Gaza is “on brink of catastrophe” as aid runs out and prices soar. Within hours of the ceasefire ending in March, Israel blocked food, fuel, and medicine from entering Gaza. Aid warehouses are now empty. This is collective punishment by any other name. 2 million Palestinians are being starved.

Arresting women who know how to do their jobs correctly. Facism. Not facist tactics, not far right. This is facism.

Trans women are routinely denied healthcare, safe housing and dignity. This isn’t an accident. It is hate, fuelled by those in power. Trans rights are human rights — and I will always stand with the trans community.

One reason the Earth is sick is people think the extra pay they get in higher tier jobs relates to explaining what they know to be true. Things would look different if it was taken to facilitate them to serve and listen to others. A nuance Obama and Carter strived to achieve.

If you’re masking to avoid Covid and get sick … please don’t feel guilty. It’s much harder to avoid when everyone has adopted the “you do you” approach to public health. Remember that your mitigations likely lowered viral load, and kept you from infecting anyone else. It’s true community care.
