The situation in Gaza is getting worse, Mohammad

Mohammad, today it has been 32 days since that Israeli artillery shrapnel killed you. The situation in Gaza is getting worse. People who have survived this genocide so far do not feel lucky at all. On the contrary, they envy those killed by Israel.

Elon Musk picked a fight with Nordic workers. We’re gonna make him lose. Help us get the message out: Dear @elonmusk - Get unionized or get out!

Great to see the nacreous clouds locally yesterday, these are hardly ever seen in the UK as very specific conditions are needed, and as one of the highest clouds in the atmosphere, it is typically referred to as 'mother-of-pearl.
Ice crystals form and refract the light rays to give vivid rainbow effects.

Violence by capitalists and their agents, state actors like cops, to enforce rentier extraction.

That’s it. Abolish aggression. No more murder to enrich billionaires.

As a trans writer, I'm in an uncomfortable position. It's already hard enough to get cut through and build an audience - foregoing the network effects of substack means I'm removing yet another avenue of growth.

And it also means paying more money out of my own - currently dwindling - funds to pay for Ghost pro or a similar service. That's bloody expensive.

But on the other hand - staying on Substack means staying on a platform that gives revenue and a voice to people who hate my existence.

If you are forcing people who usually write about food to write about their opposition to Nazis, you are not the champions of discourse you think you are.

Germans have the partial excuse that nobody could have predicted Hitler's genocide, and world war... so what's your excuse, America?

So, Substack… I was really disappointed and annoyed by the company’s response to the racist, hateful content on the site. As an author on the platform, I now have some thinking to do. But please can folks not put pressure on indie writers to immediately quit; most of us are just trying to get our work out there in a tough market, we have put a lot of time/effort into the platform, and maybe trying to earn a bit of money if we are lucky. This really sucks. But as I say, I will ponder my options.

@jeff My views on this are strong. Most journalism in a traditional sense is dead. It started before the internet with the 24 hr news cycle. At that point, journalism started to become entertainment.

I want to encourage you today to make small things. A one page website, a single painting, a poem. Make something small and complete to bring some light to yourself and others.

The new #TaxCredit for clean #hydrogen production is generous, lucrative, and comes with strings attached.

"Companies must demonstrate that they paid a prevailing wage and took advantage of local apprenticeship programs.

They also must demonstrate that they used clean, zero-carbon electricity to power their electrolyzers.

Air Products, the world’s largest hydrogen producer, has backed the administration’s approach, as have half a dozen other hydrogen companies."

It's impossible to date a non-binary AI.

I’m struggling to deal with this version of the internet, where hosts are removing people for voluntarily nudity, but not removing nazis.

And a big part of that is because banks & credit card processing companies won’t allow nudity and sex stuff but are totally ok with hate speech.

From a risk perspective this is asinine - very few people have ever died as a result of naked tits, while we’re watching people be murdered in hate attacks daily.

Everything is fucked and backwards.
