Israel is holding more hostages than Hamas.

Israel holds thousands of Palestinians as de facto hostages. According to the Israel Prison Service, 3,661 of its 9,312 “security” inmates are held without charge or trial as “administrative detainees.”

What’s administrative detention? B’Tselem explains:

“In administrative detention, a person is held without trial without having committed an offense, on the grounds that he or she plans to break the law in the future. As this measure is supposed to be preventive, it has no time limit. The person is detained without legal proceedings, by order of the regional military commander, based on classified evidence that is not revealed to them. This leaves the detainees helpless – facing unknown allegations with no way to disprove them, not knowing when they will be released, and without being charged, tried or convicted.”

"Israel routinely uses administrative detention and has, over the years, placed thousands of Palestinians behind bars for periods ranging from several months to several years, without charging them, without telling them what they are accused of, and without disclosing the alleged evidence to them or to their lawyers.”

As pride month begins, let us not forget our Palestinian brothers and sisters.

No, it's sad because this is Laios's perception of how things would have gone. This is how he thinks everyone would have dealt with it if it had been him; nobody could possibly care for him enough to try and save him. He thinks he's that disposable.

Yes, such a claim makes him look like a small-minded piece of shit. To us. But we still shouldn't help Musk create revisionist history.

Musk bought Twitter because he fucked around and found out. He wanted to fuck with Twitter's stock price by feigning interest in buying it. Since that's illegal, he was then cornered into actually buying it for an insanely inflated price.

He's a transphobe. He's a bad father. But he's also a fucking idiot.

This. Please remember that he committed blatant market manipulation by not disclosing that he owned shares of Twitter when he was fucking with the stock market. The SEC was watching him very closely already, and so when the cost became more than what the entire company was worth, he had no choice. Remember when he had his gaggle of lawyers try to get him out of it by saying Twitter didn't disclose all of the information? That wasn't Twitter, it was him trying desperately to get out of a purchase he didn't want in the first place.

Fellas, is it gay to get down on one knee, ask for another man's hand, and give him a ring as proof of your vow?

Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.

I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

HELP WHILE Ao3 IS DOWN SOME PEOPLE ARE POSTING FICS IN THE DOWNDETECTOR COMMENTS 😭😭😭

I’M SCREAMING

[lurkinglurkerwholurks]

AO3 has been down all day due to a malicious (deliberate) DDoS attack. As a reminder, they are a volunteer team working on fixing this, so if you've been at all flustered, irritated, or upset today that you can't access AO3, consider this your cue to float them a donation.

Seriously. Mark a reminder in your phone, on your to-do, or however you remember future tasks. When the site is back up, send them a couple bucks.
