As well as famine, Gaza is experiencing a "complex environmental disaster," in the words of Amjad Shawa of the Palestinian NGO Network. The soil is toxic from munitions and coastal water is black with sewage. Nearly all the trees are gone now. The effects will linger for generations [gift link]

Young refuseniks burn their IOF draft papers in the middle of Tel Aviv
They refuse to serve in the Israeli Occupation Forces, and are willing to go to military jail for their position. The new generation of refuseniks is supported by the older, many of them spent months in jail already

BILBO BAGGINS: What?
LARRY: The riddle game..."What have I got in my pocket?"...It's not really a riddle.
BILBO: Uh-huh. Gollum agreeing to answer doesn't mean anything to you?

In the 6th century, a sailor threw a bottle at a whale off the coast of Constantinople.
In response,the whale spent the next 50 years sinking so many ships off the Byzantine coast it was named Porphyrios after the giant who attacked Olympus & the Emperor unsuccessfully dedicated his reign against it

Ben Franklin predicted a guy’s death to make fun of him for believing in astrology, falsely recorded the guy’s death on that date, and when the guy insisted he wasn’t dead, kept writing articles like “some sick fuck is trying to steal a dead guy’s identity”
My favorite thing in the world is historical records of ancient people being incredibly petty or complaining a lot

I'm bowled over by the beautiful response to Lujayn's piece. There's a ton of attention on the amazing student movement right now. Let this piece be a reminder of what that movement is about: ensuring that people in Gaza like Lujayn can live in peace and freedom.
Today in @thenation.com we have a piece by Lujayn, a 14-year-old girl in Gaza, that has floored me every time I've read it. It's about what happened when an Israeli bulldozer came to destroy the house she was staying in, and you must, must, must read it. www.thenation.com/article/worl...
