No boats.

And this beautiful game on grief is out now! If you want to support Arab-made work about the Arab world, history, arts, and culture -especially in a time of destruction and erasure towards our people- I cannot recommend this game more.

Kill Chain On the automated bureaucratic machinery that killed 175 children

New, from me.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

My alabaster milk child Teuton keeps asking for ranch dressing at the caviar factory, it is most epic. The fishmongers despise him.

Israel has crushed Unrwa in Gaza – and the rest of the world has done nothing | Philippe Lazzarini I bow out of my role for the organisation at a perilous time for the international law. There are consequences not just for Palestinians, but the wider Middle East, says Unrwa commissioner-general Phi...

"It is incomprehensible that a UN entity has been allowed to be crushed as Unrwa has, in violation of international law, with total impunity, and with staff and Palestinian communities paying an unacceptable price" - Philippe Lazzarini

Empathetic words for everyone Going Through It - stress, uncertainty, fear, helplessness, anger- and the way that is experienced in our bodies. This must be pretty much all of us currently :-(

Not All Men but Every Woman, innit?

All sisters, no mercy

All motor, no head

Actions have consequences.

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

In this day and age and specific moment in history, people need to be more careful with how they use the phrase "it's happening" because you're going to accidentally get people's hopes up before they realize you're just talking about a new hairdo or a long-awaited YouTube video 🫤

These visits by ghostes koude have been three emayles.

'Baby Jesus' laid among Gaza Rubble outside Christchurch Cathedral 'Christ in the rubble' challenges us to think beyond ourselves during the Christmas season; it invites us to see the image of Jesus in every child killed and pulled from under the rubble.

I asked my GP why she doesn’t wear a mask- don’t they keep getting exposed and ill? She relies on patients self screening. I feel a bit gaslit by all our health providers acting like it’s no biggie

I masked even for my two days and nights on planes and I am amazed considering the intense exposure, but I didn’t bring an infection home to NZ. Masks work!

The photo with ppl masked on a train is wildest dreams to me. I travelled to the UK last month from NZ and across 5 NZ, Singapore, London airports, countless packed trains, hotels, concerts and shops, I saw 3 other masked people out of 1000s! The sickness on trains and planes was feral.

Falling In Love With A Bot We tend to love things that can’t love us back.

My article on LLM chatbots and relationships went up last week, if you want a very brief therapeutic conceptualisation of why these things are bad: www.webworm.co/fallinginlove/

Willis likes to compare the economics of running the country to running a household budget. Lucky she doesn’t run our households, cos with her mismanagement how many of us would be struggling with the basics or homeless…oh

THE THING IS when Seymour announced the school lunches changes he said kids would be getting "normal" "non woke" food like sandwiches and fruit, and if that had actually HAPPENED, it would be so much less grim that the molten plastic poisoned slop tamariki are being served now.

My youngest son was marooned in the middle of the playroom at preschool when bricks from the old chimney breast exploded at high speed across the floor, leaving only the space his tiny body inhabited untouched. I know how lucky we were, though noone came away unscathed

Remembering the deadly quake in Ōtautahi 14 years ago and those who lost their lives. Remembering the dust and rubble and pale faces of my teens, evacuated from school to the park opposite the collapsed CCTV building. They saw too much that day.
