1,000 days since the genocide that destroyed our lives.

I remember October 6 as if it were yesterday. It was a beautiful, ordinary day.That evening, my husband and I took our three children out for ice cream. They were all under the age of two. Kinan and Kinda were one year and ten months old, and little Yaman was only two and a half months old.Kinan and Kinda were so excited to have ice cream. On the drive home, we played children's songs, clapped along with them, and watched them laugh from the back seat.

The next morning, we woke up to October 7.Many Israelis and people in the West believe that all Gazans celebrated that morning. I can only speak for myself and the people around me. What I felt was not celebration. It was shock. None of us expected what had happened. It was my first war as a mother.Having children in Gaza made me feel weaker than I had ever felt, yet stronger than I had ever imagined. The fear of losing my children was overwhelming. At the same time, the instinct to protect them gave me a strength I didn't know I possessed.

I was terrified of what was coming because I knew the equation of war between Israel and Gaza. In the 50-day war of 2014, 73 Israelis were killed, while 2,251 Palestinians in Gaza were killed. During the 2008–2009 war, 13 Israelis were killed, compared with 1,417 Palestinians. Every Palestinian knows this equation. We know how these wars end.

The moment I saw what had happened on October 7, I felt something I had never felt before. I knew, with terrifying certainty, that this war would be unlike anything we had lived through before. I believed we had lost Gaza forever, and that Israel would leave nothing standing. I remember saying to my husband on the morning of October 7, "They're going to drop a nuclear bomb on us."

Debemos resistir a la mercantilización de las necesidades humanas esenciales. El agua, los alimentos y la asistencia sanitaria no pueden estar subordinados a consideraciones de mercado o a intereses geopolíticos. El acceso a una alimentación adecuada es un derecho humano fundamental arraigado en la dignidad de cada persona. Responder a esta necesidad no solo sirve para aliviar el sufrimiento, sino también para afrontar las causas que subyacen a la inestabilidad geopolítica. De hecho, la seguridad alimentaria es un componente esencial de la seguridad global e integral. https://t.co/xj8YIAaaKi

Happy father's day to all the fathers of Gaza who went to collect aid but never returned home to their families.

Happy Father’s Day to the fathers in Gaza who are trying to keep their families alive.

the reason why Palestine isn’t being seen anymore is because there’s barely any journalists left. Lebanon is going through a severe escalation. Palestine is still going through a genocide. 150k people were killed in Sudan. People in congo are being killed. Don’t stop talking.

I am not afraid of death at all, nor do I fear my end in this life.

I am only afraid for my family and my children… afraid that life will keep devouring them day after day, without anyone there to protect them, to ease their hunger, to heal their pain, or to drive away the fear that sleeps and wakes with them every single minute.

I lost my father when I was young, so I know very well what it means to carry the responsibility of an entire family on your shoulders at an age when you were supposed to run, play, and live without knowing fear or pain.

Life no longer means much to me…
But my children are all that remains of it.
And if we have not been able to save them until now… then when will we?

And how will we, when our own blood has become the fuel that keeps this fire burning without end?

We have become bodies consumed in a war with no end, numbers added to news reports, and victims of a genocide unfolding before the eyes of the whole world, while everyone stands watching as if nothing is happening.

I am not only saddened by what is happening to us, because I know that one day we will all die…

Here, death is no longer a possibility، it has become a part of life.

But what truly hurts me is this world…
This world that watches death, hunger, and genocide, and then simply continues with its day as though nothing happened.

I am sorry…

And I am even more sorry…

That humanity did not die within us—it died in the world itself.

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

HORRIFIC: Israeli settler terrorists carried out a pogrom in the village of Deir Dibwan in the West Bank.

The pogrom was carried out by approximately 50-60 masked and armed settlers. They set houses, vehicles, and fields on fire. They poured gasoline on an elderly man and tried to burn him alive.

Painting of Rania with her beloved twin babies, Wesan & Naeem, in burial shrouds - by Irish artist and activist Anne-Marie Farrell.

Rania waited for them for eleven years of infertility, they were her little miracles. At 6 months old they were murdered along with her husband & 11 family members when the IOF bombed the Al-Salam neighborhood in Rafah, Gaza Strip, on March 3 2024. I have no words to describe the loss this mother, endured... her entire world decimated in a second like so many.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

Parte de mi vida la pasé estudiando asuntos de la vida de los animales en la ciudad, cuna de la palabra "sostenible". Está en todo lado; sofoca, hostiga, engaña y casi siempre termina en cosas decorativas. Carreteras sostenibles, ruido sostenible, fragmentación sostenible.

“Fracking responsable” es enternecedor. Eso es como decir deforestación ecológica o contaminación responsable. Hablar de “fracking sostenible” en regiones como Valle del Magdalena (donde se han proyectado pilotos) es demostrar que no se entiende ni la geología ni la ecohidrología de la región.

No estamos hablando de una obra civil como una vía, cuanta falsedad. Estamos hablando de intervenir una de las redes más complejas de humedales, ciénagas, acuíferos y planicies inundables de Colombia. Lo que proponen de la Espriella y Restrepo es un atentado contra la integridad de los sistemas socioecológicos colombianos.

Resulta ridículo que quienes nunca han estudiado un acuífero, una ciénaga o una falla geológica ahora quieran justificar un daño ambiental claramente sustentado en estudios científicos de todo orden.
