When I went to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Bethlehem, I had a conversation with one of the Armenian patriarchs of the church about this. He said that when he goes to Israeli parts of Jerusalem and some people see him in his garbs, he gets spat at in the street.
For people who are curious about how the historic Christian communities in Israel are faring

It’s in part why I left academia, despite having tenure. And the racism wasn’t just from other colleagues or the admin—it was also from the students. Constant microaggressions.
When professors experience racism (sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc) at work, that’s part of their service load. It takes work to deal with that and still come back and do your job. That’s service to the department. It’s deeply unfair service. But it is service.

From the BBC. Keep it up! Musk needs to go.
So apparently Guild Wars 1 has hit an all-time player peak on Steam!
I reckon most people don’t even play on Steam, but it still means the game’s super active ✨
I’m so happy 💜 Feels great to see everyone revisit this special game
"If this judgment of the UK Supreme Court did nothing else, the complaint that there should be a set of criteria to measure women's behaviour against, to assess if they are sufficiently womanly, would make it an historically bad example of British Imperial thought."
Have deleted some posts but as a general point of principle: trans people in general, not limited to those engaged in civil rights activism, have legal rights even if they do something that's morally wrong.
And yet somehow they can't release Abrego Garcia to the US... 🤦🏽
This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now.
And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.
The way my weekend is going to disappear 😅 this plus gw anniversary 🙈
why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.
What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.
Air pollution graphics for central Paris between 2007 and 2023.
Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.

In 2009 GOP Member of Congress Joe Wilson screamed “you lie” during Obama’s SOTU. No censure by the GOP, only “reprimanded” by Dems
At Biden’s SOTU 2022 Lauren Boebert and MTG heckled him, nothing..
But Dems will happily throw their Black colleague under a bus for white moderate voter pandering
BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism.
As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽
The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI.
