I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hassan. Hassan had a private timber workshop before this. It was destroyed and so was his home and car. He is now living in a tent with his family including his children Joud, 8 and Ivana, 4. He really wants to rebuild his home ❤️

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

But, life being stressful can make you ill. This is well known. You can argue about diagnostic criteria if you must, but you can't over diagnose anything. Either the patient in front of you meets the criteria for a diagnosis or not. There's not a guaranteed 50,000 new cases of depression a year!

"It's not political" is an odd thing to say while describing the conservative mindset, though. The desire to be the hegemonic demographic, to impose your perception of "norms" on everyone else, is pretty political.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
