Day 1 of teaching my students how to tie a tie. They pick out one they like, I teach them how to tie it, they do it themselves, and then they get to keep the tie! Thank you for your donations, these are the lessons that can’t be measured by standardized tests or grades.

Don’t like people wearing watermelon pins at your shitty medical conference? Don’t care. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” makes you feel scared? Don’t care. Seeing Palestinian flags on university campuses upsets you? Don’t care. A student calling Israel an apartheid state hurts your little feelings? Don’t care. A doctor speaking publicly about Palestinian children being massacred feels “divisive” to you? Fuck you. People refusing to condemn Palestinian resistance makes you uneasy? Don’t care. Hearing the word “genocide” feels inflammatory to you? Don’t care. A keffiyeh in a workplace gives you a panic attack? Don’t care. “Globalise the intifada” sounds genocidal to you? Don’t care. People interrupting politicians feels disrespectful to you? Don’t care. You no longer being able to monopolise victimhood makes you angry? Truly could not care less. What I care about are the Palestinian children being burned alive. The doctors being tortured. The families erased under rubble. The starvation. The concentration camps. The destruction of Gaza’s hospitals and universities and refugee camps and entire civilian infrastructure. But for the nearly last 1,000 days and decades prior, Western institutions have demanded everyone stop and carefully tend to Jewish emotional discomfort instead. Not Palestinian lives. Not Palestinian suffering. Not Palestinian speech. Zionist discomfort. Zionist fragility. Zionist political sensitivity—elevated, enforced, and institutionalised across universities, hospitals, media outlets, professional associations, politicians, donors, and advocacy groups. All working in sync to transform Zionist discomfort into institutional emergency. While Palestinian suffering is rendered invisible. While Palestinian speech is disciplined. While Palestinian humanity is treated as negotiable. That is the function of the Jewish Feelings Industrial Complex. Not safety. Not care. Not protection. Institutionalised Zionist emotional management at scale. Fuck every single institution that constantly weaponizes “Jewish safety,” “Jewish discomfort,” and “Jewish feelings” to justify censorship, repression, career destruction, anti-Palestinian racism, and silence in the face of mass atrocity. If a watermelon pin destabilises you more than the annihilation of Gaza, the problem is not the watermelon pin. The problem is you. -- from "The Anti-Zionist" patreon.com/posts/awww-your-…

"Linen is for summer, wool is for winter" Not true. Fabric weight and weave matter more than fiber. A lightweight, open weave wool will wear cooler than a heavy, dense linen. To find comfortable clothes for summer, consider fabric weight, fabric weave, and garment construction.

I wanted to run the London Marathon but training takes too long and is too hard as a pudgy 47yo woman, so I got an Uber to the finish line. It's not fair that athletic people get to gatekeep long-distance running. I'm still a Marathon runner! This is what AI 'writers' sound like

In our village next to the pub there is an old phone box which the locals have restored and made it into a help yourself library. Georgia and I are the librarians (our garage is full of books). I have just been up to grab a pint and check the book shelves and found this.

I’m going to sleep, if I’m cancelled by Americans overnight please make sure the controversy is called cunt-gate

If you wanted to teach those high school kids what gauche is, show them that

In the midst of war, the voice that is the least heard is the one that says that there might have been another way of doing things other than killing tens and thousands of innocent civilians.

We did it!! Our internet hate campaign against the Laurehurst community has stopped these rich assholes from governing how often and under what circumstances children can be flown to the Seattle's Children Hospital for emergency medical care. Great job, everyone!! king5.com/article/news/local…

On this day two years ago, May 8th, 2024, the West and Arab-backed Israeli regime began its invasion of Rafah City, southern Gaza, which turned it into a city of rubble despite the Red Line facades & all eyes on Rafah posts worldwide. Unforgivable. Unforgettable.

This is the best bee photo I've managed so far.

🚨🇲🇽 SHEINBAUM — MORE DEBTS CANCELLED After cancelling the housing debts of more than 5 million families, the Mexican President has instructed the 'Institute For Returning To The People What Was Stolen' to WIPE OUT FARMERS' DEBTS. More than 60,000 will benefit: most with full cancellation, the rest with a discount and restructuring at non-usurious interest rates.

Looking at the UK elections and I'm not really surprised. The general elections are going to be very interesting.
