📌 Israel is the only country that can:
✅ Bomb hospitals
✅ Starve civilians
✅ Murder journalists
✅ Admit to war crimes

And still get called "the only democracy in the Middle East."

Make it make sense.

I hate to be *that* person, who rarely posts, and then to share what they wrote on a different platform, but here I go regardless.

My beautiful friend Tejas AP died last week. And it made me reconsider my dislike of Instagram, of all things.

Last week we had a chance to see some of the new galleries at Museo Egizio in Turin with their assistant director. Safe to say museums are ruined for me because it was such an amazing experience. I can't imagine going to another museum without being guided by the person who put it together!
