It is obvious that none of the traditional attempts to appease Moscow led to anything but escalation and suffering. Only a decisive strike against all Russian troops in occupied Ukraine, supported by massive military deliveries from the West can end this war in an acceptable way. It is still time to learn from the mistakes, from those in 1939 and those 2022/2023.

This part that Marwa mentioned really broke me. I didn't know. She told us that many Palestinian families decide to live separately so that their entire bloodlines are not wiped out. It is in this context that their communication infrastructure is deliberately targeted.

And take a look at how Mona was shadow banned just for performing and sharing analysis about anti-Palestinian bias in content moderation: https://twitter.com/Monashtayya/status/1725515196506976756

In general, people who were born without testicles and who later choose to have prosthetic testicles added to their body are trans men. Therefore we can only conclude that people who add prosthetic testicles to their trucks are being supportive and affirming to their transmasculine trucks.

To everyone invited to my Christmas Bubble Party: I'm sorry, there's been some mix-up with the delivery. Instead of bubbles, we received a massive crate of some new kind of protein powder. It says it's orange and whiskey flavored, and there's a ton of it.

Sadly, we can't return all this protein powder, let alone get the bubbles we wanted in time. So, to try to make the best of a bad situation: it's a powder party now.

We'll be rockin' around the Christmas tree in the new old-fashioned whey.
