Israel attacked worshipers at AlAqsa mosque on Friday prayer with sticks, rubber bullets, and gas bombs. Remember this is what started the entire events on the previous 11 days. They attacked worshippers at AlAqsa mosque.
Note, Friday prayer is the group pray of the week is Islam, that’s why you see a lot of people. I can’t help but think of this a provocatively deliberate choice of day.
And look at them! Do they look like a threat ?!!
P.S : this happened about 14 hours ago and they retreated, but unfortunately I was too ill today to hold the phone. Even though Israeli police retreated. You must know and see this.
You can find more #Israelbreaksthetruce on Twitter.
Very cold take but the reason I think a lot of settler vegans view meat as murder (and therefore immoral) is because they cannot get past their colonial mindset of viewing all interactions as either consumption or domination instead of the reality of a vast web of mutually beneficial and self sustaining relationships with the ecosystem and eachother
Our fridge broke, defrosted, and let a bunch of meat and dairy spoil. We are now looking at having to replace an entire fridge & freezer's worth of food on the same weekend we have to take one of our cats to the emergency vet.
It is, ah. It is not my day today.
Y'all know I fucking hate doing this, but we do NOT have the money to replace all the spoiled food AND take the cat to the vet, and we can't NOT take the cat to the vet. She needs care.
Please, send this around if you can, and donate if you have a couple spare bucks. I've got folks depending on me to replace the food, and e-begging is about my only option.

Yesterday was the circassian day of mourning where we adyghe people remember our ancestors that were killed during a genocide that began in the 1840s, with deportations going on until the 1870s.
Our tribes lost many members during that time, with survivors being forced to leave our homelands, leaving almost no one behind. An estimated 70-90% of our people disappeared from our mountains, either dead or displaced.
I'd like to stress that us being muslim and indigenous was an important factor in all this.
I don't want to go into the details and would like to link to the wikipedia article instead, however it might be important to share at least a single story: since survivors of the first killings were forced across the Black Sea and then died on the way plenty of those that made it to the coast never ate fish again. They feared that those fish may have fed on their loved ones. To this day fish is not common in our cuisine and many still refuse to eat it.
Back then the Ottoman Empire offered us refuge (although to make it clear, circassian warriors and circassian women were popular and thus sometimes made to serve in certain roles), and so today most of us can be found in Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and many former Ottoman territories but also in Germany and even the US. Thankfully we still exist in Kavkazye, but that's a minority.
I took a break from social media a bit, but now that I post this I also want to extend my respects to the communities that still face genocide, the palestinian and the uyghur people in particular.
Finally I'd like to remind everyone of this crucial thing:
Genocides do not start when the killings begin.
Genocides do not stop when the killings end.
It could happen to anyone. People bury a person alive to scare them or to get rid of them. In this situation, rely only on yourself.
Do not waste oxygen. In a classic coffin there’s only enough oxygen for about an hour, maybe two. Inhale deeply, exhale very slowly. Once inhaled - do not swallow, or you will start to hyperventilate. Do not light up lighters or matches, they will waste oxygen. Using a flashlight is allowed. Screaming increases anxiety, which causes increased heartbeat and therefore - waste of oxygen. So don’t scream.
Shake up the lid with your hands. In some cheap low-quality coffins you will be able to even make a hole (with an engagement ring or a belt buckle.)
Cross your arms over your chest, holding onto your shoulders with your hands, and pull the shirt off upward. Tie it in a knot above your head, like so: This will prevent you from suffocating when the dirt falls on your face.
Kick the lid with your legs. In some cheap coffins the lid is broken or damaged already after being buried, due to the weight of the ground above it.
As soon as the lid breaks, throw and move the dirt that falls through in the direction of your feet. When it takes up a lot of space, try pressing the ground to the sides of the coffin with your legs and feet. Move around a bit.
Whatever you do - your main goal is to sit up: dirt will fill up the empty space and move to your advantage, so no matter what - do not stop and try breathing steadily and calmly.
Get up. Remember: the dirt in the grave is very loose, so battling your way up will be easier than it seems. It’s the other way around during a rainy weather however, since water makes dirt heavy and sticky.
