I've just sent a letter to Israel demanding it comply with international law and not attack the #Madleen, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.
It took me less than a minute. Will you please do the same and then pass on the word?

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

If you are expanding beef production & aiming to count climate benefits from increasing soil carbon (which requires careful measurement & causal link to management practices) you need to also count up the methane & other GHGs too
Breathtaking that this is marketed as “net zero” or “carbon neutral”

I mean, yes this, it's really difficult (impossible) to hold onto any self-esteem you had when the world is constantly framing you as a threat
I'm tired of the framing of trans suicides as an entirely internal struggle detached from the realities of a deeply hostile culture hell-bent on denying us care, dignity, and autonomy.
Every trans suicide is a social murder, because you cannot ignore a society actively trying to eradicate us.
