Honestly we reached a point where we're just waiting for the end even if that end is death.

Gaza is witnessing today a mass exodus towards the south in the attempts of the occupation to empty the north once again of its population, but this time everything is being destroyed.

Gaza is witnessing continuous displacement under bombardment and gunfire. In the Al-Saftawi area, Israeli tanks and bulldozers advanced, trapping residents inside their homes, while those who managed to escape were forced to flee under heavy shelling and gunfire.

All we hope for is to raise enough to cover our basic needs.

Comparing Netanyahu to Hitler, Israel to Nazi Germany, and the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people to The Holocaust is wrong.

Hitler, Nazi Germany, and The Holocaust are a dead villain, a defunct fascist state, and a historic genocide.

Netanyahu, Israel, and the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people are a living villain, an existing fascist state, and an ongoing genocide.

Hitler calls The Holocaust a “tragic mishap.” The Schutzstaffel said in a statement that it was “aware of reports that harm was caused to civilians” and that the Nazis are operating in an “extremely complex reality.” Hitler added that the Third Reich “are conducting a thorough investigation.”

The far right isn’t rising because people love them.
It’s rising because the media won’t stop handing them megaphones.

Why are extremists endlessly platformed while parties offering real change are pushed to the margins?

This isn’t balance. It’s manipulation.

“If you ask people who study the topic, they will tell you that a modern famine is a man-made disaster. Natural disasters can play a part. For example, flooding and drought can destroy crops, but relief agencies and wealthy governments can now get aid where it needs to go. So it is ultimately war and political will that keeps enough food from being grown or delivered in places like Ethiopia and Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, Haiti and North Korea and, of course, now in Gaza.”

@aral

Unfortunately Aral, 'twas ever thus. In the UK, for example, the 'Establishment', including the media, was generally sympathetic to fascism. There is a film of the Royal Family giving Nazi salutes. Lord Rothermere, owner of the The Daily Mail and Evening News, Lord Beaverbrook, owner of the Daily Express and the Evening Standard, were both Nazi sympathisers. Geoffrey Dawson, the editor of The Times was a member of the right-wing pro-Hitler group, the Anglo-German Fellowship... Even Churchill's trenchant opposition to Hitler was based not on opposition to fascism (he admired Mussolini) but on the threat German expansionism posed to British imperialism.

IMHO the moral vacuum of the West preexisted and Gaza only served as the cause to bring it to the surface

Were The Holocaust happening today, Western media would be awash with quotes from Hitler, the Third Reich, and Nazi sympathisers justifying it.

Israel has not only turned Gaza into a literal wasteland, it has also turned the West into a moral wasteland.

(And only the latter is self-inflicted.)

A list of 12 ADHD-friendly tips for getting stuff done !

An infographic with the title "12 EASY ADHD TIPS for GETTING STUFF DONE based on 'Driven to Distraction'". It features cartoon illustrations. This image shows tips 1, 2, and 3. Tip 1: Spice up your space. It says, "Your brain runs on vibes. So add color, play music, & use quirky tools!" The illustration shows a person with purple hair and headphones on, dancing and cooking in a kitchen. Tip 2: Accept the fear of things going too well. It advises, "Don't purposely mess it up just to make things more exciting." The illustration shows the person wrapped in a blanket on a couch with a cat, looking unhappily at a box labeled "UNNECESSARY CHAOS." Tip 3: O.H.I.O. (Only Handle It. Once). It explains to try and handle a message or email only once by either responding, deleting, or filing it immediately. The illustration shows an overwhelmed person at a desk with a large pile of papers and a flowchart demonstrating the O.H.I.O. method, warning not to leave items in a "LATER" box.
Tip 4: Use external structure. It says, "It does the remembering so you don't have to." The illustration shows a person with purple hair at a desk using sticky notes. Below are examples: "sticky notes," "labelled containers" for wires and stationery, a "pre-made routines for everyday tasks" checklist, and having "everything for one task in one place," showing a coffee station. Tip 5: Accept that you'll fail sometimes. It reads, "It's part of being human. Be okay with it, so you can move on without feeling crushed." The illustration shows the person in a garden, looking at a small plant they've accidentally uprooted, with a watering can nearby. Tip 6: Break tasks into tiny parts. It explains, "Tiny steps give you a sense of progress and hope." The illustration shows the person happily holding a single puzzle piece labeled "TINY TASK" from a large jigsaw puzzle labeled "BIG TASK."
Tip 7: Keep something handy to capture thoughts. It suggests, "Like a notepad or a speech-to-text app. (ADHD brains are leaky!)" The illustration shows the character writing in a notepad while on a bus or train. Tip 8: Hold on to reminders of what's good. The text is broken down into "the people who care..." and "...and the moments you succeed. no matter how small." The illustrations show the character smiling at a corkboard with photos, followed by separate images of photos with friends and mementos like a music festival wristband and a ticket. Tip 9: Physically direct your focus. It advises to "track text with your finger or pen, or use a lamp to highlight your work." The illustration shows the character at a desk, using a pen to follow along in a book under the light of a desk lamp.
Tip 10: Notice how and where you work best. It lists examples like "in a noisy cafe," "wrapped in blankets," and "listening to music," saying "whatever works." The illustrations show the character working on a laptop in these various settings. It concludes, "ADHDers can do their best under rather weird conditions." Tip 11: It's ok to do 2 things at the same time. The text suggests, "Jog while you plan. Knit while you chat. For ADHD, pairing physical and mental tasks can improve focus." The illustration shows the character knitting while on a video call on their laptop. Tip 12: Shifting mentally from one task to the next is tough. It advises, "Give yourself mini-breaks between tasks to help your brain switch to the next thing." The illustration shows the character taking a 5-minute break from their computer to play with a small dog.
