You’re teleported to 44 BCE Rome in your everyday street clothes. You’re brought before Caesar and he believes you might be from the future, hoping to bring him fortune. One day he questions you, asking “How Do I Die?”

This is top-tier comedy, and anyone who says otherwise has no class.

[text ID: The fact that the ruling class now knows exactly how to force through a genocide in the 21st century means nobody, anywhere, is safe 'Nobody is free until everybody is free' is not some fluffy little slogan; it is a measure of an undeniable reality in which injustice connects us all /end ID]

I want more people to know that while the Palestine Olympic team consists of only 8 athletes, at least 69 Palestinian Olympic athletes have been killed since October 2023. This includes athletes who were going to compete in these games and retired athletes such as Majed Abu Maraheel, the first Palestinian Olympian, who died of kidney failure in a refugee camp product of lack of medical treatment.

Remember them during these games.

We Volunteered at a Gaza Hospital. What We Saw Was Unspeakable.

American surgeons who witnessed the civilian carnage of the Israel-Hamas war.

Dear God. This is one of the most horrifying things I think I’ve ever read.

”I know Israel is going to kill me. I just wish they would get it over with, sooner or later.”

This is what slow genocide is.

It’s the end of a soul and the human spirit.

[image description: a tweet from sassy seminary student that says, “new rule I am telling boys who say ‘men don’t cry’ are committing a christological heresy.” There is a screenshot of a text exchange where the first person says, “I’m a man, I don’t cry” the responder says in three text responses, “Jesus wept, you’re saying Jesus wasn’t really a man huh? Interesting.” End description.]

as is tradition I would like to wish a happy pride month specifically to this Indian guy I used to work with who came SPRINTING to find me when there was some buzz in India about gay marriage being legalized (this was in like 2018ish, it's sadly ended up not panning out) to ECSTATICALLY say "you know what this means??? it means men better start acting better, or their wives are going to leave them for women!!!" he was so excited for all of these hypothetical women who were about to finally leave their loser husbands and lez out. that's a true ally, I hope he's thriving wherever he is.
