When someone who made a life of profiting from inhumanity is themselves on the receiving end of inhumanity, I don’t lose my humanity in response.
I acknowledge an act of inhumanity has occurred and will now cause suffering by people not party to it.
Then I return to places where humanity exists.

I’m not sure what saying “things are about to get much worse” serves. It’s true but it’s also sort of always true when you’re in the midst of constant escalation. Things will keep getting much worse and I cling to the hope that maybe one day they will get much better.

After several studies and much scientific analysis, I have concluded that the entirety of my life would be 12.7% better overall if the song “Bad To the Bone” had never been written.

The only reason you assassinate every Al Jazeera journalist left in Gaza is because you don’t want anyone to document the genocide you are about to accelerate.
Any politician and any journalist who cannot call this genocide for what it is, is complicit, and I hope history remembers you as such.
