"Building a pod for ourselves + being part of others pods is a critical kind of community infrastructure we can invest in creating. The kind that is endlessly adaptable, hard to destroy and a kind of renewable resource we can draw from again and again."

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.
Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.
