Local journalists make everything Middle East analysts do possible

Israel's murder of Anas al-Sharif and several other journalists isn't just an egregious war crime during a genocide

It's a direct attack on the world's ability to know what's going on in Gaza

Remember that

Mohamad could use help- he usually only posts about his garden so I know he needs help if he asks for this post to be shared ❤️

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. Mahmoud worked in construction and his wife was an English teacher prior to this. They have two small children Ibrahim, 3 and Alma, 1. They lost their homes and jobs and are living in a tent in Gaza City (which is being attacked now).

If copyright issues have the capacity to ruin you, you work through those issues first, and THEN you train your LLM.

Another execrable shorthand I’ve come to loathe over the years: “ohhh, so you want a pony?” Yes, if a pony is not denying very basic human rights for trans people or stopping the systemic genocide of innocent Palestinians, I do want a fucking pony. You disingenuous cretin.

Despite requests from Indigenous leaders, HBC artifacts will not be returned Those interested in the items have been required to sign non-disclosure agreements

SCOOP: HBC demands NDA in order to view catalogue of art & artifacts

Canadian Heritage has neither means nor motivation to stop largest sale of Canadiana, ever

Sacred Indigenous items to be auctioned; academics shut out

this is an excellent essay.

"More often than not, it is those sacrificed zones, the Polands and Lebanons and Palestinian refugee camps of this world, that reveal the true nature of authoritarian regimes."

More trans girls in sports. More trans girls in crafts. More trans girls in art. More trans girls at the book club. More trans girls at the ttrpg association. More trans girls at the birdwatching club. More trans girls at the model UN. More trans girls absolutely everywhere society is taking place.

Wish Mohammed a happy birthday ❤️

Some food supplies have arrived expensive, but less than in last months.
But medical care is still non-existent
All day I've been searching for glucose, painkillers, and antibiotics, and I've only found expired items.
Please, Molly, Majd is still in danger.😭💔
Stay by my side.

I'm exhausted and so scared. I don't want to stay here anymore.

Is anyone listening? Please get me out of here.
I can no longer buy milk for my family. Migo wants milk. 50$only😭

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rateeba. Rateeba is a widow and the mother of Mohammad, Ahmed and Maha. She is worried about their education- The boys have had to stop their studies and Maha is trying to finish her last year of high school. They are struggling to survive.

"Parenths have legitimate concerns."

White parents had legitimate concerns about integration. Why should we give a fuck about the legitimate concerns of bigots

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Israel is storing recordings of Palestinians daily phone calls - millions of them - that they analyse to plan airstrikes / kill people - in Irish data centres

If you're a historian who was disgusted by the AHA's recent pro-AI bullshit, the awesome @cjdenial.bsky.social has a good answer

I don't, in fact, have to take Nazis seriously. Not now. Not ever, Pete.

Samaa is getting very close to her due date

Rateeba was living off a little more than $100 a month in pension before all of this so you know she knows how to make do with very little but she wants to be able to help her kids survive and also pursue their education ❤️

It’s good I suppose that it took a western outlet to show us Gaza from the sky & it’s total destruction, which is shocking, but many of us have been saying this for months, it also feels a bit racially coded that you didn’t believe the Gazan journos & somehow didn’t class them as journalists at all

I’m staring at the sentence about using “generative AI to produce a historical image.”

What does the word “historical” mean in this sentence? Vibes?

Seriously, fuck off.
I say that with all due gravity.

Israel kills 74 in Gaza, allows just 14% of aid needed in enclave each day Government Media Office says only 86 trucks are entering Gaza each day, as Israel continues to kill aid seekers.

Tulips, tulips, everywhere tulips

If youre celebrating Canada dropping a tiny bit of aid over Gaza, think again.

For MONTHS thousands of aid trucks have been waiting to enter Gaza. They have been denied entry. Canada has done nothing to pressure Israel to open the border.

The air drop is propaganda.

“This committee recognizes that generative AI tools offer significant opportunities to improve teaching and student learning.” Okay why would you recognize that. Based on fucking what.

U.S. and Europe play games with a Palestinian state while Israel starves Gaza France, Great Britain, and Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state might matter someday. But, as usual, the Palestinians won’t get any immediate help from Europe, much less from North America, in…

France, Great Britain, and Canada's recognition of a Palestinian state might matter someday. But, as usual, the Palestinians won't get any immediate help from Europe, much less from North America, in stopping the Gaza genocide now. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/u-s-...
