Israel is committing genocide.
Israel is committing ethnic cleansing.
Palestinians have said it while trying to survive it.
Israeli leaders have said it while they commit it.
If you support Israel you support genocide. Period. You're not for freedom if you're not for Palestine.

"cardiac arrest" doesn't mean a heart attack, it just means the heart stopped. It's a vague unhelpful thing that ends up on official death reports for various reasons. All this to say: Julie Powell's husband may have just been reporting what he was officially told, not trying to cover up a real reason for her death. It's probably very unclear still what exactly happened.

Fixed it for you @nytimes but also wtf Literally the definition of slavery and then an immediate backtrack to try to make it a matter of opinion. US fragility/hero complex at its absolute worst.

Comedians: NOTHING IS SACRED EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE
People: so we can make fun of you for not being funny, punching down and using the same tired jokes as always and bullying people?!
Comedians: COMEDY IS SACRED YOU CANNOT DO THAT ouch my feelings I've known actual edgelords with better material than some of these folks getting million dollar specials to be ass hats with a megaphone and that is not a compliment

Speaking of this, someone tried to beef with me over a two year old tweet the other day LMAOO I decided it’s only fair that I also give myself two years to formulate a response :-) when I do it’ll be super nice tho! I’m actually very nice! And anyway, nothing worse than old beef! Why would I engage in old beef when there’s delicious succulent short ribs waiting to be reheated in my fridge, ya know??

Look, I am 41 years old. I got books to write and diapers to change. Theeee only beef I have any interest in is the short ribs my wife made for Thanksgiving. they were absolutely fucking delicious. Juicy. Tender. So much flavor. Just melted off the bone. My god. Anyway that’s not the point…

It's been three (3) years and people are still using the success of BP to pretend institutional power doesn't matter in conversations about racism. Please stop this. Image That article is complicated for a number of reasons but it's part of an already long tradition of people, usually fellow nbpoc, using one movie's success to flatten much more complex institutional power dynamics and act like antiblackness & colorism are over. They're not.

I miss the gym but everytime the covid numbers start looking vaguely cute these beavisses start working out maskless and I’m not cool being in a closed space with a bunch of huffing puffing barefaced beavi. Not yet. Sorry to this sixpack *Both beavi and beavisses are acceptable pluralizations of beavis, i checked with Vocabulary Jesus.

And Luke Skywalker 💀 not to prove his point but this speech may be my supervillain origin story According to that logic he must be astonished that the entirety of women haven't been on a several millennia long crime spree 😔

This racism in fandom shit has been so ongoing and here's an earlier example of how industry professionals can sometimes make it worse in the name of PR
nbcnews.com/news/asian-ame… That type of mess is why I so appeciated this point from @cutiepiesensei -- stop telling people how to deal with the hate they get, aka their trauma. It's not up to someone who's not receiving it to dictate how folks who are respond. 💙

What’s the word for being simultaneously glad that all these people with huge platforms are finally alarmed about what has obviously been in the works all along and disgusted that it took the guy who has been lying to us the whole time saying it out loud for them to believe it The lying guy said it, and so NOW you are a-concerned. That is a choice.
