Horrifying to think about the impunity of the West. Horrifying to witness Western terrorists dehumanizing whole communities and then audaciously couching it as a necessary stepping stone to peace. A city was continuously bombed and put under seige for over 21 months in the name of Jewish safety, and the West upheld the opinion that this is not a genocide.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built.

(I think we need something summery and positive. I’d highly recommend Becky Chamber’s Monk & Robot series of books; a solarpunk dream with a healthy mix of philosophical journeys.)

In honor of Juneteenth, I compiled some great songs by black artists

I highlight genres other than rap/hip-hop, as I don't see them get enough love from non-black people.

Listen and support black musicians, and the black people around you, specially those close to you. Listening to music is not doing enough to support or boost black people's voices, so, please read and share what they have to say, particularly today, while also respecting and immersing yourself in their art and culture

"If you're not american, why do you even care-"

US-based company YouTube just nuked the government funded channel for HIV prevention in Germany. The channel is purely educational and had no prior (or current) violations.

Assuming you guys get elections again; if I see a single person telling non-US-americans to stay out of it, it's on sight.

(german source) As of writing, the channel has been reinstated due to public backlash, but is missing several videos.

Vanity's friends describe her as loyal and straightforward.

"She created and made a safe space for everybody."

While it's a heavy weight to carry, please always know that Black lives matter and that we should always remember that these are not statistics or posts to consume. These are real people being hurt and killed. This was somebody's life.

The GoFundMe has already met its minimum asking at time of writing, but still please share this where you can.
