✨ And now, for my next trick… ✨ This is the book I was born to write. Growing up with a rare disability, I often felt all alone in the world—until I found the sideshow and the disabled performers who brought it to life. I can’t wait to share their stories—and mine—with you.

After blocking Israeli military cargo, the Greek dockworkers union stressed that they refuse to be “accomplices to the genocide of the Palestinian people.” “For us, it is our duty not to allow our port to be turned into a tool of a war machine targeting unarmed populations.”

Protect Rob Halford at all costs.

Black Sabbath changed my life when I was 12 years old, and I’ll never stop loving them for opening up the glorious world of heavy metal to a nerdy rural kid who never thought she’d find a place to call her own. Thanks for bringing me home, @OzzyOsbourne.

They love to romanticize the trades, while not doing it themselves, and actually cutting our throats. Sociology majors out here taking strays because they're bold enough to hold up a mirror to their fascist ideology.

Say his name: Tamer al-Za'anin, a journalist murdered in the line of duty. About 250 journalists have been assasinated by US-Israel

Philadelphia's municipal workers went out on strike. They went back to work after striking a deal that none of them seem to like, writes @GrimKim. thenation.com/article/societ…

the men who would tell a woman which piercings are acceptable are the exact type of men we’re all trying to actively repel with our septum rings btw

The thing that would help journalism is if there were more working class journalists.

For decades, Shelley Moore Capito and her family have ruled West Virginia like feudal lords passing power down like heirlooms while our towns crumbled and our people suffered. It’s time for it to end. You all stood with me before and together we built something powerful. Now…

Absolutely shameful, NEA leadership overrode its members. The head of the ADL went on MSNBC and compared a keffiyeh to a swastika and these are the clowns tasked with teaching our children about “hate.” Note how the “safety” of Palestinian kids never matters in any of this.

*whispering* ok so right now I’m embedded with the Venezuelan cartel, right now we are on our way to bribe a local politician and maybe murder him if he doesn’t comply, we’ll see how this goes. Also, I’m only getting paid $9 for this report. My cameraman is getting $7

This is a perfect example of how broken our labor laws are in this country, and just how undemocratic the workplace really is
