@OhMiaGod I translated this a few months back in my spare time. It depicts a trans man, and it's over 1800 years old.

The central mound is the tholos tomb of a prominent Teletubby priest-king able to call upon the labour of an entire region: the smaller mounds are pit tombs likely created by locally prominent Teletubby dynasties in the centuries following the Bronze Age Collapse.

Today, a 29-day-old baby died at Nasser hospital, southern Gaza, Palestine, just two hours after arriving at the MSF- supported paediatric ward in the early hours of the morning. Despite treatment efforts, he could not be saved. According to the Ministry of Health, he died from hypothermia.

"Children are losing their lives because they lack the most basic items for survival. Babies are arriving to the hospital cold, with near-death vital signs: even our best efforts are not enough. They say the war has ended, but people are still having to fight for their lives," says Bilal Abu Saada-Nursing Team Supervisor at Nasser Hospital.

The harsh winter weather combined with the already dire living conditions is increasing health risks and MSF teams are consistently seeing high rates of respiratory infections - something which will only increase throughout winter and is particularly dangerous for children under five-years old

As Gaza is battered by heavy rains and storms, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to struggle in flooded and broken makeshift tents. MSF calls on Israeli authorities to urgently allow a massive scale up of aid into the Strip.

A whole year of copying Reform, demonising immigrants & introducing some of the most deranged & punitive immigration policies in any democracy on earth.

All for the proportion of Reform voters who hate you to go from 94% to 93%

lol. Utter political geniuses.

In September I lost a locket that belonged to my late mum

I most likely lost it in Chinley, but it’s possible that it made it onto the Hope Valley Line into Manchester or Sheffield

I'm hopeful that by posting it here with a photo will help it find its way home

Shabana Mahmood in 2017 remarking on the UK, one of the most prosperous nations on earth, debating whether to take in a few thousand children while Bangladesh is housing 800,000 refugees, and asking whether we would be as generous as them.

Not with you in charge, eh?

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.

How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

Some of the legal changes being proposed are truly frightening:
Abolishing the right to a family life would ultimately affect many more people than asylum-seekers.
Overriding it if the risks of violence are greater is a mob's charter.
Watering down the Modern Slavery Act. Awful.
