post from the palestinian youth movement instagram account: “If you're reading this, it means I have been killed-most likely targeted-by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old-a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents-anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people's side. By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest-something I haven't known in the past 18 months. I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people. I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free." - For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza

yeah i am not ok

The government will be defending its policy of arming Israel in the High Court in May. Clearly it doesn't help the government's case if the foreign secretary acknowledges the plain reality that Israel is in flagrant violation of international law. Therefore reality must be denied.

i firmly believe one of the main messages we should be telling our students about this whole thing is that generative ‘AI’ by definition will *never* have an original idea,
and if you use it, neither will *you*

Record number of children died crossing Channel last year, says UN Data from UN agency’s Missing Migrants Project should serve as ‘wake-up call’, say officials

Children who died because the policy is to expose them to the risk of dying, as a warning to others
