Nothing to add.

@PaperWhispers
On the Epstein files:
1. Why is the press referring to girls as women?
2. Why is the press inventing a term, 'underage women', there is no such thing.
3. There is no such thing as 'sex with a child', it is called child rape or child sexual abuse.
Stop minimising the criminality.

On this day 24th November 1877 the novel Black Beauty was first published. Anna Sewell said she wrote the novel "to induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding treatment of horses" Artist: Harry Wingfield
Illustration showing a brown horse in a field with a small black foal. The foal has the distinctive white star on its forehead. (I’m sure those aren’t the right equestrian terms that they will have to do).

By my pen #Gaza #Genocide
My throat, my mind everything is numb except for my right hand, which writes to you the essence and fire of what has burned me.

I return to my initial question:

Am I afflicted with this disease of loving my homeland?

This ailment that has made me endure the bitterness of five wars in my lifetime in this land?

This disease that made me lose my aunt, her children, her grandchildren, and my uncle all beneath the soil?

This disease that, at its loudest, forces me to eat sand due to food scarcity and breathe dust, and for which I find no cure but to depart, far, far away.

Thalidomide, mad cow, cancers, obesity caused by food high in fat, salt, sugar are examples of diseases/disabilities manufactured in corporate boardrooms Companies don’t bear the social cost of irresponsibility. Corporations are private fiefdoms of execs. People have little say in their affairs.
