Spooky socks for this week's #showmeyourknits! I made this pair for my son 12 years ago, using motifs from the "Deathflake Mittens" pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitting #strandedcolorwork

Aseel Baidoun from @medicalaidpal.bsky.social : "From previous exp as Palestinians we cannot trust the Israeli govt... we fear the moment the Israelis receive the hostages they will continue mass killing Palestinians in Gaza & continue their plan to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza"

Daniel Levy: "Netanyahu has reneged on these deals in the past & may well be looking for the first opportunity to be able to resume hostilities when he can in Gaza. In the meantime one should expect the destruction, displacement, killing in the West Bank will continue"

Francesca Albanese: "The request to demilitarise and deradicalise Gaza... in the name of Israels security. Where is the security of the Palestinians, who have been attacked without respite for decades... where is the demilitarisation and deradicalisation of Israels society?"

Today's posts will be up shortly. I've just got home from a hellish shift at work last night. But that's me off for 10 days now.

#BlackHistoryMonth is always a wonderful excuse to share my all-time favourite team photo. 📷 This is the mighty - and very cool - #Luton United #Cricket Club in 1974. ❤️🏏

One from the archives. Back in January BBC News apologised for the error of calling Israeli hostages 'prisoners'. But they never apologise for calling the thousands of Palestinian hostages 'prisoners', do they? Of course they don't because that's not an error, its deliberate.

New review from the Fantasy Nerdinator!!

Jonathan Ashworth: "I've wanted to see a ceasefire for 2 years" The collective position of the Labour shadow cabinet (which you were part of) for months after October 7th was to reject a ceasefire & Labour instructed its MPs not to vote for a ceasefire in Nov 2023.

Let me rest in peace Let me get some sleep . . . Why won't you let me rest in peace? (There was a tiger mosquito in the bedroom.)

The thousands of hostages we never hear about.

Went to a used book sale. Oops.

Palestinian Dr Mohammed Abu Mughaiseer from MSF was in Gaza throughout Israel genocide (he only recently left) & he is asked about the medical infrastructure in the strip. He uses his answer to pay tribute to the medical staff there.

Palestinian Dr Mohammed Abu Mughaiseer from MSF lived and worked in Gaza throughout the last 2 years. Last month he was evacuated for medical reasons, and Israel only allowed him to take his phone & the clothes on his back.

Conversion therapy for minors is child abuse. It robs them of the two things they need most: a secure attachment with their parents rooted in acceptance, care and unconditional love; and a secure attachment to their own precious, authentic selves.

James Elder from UNICEF is asked, what do children in Gaza need most & need now? As well as talking about nutrition & healthcare, Elder points out that education in Gaza has been under attack & he asks, why has Israel been denying education as part of a humanitarian response?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Trotz Trumps Forderung nach einem sofortigen Ende der Bombardierung setzt Israel laut palästinensischen Angaben seine Luftangriffe auf Gaza fort. Berichten zufolge gab es am Morgen Tote und Verletzte.

Why are European states not meeting their obligations under international law? @yarahawari.bsky.social : "I think the very obvious answer to that is because of their complicity in the genocide"

Overnight Israel bombarded Gaza City with artillery and air strikes. Tareq Abu Azzoum reporting.

"Do you call this a genocide?" Humza Yousaf: "Yes" "Do you see the UK govt as complicit in genocide now?" "Completely"

The very opposite of Punk.

Today's quick update [Aug 5]: - Elfashir Resistance Committee: RSF forcibly evacuated Zamzam IDP Camp, turning it into a military base; foreign mercenaries have been brought in to attack the city. #KeepEyesOnSudan

THREAD Handy tip for anyone wanting to use websites like GNoH for press releases, cover reveals, news items, etc. 600 words is the minimum word count for Google to take notice of it; ideally, 1000 words or more is best. This is one time where size does matter.

Overnight Israel bombed a UN run clinic in Gaza city where displaced Palestinians were sheltering.

Very powerful stuff from the President of Ireland on stopping the starvation in #gaza

OLIVER: "Gaza is starving is a sentence that's objectively true, but it's also slightly misleading because it's too passive — Gaza is being starved by Israel."

"We were just looking at the some of the pictures of the complete devastation there. Frankly there isn't a lot left of Gaza at the moment" But you'll still look into the camera & report on slaughtered kids according to the Hamas run health ministry, right Ben?

A million Americans have died of COVID since this was printed. Reports estimate that hundreds still die of it every week. But the majority got bored of their neighbors' survival. The alienation is a wound in my heart that has never closed. I try to be kind, but I feel alone everywhere.

Gaza and it's people are being annihilated but visiting bluesky you'd think nothing is happening. Fuck that!

palestinians get all their accounts deleted on bluesky even if they don't post replies, tag people, or mass follow. it happened to maha, it happened to sakher (both in the thread). please donate so they can get what they need ❤️

Tulips are gone, but the roses have started.

As we mark Nakba Day on May 15, millions of Palestinian refugees are languishing in camps as Israeli authorities accelerate the forced displacement of Palestinian communities. Governments should press Israel to honor Palestinian refugees' right of return.

Oops, nearly forgot to dance naked in the garden as it's Walpurgisnacht.

NEW: Jordanian authorities have forcibly evicted and demolished homes and shops in an informal Palestinian refugee camp in Amman. This was done without adequate consultation, notice, compensation process, relocation help, or means of redress. Read more:
