I feel like the last 4 years has been a warm up to condition society to accept that large groups of non rich people either dying or becoming impoverished anywhere in the world is actually a very good thing for the economy and we shouldn’t be so squeamish about it. 😖

Exactly two months ago, children in Gaza held a press conference in english to beg the world to stop the bombardment. More than 12,000 children have been killed since then. No one listened.

Some of the oldest churches in the entire world were in Gaza — and they now lie in rubble, people sheltering inside them, murdered — by Israel, and by Biden's unlimited deliverance of bombs. If a church is not a place to cry for righteousness, then what is it?

can't get a doctor or dentist appt and bins are left rotting and the roads are destroyed and you can't afford childcare or food or heating and there's no funding for the arts or mental health but we are about to go to fucking war in Yemen to ensure Israel can continue a genocide

Not to be a downer, but there’s something sad about people showing up by the hundreds of thousands, voters expressing their disagreement w the admin in polls, and the nevertheless vanishing likelihood that the US government does anything to change course. It’s not a democracy.

is it finally time for people to actually face legal consequences for the sexually predatory shit they say on the internet or will it be ignored once again

The wealthy will sacrifice the world to maintain their wealth. We have to sacrifice the wealthy to maintain our world.

'This Palestine thing is just virtue signalling'. Staying silent during the mass murder of tens of thousands in real time, just to protect your piece of shit career, is just 'I'm a piece of shit' signalling.

According to estimations from the Norwegian Refugee Council, clearing the rubble alone will take one year Anyone who entertains the idea that this isn't one of the worst violations of the Geneva Convention in modern history is a liar, a fool, or both

Belgium is one of the Western countries that has refused to cut funding to UNRWA. So Israel just bombed the office of the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in #Gaza. This is a direct result of the impunity Washington has provided Israel.

For me, this will be one of the defining images of the genocide. Israelis blocking trucks from being loaded with aid for Gaza. Look at their hands outstretched, smiles on their faces, imagining themselves at the forefront of a glorious movement to starve people to death.

i havent looked at twitter for more than 5 mins in months. tbh i kind of forgot about its existence. the idea that i once spent hours a day on here is incomprehensible to me. the world is still bleak but feels 30-50 percent less so whenever im not on here. get out!

Sending compassion to every complex trauma survivor who remains in a freeze state due to the news, the world, the inundation with constant triggering information that your mind and body is trying to navigate. Do what you have to do to respect that response.

on vit sur une magnifique planète mais pourquoi a-t-il fallu qu’elle soit peuplée par des monstres ?

We need to normalize finding love in your 40's, chasing new dreams in your 30's and finding yourself and your purpose in your 50's. Life doesn't end at 25. Let's stop acting like it does.

Having disabilities/health conditions/neurodiversity/mental illness etc Really radicalises you about how unfair the world is It seeps into everything How just inaccesible everything is How systemic faults are put on individual failure Perversely and consistently violent

I want to live so badly it’s so unfair. I don’t want to be trapped in my own body. I want to run, see the world beyond my room, talk to people and laugh with them...It’s been so long that the memories feel like something I imagined rather than real

You’re not allowed to complain about a lack of beauty and intellect in the world if you refer to the arts and humanities as useless basket-weaving or something of the like by the way

going through the end of the world mostly alone is so hard. i miss having friends so much.
