In case anyone wondered what Greg was getting up to in his retirement.
A daily reality for children in Myanmar, where schools and hospitals are often targets for the junta's bombing raids. (Via kindly hand on FB)
A message from the women of the Chin Hills in Myanmar to the YPJ (whose account is still inexplicably banned on here for reasons that Edward Said would not be surprised by)
Hopped over this lil' guy while listening to Willie Nelosn sing Whiskey River, which I think unlocks a higher tier of citizenship or something.
At least three members of the PDKI have been killed in an Iranain drone strike on their bases. These include two women peşmerge, and a young man whose father now also seems to have succumbed to his injuries.

Interestingly the Trump admin seems to have added the demon thing to this image, here is the one Nick Adams posted in Feb
Never leaving this part of the world. I fucking love it too much out here. Second rattlesnake of the week as well, and I saw a good size yellow belly racer.
I have boxer shorts that have seen more of war than Elon Musk has. A great deal of people I knew well and admire greatly have fought, and sometimes died, for the brotherhood of peoples. Also WTF is English-Scotts-Irish? Those are 3 nations, 2 of which were colonized by the other,not one culture.
Meanwhile Gavin Newsom is continuing to face fascism with his own version of fucking abhorrent bigoted AI slop. Disgusting. I really don’t know what to say for the alt text here, someone help me out and I’ll repost it.

A statement of solidarity with Rojava from the Karenni Revolution “ ji Karenni heta gelê Rojava, Di vî wextê gûman û xeteriyê de, Em silav û piştgirtiyê xwe ji we re dişînin.
After the failure of negotiations in Damascus, a general mobilization has begun in Rojava. Youth from northern Kurdistan appear To have crossed the border to join the defence. it feels like 2014 again, complete with horrific executions of SDF prisoners.
CBS’ chief foreign affairs correspondent on Twitter posted this, left it up for hours, then deleted it with no apology after the SDF spox quote tweeted her pointing out this was total nonsense. Anyone with a wikipedia knowledge of Syria knows Palmyra isn’t in the AANES.
It’s honestly worth returning to Twitter to see the Somali memes in response to all the bigotry they’ve received. Genuinely a hilarious response to such ugly hate.
