Crawling back here for some self-promotion: something about numbers and value, stories and endings, and a lament about an industry not fit for purpose killyourdarlings.com.au/article/the-an…

WEST BANK: A 16-year-old Palestinian girl was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper in Jenin. Lujain Musleh’s father says she was shot through the forehead while looking out of the window of their home. No other country on earth can get away with this level of barbarity.
Alaina Gougoulis retweeted
All civilian deaths are shocking and wrong, but I can’t imagine how deep the racism of your worldview must be to write this when you’ve said nothing remotely comparable about the genocide being conducted with British weapons. 40.000 lives and counting. You really are shameless.
I am completely shocked at the horrific and senseless killing of six hostages in Gaza by Hamas. My thoughts are with their loved ones at this awful time. Hamas must release all the hostages now, and a ceasefire deal must be agreed by all sides immediately to end the suffering.
You should have to pass a test and get a licence before you can send emails
@sophiebeerdraws it’s not so much an explainer but we got our big kid This Small Blue Dot which is so lovely on nice big-sibling relationship
