Israel Still Blocking Aid to Civilians in Gaza The Israeli government is deliberately deepening the suffering of civilians in Gaza by refusing to restore the flow of water and electricity and blocking fuel shipments. Willfully impeding relief supp...

Gaza’s infrastructure relies on the flow of electricity and drinking water from Israel and supply trucks entering via Israeli crossings.

By blocking necessary aid, Israel is punishing all of Gaza’s civilians for Hamas’s attacks.

this shit fucking sucks

I took my last dose of Paxlovid this morning and finally feel like I’m on the mend. It’s criminal that anyone should have to weigh their ability to afford it against other expenses moving forward. The toll of the virus is devastating enough.

i just want to be sure everyone knows that there is absolutely NO privacy on this fucking website. the firehose-- every post being made by everyone-- is publicly available by API. do not post anything on here you don't want scraped and used by bad actors

As expected, the "news" that water has been restored to southern Gaza was false, just something Jake Sullivan said on a TV show in response to tough questioning.

Which as @brainnotonyet.antifa.llc just noted is very much the point: if information is so muddied truth can't be established, there IS no truth, and we are free to pick and choose what to believe according to our preconceptions.

Israel edits a tweet deflecting responsibility for the Gaza hospital attack 22 minutes after it is posted to wholly remove three timestamped videos (presented in multiplex) whose relevance had been called into question.

A landmark moment in the history of the tweet editing function.

(In the interim between the original and edited tweets, reporters noted that the time stamp of the videos didn't match the timing of the Gaza hospital attack.)

make being earnest 'cool' this and that your honor . I am the most earnest person I know and it's humiliating

This statement from Jeremy Corbyn on Gaza and Israel is exactly what is called for. tribunemag.co.uk/2023/10/jere...

the babygirlification of all my friends

I know intellectually how little our lives are worth to the "international community" but the past few days have been a very sickening reminder. I feel it in my body, how people think of me and other Palestinians.

Israel-Palestine live: Non-stop Israeli raids killing 'two Palestinians every 10 minutes' Palestinians in Gaza urge world to stop looming humanitarian disaster

Israeli raids on Gaza today have killed an average of more than two Palestinians every 10 minutes, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor says. It is shaping up to be the deadliest day since Israel started a retaliatory and indiscriminate bombing campaign against the besieged enclave last weekend.

I’d bookmark this if you’re a journalist, policymaker, patient, carer, or anyone at all with a connection to long Covid, ME/CFS, and their related illnesses. Concise but a lot packed in, and good refs.

This reminds me of Thich Nhat Hahn’s quote supporting walking meditation: “Mindfulness is to remember that life is a wonder; we are here and we should live our lives deeply.”

I really had the right idea would love to lie down and do nothing but read fanfic for the next 4 hours
