I'm laying in bed, listening to my bf in the living room recording a video of him reading a story to one of his elementary students who's in another country for aggressive chemotherapy. And I couldn't possibly love him more.

I'm beyond honored to be leading this team! They're the most resilient people I've ever known and they make my 14 months of work to get here worth it. I'm still floating on air from earning the UAE's first podium yesterday with my (and my petanque partner's) bronze.

Flying to Germany tonight to lead the FIRST UAE World Transplant Games team. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to represent the country that saved my life. @HHShkMohd @HamdanMohammed @MohamedBinZayed @KBM_ALNAHYAN

@UpBeatSkeletor I have the same one! I'll send them to you until you're out if you want

I don’t have my pun of the day calendar with me, so I’ll photo dump all the days I missed when I get home

Because there seem to be some indignant folks suggesting that it is standard practice for a CEO to demand daily performance updates or else fire you, a few observations from a guy who spent 20 years in the private sector 16 as CEO and the last 6 in government…

This may be the most important post you read today. As Trump takes office & pledges mass deportations, below is a shareable film series written *by immigrants for immigrants* on how to safely defend against ICE. Feeling helpless? Here’s something you can do to help. Read on:

@FukTheJoos @MicheleGoldsmi6 @antiwokebooks @caitoz Plus 10ish million Christians in Egypt. This person isn't the brightest crayon in the box.

My first encounter with Israelis was when I was backpacking through South America in my twenties, and I remember being shocked by how consistently awful they all were. I guess after their mandatory military service they tend to go traveling for a bit, and whenever I'd run into them they were reliably some of the nastiest people I'd ever encountered. They weren't ever nasty to me, though. I am a white westerner, and I never had a problem with them. They were nasty to the impoverished brown-skinned people who were hosting us. They were obnoxious and bullying toward local guides, they'd leave the place in a mess, and they were always trying to screw over the locals for a better deal or extra meals or favors. One time they tricked a hostel into putting up a sign in Hebrew for other Israeli backpackers which said ugly things about our hosts (they told the hostel owner it was a great review), which I only know because they were laughing hysterically about it and told me. They consistently treated the people who were looking after us like they were much lesser than us. Their pushiness and entitlement were just unbelievable. It was a very educational experience for me. I knew the Palestinians were being treated unfairly because my father had told me so, but I also had a great love of Jews and Jewish culture. I had visited Auschwitz and Dachau and Anne Frank's house in my travels, and I remember having some romantic ideas about kibbutzim. This was my first time directly encountering the reality that there is something unhealthy about Israeli society. Not Jews or Jewish culture, but Jewish Israelis. Now I see evidence of this on my news feed every day, in the IDF soldiers prancing around in the undergarments of dead and displaced Palestinian women, in the AI translations of Hebrew tweets, in the polls which show widespread Israeli approval for the atrocities in Gaza, in Israeli TikTok videos mocking the suffering of the Palestinians, in the Israelis showing up in my comments justifying the worst things in the world in the most depraved ways imaginable. My encounters with Israelis in South America were an early taste of ugly things to come. Everything I glimpsed then I've been seeing online over the past year. I keep thinking about those obnoxious pricks I met all those years ago, and about how they didn't know at the time that they were giving me very useful information for me to make use of in the future. When Israel supporters tell you to shut up about Gaza until you've been to Israel and met Israelis, just ignore them. Don't go to Israel; you're a westerner, they'll be nice to you. Go to one of the tourist spots in the global south that Israelis like to visit, one with lots of brown-skinned people who've been colonized by the west, and watch how they treat people there. That will show you what Israelis are really like.

One of my 6th graders made post-it note pointy fingers and I told him to "lose the Freddy Kruger fingers". Another kid asked me how I know how to speak like Gen Alpha. WHAT???

these attacks at taylor swift events are primarily planned to attack & hurt women specifically. we need to talk about how both suspects were boys under 20 & how the younger generation of boys are being violent against women. what were not going to do is blame taylor or islam.

A teenage boy attacked a Taylor Swift dance class hosted by women & attending by young girls. We are seeing the epidemic of violence against women & girls play out again & again while repeatedly being told by men to ‘give it a rest’ if we speak out. Girls should not live in fear.

“In four years, you won’t have to vote again.” Defend that, Trump supporters. Please. Defend that.
