My brother didn't make it, he was found on the 11th. I'm heartbroken. I just wanted to let people know in case some hadn't heard. I likely won't be posting for a while. Thank you to everyone who helped by sharing posts and searching and sent love. It means the world. I wish he could see it all.

The deliberate misunderstanding of communication and even basic concepts is at unprecedented levels. This is a grad student, by the way. Such ignorance had been fuelled by feckless and unethical politicians and media, and we are all the worse for it. The future of the world feels bleak.
Screenshot from twitter. 

Tweet reads: "Before the genocide against Muslims in Spain, 80% of the population was Muslim. Now, the Muslim population in Spain is less than 5%. Spain, which was once a Muslim-majority state, has now become a Christian-majority state because of the genocide carried out against Muslims."

Grad student retweets with "They're now saying they're indigenous to Spain.

You can't make this up."

He literally did make it up. Twitter profile for the illiterate grad student "dedicated to combating anri-terrorism". The banner photo shows him with Trump.

...even though it might have saved so much time, money & stress, only for it to happen anyway & actually be a requirement should you want to publish something you've invested so much in.

Imagine persevering for months/years with a manuscript, refusing to use AI to summarise, cut, or restructure it partly because of academic rigour, ethical considerations & not wanting your unpublished material loaded into the these programs, evening paying for proof readers and editors...

even though it might have saved so much time, only for it to happen anyway when you're ready to publish. Ludicrous.

The world is not over populated, by the way, that's just white supremacist thinking. The world is over capitalised. Capitalism is literally the problem. For decades these companies would rather waste perfectly good food than give it away because they were concerned it'd affect their profits.

I once had to pour hundreds of bottles of wine down the drain because there was a problem with the label. Also skip fulls of toys and clothes. Not to mention the massive sacks of food every day.

And I really think people have no idea the amount of food, drink, clothing & non-food goods that gets thrown away in every store every day. It's truly incredible.

About time. I worked for Tesco for 5 years. We were not allowed to take or redistribute expiring food or goods, everything had to be thrown in the skip, some retailers put bleach in their skips to spoil it on purpose. No one was interested in anyone's ideas regarding donating or charity then.

The Tax Justice Network lists three former British colonies, now overseas dependencies, as the most complicit jurisdictions in global tax abuse. They help deprive governments of $87bn per year, over 5 times the UK’s aid programme: www.declassifieduk.org/the-empire-n...

The Empire never died
The British Empire is still with us, in the UK’s island outposts and military bases, in the plunder of other countries’ resources, and in UK officials’ imperial mindset.

'BuT wHaT aBoUt ThE aFriCaN sLaVeRs?!' - is the immediate response of those uneducated on the transatlantic trade in enslaved people from Africa (see, also: racists & imperial apologists). So let's do a bit of an examination on the relationship between Britain and Africans🧵 1/

No Brain (by Dr Ezzin in Gaza) whose writing is as excruciating as it is exquisite in its witness-bearing - rerendered here as poetry.
No Brain
"Teratogenic damage.
Developmental failure.
Genetic disfigurement, not by chance, but by war.
Bombs struck not only buildings, but chromosomes.
The weapons, steel, shiny, American,
fell not just to destroy the present, but to corrupt the womb.
To poison the idea of tomorrow.
And here, beneath the rubble, the deepest wound is in the womb.
I saw her yesterday.
The mother.
She didn't cry.
She only looked.
Her arms were empty.
She had carried a daughter with no brain.
But the child had eyelashes.
Fingers.
And that's the most terrible thing:
that life tried.
That the body obeyed.
That, even in apocalypse, the cells kept building."
By Dr Ezzideen. Gaza @ezzingaza

Hello! I'm really floored by your kindness, and extremely sheepish about how delayed this reply is. I love the idea of paying things forward 🤗 I'm going to shift to a DM, hope that's okay?
