“At least 160 journalists, translators, fixers, and others helping with newsgathering have been killed … deadliest period for reporters since the Committee to Protect Journalists began keeping track in 1992 … the vast majority of those killed have been Palestinian.”

Record number of journalists dead in Gaza war
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has been especially deadly for the people documenting it.

Feels preposterous to be on baby giraffe legs again when I *lived* on Twitter for almost a decade, but here we are.

Figuring out which of my communities have moved here & which haven't. Will try to be more active.

It's devastating. Twitter also contains different circles of people from various eras of my life: theatre/film/tv (I got jobs b/c of Twitter!), science folks both from when I did my degree & was a BBC reporter, & now disabled community. All disconnected & regrouping in different places 😫
twitter was a super useful tool (not to mention resource for literal revolutions??) but also I have friends on there I’ve known for like a decade and idk if I’ll ever see some of them again
