I’m so happy to see this. The lack of journalistic solidarity & collective action over the killing of journalists in Gaza has been distressing.

Will @nujofficial.bsky.social step up & follow this lead?

Over a quarter of Trump's proposed $1T military budget would go to just four companies who have spent $103B in taxpayer dollars on stock buybacks and dividends over the last decade.

He wants to use your money to make the military-industrial complex even richer.

There are few things more delightful than reading to write; building something new for readers to inhabit, inspired by the blueprints of expertly conceived literary architecture.

After two years of violence, #Gaza’s children are finally breathing moments of quiet.

The fragile ceasefire has given children a chance to breathe, connect, play and even start to heal.

But trauma, injury, grief, and shattered childhoods will take far longer to heal.

Today would've been my father's 106th birthday. I'm sure he would've been proud and delighted to see that his youngest granddaughter tried to reenact his most famous photo at the Acropolis earlier this year.

It would seem that, as one moves ever-closer to a box of one's own, one feels an ever-stronger tendency to place one's smaller valuables in nifty containers, as if one is preparing to hike into the grey hereafter.

Remember, kids, it’s not about being right, it’s about wondering what the truths might be and where they might hide.

Useless Writing Exercise No. 002

1. Try to withdraw further and further into yourself.
2. Imagine yourself getting smaller and smaller.
3. Do you feel like a minuscule nonentity?
4. You are now fully prepared for your writing career.

It never ceases to amaze me that America's two right-wing parties have somehow managed to convince Americans that one of them is left of centre, because it is slightly to the left of the most right-wing party.

If we keep fighting against things, our opponents will keep creating new monsters for us to fight, which is why we should focus on finding creative new ways to fight for the greater good.
