If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

Now’s a good time to remember California JUST voted to keep unpaid/criminally underpaid prison labor (slavery) and that a lot of the people affected by that vote are the ones fighting to save our city right now. npr.org/2024/07/18/nx-…

Apparently Israel shooting at UN aid workers is so normalized that the media doesn’t even bother to cover it.

WFP strongly condemns the horrifying incident on January 5, when a clearly marked @WFP convoy was shot at by Israeli forces near the Wadi #Gaza checkpoint. wfp.org/news/shooting-…

One of the most impactful pieces of journalism I’ve read this year:

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote. propub.li/3VVlbGc

So very tired of asking people not to screenshot entire articles without sharing links. If you want continued coverage for your favorite shows/ships/whatever else, please support the journalists who are writing the articles. Clicks are how we can continue to do our jobs.

During genocides people do not just die of bombs. They die of thirst and starvation and disease and cold. At least some of that can be mitigated by money which can buy protections from those things. It’s important to intervene in the ways we can even if it’s imperfect.

For something that I do find to be inherently partially subjective, I probably work *way* too hard on these "best of" year-end lists. But I love it. The K-drama industry is incredibly prolific—here are the 10 K-dramas that impressed me the most in 2024. time.com/7201080/best-k…


I’m planning on attending this if anyone wants a friend to sit by. Let’s make sure that the remedies are driven by the people most affected.

The DOJ is describing it's community meeting at 6pm, tomorrow at the YWCA as an opportunity to discuss, "the findings and the remedies". Please try to attend to help move Worcester forward.
