I ran a whole ass marathon yesterday. And the tide was so high that I couldn't run on one of my favourite stretches along the salt marsh. But I did it!

Oh, I thought when I got another brand of henna, and what came out of the tube (IKR, should've stopped there) was a very bright fire engine red, HOW BAD CAN IT BE??

Interesting that the worry is that it’ll hurt their legitimacy to keep the occupation going.
Let’s not be too mad dog killing everyone because if we kill fewer people a bit less cruelly we get to keep doing it longer - the moral aspect.

Private contractors make $1500 per demolished house. Just one of the horrific details in the Haaretz piece on the killing of people in Gaza looking for food. archive.ph/2025.06.27-1...

It would mean a lot to Ahmad and Samar if we could help them build a life together. Things are bleak but they have hope for a better future! 🕊️

Most times on forest runs I find hidden gems like mushrooms or flowers, or a wee bird singing. Today it was a strange note with incomprehensible directions? Where are we going? What are we doing?

I have been scrolling so many happy pictures and stories, so may tears of joy and grief, so much rubble and hope, so many feelings. My words have dried up. I hope with all my heart that the worst is behind us. Free 🇵🇸
