I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Abed. Abed is 31, his wife Bara and him were seeking out treatment so they could start a family before the war. They lost their home, he lost his job and Bara lost her university studies. He’s now supporting his extended family.

On the same day we learn over half of Britain’s 59 native butterfly species are in long-term decline & in what is already one of the most nature depleted countries in the world, this slash & burn approach to growth spells disaster for nature & for longterm sustainability

After a month of blocking all food from Gaza Israel says there is plenty of food in the strip. The UN says thats ridiculous. In other news all bakeries have now been forced to close because of a lack of flour and fuel.

Tahani Mustafa: Israels strategy "is to make the strip completely uninhabitable for its population.. what we are seeing is what many of us predicted from the outset.. you're going to see Gaza quite literally razed to the ground" Exactly.

My illustrator's take is that there's something especially c__ty about using AI to do woodcut imitations in a book about nature. Woodcuts work in nature books because the art style is slow, meditative, and involves contact with nature (cutting wood). The art style is a metaphor for the subject

Reeves’s statement will leave poorest £500 a year worse off, finds thinktank

Every job you get AI to do is cash taken from working people, usually low earning freelancers. That money is now not in the system. You are not only making the world poorer culturally, you are making the economy poorer. And since there is no workable financial model for AI, not even moving money up.

Labour MPs condemn Rachel Reeves’s ‘unacceptable’ welfare cuts. Labour MPs and Peers must oppose (I won't vote for it) this strategy. There are numerous alternatives to hitting the poorest. Mobilize opposition. Seek face to face meeting with your MP. Ask your friends/family to do the same.

Capitalism is a system where the poorest have to pay for everything because the richest are too busy hoarding all the money. It's not a flaw, it is how it is meant to be.
