Good reminder that it was perfectly reasonable to see what this was in 2023. And everyone excusing it up until last week is not to be fucking trusted. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

By November 1, 2023, the Palestinian death toll was at least eighty-eight hundred, including more than fifty-eight hundred women and children.

Finally getting back into this- had to set it down months ago. It’s so good. I do love a little “California is beautiful and doomed” vibe for my summer reading. 📖 #bsbookclub Wish I’d recruited some interested folks for some non-fiction group reads this summer. Could be fun.

OMG did Jacobin staff start watching soccer like, yesterday? Do they know who ALL of latin america is rooting against?

@jacobin
Anglo-American commentary has lost its mind, blending “VAR-gentina” complaints with outrage over Milei’s cozy relationship with Trump and Netanyahu. Don’t buy the moralizing: Argentina is still worth rooting for.

I'm rooting for Spain but even I realize the accuracy of this.

map of the world - spain rooting for spain to win. Argentina rooting for argentina to win. Rest of world rooting for Argentina to lose.

¡¡Vamoooooooos España!!! 🇪🇸 I’m drinking kalimotxo for the occasion. 💛❤️💛 #esparg

World Cup snacks!! 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 #fraesp I actually missed The Spain goal while fixing up this plate. 🙄 Delicious chorizo and goat cheese and I went a different direction for this wine- one we used to serve at the Spanish restaurant I used to work at. The bread is “french” 🤷🏼‍♀️

“Coming to an end” is a weird way of saying “continuing to be a banger global spectacle every damn day, even if the US is out”

News headline “The World Cup is coming to an end. Who’s ahead and when are the games?”

Ignoring everything else in the world to get unreasonably horny about the upcoming Haaland/Bellingham match. #engnor - or #noreng? I dunno

Pics of Haaland and Bellingham being unreasonably cuddly while teammates. Spanish caption reads "El arma mas potente que tiene Inglaterra contra Haaland es Jude, pero porque se pierde en sus ojos" - translation - England's most powerful weapon against Haaland in Jude because he gets lost in his eyes.

jude bellinghamd should've been a bridgerton protagonist

i genuinely cannot believe jude bellingham looks like that live on television. while playing a sport. the fuck.

Fuck. I went on Twitter to find some specific World Cup content and THIS is what greets my eyeballs? ALMOST EVERY WOMAN YOU KNOW HAS BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND TALK ABOUT IT CASUALLY IN ORDER TO COPE WITH IT.

@mtracey Do you know a single adult woman who in any normal circumstances would describe a full-blown sexual assault or rape -- which is what's now being alleged -- as "consensually careless" activity?

Here's the thing: Platner probably legitimately does not think he's done anything wrong. I think back to Lundy Bancroft's book, Why Does He Do That, and his observation that abusive men are actually good at recognizing abusive behavior in other men but will endlessly rationalize it in themselves.

@JillFilipovic
Graham Platner should obviously drop out and I think he will drop out, but jesus christ, men -- if you've raped, abused, or otherwise badly mistreated women or anyone in the past, can you please just sit out running for office? Even if you believe you've changed, maybe work on a campaign or help someone you believe in, but perhaps one cost of your bad behavior is that you don't get to hold a position of extraordinary power.

Momentary World Cup/ Book Nerd crossover post. This guuuuuuyyyyy. 📖 🇳🇴 ⚽

Exceprt from an interview with Karl Ove Knaussgard where he talks about Erling Haaland:

So we have to talk about Erling Haaland. Tell me what you think about Haaland as a player but also as a mascot for this team and the most visible Norwegian at the tournament.
I first became aware of him when I think he scored nine goals in a youth national team game. So it was something sensational surrounding him from the very beginning. He’s always had pressure, but he’s dealing with it in an amazing way. He’s funny, he’s friendly, he’s well-liked, he can play with his status. And he has got an extra star in my book because he bought a book, Snorri Sturluson’s saga. It’s this old Norse history book. It was worth millions. And he bought it and donated it to the library where he comes from. He does things like that. He cares about the people around him.

Lovely little lake walk today. And tomorrow it’s supposed to be sunny so I think it’ll be my beach sitting day. Sitting, sunning, reading, napping, all the difficult things. Only a couple hundred pages of Wind-Up Bird Chronicle left! 🐾

Fuck yessssss forest and mountain time!! Sierra Nevada time!! Two weeks, starting with Pinecrest Lake and solo car camping and doing absolutely fucking nothing in the woods. California is pretty nice.

Good morning fellow bartenders 💔 (At least is was a very sexy pisco sour i made)

A very pretty cocktail with a red droplet garnish sits over a well full of ice where I have dropped and sadly broken the entire bottle of the bright red garnish stuff and it’s a rough way to start the day.

Days behind on Wind-Up Bird but just dropping in to let 📖 friends know that I am once again under assault from a neighbor. What have I done to these people?! I left the massive annotated Jane Eyre. 😮‍💨
