Imagine loving your baby so much you took a video of her, every single morning. Imagine having to do that because it might be yours and her last morning. Then, it was.
jane austen is so load-bearing that it is probably impossible to imagine the subsequent history of the novel without her; she is (with flaubert, maybe) *the* hinge between the loose-jointed, episodic novel and its later controlled narratological form!
Greta Thunberg speaks out after her release from Israeli dungeons:
“Let’s be clear: our imprisonment by Israel is also a failure of our governments.”
“They constantly speak about getting aid into Gaza. Yet when peaceful civilians try to do exactly that, they abandon us.”
i wish yuval abraham didn’t take over the speech and equate the israeli hostage situation to the lived experiences of his palestinian colleagues. any two state solution/normalization sentiments are an ick and regressive to the palestinian struggle
I do find it really frustrating for any speech to invoke Oct 7 as if it holds any equivalence to or justifies the last 16 months of genocide in Gaza, when you could instead speak to the decades of atrocities by Israel that are inseparable from the occupation
NO OTHER LAND!!!!
No Other Land now has more Oscars than it did distribution offers. a great and enduring shame upon the American film industry. free Palestine forever.
for no reason at all, i wish to remind everyone that when they offered a cash reward for info on the last insurance ceo shooting, they rescinded the reward on a technicality

There’ll be no humanizing New York Times profile of this boy.
The Empire State Building won’t illuminate for his murdered siblings.
No US politician will condemn his kidnapping, or express an ounce of sympathy for his unfathomable loss.
Why does his grief mean so much less?
Just so we're clear, announcing that you will starve a civilian population in order to alter the terms of a ceasefire deal is a flagrant war crime of the highest order.
You would not know that from U.S. headlines.
it's fundamentally violent to starve so many people in this world by hoarding so much wealth, exploiting so much labor, stealing from frankly all of us
