« Le ministre des Affaires étrangères empêche des Palestiniens de sortir de la bande de Gaza » Les avocats de Palestiniens bloqués à Gaza, soutenus par des associations, ont décidé de saisir en urgence le Conseil d’État pour contester la suspension des évacuations vers la France. Interview de Lyne Haigar, l’une des avocates ayant travaillé sur le recours.

La #LDH saisit la justice contre la décision très grave du ministère des affaires étrangères de suspendre toute opération d'évacuation de #Gaza en plein #génocide, même déjà organisée, alors que la CNDA a confirmé que le statut de réfugié peut être demandé par les Gazaouis.

Susanne Langer is criminally underappreciated. Thank you for putting together this great essay!

Glad you enjoyed it! The point isn't so much more doubt, but rather more trust in understanding what more and else reality is capable of. To an extent, making space for that requires that we pour cold water on some the universal and all-encompassing visions of reality that we are made accustomed to

Franz Kafka was a true pioneer being the first person to ask "would you still love me if I was a worm?"

the perfectionist’s creed:

if i do it and it’s not perfect,
i have failed.

if i don’t do it at all,
i have also failed.

either way, i must feel bad.

so it is written.

so it shall be done.

Your outie reads widely, absorbing books from all sorts of thinkers beyond your narrow academic specialization.

Your outie writes accessibly for the general public.

Your outie is concerned with good ideas and their transmission, not with petty things like tenure and prestige within your field.
