Happy pride month!
fix your hearts or die

Three days ago, this beautiful baby girl (masa) was born. Her name signifies high value and beauty, and it suits her perfectly, for she is very beautiful and dear to all our hearts. She is my brother's second daughter, Iman's younger sister.
Despite the immense joy that has filled our hearts and the delight we feel at the arrival of this new member of our family, we are deeply saddened by the situation of this child and how she will grow up and live her life in Gaza, which is facing genocide.
Gaza is not safe, and this child was born in the worst place in the world. It's not her fault that she's a child who doesn't understand or feel anything, but she was born in Gaza. This is not easy at all. Here, formula, diapers, and all baby supplies are incredibly expensive, even more so than food and drink, due to their scarcity.
I implore you to support me, my family, and this beautiful child who survived a genocide. Please give this child a gift; consider her one of your own. She deserves it just like any other child in the world. Please donate now.

The bubble is nigh.
Microsoft ends Claude Code licenses and shifts developers to its ināhouse Copilot model, signaling a strategic move toward AI selfāsufficien
Microsoft is ending its Claude Code licenses because it no longer wants to rent the intelligence inside its own products. Instead, it is pushing developers onto a homegrown coding model built for Copilot, a shift that signals where the company believes power in AI will actually accrue. In San Francisco this week, at its Build developer conference, Microsoft will show offĀ that modelĀ ā a coding system it build for one purpose: to sit at the center of GitHub Copilot. For two years Copilot was the default AI coding assistant, bundled into the platform most of the worldās developers already use. Then the market moved. In the nine months after Anthropic released Claude Code in May 2025, developers followed it, and in one major surveyĀ nearly half of respondents named it a favorite. The incumbent got overtaken. Here is the part worth slowing down on. Microsoft lost on model quality. Instead of putting the better model inside Copilot, Microsoft is building its own. That choice only makes sense if you believe the thing that decides this market is not the model. Microsoft is betting that distribution beats the best model, and the early enterprise data says the bet is reasonable.
sorry to read beyond a headline everyone, but this is just another case of a company deciding to just compete instead of outsource, ai is still in it. and as far as i can tell the "it costs more" framing is just a few articles speculating
happy pride month

when two musicians sing into the same microphone and lean in very close to each other⦠like omg are you guys gonna kiss now to relieve the homoerotic tension?š³
THIS IS NOT ABOUT ONE DIRECTION I DONāT KNOW WHO THIS āHARRYā PERSON IS GO WATCH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND CLARENCE CLEMONS KISS ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
op is the only valid person iāve ever met. everyone else needs to come to the light
Okay, but this is really important: Bruce Springsteen occupied this really weird place in music history. His songs were all from this pessimistic, nihilistic view of an America that had let him down:
Just like the anti-Vietnam War protest songs that we associate with the 1960s, or the early nihilism that spawned punk music in the 1970s. But he didnāt *sound* like a punk anarchist; he sounded like a country rock singer. When he released Born in the U.S.A. people completely misinterpreted (or possibly ignored) the lyrics in favor of the tone of the music.
Politicians used his music to promote their āMurica Yes! brand, and he had to literally explain that that was not what he was about. Heās over here asking when weāre going to have jobs and heathcare, not stanning the politicians who werenāt helping the people.
It was also kind of a big deal that he had an integrated band, because even as late as the 1980s music was still kind of segregated and MTV was straight up racist. They refused to play and promote black artists and then claimed that were no black artists in the first place. Michael Jacksonās record company had to threaten a boycott of their white artists to get MTV to play his Thriller video.
Plus, the first black/white interracial kiss on TV was in 1968 (OG Star Trek). Also it took us until the 70s to get sympathetic gay characters on screen, and the 90s to get gay characters to kiss onscreen. And all of those firsts were met with outrage.
So keep that in mind when you see Bruce Springsteen not just playing with an interracial band, but engaging in an interracial, gay kiss on stage repeatedly.
Passages from American Popular Music by Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman
I used to think that Bruce and Clarence kissing onstage was exuberance, showmanship, and telling racist homophobes to fuck off. Like, they picked up a certain kind of audience and went āRacist homophobes? Not in our house!ā And started the kissing then but then I actually looked it up and

It was a story where⦠we remade the city. We remade the city, shaping it into the kind of place where our friendship and our love for one another wouldnāt have been such an exceptional thing. - Bruce Springsteen
It wasnāt about showmanship or rejecting bigots or anything it was just. Damn right that was one of the loves of his life and damn right he was going to kiss him onstage
It gets me a little that Bruce has had a divorce, that heās been married twice, but he loved Clarence for the rest of Clarenceās life and will presumably love him the rest of his own
Clemons said in one interview. āBruce and I looked at each other and didnāt say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each otherās lives. He was what Iād been searching for.ā In another version of the story, Clemons says āHe looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love.ā
Iām having some emotions about it!
āHe was elemental in my life,ā Springsteen adds, āand losing him was like losing the rain.ā
Not just! I love you pure and deep and true but! I am going to love you like that in front of the whole damn world!
We have fewer narratives about taking risks and making statements for platonic love rather than romantic and supposedly it would be easier to downplay this onstage than romance and! They refused! They fucking refused! In front of hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of years! In the spotlight, in word and deed, I love you!
God Iām not okay about it
Now Iām mad that this is not among any of the things I was ever told about this artist.
I knew about this in general (& via all those fabulous photos), but this just adds even more beautiful context <3
Just to add to the pile: this was the cover of Springsteenās break-through album Born to Run, in 1975:
I mean, will you LOOK at this:
This was the pic chosen for the album cover from an extensive photoshoot, too. A few others:
Thereās a lot more online if you search. Theyāre all pretty amazing. But the photographer is right, the one chosen for the album cover just pops.
person who wears pads: i prefer wearing pads person who wears tampons: how can you walk around all day wearing a wet diaper full of blood that's so gross i could never! paul mccartney: john lennon wasnāt gay because if he wanted to have sex with men he wouldāve had sex with me
happy pride month everyone!!
people hate it when i say "black people getting cancer is racist" but im literally fucking right because systemic racism has led to chemical dumping being acceptable in black/brown neighborhoods and black people have higher rates of cancer as a result
For years there was literally a giant pile of used car tires just casually sitting in one of Dallas' Black neighborhoods and the city kept refusing to come get them for so long that people started developing respiratory issues just from having to live near it. Those people will almost definitely go the rest of their lives w/ a heightened risk of developing specific cancers.
I met more <50y/o Black women who actively had, survived, or regained cancer, within a year of living in one of the poorest neighborhoods of DC, than I did the rest of my time in living in/around DC.

i'm genuinely at a loss for words as to what to say. we are on the second to last day of raising money for ammar's injection for the upcoming week, and we didn't even raise enough for the immune globulin injection last week, let alone anything else
the only reason ammar is still alive right now is because a doctor took pity on him and bought him the injection before we raised enough money. the extended delays made ammar have his first seizure.
israel has also been bombing the hospital again, photos on this post - and their planes + drones are still circling the hospital now, threatening to shoot people. ammar, samah, and mahmoud are all outside in the courtyard and will be immediately wounded if they do so
we need to raise $1471 by tuesday 4 pm at gazan time, which is roughly about 50 hours from now. this is for his food, as well as his injection, and the iv fluids. this is now the bare minimum required to be urgently raised
if he doesn't get this by tuesday, he would need an intensive injection that costs $6k+ total alongside the fact he would need extra medicine and this original injection too
i have nothing else to say. donate as little as $3 or $5 for him, or you'll be letting him die. this is extremely time sensitive.

thank you so, so much to the person who generously donated $1400. this was enough to get the money of everything we needed at the bare minimum, and it's now guaranteed that ammar's digoxin injection will not be delayed
our next intermediate goal is to raise the money for his immune globulin injection, as well as the rest of the costs for his iv fluid last week (i undercalculated how much it would be, so we still need more), by tuesday 4 pm, and then this will have been raised on time as well. this is in about 26 hours, i believe
this is $1,137 more - that will have us at $2654. then the remainder will be the transport cost, and this will allow ammar and samah to finally return home
ammar's birthday is on thursday, so i hope we'll be able to raise the money before then and he will be able to go home for his birthday instead of being threatened in the hospital
cool. another black child died in a hate crime
A South Carolina jury on Monday found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of a Black 14-year-old.
apparently the murder happened in 2023 after doing some research but the murderer has been found not guilty.
black children get murdered and become victims of hate crimes every fucking day. this is ridiculous
im posting this here despite the website being extremely white centered, I want people to understand how in this country it's basically ok to murder and victimize black people, especially women and children in the name of "self defense" and white America will reward you for your antiblackness.
