There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse

It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible
Dozens of Palestinians killed in latest Israeli attacks near food aid distribution site, medics and witnesses say
Witnesses describe people shot in head and torso near sites run by Israeli-backed US organisation Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

“The performance was a study in frustration and bravery (the stuff of everyday disabled life). Gone was the clown prince of darkness, throwing buckets of water over the audience; in place of such slapstick was an intensity never seen before.”

there’s a certain historian who does public-facing work and in general I q like her stuff, but recently she wrote in a big about her absolutely dogshit beliefs around “overdiagnosis” of adhd / ASD, and I can’t get that bitter taste out of my mind-mouth when I listen to her.
