Heidi is going to be okay, but her injuries are significantly worse than initially thought. It appears that she may have been stabbed. She’s getting ready for surgery.

Severe settler + soldier attack on olive harvesters in Abu Falah. American WaPo journalist Heidi Levine badly wounded. Machine gunfire—at least one Palestinian shot. Tear gas. Soldiers assaulting journalists.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opini…

I did one of those winter weatherizing kits and the benefits are twofold — my bedroom is less drafty AND my window has the glamorous effect of being draped in a large clear garbage bag ✨

I think tattoo removal should be covered by health insurance because there is such thing as being medically stupid. it is called being 20 years old

This is true I got really sick of all of the thinly veiled advertisements for Burger King when I was reading Moby Dick
"I like reading because there are no ads in books" Oh, my sweet summer child. There's plenty of ads in them. Brands pay good money to popular authors for product placement.

Just watched an older woman in the east village stop in her tracks to watch one of the TikToks playing on the linknyc screens. She stood there for a sec going “Huh. Hmm.” while nodding along

Got into a verbal altercation with a driver last night who was mad at me for being in the bike lane because it meant he couldn’t speed past (even though he had plenty of room)

Some of this discourse about people turning on influencers is disturbing to me because I didn’t realize how many of you were into that sort of thing. You just realized the model in the perfume advertisement isn’t also your friend?

I like it when it starts approaching closing time at the coffee shop and the barista chooses their own flavor of panic attack music

This is genuinely how I feel every time I go to the beach. I see everybody walking around and I think wow. People look great!
if i were to “picture everybody in the room naked” i would be STUNNED and in awe of the beauty and diversity of the human form before me. but thanks for the advice.

I think the Nathan fielder raya tweet was a Guerilla marketing campaign that totally worked because I immediately redownloaded once I saw that (they let anyone in media with a pulse on there)

Love this noble savage take on the erosion of the social fabric that has so much more to do with class and the removal of the headphone jack from devices than being part of a specific ethnic group
If you incessantly complain about people using speaker phones on public transportation I'm just going to assume you hate Latinos.
