@Shepherds4Good: Palestinian children in Gaza hold a press conference outside Al Shifa hospital, speaking English so the world cannot pretend not to understand them: “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace… we want to live as the other children live.”
Looks like the biden admin is showing the first signs of caving regarding its support for the israeli gvt and is attempting to distance him from it. This should not be allowed to happen. He has a hand in this genocide and stepping away is not enough.
The most recent statements have changed from overt support for israel to a concession that israel’s civilian killings are too much, but he’s now claiming to be unable to exert enough influence to stop them. This is not true. He is trying to continue allowing it while avoiding culpability when he should be opposing it directly.
Nicknames like genocide joe and genocidin biden seem to have his campaign afraid that he might not win a second term if he keeps aiding ethnic cleansing. Good. Until he halts all material aid he should still be treated as an ongoing genocide supporter. And even after that he will never be clean of the lives of the people he helped put to death.
favourite thing in the world is when the pages of a book go all soft and yellowy and the edges are slightly fuzzy and rounded. these books couldn’t give you a papercut if you tried they’ve been loved too much. they love you too much
“Oh boo hoo you shouldn’t ask your friends for favors we’re all adults”
I just spent three hours pulling up carpet and staples for a friend’s home renovation and we all did nothing but chat and joke and have wonderful conversation the whole time.
Helping somebody move or renovate or giving them a ride to the airport is functionally the same as going mini-golfing or playing a board game: it’s an activity that you do that is made more fun by having good company, and which provides something to talk about when the conversation lulls.
