Qat Jr. was making a LOT of noise during this morning’s talk, so I wanted to troubleshoot before the next one I’m doing here in a bit.

At first, it seemed like his regular…

… “breakdancing in the litter box” nonsense
But on further examination, I learn…

HE’S DIGGING HIS POOP OUT TO USE AS A SOCCER BALL.

Thankfully, I’ve got enough time to clean this up and lock him in another room for my next speaking engagement.
Wrapped up a long, long day with a last-ditch “please let this wear him out so he doesn’t breakdance in the litter box or play rugby with his poop” effort.

Tonight, we took Hex on a walk to the pool.

(And I swear to God he’s already even bigger than yesterday - AGAIN). ImageImageImageImage
How. The. Hell. Is. This. Mammoth. Only. Four. Months. Old. Image
Left: me holding baby baked bean at 3 months old

Right: him next to my partner’s size 12 foot at four months old - tonight

(I know Savannah cats are supposed to be giant but I’m beginning to think he’s a Shetland pony or something.) ImageImage
In case you’re wondering why I’m so freaked out by his growth rate, let me show you the (probable) future about which I’m in denial.

No, we didn’t realize when we adopted him that this…

…is what his parents and grandparents are.

😬 ImageImageImageImage
Hostilities have escalated with Qat Jr., and I was forced to arm myself.

I’ll keep you posted. Image

If you recognize the impact of past trauma on your life, it is YOUR responsibility to get help for and resolve it.

It’s not fair. It’s not easy.

But it’s the only ethical path for yourself and others — anything less and you have zero room to whine about past abuse.
If you have the self-awareness to recognize how others’ actions harmed you in ways that ripple into your present:

You very clearly know you need help.

Intentionally not seeking that help is cowardly or masochistic at best — or sadistic.

That’s… bad.
“Hurt people hurt people” is not a helpful phrase.

Hurt people who WANT to hurt people because people hurt them — they’re the ones who hurt people.

Replicating that crap just means you allow abusers lifelong control your life.

Why the hell let them win?

Internal Wix messages “encouraged staff to support Israel’s ‘narrative’ in Hamas conflict,” specifically advising them to “‘show Westernity’ in social media posts backing Israel, as ‘unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans.’” irishtimes.com/ireland/2023/1…
I’m just going to repeat a key point here.

Wix employees were specifically encouraged to “show Westernity” in pro-Israel social media posts, underscoring that Israelis “unlike the Gazans, look and live like Europeans and Americans.”

There’s an apt adjective for this: racist.
I’ll go ahead and be a bit more blunt with my translation:

“Make sure your pro-Israel posts are as white as possible and emphasize that people in Gaza are brown so we have to kill them if we want a Disneyland in the Middle East”

Extremely brief thread and then I’m eating sleeping pills and praying for a few hours of unconsciousness.
Here goes: on #Gaza, amplifying Palestinian voices, and interview requests.

If you’re already here, you’re no doubt aware that while I fail relentlessly in all things, I do like to try to live up to the ethical standards I set for myself.

That said:

I’ve publicly stated here and on other platforms that I won’t be doing any media interviews on Gaza, and request that Palestinians be contacted instead.

Regardless of one’s political stance on this conflict, it is a fact that Palestinian voices are far less covered.

If I’m quiet for a few more days, please understand that I’m completely drained from everything going on offline — especially from people I haven’t heard from in literal decades hitting me up “because you have a PhD” for “your perspective” on all of this.
I can’t say I’m familiar with this person’s work (apologies), but this is accurate, and it sucks that such a statement is controversial.

For now, what I will say is that I guarantee 99.9% of the commentary you’re consuming — especially on here — is shit, and the loudest voices (as per usual) are generally those who know the least about historical and geopolitical contexts that ABSOLUTELY matter.

I’m not about to get sucked into any debates on Palestine / Israel right now, but what I will tell you as a geopolitical analyst vis-a-vis the hawks calling for war with Iran:

Iranian nationalism is nothing to take lightly - any such scenario would be disastrous for ALL parties.
The other thing that I will say (and believe me it gives me less than zero joy) concerns Hamas’ latest statement concerning the potential execution of civilian hostages.
Hamas’ desperation in laying out this ultimatum - that Israel stop bombing Gaza civilians or Hamas will execute Israeli civilian hostages because “that’s the only language Israel understands” (paraphrased) is a very bad sign.

Reminder: check on your trans folks.

And Muslims, y’all know more than anyone what it’s like to be expected to apologize or explain the actions of someone in a diverse community to which you happen to belong.

Empathy, support, and solidarity — now, more than ever.
It doesn’t matter if you “don’t understand being trans.”

I don’t either — because it’s not my struggle.

But I know this: Ramadan is about compassion, mercy, and fighting base impulses like judgment. Don’t forget that.
I'm on day 2 of an all-nighter trying to finish writing this case study / profile of Dylann Roof --

-- whose actions were not considered representative of an entire community.

Before that, I wrote about Tres Genco.
Before that, James Reardon.
Before that, Patrick Crusius.
