Can #anyone help me remember a #TVcommercial from the #90s for deodorant, I think, with a loud Joe Cocker-sounding song: "Sail away!" That's all I got. I used to watch a lot of MST3k on tape with commercials (because I wanted to play it passively, not keep the remote in my hand to scan past commercials & I didn't have the tech to remove them). Many ads are lodged in my mind. I hate them, of course. But I also like to use "high energy faux earnest" ads as exemplars of the ruination of capitalism.

I’ve now seen TWO separate #people say this so let me be as clear as I can be here: saying “don’t call for a permanent #ceasefire because it’s not the most perfect option” shows that you’re speaking from a place of incredible privilege and you should stop saying that immediately. We can call for a ceasefire and an end to the #occupation at the same time, but an end to the occupation is much more complicated and far less likely to happen in the immediate future. We should not stop asking for people to not be bombed just because it doesn’t fix every problem. Stay loud about a permanent ceasefire. An end of the occupation is a great goal, but the people being slaughtered in the streets on a daily basis are the priority here. #Anyone who doesn’t care about anything less than the complete end of #Israeli occupation doesn’t actually care about #Palestinian lives.

does #anyone else hate that #work takes up like 90% of your #life and you literally are always #working and have to form plans and important things and even seeing friends or eating meals around work. it's always just work. im spending my life just being At Work. i don't have time for hobbies or for seeing friends bc it’s always Work. like two days off a week isn't even enough because my days off aren't consecutive so i just spend those days exhausted or doing errands or house chores. there is not enough Time. all the time goes to Work. WHY IS LIFE THIS WAY. #humans were not meant for this

"genocide joe and the democratic party do not give one single shit about how you feel voting for him or if you think he is the lesser evil. every strident social media post and attendance at a protest and deep seated personal convictions and letter to your congressman are adults from charlie brown going Bwa Bwa Bwa to them. you speak one language they can hear and that's the ballot box. & if you vote for #genocidejoe, what they'll hear is "it doesn't matter how much the left whines, we can openly salivate for genocide and they'll still vote for us." if this doesn't lose them votes it is a green light for every democratic candidate in the future to take the exact same stance, forever. how can #anyone who claims to care about electoral #politics not understand that

these craven fucks are going to be on here in 2028 saying "listen, i don't like gavin newsom's plan to deport every trans kid to elon musk's moon colony any more than you do, but eric trump is an actual #fascist" and because they're ideologically opposed to basic pattern recognition they will remain wilfully blind to the extremely simple and obvious process by which they got there"

"my coworkers, all of whom are white Christian women, said today that they think #ANYONE of #Palestinian descent should be deported to #Gaza and then have bombs dropped on them.

They don’t know I’m Palestinian. I’m fucking terrified. We don’t have HR. I can’t lose my job. It’s crazy to me that they can spout #genocidal bullshit but if I so much as mention my ethnicity they may turn on me and hate me.

I’m a patient care coordinator at a pulmonary practice. All I want to do is make sure my patients get the care they need and deserve. I’m the only care coordinator in my office. I’m great at my job. But it was so hard to focus today knowing that if my coworkers knew about one of the biggest aspects of my identity - one of the things about myself about which I am the most proud - they would stop seeing me as a #person.

Fuck off with the bothsidesism. With the whataboutism. This is what the mass of #propaganda and #lies and anti-Arabism being spread in the #media do. And I’m terrified."
