How well do you know Islam?
There Were many incredible "cottage industries", and a rich history.
No, the most frustrating thing is that we've had the knowledge and solutions for decades
My dear friend Tasneem in Gaza is trying again with a Bluesky account, after having her previous accounts deleted. Like many of the displaced civilians, she relies on this platform to raise direct donations so she can feed her children. Please give to her and others. 🙏 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo
On that note, maybe I'll boycott the internet on Thursdays too... Reminder that it's buy nothing day today! Love you 😘
BBC News: "Israel intensifies Gaza City attacks as UN warns over displacement." Gaza is under siege and the civilians are starving, displaced and in peril. Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and obtain funds for new shelter. And help others. 💗 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo
Gonna be worried I didn’t write well enough to help this family enough today 💔
Mohammed is in a really dangerous place and needs to leave

Farting manically
Ruaa has sent me some absolutely terrifying videos of her are the past few days
A message from my friend Tasneem in Gaza whose family is forced to move again: "The cost of displacement if you want to move: 4000 shekel tent Transportation 3000 shekels Bathroom 1500 shekels Rent land on the tent 400 shekels per month!!" Please give to Tasneem and others. 🙏💔 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo
Dima had a really hard time uploading photos because of how poor the internet is where she is (and also she is very modest) but her fiancé sent me these photos from their engagement
I recall Paul Reuben as a highlight
If anyone has tips on how to keep hold of sanity with all this, that would be swell, because my mental health has been going down and we haven't even hit seasonal affective disorder yet.
between times
A message from my dear friend Tasneem. Gaza is under renewed and heavy attack. The civilians rely entirely on our donations to survive and feed their families. Please give to Tasneem and others. ❤️ tinyurl.com/Tasneemo
Just a horrible first sentence 💔
Darrin shared another picture of sweet little Lareen- they are in the process of being displaced again
Mohamed looks so thin- he’s been really struggling
I know it’s easy to blur all of this into one tragedy but this is a young couple who lost their ability to study while starting their lives and then their baby born into all this chaos was injured by shrapnel
Derby Kentucky?
The whole -ussy trend has really messed up the name Debussy for me.
Rateba’s sons barely escaped death in a massacre today. Mohammed sustained some injuries and she messaged me asking me to pray for him. I asked if she would also like me to share her link and she said yes- so if you’re inclined to offer prayers or help please do gofund.me/2790a0f8
Remember in the 1990s when we honestly thought things would get better when all the old fucks aged out of politics? Adorable, really
Ramadan messages me every day because he is displaced and he has two very young children and he needs help and he can’t keep an account here
Perfect Fess
Much like on Twitter, I desperately want to know what's going on in the now muted convo, Blueskyism is that I've not
Ninety minutes is god behaviour
I have no idea how Majd will evacuate without a wheelchair
Got this heartbreaking message from Hanadi this morning chuffed.org/project/1339...
💔♥️
Today could be a good day
Ahmed can’t keep an account on here but wanted to show people what is happening in his neighborhood that he’s trying to evacuate from chuffed.org/project/1426...
Random picture so things don't go badder
Ahmed lost his account but he needs to evacuate from the north
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Darin. Darin was studying business administration and her husband Fesal was studying accounting. Darin gave birth to their little girl Lareen during the war. They’ve lost everything and Lareen was injured by shrapnel recently. They need help ❤️
We're currently trying to raise an extra $850 to help Rania's family move south. You can donate to this specific part of her ongoing fundraising on my page here: chuffed.org/project/1460...
Yeah, I'm also Reform Blueish. We celebrate the big Hogidays, and will occasionally log in on a Friday night for the Nightsky rituals, but that's about it. If we still took the time to check out every clockface and honor every Yaltitty, we'd never get anything else done.
Le Monde: "Strikes across Gaza Strip kill at least 31. Residents now face the twin threats of combat and hunger." As Gaza faces another full assault, my friend Tasneem relies on donations to survive and feed her children, like many civilians. Please give to her and others. 🙏💕 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo
1/31 I believe there is growing evidence, that the White House is covering up the fact that Donald Trump has been dealing with TIA strokes. AND that he likely had a more significant ischemic stroke this week.
Ramadan still really needs help
Oh help these kids learn ❤️
Heavy metal poisoning due to low quality gold spray paint on the oval office decor. Just brainstorming for the timeline writers.
I know I’m not supposed to touch the works of art but I don’t know how else to nail you to the wall.
One thing about bluesky is there is an end to the feed . Refreshable, but still, an end.
"I can't locate collective white unconsciousness. These stories are interesting in an anthropological context, but mostly they apply to high school. there's some mishap involving a rodent or a member of the arachnid family, and the victim of this misadventure inevitably reacts negatively." - Leonard
I had seedless avocados in Peru. Shaped like long thumbs, you could just squeeze them into your mouth, or a less awesome receptacle.
With the stigma lightened, some Palestinians were able to identify to those aid groups as Jewish. I trusted it meant their faith was something they'd held close and hidden for decades but maybe they had other stories.
Now? Soldiers. There definitely were. Folks living loving and navigating checkpoints where they had different clearance than their family and friends. There were jewish aid groups, which helped separate "jewish" from the Palestinian experience of "Israeli". 1/

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
When Misk first messaged me she always was asking to raise money for school now she is trying to survive
I’m worried that if I don’t loudly express my opinions at every opportunity then nobody will remember me in 10,000 years

Just had a Twitter type experience. Except I was somehow the dummy being talked down to and about by "intellectuals" who referred to me as a "confused soul" for my adamant insistence of the existence of Palestinian Jews, and Jews in Gaza. The genocide and history of apartheid becomes academic.
Ruba is sweet and struggles to raise money
Tell that to Palestinian Jews It's fun to write me off as "confused" huh? Simply because my information is different? When we know the official Israeli version of history is different than the truth recognized by most historians?
I'm going to head out. There is another history than the one you folk know. I am tired of being talked down to and dismissed. "This person" is not "confused. Peace and good luck.
From folks on the ground. Communities working and living in Gaza. Jewish spouses married in.
I'm afraid some of you haven't had contact with folks in Gaza. There were absolutely Jewish folk there, of any definition I know of . I do not mean to imply I know more than a jewish person about cutler or faith or anything. I am aware there a at least two versions of the truth regarding Isreal.
And there were on Oct 7, 2023. So?
Me? I guess, I thought I had space to have a convo. I'd hate to be on the side of genocide and worse, digging in to old arguments to justify it. Respect to the Jewish faith, history and culture, fuck Zionism to Christian fundamentalist hell for all eternity.
Which ones? I've got more than a few?
Folks who self identify as Jewish (or Christian) and Arab and have lineage on the land predating the formation of Isreal.
I'm begging my respected Jewish brethren to not justify genocide. I'm well versed in the history of the country, and better versed in the cultures of the region. Nothing negates the existence of Palestinian Jews Christian's and muslims. Nothing justifies the horrors of the formation of isreal
There are Palestinian Christians and Jews, there have always been Palestinian Christians and Jews in Gaza, there are still Palestinians in Gaza ergo, there are probably still Palestinian Jews and christians in Gaza.
How did all of the Jewish Gazans escape Gaza?
Um reality Why wouldn't there be Palestinian Jews in Gaza?
But there are ?
“Netanyahu quotes Amalek, not the Talmud, sorry” is a Not Even Wrong line I'm going to remember for a while
In the early aughts one of my teachers referred to computers as "brain prostheses". I think about that a lot these days.

This flower is called "Queen of the Night." It blossoms only at night once a year.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

One reason for Democrats to ditch their reflex to say "You have a point" to the other side is the right wing hasn't had a good point about anything in most of our lifetimes

Isn't today the day Starmer declares Palestine a state? He said September
❤️ help Ahmad if you can
I didn't fish this morning but I'm sure this one did.
Annie Lennox, Susan Sarandon and Lucy Lawless all stand with Palestine - my youthful crushes were also an excellent politics radar
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Najla. Najla is the mother of 3 children, Reema, 14, Saif, 10 and Mohammed, 7. Before this Najla was studying psychology. She lost her university, her home and also her dear mother. Najla has a really bad ear and toothache and needs care.
