So last month I got hit by a car and died right. Which I didn't initially realize until I watched some guy haul my body into his pickup and drive off. Which, being that it's deep in rural Michigan, I assume means my body will make some venison jerky and maybe some wall decoration, and I'll be resigned to being one of hundreds of deer ghosts floating around Saginaw, which is w/e. But then I find out the guy works at a taxidermy shop or something, and he's actually pretty good at stuffing and mounting deer carcasses, which I come to find out when I find myself face to face with my old body in the shop window. So naturally, I figure since ghosts need to possess something to interact with the living world and etc etc etc the most logical thing to do is to possess my own body, since it's basically a statue of myself. And a little surprisingly, it actually fits like a glove. Like, since it's my body, it feels like stepping right back into place. So I get out of town and back to my herd, eventually. And that's where the trouble starts coming into it, because after I get settled again, I don't know how to explain to everyone else what feels so weird. Like since I can move my body and do everything I used to do, it's functionally the same, like nothing happened. Or it SHOULD be, so I don't know how to explain how it's NOT. But it's just hard to explain it to someone who's never been hit by a truck I guess

Hello, I understand this might be a long shot, but I'm a Palestinian citizen in urgent need of assistance. I have type 1 diabetes, and because of the current situation in Gaza, I’m unable to get my Humalog insulin injection. I'm seeking your support to get just one injection today to save my life. I need financial help to buy insulin for this week and am still $263 short. I apologize if you've already seen this request, but any amount you can donate would mean the world to me. My donation link is in my pinned post. Thank you, and may you be blessed. ❤️🇵🇸

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

Has anyone debunked that telegram/YouTube video supposedly videoing “Hamas” killing civilians and children?? I’ve been trying to find something to debunk it because assholes keep trying to use it as proof that Israel is in the right.

unfortunately we have very little idea of what exactly happened october 7th still, which even israeli citizens have called for more transparency for. hamas definitely did kill civilians, and very likely children. we know the idf responded late and when they did they fired indiscriminately, which lead to more violence and deaths. we know that hamas's primary objective was to take hostages to negotiate with and strike a blow to israel's military "iron wall."

we know they have since said there is no physical evidence of rape or sexual assault or the beheaded babies, and have reduced the reported number of deaths from 1400 to 1200 because many of the unidentified charred remains turned out to be palestinian. we know of those 1200 deaths at least 30% were military personnel. we know around 250 hostages were taken, some of whom were released and at least 60 of whom hamas has reported killed so far due to the israeli bombing of gaza. we know hamas's original offer was to exchange the hostages for the palestinian prisoners in israel, who number over 10,000 and include many children in administrative detention (so not charged with anything) and others who are simply political prisoners. we know hamas has since made multiple offers for hostage release for a ceasefire that israel refused.

i think it's possible to be objective about the violence that took place without necessarily falling for israeli propaganda. the truth is it really will take years before we know the exact details of what happened on october 7th. the issue is that these murky and (it appears now) blatantly falsified claims by the idf and the israeli government have led to an openly genocidal campaign, and so it is more urgent than ever to interrogate them. this doesn't mean these events weren't horrifying for israelis, who have largely been insulated from the type of violence they have inflicted for a long time, but that we need to assess the claims that they were "mindless violence for the sake of it" "ISIS-like" or "an attack on all jews" which has been used to manufacture consent for genocide.

the thing is there is nothing on earth hamas has done that would justify the collective punishment and siege of 2 million palestinians in gaza. it is simply why international law exists. even if it were all true, which it is not, to argue that israel has a moral, legal or ethical right to enact mass punishment on gaza's civilians means that hamas had a far better claim to the moral, legal and ethical right to attack israeli civilians for their government's actions. it is a self-defeating argument.

but this is not true nor was hamas's attack on october 7th straightforward vengeance or collective punishment:

this financial times article talks about hamas's military reasoning and strategy: hamas is more vietcong than isis

this longer mondoweiss article responds to an earlier LRB article that claimed palestinians are falling into 'vengeful pathologies'

again its important to distinguish between explanation and justification. i dont actually think the israeli hostages are having an easy time, or that october 7th wasn't certainly traumatizing for many. i think its possible to be critical of the israeli narrative on the events of that day without saying hamas didn't kill anyone. they definitely did. that is the nature of violent operations. certainly at least a few hamas operatives committed war crimes.

but to contextualize it, which many are allergic to doing: insofar hamas has kept an indisputably lower civilian casualty rate than israel. we don't actually know the death toll anymore because israel has now surrounded and bombarded the people responsible for reporting gaza's death toll under siege at al-shifa hospital. this last sentence describes at least four war crimes.

It is very strange that people from Massachusetts and surrounding areas consider it to be full of bad drivers even though it's easily the safest place to drive in the US. Their auto deaths per vehicle mile are like half of the national average. This is part of a common medical condition called "Northeastern Myopia" in which people living in New York and New England forget that other parts of the country exist. Millions of cases each year

JAVELIN is out today. Thank you for listening. I love you.

This album is dedicated to the light of my life, my beloved partner and best friend Evans Richardson, who passed away in April. He was an absolute gem of a person, full of life, love, laughter, curiosity, integrity, and joy. He was one of those rare and beautiful ones you find only once in a lifetime—precious, impeccable, and absolutely exceptional in every way.

I know relationships can be very difficult sometimes, but it’s always worth it to put in the hard work and care for the ones you love, especially the beautiful ones, who are few and far between. If you happen to find that kind of love, hold it close, hold it tight, savor it, tend to it, and give it everything you’ve got, especially in times of trouble. Be kind, be strong, be patient, be forgiving, be vigorous, be wise, and be yourself. Live every day as if it is your last, with fullness and grace, with reverence and love, with gratitude and joy. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Thank you. I love you.  XOS
