I'm heartbroken.
I just wanted to let people know in case some hadn't heard. I likely won't be posting for a while.
Thank you to everyone who helped by sharing posts and searching and sent love. It means the world.
I wish he could see it all.
Thank you Verena, it means a lot

Now, the Muslim population in Spain is less than 5%. Spain, which was once a Muslim-majority state, has now become a Christian-majority state because of the genocide carried out against Muslims." Grad student retweets with "They're now saying they're indigenous to Spain. You can't make this up." He literally did make it up.
Twitter profile for the illiterate grad student "dedicated to combating anri-terrorism". The banner photo shows him with Trump.
The deliberate misunderstanding of communication and even basic concepts is at unprecedented levels.
This is a grad student, by the way.
Such ignorance had been fuelled by feckless and unethical politicians and media, and we are all the worse for it. The future of the world feels bleak.
Sending love, Laleh

Ludicrous.

The world is over capitalised.
Capitalism is literally the problem.
For decades these companies would rather waste perfectly good food than give it away because they were concerned it'd affect their profits.
I once had to pour hundreds of bottles of wine down the drain because there was a problem with the label.
Also skip fulls of toys and clothes.
Not to mention the massive sacks of food every day.
And I really think people have no idea the amount of food, drink, clothing & non-food goods that gets thrown away in every store every day.
It's truly incredible.
About time. I worked for Tesco for 5 years.
We were not allowed to take or redistribute expiring food or goods, everything had to be thrown in the skip, some retailers put bleach in their skips to spoil it on purpose.
No one was interested in anyone's ideas regarding donating or charity then.
The Tax Justice Network lists three former British colonies, now overseas dependencies, as the most complicit jurisdictions in global tax abuse. They help deprive governments of $87bn per year, over 5 times the UKβs aid programme:

'BuT wHaT aBoUt ThE aFriCaN sLaVeRs?!' - is the immediate response of those uneducated on the transatlantic trade in enslaved people from Africa (see, also: racists & imperial apologists). So let's do a bit of an examination on the relationship between Britain and Africansπ§΅ 1/

The weapons, steel, shiny, American, fell not just to destroy the present, but to corrupt the womb. To poison the idea of tomorrow. And here, beneath the rubble, the deepest wound is in the womb. I saw her yesterday. The mother. She didn't cry. She only looked. Her arms were empty. She had carried a daughter with no brain. But the child had eyelashes. Fingers. And that's the most terrible thing: that life tried. That the body obeyed. That, even in apocalypse, the cells kept building." By Dr Ezzideen. Gaza @ezzingaza
No Brain (by Dr Ezzin in Gaza) whose writing is as excruciating as it is exquisite in its witness-bearing - rerendered here as poetry.
