"The US-ISR proposition to control the distribution of supplies in #gaza #palestine, under the guise of humanitarian aid raises grave humanitarian, ethical, security and legal concerns, says Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
MSF firmly rejects and condemns any plan that further reduces availability of aid and subjugates it to ISR military occupation objectives.

articles such as this always get me thinking about why SF politics is so much worse and I think part of it is that progressives are disunited and can't hold accountable our politicians who get elected and pivot right (Mandelman), focus on the wrong issues (Chan, reopening a highway) or think they're above us.

"Poppy Field (Giverny)," Claude Monet, 1890/91.
Y'all know Monet by now.
This is one of four poppy-field paintings he did in the area around his home in Giverny. While not really a "series" per se, and they all had different poppy fields, they are now a treasured sight.
Here we have an almost-perfect summer scene...the blooming flowers, the trees in full leaf, the blue sky, and even the forested hill in the background all give a feeling of a lovely summer day.
Happy Flower Friday!

in reply to This spaceship does not exist • • •The image depicts a scene in an urban environment with a large, weathered aircraft fuselage prominently positioned in the foreground. The fuselage, marked with the number "28" in red, is painted in a faded blue and orange, with visible signs of rust and wear. It is situated on a street lined with tall, dilapidated buildings, suggesting a post-apocalyptic or dystopian setting. The ground is littered with debris, and a motorcycle is parked nearby. Two individuals, one wearing an orange jacket and the other in a yellow top, are walking away from the viewer towards a covered area, possibly a bus stop. The atmosphere is hazy, with birds flying in the background, adding to the sense of abandonment. The overall color palette is muted, with a predominance of blues, grays, and greens, contributing to the desolate mood of the scene.
