This will be a thread of the latest stuff happening with Israel and various other countries. Please be advised that the CW will change depending on actions / words spoken. Focusing first on Lebanon.

Israel uses white phosphorus on Al Khiyam in populated areas (today). That directly poisons Lebanon's soil.

Israel has also killed a Hezbollah leader via drone strike. Tension is high as Hezbollah launched drones at a military facility in Israel, injuring 14 soliders and killing 3. (Past few days to today)

Lebanon neither welcomes or denounces the strike Iran did on Israel as retaliation for Israel's strike on Iran's embassy.

I have yet to see Israel state genocidal intent towards Lebanon. I have seen some statements like that for Iran though (next focus)

The research gap around periods (menstruation) is beginning to be filled. Yay!

Also, STEM misogyny can suck it.

Google making it very clear they are siding with tyranny.

My pandemic blanket has reached 210 squares! It is now wide enough, it only needs to get longer so my feet don't stick out when I'm stretched out on the couch.

It's clearly big enough for the dog though!

Mekka's post reminds me of a point I've seen made many times, namely that right wing critiques are almost always projection. For example, the big lie about the Dems supposedly "stealing" the election was in reality rhetorical cover for Trump to steal the election.

It really fucks with me sometimes to think about how white supremacist complaints about DEI are the same way. The real "DEI" is whiteness, placing mediocre people in positions of power and influence since the creation of race.

I can't tell you how many incompetent white folks I've been around before, especially white men. They are celebrated for the bare minimum while we have to prove our worth many times over, constantly.

Another example is "affirmative action" college admissions vs legacies, nepo babies, the list goes on.

So the next time you see someone being nasty about DEI, kindly let them know that white folks couldn't survive without unfair preferential treatment. Remember, you can't have "underprivileged" without over-privileged! One requires the other.

If you're in the US and want to get it cheaper - B&N apparently has 25% off pre-orders for the next two days which includes my new queer regency rom-com(ic). The sale is for members, but membership is free

Also. Haven’t talked about these publicly yet, but just noticed the B&N page now also has the couple of incredibly nice reviews the book's got from creators I really respect!!!! Still VERY surreal and mindblowing tbh

I just got my third flat tire in the past six months. Am I cursed?

I don't know if it can be patched or not. I won't be able to check in until Thursday

A friend helped me change the tire but god I'm a mess

Mutual aid appreciated rn

Hey friends (especially in Portland!) - a friend of mine asked me to pass this #MutualAidRequest along. https://www.gofundme.com/f/post-release-help-for-vibez

Excited to announce that "Lives of the early Medici, as told in their correspondence" by Janet Ross is now available for you to read and find any last errors before it's published on project gutenberg! You can check it out here: https://www.pgdp.net/c/project.php?id=projectID5e90930bd8330

Putting this together was significantly more complicated than any of the previous ebooks I've worked on so I'd appreciate if you could at least scroll thru the html version and go "wow that looks like a lot of work"

Police in Syracuse and towns for like 40 miles on I-90 shut down traffic for a police officer funeral procession, which fine, whatever, but if a protester caused a 40 mile traffic jam it'd be national news for a week

Can we help a Black trans woman avoid eviction?

Her current employer is being liquidated and she hasn't been paid.

Her landlord just threatened to evict her of she doesn't pay by tonight. Very little warning was given about this- this occurred less than an hour ago.

Goal is $950 by TONIGHT. Boost as much as possible.

Here we go!

What's hidden inside is a lot of tied ends, and that I've put a big patch underneath the pockets because the corners of those looked about ready to tear (like patch pockets always do).
