Here was my home, my neighborhood. More than 50,000 of us used to live here.

Israel destroyed everything, homes, hospitals, schools and parks. And beyond all of that, it killed who remained here, until nothing was left except the rubble you see in image.

In 2008, a group of friends in a small Yorkshire town decided to start planting food in unused public spaces.

The town is Todmorden, population about 15,000, tucked into a valley between Burnley and Halifax. The group is Incredible Edible Todmorden. Their motto is "if you eat, you're in."

Today the railway station beds grow herbs. The fire station is surrounded by fruit trees. The canal towpath is lined with edible plantings. The forecourt of the local police station has been transformed into what's now called "possibly the finest and greenest looking police station in the UK," with a small library of crime novels installed for good measure. Everything is free to harvest.

They have no paid staff, no buildings, and no public funding. They've operated this way for almost two decades. Their guiding principles: "believe in the power of small actions," "kindness underpins everything we do," and "it's sometimes better to ask for forgiveness, not permission."

Over the years they've added a Tool Library, a Makery, and little free libraries scattered around town. They host visitors from around the world (they call it "vegetable tourism"). Their gardening Sundays have grown from four or five people to forty or fifty.

The model has been replicated in over 700 projects worldwide and continued to spread.

Recently, I've been thinking about what it means when anxiety and sadness are caused not by individual predispositions, but by the state of the world itself. This led me to early 19th-c. France and the notion of "mal du siècle" (sickness of the century). Link in thread

Apart from the obscene waste of money that could be better spent elsewhere, the destruction of wildlife habitats (trees, vegetation etc.) is shameful and deeply distressing:

Philosopher ⁦@keithfrankish⁩ on a great modern dilemma of his field: "Work that respects standards of clarity can be evaluated against those standards, but how to tell if a difficult text is ground-breaking and creative or just pretentious nonsense?" https://t.co/TS38bXdsMg

Don't blame the aid workers for the lack of food and aid. They should be ensured safety in delivering vital supplies, not risk of injury or death.
