This evening we lit a #YellowCandle in memory of Ilonka Eckstein. Ilonka was murdered in Auschwitz at just two years old.

Today, on Yom Hashoah, we remember Ilonka and the 6 million Jews who were murdered during the Shoah.

Never again.

IIRC @stephenkb.bsky.social wrote / spoke a while ago about the freedom of playing video games on easy mode and it changed my perspective entirely.

Gaming is fun! Am I talented at it? No, and that’s okay. I’ll happy choose easy mode.

Fwiw I dialled down my social media posting because of the volumes of antisemitic abuse I received on platforms. I didn’t intend for the decision to sound so blasΓ©.

What’s happening to Twitter isn’t inconvenient, it’s really horrifying.
