What kind of home is left for us once we are forced out?
We carry our fear with us everywhere, as if it has become a part of who we are.
Displacement after displacement… humiliation on top of injustice…
The same cycle of suffering repeats each day.
We are tired of searching for a “safe place” in a land where safety no longer exists.
This is our life: carrying the few belongings we have left, moving again and again, still asking — where can we go?

The western area of #Gaza City, full of hotels and restaurants and famous as a recreational and leisure space for residents… has turned into a large camp and shelter for displaced people

The disaster is that the occupation threatens to push all these numbers—and many times more—towards the south!

(Also, a bug in the first code listing: I should be initialising this.data to `{}` (empty object) instead of `’’` (empty string). It’s confusing and could cause a crash if you were doing lookup before the value was populated. It snuck in because the property actually was a string earlier on.)

I haven’t added an example of how you implement migrations with Kitten’s¹ built-in JSDB database² yet but here’s one that I just used when renaming a field (property) in a table (JavaScript object) from “account” to “data” that illustrates the general granular approach you should take within persisted instances of JavaScript classes.

This is, of course, an advanced use case of the built-in JavaScript database that all Kitten apps have.

Kitten is simple for simple use cases. So check out the Persistence tutorial, for example, to see how easy it is to get started with JSDB in Kitten:

https://kitten.small-web.org/tutorials/persistence/

And see the Database App Modules tutorial for a more advanced usage where you persist instances of JavaScript classes and have full type safety:

All my dreams are about running from the bombs and seeing fires,

This wasn’t a poem. It was just a message in passing to a friend this morning. And yet, also, a poem.

Analysis: What if the US stopped supporting Israel tomorrow?

Half of US voters believe Israel is committing genocide & six in 10 oppose further military aid.

Four experts offer their analyses:

Hamze Attar, defence analyst
Ori Goldberg, Israeli political scientist
HA Hellyer, Center for American Progress
Daniel Levy, former Israeli government adviser.

Hello everyone! I am Joy, a Palestinian writer and poet, I have just migrated from Blue Sky platform, after they deleted my accounts after I received a lot of interest, followers and fans for my writings and poems that I published on my personal page. Blue Sky platform decided that they will fight all Palestinian writers, and the only accusation is their nationality and their voice that they chose to silence and bury alive, but I am here now to complete my journey 💗

I love the fire everywhere, atomic breath, and the textured glass for its body.

The federal judge let Google off the hook in the antitrust case that the company supposedly lost. He said no to any serious remedy. And he indirectly killed Mozilla (Firefox and Thunderbird).

A good day for Google, and a terrible day for what's left of the open web.

What I remember about my EMS days mostly were a few near-PTSD-inducing jobs (none as intense as the one at the end of the article, though), but chiefly a level of camaraderie that I've rarely encountered sense (perhaps helped by the lens of nostalgia). I was an EMS medic in the early 80's, before it merged into FDNY, still during the long tail of the city's financial crisis. Everything was breaking all the time. The city was more violent. But it felt meaningful, and we had each other's backs.

That said, at this particular moment, I am very definitely likely to react uncharitably to strangers advising me to be "nicer" or "more understanding".

Ditto "you have a lot of followers so you have to expect this/accept this". No, I really don't. No one does.

I'm coming to the conclusion, perhaps late to the party, that the old Twitter troll farms have started to migrate here in earnest. Or this place has recently attracted a much higher than usual number of very angry, unhinged people. Or maybe both.

Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed.

"Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.
