A U.S. appeals court ruled on Saturday that California’s assault weapons ban will remain in force while the state attorney general appeals a lower court decision declaring the 30-year-old measure unconstitutional.
If y’all can’t boycott Starbucks and McDonald’s what use are you really? Because these aren’t places that you NEED (do not bean soup this post I’m so serious) what do you have that’s a NEED from Starbucks?? Exactly.
this is not strictly relevant but a friendly reminder that WHILE starbucks and McD have materially supported israel, BDS has not asked for their boycott (tho you are free to do so, and i am, and probably boycott Disney as well who has given 2mil USD to israel) as these companies are not really instrumental in the occupation of palestine. they HAVE asked for the boycott of:
- HP (hewlett packard)
- Siemens
- AXA
- PUMA
- Israeli produce
- Sabra Hummus (jointly owned by PepsiCo and Strauss group)
- Ahava cosmetics
these companies and products either provide critical infrastructure for the occupation of palestine and/or use occupied land resources in their supply chains and/or are affiliated w the Israeli state and the profits go into Israeli taxes. financially hurting these organisations is more important than attacking McDonald’s for providing free burgers!

Trying to explain my gender as concisely as possible like…
I’m a woman in a way I can’t escape from (at the moment). I’m seen as a woman by strangers and by people I’m not out to. I experience misogyny in a cis-woman-like fashion but I’m not a woman by choice and I’m not cis. The only way I’m a woman by choice is in a very explicitly dyke-ish lesbo way. I’m a man as a performance. I’m a man in a very exaggeratedly goofy way, like weird al, or those guys from the upside down show, or like a comedic drag king. I’m also a man in the way Roland Orzabal is a man, in a sort of emotional way (think The Hurting, Seeds of Love, and Songs from the Big Chair). I’m just some guy, in an autistic way, like David Byrne. I used to be a weird little girl in every way and though I am no longer a girl nor child, I carry her with me and try to make up for what she missed when she was here. I keep dolls and pony figures for her. She’s my little sister. I’m nonbinary in a very personal way. As a friend. As a partner. As a sibling and as a cousin and as a child and a grandchild and as whatever the gender neutral words for aunt/uncle and niece/nephew are. I am, though my family doesn’t know it yet. I’m nonbinary as an artist and in the way I experience life. I’m flexible and multifaceted and nuanced and my whole life can’t fit into one gendered box. I want to have a voice like Elvis. I want to wear a pink frilly skirt. I want to have a beard like an old wizard. I want to dance in high heels. I want to confuse cis people. I want to keep them guessing. I’m a rubicks cube that was disassembled and put back together in mismatched order, and there’s no need to fix it. Each piece changes color every time you turn the sides or try to reassemble again. It mostly depends on the angle. The stickers don’t peel off. Changing in the shifting of the environment and by the position of the sun but not by artificial interference. That’s the way I am.
Career search website I’m making an account for: that’s great but all I needed was your pronouns.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
GOP presidential candidates rallied behind former Vice President Mike Pence in the wake of him dropping out of the 2024 race Saturday.
My friend @Mike_Pence just gave a powerful speech to the @RJC supporting Israel,” former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Susan and I wish Mike and Karen the best as they continue to fight for conservative values and serve America.”
