I wanted to highlight examples of actions I’ve seen people organize to protest the genocide happening in Palestine.

[ID: A tweet by Demilitarize Western Mass @demilitarizewma that reads “BREAKING. We’re blockading all vehicle entrances to the L3Harris facility in Northampton, MA. L3Harris is one of the largest weapons contractors in the world, and they profit from war, the prison industry, and the violent occupation of Palestine..” End ID]

[ID: A tweet by Rebecca Pierce @aptly_engineerd that reads “Happening now: Jewish emergency protest blockading the San Francisco Federal building in solidarity with Gaza and calling for a ceasefire and end to US complicity in the occupation of Palestinians.” End ID]

[ID: A tweet by Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive that reads “JEWS SAY: STOP THE GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS! Over two-thousand Jews protested in front of the offices and homes of elected officials in NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, Indiana, Florida, and Los Angeles to demand action to prevent the genocide of Palestinians..” End ID]

Last thing I wanted to highlight was this message from Palestinian-American Author Nadia Shammas. You can read the full thread on twitter.

[ID: A tweet by Nadia Shammas @Nadia_Shammas_ that reads “I want to hear non-Palestinians to hold the same faith in their heart as we do that Palestine will be liberated. I dream of a world where, when it’s too painful to keep faith, I can rest knowing they’ll believe it just as hard for me, that they’ll carry it for me just as firm"]

I was trying to think about the ole “what would shapeshifters do with their extra mass when they turn into something smaller” and I thought “maybe they just convert it all to energy” and then I thought “uh my guy that’s a lot of fucking energy”

massive explosion that fucks up everything in a pretty wide radius and at the epicenter there’s just a normal looking squirrel. the squirrel is unfazed

And when they want to turn back into a person: did I just see a squirrel eating an entire side of beef?

Animorphs answered this. It gets stored in another dimension that also happens to be the dimension faster-than-light spaceships move through so if you turn into a rat you carry a negligible but nonzero chance of having your extra mass being hit by a spaceship and resulting in Very Bad Consequences. See it all makes perfect scientific sense, no need for follow up questions.

Of all the risks of shapeshifting, suffering a hit-and-run from an intergalactic spaceship was not one I was expecting.

Nobody’s forcing you to buy these yk

Nobody’s forcing you to walk into, I wanna say hobby lobby (a Christian store, mind you)? and walk past the crosses on sale for 50% off

Ngl this is a very weak comeback

i mean nobody’s forcing conservatives to buy pride merch, but they still scream about how we’re shoving our lifestyle down their throats just bc they saw a rainbow in the store, so idk. i feel like it’s pretty comparable

oopsie! someone forgot that christian empires have spent several centuries slaughtering people while queers have been simply existing.
