This is what ALL academics and feminists should be doing -being in strong solidarity with the Palestinian people. Everyone else who has been silent or vocal about supporting imperialism, terrorism, and setterlism -you're complicit in this genocide.

Thank god they brought back An Amount Of Daylight That Makes You Want To Live. It was getting a bit scary for a minute there.

it’s cause you’re always on that damn yellow parenti video

Been spending all morning thinking about Aaron Bushnell, specifically after seeing a timeline of his life that said "1999-2024".

That timeline is shorter than mine, which is "1998-2024". Mine started earlier, but gets to keep going while his does not. How unfair for him. How terrifying.

After that, I thought about the timelines of the tens of thousands of murdered Palestinian children, whose timelines were made much shorter. They would look something like "2014-2023", "2019-2024", "2023-2024", cutoff shorter than mine, or Aaron's, or yours. I'm sure that's something Aaron was thinking about too.

But ours gets to keep going. How unfair to them. How terrifying.

That's why the living cannot stop talking about them. Because each of those timelines represents a life that created love for others and was loved in turn, and it illustrates the many years that were robbed from them.

Much as we must hold their anger in our hearts, we must remember in carrying out the change they didn't get to see that we do so because we protect what we love, not because we choose to destroy what we hate.

iran has the right to defend itself

No Middle Eastern country has attacked Israel since Iraq did in 1991. That Iran has seemingly now initiated a drone assault represents a radical shift, one that the Israeli ruling class has earned through its wild, genocidal transgressions against both Palestinians and against any countries seen to be supportive of them.
