A mother just asked to cover the dead bodies of both her children because they might get cold. She then asked to burry her with them, because she can’t leave them. And Western universities are canceling teach-ins on Palestine because both sides aren’t “represented equally”.
my take is that if you’re mentally ill, you’re already used to forcing yourself to do things you don’t wanna do. It’s already built in to the experience.
Trying to “exposure therapy” your way out of everything is a good way to burn out, even if it’s helped in certain instances
I think Israel is a broken society and a broken country. It has utilised the Holocaust as a shield against all accountability in international law. It has consistently been one of the most habitual offender of intl law and gotten away with it.
Your daily reminder that Boeing spent the last decade replace their engineers in the leadership heirarchy with non-technical management to focus on boosting shareholder returns instead of building safe products. Capitalism kills
It’s really simple. If you hear that Muslims in America don’t want to vote for Biden because he’s supporting Israel’s ethnic cleansing in Gaza, your fucking response should be to urge him to stop supporting the ethnic cleansing, not to tell people it would be worse under Trump.
- How we talk about this situation is very important. This is not a conflict, this is not a battle, it is a genocide of Palestinian people. It is a violation of human rights that should be the concern of everyone.
Destroyed villages were often planted over with non-Indigenous tree varieties.
Because Palestinian herders relied on the native black goats, Israel banned them. The goats fed on the underbrush and debris, preventing fires.
Guess how often there are massive forest fires now.
Oh yeah well my six month-old baby just said "Israel is an abusive apartheid state that cannot exist without nonstop war and violence which is exactly why the US empire uses it as a military and intelligence proxy in a geostrategically crucial region it must dominate by force."
When part of the Notre Dame was destroyed the western “Christian world” was up in arms & there were no people in the building killed. The third oldest church structure in the WORLD was just bombed in Gaza and entire Palestinian Christian families killed & it’s crickets. Ask why.
This is Rachel Corrie.
An American peace activist who in 2003, stood in front of a Israeli Bulldozer trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family’s home.
Israeli soldiers crushed her with it.
What about this American Biden?
There is still no justice to her name.
The idea that Scholastic could create a program designed to opt out, censor and ban diverse books from its book fairs and then call it "Share Every Story, Celebrate Every Voice" is the phoniest, weakest position anyone could think up
People are afraid to publicly show support for Palestine for fear of losing their jobs and academic opportunities. I hate to keep repeating this and saying I told you so, but the evidence is clear. Y’all did not vote out fascism in 2020.
"The vast majority of computer vision research leads to technology that surveils human beings, a new preprint study that analyzed more than 20,000 CV papers and 11,000 patents spanning three decades has found."

Japanese scientists find microplastics are present in clouds
Researchers in Japan have confirmed that microplastics are present in clouds, where they are likely affecting the climate in ways that are not yet fully understood.
The team identified nine different types of polymers and one type of rubber in the airborne microplastics, which ranged in size from 7.1 to 94.6 micrometres.
Each litre (0.26 gallon) of cloud water tested contained between 6.7 to 13.9 pieces of the plastics.
When microplastics reach the upper atmosphere and are exposed to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, they degrade, contributing to greenhouse gasses, Okochi said.
