A [Céad Ainm an TD (TD's first name)], a chara,

Tá súil agam go bhfuil tú go maith. Mar shaoránach atá an-imníoch faoin mhéid atá ag titim amach sa Mheánoirthear faoi láthair, ba mhaith liom mo chuid imní a léiriú faoi cheist atá fíorthábhachtach go domhanda agus go morálta: cuir i bhfeidhm Choinbhinsiúin na Ginéive.

Tá sé soiléir go bhfuil Iosrael ag sárú Airteagail 54 de Choinbhinsiúin na Ginéive, go háirithe maidir le cosaint an phobail shibhialta i nGaza. 

Ba chóir d'Éirinn - tír a bhfuil traidisiún láidir aici maidir le cosaint chearta an duine agus an dlí idirnáisiúnta - seasamh láidir a thógáil ar an cheist seo agus a chinntiú go gcloíonn gach náisiún le coinbhinsiúin na Ginéive agus le conarthaí idirnáisiúnta.

Iarraim go measúil ort:

• Ceist ar sháruithe ar chearta daonna agus ar dhlíthe idirnáisiúnta a ardú i nDáil Éireann, le béim ar fhreagracht Éireann chun seasamh le agus cosaint a thabhairt do phrionsabail Choinbhinsiúin na Ginéive.

• Comhoibriú le heagraíochtaí idirnáisiúnta, go háirithe leis na Náisiúin Aontaithe, chun fhiosrúcháin chuimsitheacha a dhéanamh ar líomhaintí maidir le sáruithe atá déanta ag Iosrael ar an dlí idirnáisiúnta.

• Tacú le hiarrachtaí taidhleoireachta chun a chinntiú go gcloíonn gach páirtí sa choimhlint Iosraelach-Palaistíneach le Coinbhinsiúin na Ginéive.

Creidim go bhféadfadh le hÉirinn ról lárnach a imirt i gcur chun cinn na síochána agus seasamh leis an dlí idirnáisiúnta. Iarraim ort do ghlór mar ionadaí tofa a úsáid trí seasamh leis na luachanna uilíocha seo agus iad a chosaint.

Tá mé buíoch as an mhéid atá déanta agat go dtí seo le haird a tharraingt ar an t-éagóir atá a déanamh ar mhuintir na Pailistine.

Le meas,

[D'Ainm Iomlán (Your Full name)]

Sibling dynamics are kind of an untapped gold mine in media. Relationships between siblings can be so weird. We experienced the same childhood but in very different ways. I helped raise you. You helped raise me. You’re the only person I’ve ever really punched. You drive me fucking crazy but if anyone ever hurt you I’d chase them to the ends of the earth. You’re the only one who understands what it was like to see our parents slowly come to hate one another. Stop stealing my fucking socks.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

So I just saw the most incredible production of Macbeth that wove parental grief into the whole regicide plot in such a fascinating way.

So at the very beginning of the play there was a scene where Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are at a funeral as the primary mourners. A stretcher is carried on with a covered body. The body was notably very small. They laid flowers on it and Macbeth immediately left for battle.

Now *I* studied Shakespeare in college so I immediately knew there is one single line that implies that the Macbeths lost a child at some point. Most of the time this isn't utilized in productions; it's just a throwaway line, intended to paint just how determined Lady M is for this regicide thing to work and how furious she is that her husband has cold feet. In this production she delivers "I have given suck, and know how tender tis to love the babe that milks me" nearly in tears. She takes a moment to steel herself before saying, "I would while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums and dashed the brains pit, had I so sworn" and she very nearly SCREAMED this in Macbeth's face.

Also noted was how the Macbeths looked at Macduff's children. Lady M was clutching her heart, nearly breaking watching them embrace their parents. Macbeth could not even look at them.

At the end of Lady Macbeth's plot, when she is sleepwalking and sleeptalking, she is typically portrayed as speaking to no one or to her husband. However, at a certain point of her monologue she got on her knees, raised her voice to a comforting octave, and began miming tear wiping, hand holding, hair and face stroking, around a child-sized figure. "Wash your hands, put on your nightgown, look not so pale. I tell you yet again, Banquo’s buried; he cannot come out on’s grave." Then she stands and appears to take the child's hand. "Go to bed, go to bed. I can hear knocking at the gate-" then she looks down and realizes that no one is there, followed be the most heartbreaking shriek I've ever heard followed by a full minute of her just weeping while curled up on the floor before she stood up, finished her monologue and left the stage.

Most of the time when the loss of a child is utilized in a performance or adaptation, it is assumed that the child was an infant and lost some time ago. To imply that the child died IMMEDIATELY prior to the events of the play and had been cared for and loved by their parents for a few years adds such a fascinating layer to the desperation to ascend to the throne, Lady M's madness, and Macbeth's initial hesitation into "in for a penny, in for a pound" attitude, Macbeth's fury that Banquo's, not his, children will take the throne, and even Macbeth's eventual demise following a frenzied final battle.

How far will grief push you to fill a hole? How far will grief push you to desperation? And what happens when none of your new pursuits are filling the void left by the one you lost? And what happens when you realize you have nothing left to lose?

It was a PHENOMENAL production.

i finally started watching all dnp videos in chronological order and it’s so satisfying seeing everything come together. like, phil receives lion, then lioness; theyre in the end screen now. he receives a drawing of himself naked—boom. draw phil naked. dan just moved to manchester? he’s in videos all the time now. also get to see where so many pics ive seen came from. it’s so cool to see the origins of everything as a post-hl phannie just barely doing my phannie homework:)

the era of phil including a billion personal photos in his videos was everything phil please bring it back pls pls pls pls

also yeah it never stops being funny that phil never once introduced dan in any capacity like he just showed up one day and became a main character forever

I started thinking about that one post about how from dogs POV humans are beings that live like 500+ years (because I was petting my dog and I was looking at her like “thirty thousand years of cooperation have led to this. our species have spent 30k years building up to the point where you, child of wolf, descendant of noble hunters and wild things,  would come all the way out of the office and come sit with me in the hopes of letting a souped up monkey rub its paws on you”)

and then I thought about what it must have been like for the first humans to let a fucking wolf, maybe only a few generations from the wild, behold their infant child. Like man can u believe that? Maybe this alliance is only a few years old and sure you’ve seen the wolf’s kids but now you’ve got one of your own. And even though you’ve seen this wolf tear out the throats of creatures that could kill you, this wolf is your family. This wolf is your friend, you love them and they love you and you gotta show ‘em the new kid, look, friend, I had a child. I know you are wild and dangerous, but look at this, my most precious thing, sniff him, give him a lil lick, his children and your children will be bound together for thirty thousand fucking years because I love you

There’s a set of  preserved footprints from 30k years ago that is a young child and a wolf standing side by side can you fucking imagine? Maybe the kid’s mom was like “hey go get some water from the stream, but take the wolf with you. I trust him, he will protect you.”

It’s wild how there are so many things that make me want to die but if I can listen to music on my headphones while I do it it’s like oh okay this is fine actually

Today I wanted to talk about Kyle Bassinga. Kyle was a 21 year old man from Georgia, whose family described him as "a kind, thoughtful, and smart young man who loved nature, music, and the people around him". Kyle Bassinga was killed on February 18th 2026, just ten days after his birthday. He was found hanging from a tree in a park.

The police ruled it a suicide. The family and local community demanded an investigation. The police refused to change their ruling.

I know this website it too white for this to really go anywhere, but an understanding of the present reality of white supremacy in the United States is just so important to transfeminism here. Lynchings never stopped, white supremacy never went away, you just stopped looking.
