I’m so proud to finally share ALL WE HAVE a Palestinian animation film about love, stolen time & resistance under occupation. Written & produced by yours truly, and directed by the brilliant Amer Hlehel & Mahmoud Ghalwa. Poetry meets stunning visuals, carried by a powerful original score by Nahed ElRayes.

my coworker told me how there’s a cohort of homeschooling parents in his neighborhood that decided this school year they were going to hire specialized nannies with education backgrounds and rent a space so all of their kids could be homeschooled together. ladies and gentlemen.. they’ve invented school...
One of the most heinous crimes in human history: Israel bombed a bus carrying kindergarten children this morning, killing everyone inside. This defies human comprehension.
This was a really sad story of someone who obviously needed help. I’ve cut the end of the film as there is always a way out of any situation, even if it feels there isn’t.
We all struggle in life at some point and need the support of others; it shows strength, not weakness to ask for that support, whether it be from friends or strangers.
Don’t suffer in silence.
Adi Karni. Remember the name.
We @HindRFoundation identified him, documented his crimes in Gaza, filed against him in Peru (where he is under investigation) and in the U.S., and tracked him across Italy, France and America.
At Columbia university, he was confronted while posing as a Palestine supporter, infiltrating the movement that protests the very crimes he committed. The obscenity of this guy has no limits.
We followed his trail across continents. We will keep following it.
Until the trail ends behind bars.
Stanford researchers scanned teenagers listening to their mothers, having already shown that in young children her voice lights up half the brain. Something had switched.
In children under about twelve, the reward circuitry fires harder for their mother's voice than for a stranger's. In adolescents it flips. The reward regions respond more strongly to unfamiliar voices, and her voice stops being the sound the system reaches for.
The crossover happens somewhere between thirteen and fourteen. Nothing has gone wrong. The circuitry has not broken and she has not been demoted. It is being retuned deliberately, because a person who is going to leave home needs to start finding other people interesting, and the brain arranges that by making everyone outside the house more rewarding to listen to.
Which means the thing every mother of a teenager describes has a mechanism. He is not ignoring her out of contempt. Her voice is no longer arriving at the part of him that used to light up for it.
Two things worth holding onto here. The first is that the hearing and processing regions are still there and still working. He hears her perfectly. What changed is what his reward system does with the sound.
The second is that this is temporary, and there is a whole literature on adult children and their mothers to say so. The circuitry is being repointed outward for the years he needs to build a life away from her. It is not being deleted.
So a woman finds herself talking to somebody who used to run toward her voice across a car park, and who now barely registers it. That is her son's brain doing exactly what it is supposed to do, on schedule, and it is a horrible thing to be on the receiving end of.
