I'm not grieving him.

I'm not.

Yangon has south east Asia's loveliest park; an hour's boardwalk circuit, flanked by Myanmar's astonishing Bhuddist temples.

Breathtaking moment by moment.

No one more degradingly & barbarically fucked today as this monster: Flint by name & flint of heart. Rot in hell, monster.
Adil Ray recounts the testimony of a doctor who explains IDF soldiers play a game where each day they decide to shoot Palestinian boys in a different part of their body

Flint: "Israel is a functioning democracy. It is understandable when you have Hamas in control.." #GMB

The astonishing loveliness of the footfalls.

In Yangon amongst the monks.

There were 10: those who live dispossessed lives.

Rice meals on the street in Yangon.

Feed the hungry.

Today's wound, dressed.

In sodden Yangon, the Tamil tea seller cycles through the city selling tiny cups of sweet tea.

The simple genius of it; the effort; the cinnamon colored tea offered like little votives in the rain.

Wonders of Myanmar.

Malthouse: you're going to jail.

Lammy: kill the kids!
I'm grimly fascinated by the human capacity - as cogs within systems of power - to participate in great evils such as genocide. And in this case, I'm fascinated by David Lammy's capacity to maintain his characteristic demeanor of pomposity and self regard, even as he follows Israel into the abyss.
Kit Malthouse to Lammy "can he not see his inaction & cowardice is making this country irrelevant? Can he also not see the personal risk to him, given our intl obligations, that he may end up at the Hague because of his inaction?"

Lammy tells Malthouse his language is unbecoming

4 centuries of state systemised oppression & carceral degradation against blacks is lost on him, so quick is he to be the oppressor.
This man sold his fucking soul.
July 23, 2025 at 9:32 AM
The UK is now a carceral state wholly out of control.

Resist it.

He will eat.

The Buddah directs me, and I respond.

With Myanmar's dispossessed.

The bell is rung methodically & in time with my heart beat & Yangon turns Hindu & Ganesha looks on & it's like nothing on earth.

Yangon's mesmeric tollings.

ThecTamil at 6am looks so utterly woebegone..so wretched...but the bell to the Hindu temple is tolling & to its knell I feed him. And this intertwining of fates is gorgeous. I unmade my self and absorb this itinerary being to me.

You are still in your school advocating that students study in the US?

You're kidding me. That's over.

In the Chinese bakery, an immigrant's Buddha.

Yangon's wondrous synthesis.

In Mahabandoola Street, in Yangon...coffee for 1000MMk...in the Chinese bakery.

Daily, for a dollar, I swim here, at 630.

It took me a year to find. But here it is...the place where I swim off the terrible rage at living in a genocidalists' world.

Israel is a state of untitrated barbarism, a thing sick in every pore.

Yet the West casually sidles up to it and joins it at the hip.

We are wretched, irredeemable and in contempt of life - unless we resist it.

Reduction by a 1000 cuts.
"Israeli military entered the [WHO staff residence], forcing women and children to evacuate on foot toward Al-Mawasi amid active conflict."

"Male staff and family members were handcuffed, stripped, interrogated on the spot and screened at gunpoint."

Not just that it's lovely.

But because in Myanmar, it's served with superabundant loveliness.

Yangon: serene in its suffering.
July 22, 2025 at 7:12 AM
Today's wound.

What The Buddah teaches me to do for those who suffer.

The current government on the US is the most hideously bloodthirsty in the history of humanity. Fucked in the core of its being

Everyone - yes you - must respond to barbarity with resistance.

You don't?

You too are barbaric.
As to limits in war, there appear to be none observed.
