Afnan asked me to post these photos for her.

She is volunteering in an education initiative 2km away from her own tent and needs our support. Please help her if you can and share if you can’t

A selfie of a beautiful hijabi woman with text overlay which reads The teacher AFNAN
Mother of two children
The war has wasted the most beautiful days of our lives, we are living famine, fear, anxiety, displacement and an unbearable tent life
We were living a life together, we became on the street.
I need you hunger made me lean
Supporting me with a donation is the reason I survived

Four children sat two on either side of a school desk which has paper and a pencil and a ruler on it. All four children are giving the camera a thumbs up and two are smiling, but I don’t know how to put into words the horror that is reflected in all of their eyes

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hadeel. Before the war Hadeel’s husband was a fisherman and they tried for 11 years before they had their first child Hani who is 10 now they also have a daughter Dana, 6 and little Adam who is just 2. They’re displaced and struggling.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

Nobody can afford to drink in the pub until 2am on the regular, and staying open means paying wages and electricity bills etc etc, so all this will do is make people say “what?! Closing already??!!” at 11pm on a fucking Thursday when they’re the only fucker in the fucking pub

Pubs to stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth

Exclusive: Plans for England and Wales would help ailing hospitality sector but health experts criticise move Pubs, clubs and restaurants will be able to open into the early hours as part of Labour’s drive for economic growth, a move which critics say will lead to more drunken disorder. Ministers are pushing ahead with plans to allow premises that sell alcohol to extend their opening hours in order to boost “the British night out” and help the hospitality sector.

I lost my patience the other day with the 10,000th person to ask “is it always this quiet?” on a Tuesday night in a backstreet boozer. There are so many topics available for small talk, the slow death of my industry is one I’d rather avoid tbh!

Having breezed past six (6) deadlines, I did my 5k word GCSE essay on Jane Eyre the night before it was being sent to the exam board for moderation. Finished it at 5:25am and got an A

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

A European Union? Great idea! Makes sense geographically and the idea lends itself to the borderless future my heart desires!!

This European Union? Absolutely not thanks!

Israelis are hostages. But Palestinians are prisoners.

Language matters. But, two years on, apparently it still doesn’t to many mainstream media outlets.

What a failure it has been.

A news alert text from Sky News. It says:
Lists of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be released under swap deal have been exchanged, Hamas says.
