My God The Footage Of Israel’s Bombing Of The Rafah Refugee Camp Is Some Of The Most Horrifying Images

for the "posting isn't activism" of the past few weeks, from the west bank:

The translation is accurate, he is talking about how israeli soldiers at (illegal) West Bank checkpoints have been checking Palestinians' phones for any social media posts about Gaza. They checked one man's phone and when they couldn't find anything, checked his stories archive on his instagram. When they found a post about Gaza they beat him savagely until they broke his nose and teeth, and then filmed it and took pictures and uploaded those to his own instagram story. they also livestreamed the whole thing themselves (he believes) on TikTok.

I love lino, too! the cutting feels kind of meditative to me

I'm done with the black part now but it doesn‘t really work with the size I chose (i went way too small) I'll still post it when I get around to printing it but I will also be making a bigger version because frankly they (and this sketch) deserve better

(also thank you! I'm so ready to be done with my exams) :)

@feral-queercore-punk

the sketch I made for a lino cut I'm working on, I'm not sure about the colours yet though

i think you can recognize that the usage of ai by students of all grades and all around the world to cheat through their assignments is not a personal moral failing but just yet another symptom of the mechanistic if not, at this point, basically dehumanized processes of our education systems which are nowadays almost solely focused on demanding production from students and churning out degrees required for jobs while ignoring any tangible verification of their actual knowledge, intellectual development and critical thinking skills, much less their mental health, while also pointing out that using ai to write your essay isn't a power move to cheat a flawed system, it is behaving exactly as the system designed, it is cheating yourself by giving up your ability to speak, think for and challenge yourself and bowing your head to powers who will only benefit from not being questioned, and the only reason text genai is so widespread right now is because it was born on the perfect breeding ground that is anti intellectualism

I’ve started referring to fandom’s tendency to heterosexualize mlm relationships as the Sterek Effect. yk, when you have one dude always feminized to high hell while the other becomes an egregiously hyper-masculine caricature of himself??

they could be the same height, age, status, build, temperament, physical prowess…doesn’t matter. one’s in a short skirt and the other can bench press 873 pounds.

May 18, 2025 - Over a 100.000 people marched in The Hague, the Netherlands, to condemn the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, and the complicity in this genocide of the Dutch government, universities, businesses and other institutions. Most protesters came to the protest dressed in red, saying "we are drawing the red line! Israel has to be stopped here!", because even open ethnic cleansing, bombing of hospitals and ambulances, deliberate starving of children, constant war crimes and open genocide in general apparently aren't a red line for Israel to cross in the eyes of the Dutch government.

i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.

i feel so completely directionless
