Poor 6-year-old Garam needs urgent medical care. She has to get out of Gaza to receive the treatment she desperately needs. So far, as you can see, her GFM campaign is barely making it off the ground. Please please please donate and share πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ gofundme.com/f/Save-Garam

"Bringing back, then going back" A big billboard in Tel Aviv by the Hostages' Families Forum. The message seems to be that Israel should bring back the hostages and then resume the genocide in Gaza. Everything's so fucked up.

UChicago was always like that (smart, kinda high-achieving ivy rejects), & if it's worse now, it's bc the institution itself courted it by joining the common app around 2007 and sending high-achieving hs students swag. $ > "character"

Heads up to prospective advisees: I'm hoping to acclimate more to UNC before taking on new PhD students. I'll give it consideration if you work on the same language(s), but please don't be discouraged if I can't make such a commitment yet.

I sent Saajja and her family $50 just now. They are 10 people and have been displaced over a dozen times in Gaza. The cost of food and basic household goods is exorbitant, and they are trying to survive. Will any of my mutuals or followers join me?πŸ™β€οΈ paypal.com/paypalme/Saajj…

We invest words with meaning. Once again, "humanitarian zone"--like "democracy" and "morality" (i.e., "the most moral army in the world")--means its exact opposite in Israel.

There's a difference between saying we, as humans, are capable of Nazi-like behavior and thought, as opposed to our expression of such thought or carrying out of such behavior. Understanding the former is important in preventing the latter. You're not immune to it.
