WELL if you've ever thought "I fancy listening to someone read three poems about aura photography, palm readings and Jenny Holzer" - you're in luck, I wrote them!

This is Abdul Rahman, the grandson of Dr. @itranslate123. He was born on January 29, 2024, during the most brutal days of the war — a freezing cold night, late hour, heavy rain and storms, all under relentless, around-the-clock bombardment.
He was killed along with his parents — Dr. Refaat’s daughter, Shaimaa, and her husband — on Friday, April 26, 2024, after being targeted by three Israeli airstrikes.
Fifty-seven days he lived — days of displacement, bombing, terror, and fear — enough for this innocent child to bear witness to the cruelty of this unjust world.
Always think about this bit from David Lynch: “Write down the idea in such a way that when you read it again the idea comes back in full.” One of the most important pieces of writing advice I’ve ever read.
David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.
Incapacity benefit cuts consultation was ‘misleading’ and unlawful, judge rules.

Netanyahu just announced his unwillingness to comply with one of the main terms of the cease-fire agreement that Israel signed.
Israel does not want a cease-fire. They want to keep on killing and stealing. With regard to the Philadelphi corridor, they’re afraid that journalists will enter Gaza if they leave that part.
Breaking: DWP's “misleading and unfair” consultation on disability benefit reforms unlawful, the High Court has ruled. Ministers presented reforms as supporting disabled people into work, when savings was a “primary rationale”.
Huge congrats to @EllenClifford1. A legend.
Central to ceasefire conditions (thread):
Did you know that Palestinian armed resistance in Beit Hanoun over the past weeks has generated such a crisis for the occupation army that 800 military families wrote to Netanyahu refusing to send their children back to Gaza to fight?
The funniest thing about people being mad at Isabella Rossellini for mentioning her mother is…wouldn’t you? Your birth was an international scandal that was condemned by US Congress AND The Vatican and nearly derailed Ingrid Bergman’s career? I would never shut up about that!
There is a ceasefire deal, so I want to share this story from my past year reporting inside the State Dept. trying to answer the central question of Biden’s foreign policy:
How did the U.S. let Israel get away with widespread horrors in Gaza? 1/
god bless this man and his colleagues, their bravery is extraordinary and their resilience almost beyond belief. they deserve the world, and all those that were murdered will have justice
After 15 months of genocide in Gaza, a ceasefire has been declared — but the US, UK & others must be held accountable for arming these atrocities.
We’ll keep speaking out until the siege lifts, aid flows, schools & hospitals are rebuilt, the Occupation ends & Palestine is free.
