No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say

Itโ€™s way too late, but the truth has a way of coming out. Forget the airdrops and scrap GHF โ€” let the UN organizations resume their humanitarian delivery operations NOW to stop the ongoing starvation:

Text from Mychal reads: โ€œPeople feel so safe behind their keyboards to attack you when you speak up. Do not let that stop you! Words ARE hurtful, but they ARE temporary. Words of hope for those who need you and your voice are far more lasting. Support is so much louder than toxicity
Those libraries I love taught me to speak up for my neighbors who need me. Speak up for Gaza, for Palestine, for Sudan, for the Congo, for FAR too many more people that need us to be their voice, to prove to them they are not unseen ๐Ÿ’šโ€

Post as an example for Mychalโ€™s words are:
โ€œBye Mychal. Gaza is a gd war zone not a tourist resort and its every woe is because of Hamas. Grow tf up and learn something in those libraries you love.โ€

Libraries raised me. Libraries are third spaces. Libraries are so much more than just booksโ€ฆ libraries are community. Libraries teach us, encourage us to come together in joy, to come together to help our neighbors. Libraries know there are times where we turn up the volume on our library voice ๐Ÿ’š

Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Careerโ€”Hereโ€™s How To Say No Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at workโ€”extra tasks like onboarding or event planningโ€”and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

If you are only getting one week off every 12-18 months, you are being exploited.

"The administrator told the students they could relocate to the campus free-speech zone" Shouldn't all of campuses support free speech? There seems to be a fundamental shift in the purpose & nature of universities if free discussion of ideas is limited to small "zones"

Drowning Doesnโ€™t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

I wouldn't frame the young women's remarks as pro-Palestinian - rather, her remarks were anti child killing. How can such remarks cause harm? Shouldn't this be a universal position?

Invisible Gorillas in the Mind: Internal Inattentional Blindness and the Prospect of Introspection Training Abstract. Much of high-level cognition appears inaccessible to consciousness. Countless studies have revealed mental processesโ€”like those underlying our choices, beliefs, judgments, intuitions, etc.โ€”w...

A widespread view in psychology is that most cognitive processes are unconscious. In a new paper, I argue that many of these processes may evade consciousness for the same reason the "invisible gorilla" did: People fail to pay attention to them.

Stop what youโ€™re doing and watch this immediately.

Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived.

They are demanding action from Mark Carney.

Their testimony is our failure.
