You never need to apologize for:
•Condemning killing of civilians
•Condemning killing of civilians as a response to killing civilians
•Condemning war crimes no matter the perpetrator
•Needing time & space to center yourself before speaking

This is how we build sustainable peace & justice for all people.

I’m unsure why but Friday & Saturday are our worst fundraising days.😳

So here’s my ask:
•If you’ve already donated—can you boost this toot?
•If you haven’t donated—can you donate $11? (or what’s in your budget).

We are 100% people funded in our run for US Congress in IL-11 — and our opponent is funded by corporations & billionaires.

We ONLY win with you! Donate: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/qasim-founding-donor

Boosting! ✊🏽

Amazing afternoon at the Straat Museum. #amsterdam #graffiti #streetart
And this morning the Shed is a piece of sea-glass, all smoothed and scoured by the waves and the sand, the memories of its broken self erased by the caress of Time...

RIP Gordon Lightfoot
Here's one of my favourites of his
"The song was commissioned by the CBC in 1967 to mark the country's centennial, and Lightfoot's ode to the building of the railroad, what he calls the "life blood" of the country, has become one of his signature songs." https://www.cbc.ca/music/re-examining-gordon-lightfoot-s-canadian-railroad-trilogy-1.6066106

The song became one of Lightfoot's signatures, but as Polyphonic's Noah Lefevre explains, there's more to the story.

Binged #akindofspark on BBC. A wonderful novel turned into a great miniseries. Bravo to the creative individuals involved with several neurodivergent actors playing neurodivergent characters. Representation matters. #autism #ElleMcNicoll #neurodiversity #ya
People are still on twitter because mastodon doesn’t allow you to be a jerk in the way that twitter does. This keeps a critical mass of people over there, it’s not complex. Yes we have some real dumb racisms happening over here, but nothing on the scale of twitter, let’s be real. The issue is that you are accountable to a server community here.
