FBI agents at their door asking “do you have a few minutes to talk about the protests?” answer with anything other than “do you have a warrant?” followed by a polite request that they leave your property.

this isn’t complicated. you need to shut the fuck up. the #5thAmendment exists for a reason. shutting the fuck up cannot be used against you, for any reason, ever. not shutting the fuck up will never help you. it can only hurt you.

any false statement to the FBI can be charged as a crime. even if you just forgot. even if you mix up the order of events. even if you tell the truth but the agents find another person whose story contradicts yours. even if you tell the truth but the agents misremember what you said (!!!).

talking to the FBI is much more legally perilous than talking to the police (and you shouldn’t do that either). talking to Kash Patel's FBI is far more perilous than talking to the old FBI.

i know it’s hard. you want to be helpful. you think if you stay silent they'll find you suspicious. you want to explain yourself. it’s a very natural human thing and that’s exactly what they’re going to use against you. so here’s a helpful script you can follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqo5RYOp4nQ

literally every single lawyer in the united states will tell you exactly what i’m telling you now. tell a friend. tell all your friends. tell random people you see on the street.

and shut. the. fuck. up.

don't be like this guy, who helpfully stepped out of his house to chat with the FBI outside the range of audio recording for most of an hour: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/video-fbi-agents-visit-anti-ice-protester

I always forget to make flu/cold remedies until its already flu/cold season.
Its best if this sits for a few months, hopefully its not needed before then anyways.

How old is Greta Thunberg now?

How is it that such a vast percentage of the population NEVER manage to connect the dots between colonialism, capitalism, and the destruction of the biosphere?

Like never in their entire lifetimes.

Huh.
I guess there's some truth to that old adage that you can't expect someone to understand something if their livelihood depends on them NOT understanding it.
😉

But you do you.
Keep expending your life force propping up a corrupt and festering system.

I was corrected for saying “real name” when I meant “legal name.” So, a reminder:

Your LEGAL name is a name that identifies you for official purposes.

Your REAL name is the name by which a practitioner of the occult arts could conjure you in a summoning circle and bind you to complete a task.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

https://survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

I know shes using it to be a target but she seems to not realize some of us use that proudly as a symbol of resistence and liberation🔻

"Why does it say the hospital is equipped for stroke emergency? We were there. They denied!"

"Maybe you should contact them that their website is wrong. This is dangerous."

"It wasn't on their website..."
*starts googling a specific question*
"Weird now it says no instead of yes."

I go to take a look and realise with horror, yes: Google AI summary.

Google AI summary made my parents-in-law visit the wrong, unequipped hospital for a potential stroke emergency. 🙃

"I did this yesterday," he explained, as he fell down for the third time.

An old puffin photo from my visit to Látrabjarg in Westfjords, Iceland, back in May 2019. I think the little white flower made the photo. Oh, and the cute puffin feet!

It was anarchy out there. The neighbours had organised a block party and the house at number five was giving away lemonade.

@are0h yes, yes it has. canada hides racism, that's what canadians are better at.

during Black History Month, we were taught the usual liberal USA crap that you're used to, but devoid of even more context. NOTHING about what canada did. nothing about the people who lived in Africville, and who razed it because white people started getting antsy. nothing about the Black ranch farmers of Saskatchewan. just "here's some MLK stuff, don't be racist bye!". not even anything about what the Rev. Dr. did, nor what the Civil Rights movement was all about, just photos, a few speeches, and a very superficial "racism bad".

now, canada has spent the last 20 years or so establishing this "polite" narrative (i don't remember hearing it before that) to put a big white robe over the whole white supremacy thing, just don't look too closely or you might see the KKK badges.

Alanis Obomsawin's documentary "Kanehsatake: 270 Years Of Resistance" shows many examples of what white canada really is, and it is not a lot different from how Israeli settlers behave. the events of that film only took place in 1990.

ICE is attacking immigrants for now, but their goal is to subjugate all of us. Fighting for our neighbors today is a way of fighting for ourselves tomorrow.

Map the infrastructure that ICE depends on. Publicize their vulnerabilities. Popularize simple, reproducible ways to impose consequences every time that ICE inflicts harm on a community. Don't just react to their attacks—choose the time and place of confrontations. Take the initiative.

"If we know, and do nothing, we are worse than the murderers hired in our name.

"If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own—which it is—and render impassable with our bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night."

-James Baldwin, writing to Angela Davis while she was in captivity, November 19, 1970
