Today's genuinely baffling tale of Victorian childhood...
February 1859.
Emmeline Southwell is 10 weeks old and has been in a furious teething rage for some hours. Her mum is bloody knackered. So she does what we've all yearned to do, and decides to DRUG THE CHILD INTO SILENCE.

In less than 2 minutes, the representative for the State of Palestine at the UN, eviscerates the entire myth of Western "civilization" under the US Military Industrial Complex. This should be mandatory viewing in schools and universities throughout the Western world, if we do want to learn about upholding human rights, before we even begin to preach them to others.
1/2 ‘War confuses people, especially the adults who wage them. They get lost in technicalities and self-deception, the desire to be righteous in their pain and victimhood, no matter what the cost. As a child it was so clear to me what needed to be done...’ theguardian.com/world/2023/o…
2/3 ‘… I would get angry after each experience of hiding from the shells. I didn’t understand it then, but there was such intelligence in my anger. It didn’t manifest as a desire for revenge or the need to make me or my family into victims who couldn’t recover our life…’
3/3 ‘or our humanity. It came out as a resolute demand that played over & over in my 10-yo head, & has echoed ever since: STOP KILLING CHILDREN.’ Activist, writer & @AmnaHealing founder @ZarlashtH’s 1st-hand terrors of being a child living under siege. #StopKillingChildren #Gaza

I sincerely hope that the UKRI refers here to being concerned by Donelan’s own comments in the letter (especially the last two paragraphs), not the tweets by the committee members.
A thread on the effects of growing up with and living with the twin influences of the dehumanisation of others + an alternate historical narrative.

"How many more children have to die… for the world to say this is enough?"
Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf tells @C4Ciaran the UK government's abstention from a UN resolution calling for a humanitarian truce in Gaza is "a shameful abdication of their moral responsibility".

Good afternoon (or morning, or evening). I went dark yesterday, really dark. But I managed to sleep and I have some clarity about the Al Ahli hospital massacre that I want to share with you. I'll only tweet this rambling thread today and then log off. Please read and share.
