The best parents 💔
On Tuesday afternoon, my parents were involved in a head-on collision with a driver who appears to have swerved into their lane. Tragically, both of them died, my mum on the scene, and my dad a short while later at the hospital.
I greet you all in the name of @TheBookerPrizes longlist announcement today! 🥳
Well, of course.
JUST IN: Israeli NGOs have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza in a new report. Read more: p.dw.com/p/4y7WS
Hey @bevthrills, care to explain why you felt the need to create this specific AI image of Naledi Pandor when thousands of photos are available of her online? Employing the Angry Black Woman trope is doing your cause no favours. You aren't in Israel and you best remember that.

i will never get over the fact that people now associate em dashes and semicolons with ai like god forbid a girl likes to read sorry i’m literate

You can only obtain this amount of money through exploitation and human suffering. This is a failure of our society and should enrage any normal person
Elon Musk is now officially worth $405.6 billion, projected to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027.
Time for more apologies and resignations from the @Our_DA MPs who went to Israel and said there is no apartheid! Glynnis Breytenbach Emma Louise Powell ❌ Katherine Christie Bridget Masango Nicholas Myburgh Liam Jacobs ❌ Bonginkosi Madikizela.
This is one of the most profound pieces of philosophy I’ve ever come across. The idea that our limitations are the very means through which we access the world is stunning. I need to start reading Merleau-Ponty soon.
Remember that time he said he was willing to solve world hunger and then when the United Nations World Food Programme gave him the fiscal breakdown of how much it would cost ($6.6 billion which would feed 42 MILLION people for a year in 43 countries), he ignored them?

Something deeply evil about a society that creates a trillionaire before it solves homelessness or hunger
Elon Musk is now officially worth $405.6 billion, projected to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027.
It would take a regular person 237,000 lifetimes to make this much. Elon is not working 237,000 times harder than you

“Oh well the mom looks well fed so why is the baby starving” 🤡 Babies under 6 months do not eat food. When you starve a population, babies under 6months die first because if mom can’t produce enough milk, without formula baby dies. Crazy how many people don’t understand this.
It’s not just the women and children. It’s an atrocity to kill the men, too.

To be super clear this is what Nazis said about Jews. This is what all fascists say about their enemies. This is typical justification of a genocide.
If the Palestinians had the ability to make every Jew in Israel starve to death, they would do it and not blink an eye. Never forget that.
When a survivor is brave enough to talk about who hurt them, it's perhaps not the time to talk to them about forgiveness
Have you ever been in a sketchy, unwanted or unpleasant situation with a man and had to chuckle and smile your way thru it just so you could survive the interaction? I’m trying to see something.
every major media outlet right now reporting “breaking news” of the genocide they spent two years laundering
I feel ashamed that I can’t do anything to stop what has happened and is happening in Gaza.
