No amount of marketing is going to erase the images of dismembered children being broadcast every day for 2 years.

There is no going back.

📣 Reading recommendations please📣

Does anyone have any *must reads* when thinking about art-science engagement/collaborations in conservation/sustainability, including in relation to "transformation"?

Thank you in advance!

There’s basically a media blackout on this story. Genocide isn’t newsworthy?

The Israeli administration at #DamonPrison banned Palestinian female prisoners from wearing the $hijab, confiscating their jilbabs, hijabs and niqabs, and replacing them with gray tracksuits that do not include anything to cover the head. With winter approaching, each prisoner is left with only one outfit for the summer, as the prison administration refuses to provide them with warm or additional clothing.

The new measures affect 94 female prisoners and were implemented following the appointment of a new director. The prisoners were told that these new regulations would be enforced permanently as a retaliation for the October 7 attack, according to a statement from the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs.

The statement also revealed that the female prisoners are subjected to daily arbitrary searches at dawn, with guards forcing them to undergo strip searches and confiscating their most basic belongings. For example, “threads they had pulled from blankets to make bracelets for entertainment during the long daytime hours,” were seized.

In further detail, the retaliatory measures reached the point of moving the “light switches outside the prisoners' rooms and canceling the internal switches, allowing the guards to control the lighting times according to their mood.”

Urgent: Al Jazeera journalist Fadi Al Wahidi, shot in Gaza by the Israeli Occupation Forces on October 9, 2024, has fallen into a coma. His condition is critical. We demand immediate medical evacuation to save his life. Every moment counts. Al Jazeera condemns the continuous targeting and killing of journalists. #TargetingJournalistsIsACrime

Wow. A local NHS consortium bid for this contract - yet it’s just been awarded to @HCRGCareGroup, the private company that was once Virgin Care.

@HCRGCareGroup will now - for profit - provide community care across all of Bath, Swindon, NE Somerset & Wiltshire.

Heartbreaking 😔

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Today 10 UK police launched a pre-dawn raid on the home of Asa Winstanley, one of Britain’s leading and most celebrated investigative journalists.

All this devices, so all his journalistic materials, were seized and are now with the authorities.

He was not charged with a crime.

Arms embargo right now

@SCB_SSWG Thanks so much for organising - I'm really looking forward to the conference! I don't know if this is just me getting confused, but the email I received said we had until the 30th September to register? Wanted to flag just in case!

Children who were attacked by Israeli police during the demonstration in Jerusalem today.

Zionists attack Jews mercilessly.

The only crime of these Jews is being against Israel and Zionism.

Israel and Zionism are the enemies of Judaism and the Jews.

🇮🇱Ignored by the UK press:

Hundreds of civil servants wrote to David Cameron urging the UK government to publish its legal advice on supporting Israel.

Some staff even rejected requests to work due to concerns of complicity in war crimes.
