Never in my life did I think I will see a man waving his arms as he burns alive. Never in my life did I think I will see a beheaded baby. Never in my life did I think I will see a child's remains hanging on a wall. Never in my life did I think I will see a pregnant woman hung from her roof. Never in my life did I think I will see two boys crushed under the rubble, their eyes literally popped out. Never in my life did I think I will see people gathering their loved ones' remains into plastic bags.

All in just one year out of the 76 others of Israeli genocide.

What a cruel way to really understand how much Palestinian life is worth to this garbage fucking world.

ROME, October 16 — RIA Novosti. Italy has imposed the toughest restrictions among its allies on arms exports to Israel, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said.

"After the start of the Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip, the Government immediately suspended the issuance of all new licenses for the export of military materials to Israel. Thus, all contracts signed after October 7 were not executed. All export licenses issued before October 7 were analyzed on a case-by-case basis," Meloni said, speaking in the Senate of the Italian Parliament on the eve of the EU summit on October 17-18.

"Italy's position, which consists in a complete block of all new export licenses, is much stricter, much more restrictive than those applied by partners: France, Germany, Great Britain. They continue to evaluate new licenses on an individual basis," Meloni stressed.

She noted that with the complete suspension of the issuance of new licenses, Italy is evaluating old permits, taking measures where there is a risk that this military "material can be used in the current crisis."

thinking about when i was small, how my mom told me that pipe cleaners were just a tool until people started idly shaping things with them and it grew so popular that they were marketed as crafting materials. and that story about how the original frisbees were disposable pie plates that students flattened to throw. and how when i was a child i had a wooden mancala set with shiny, colorful stones, but on invention it was played with rocks and grooves dug into the dirt. and middle school, paper football and tic-tac-toe and mash and mad libs, games that just need pen and paper. and before that, games of pretend with pirates and princes and masked marauders. how at slumber parties after lights out, we used to whisper storytelling games, i say one sentence and you say the next. and shadow puppets. and the way all the kids in the neighborhood used to divide into teams and throw fallen pine cones at one another. and the floor is lava game, and the quiet game, and the games i play with my coworkers that are just words and retention. and "put a finger down" on the high school bus. and little girls clapping together, and how the first jump-rope was undoubtedly just a length of rope who knows how long ago, and how natural it is to play, how we seek play at every age and with any resources we have and with whatever time we can squeeze it into in a day. i'm not an anthropologist or a psychologist but i think after food and shelter and water and air what comes next is games and stories and laughter. i think that there is nothing -- not sex or fighting or forming unlikely bonds with animals -- there is nothing more human than to play.

My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency

i get asked fairly often what my opinion on k9 units is and this might surprise people, but i actually don't really like to talk about the animal welfare concerns surrounding k9 units (and MWDs as well, but i get asked about those less often)

i think dwelling on the animal welfare aspect of it sort of distracts from the main issue, which is that these animals are being used as living weapons against marginalized people (predominantly black people) and even if they were treated like royalty I'd still want them abolished altogether
