I don't know if what is being said is that there is a possibility of reaching a ceasefire deal or not, but I am sure of one thing, which is that Israel does not want to end the war, but rather wants to end the Gaza Strip (for your information, it is not only Israel that wants this, but America also wants this, as it supports Israel with money, weapons, and everything to fight a defenseless people).

UPCOMING PROTESTS

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

The Food and Drug Administration is warning the public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination with Cesium-137, a radioactive isotope.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection alerted the FDA about possible Cesium-137, or Cs-137, detected in shipping containers at four U.S. ports, the FDA said Tuesday in a press release. Testing on frozen shrimp from the distributor, Indonesia's BMS Foods, also tested positive, the FDA said.

However, no shrimp that has tested positive for Cesium-137 has entered the U.S. food supply, according to the FDA.

The FDA is still recommending a recall on all products from BMS Foods that were shipped after the company's shipping containers tested positive for Cesium-137, even though the products themselves have not tested positive.

The following Great Value brand frozen shrimp products should not be eaten, sold or served:

Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005540-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027

Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005538-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027

Great Value brand frozen raw shrimp, lot code: 8005539-1, Best by Date: 3/15/2027

Westerners will argue that eating dogs is an objectively evil cultural practice because "they were domesticated to be human companions" like okay first of all look at how pigeons are treated in western countries today. Almost every single pigeon you see in urban and suburban environments are domestic pigeons they were domesticated over 10000 years ago, they have been common pets of humans throughout history and remain prized and protected in many parts of the world today. And your culture hunts them for sport, or poisons and maims them for the crime of shitting on cars and storefronts. I have a feeling your culture's exceptionalism around dogs is less about them being a domesticated animal, and more about framing nonwhite cultures as uncivilised. Second of all you're saying that a species' worth depends on its proximity to humans like that's supposed to convince me you care about animal welfare? Maybe you really do care, but regardless this argument does nothing but serve western hegemony

welcome to the Murdersex zine, a zine celebrating all things sex and murder. but um. we don't want to romanticize it or anything so don't make your submissions too murdersexy. we will do extensive background checks on all applicants and if we decide a past work of yours has too much sexy murder we'll have to remove you, sorry. we have limits, you know, we want a tasteful gory spread you could put on your coffee table, and having the Wrong people in it would kill the vibe (and we condemn all killing! wholeheartedly!)

a central transfeminist point that it's difficult for tmes to wrap their heads around is that trans women do in fact interact with society as women, and are treated as women, even when they're being misgendered. misgendering isn't just misunderstanding, it's a deliberate act of violence targeting a particularly vulnerable class of women

this seemingly paradoxical nature of transmisogyny is what makes talking about these things so maddening

[charcolor]

When we have these discussions about "be nice to men" or whatever. We often use a variation of this line: "Would you expect a poc to be nicies and considerate to whites all the time?"

I've used this before myself, and I do think it's an apt enough comparison. But yknow, rarely does it work. It flies over their head. Because for one, half of them think we really do need to be nice whites. And the other half... for as radical or punk or progressive as they might think they are, they know nothing of what its like to be a poc.

Gringos can never understand the true extent in which I have been terrorized by crackers. Tell me, have you ever had to read the leaders of your country posting about feeding people of your skin to alligators? Most people were rightfully disgusted to see such a thing, but I think theres a fundamental difference between reading that as a gringo as opposed to people like me.

To tie this back to the topic of men. Im sure alot of you are more familiar with being terrorized by men. Me too. Physical, sexual violence. And every single time, it was a man, mostly white men. This is my reality, and my life. Why do I always have to be egalitarian? Why must I reassure your insecurities, affirming that you're not a meanie because of your whiteness and/or maleness?

I can say all of this, but the crackers who read this likely won't learn anything from it. Because to you, I am a hypothetical. A bargaining chip to win arguments with. Ever notice how the most #punk trans and/or gay people, if they're white, always end up doing imperialist apologia? I certainly do. In all these small ways, they're always trying to downplay colonialism and racism in any way they can. I have to see this, and walk on eggshells lest I hurt their feelings.

So no, making fun of men or whites is not gonna kill you. No matter how mean we get, you'll be the ones getting paid more, the ones who abuse the global south for your grotesque spoils. And you'll be the ones to rape and kill us with a slap on the wrist. So just get over yourself, jeez....
