The US has adopted Israel's cruel plan for food aid for Gaza, which would (1) require the whole population to go to four places in the south of Gaza and (2) pass face recognition gates while armed guards point guns at them. Many people in Gaza are so weak from hunger that they can't possibly walk such a distance. They would be killed. Meanwhile, Israel has persistently refused to prosecute gratuitous killing of

The image depicts a dramatic scene of a large rocket launching from a barren, rocky landscape. The rocket, with a pointed nose cone and a cylindrical body, is emitting a bright orange flame and thick plumes of smoke as it ascends into the dark sky. The ground is covered with scattered rocks and debris, suggesting a desolate environment, possibly a moon or a planet. In the background, several other rockets are visible, some of which are also launching, creating a sense of a coordinated launch event. The sky is a deep black, dotted with stars, emphasizing the vastness of space. The overall color palette is dominated by oranges, yellows, and blacks, creating a striking contrast. The scene is dynamic, with the motion of the rocket and the smoke adding to the intensity of the moment.

in reply to Smudge The Insult Cat 🐀 • • •Completely agreed.
I like having contact with other people, but I prefer to keep a certain distance even with friends. And friends in particular like to overstep certain boundaries, which can be very stressful.
In my life, I've often put my heart and soul into relationships with other people, be it relatives, friends or men in a partnership. Everything together was certainly beautiful, but the bottom line was that it was too often hurtful. I won't do it like that anymore.
