This week’s piece was a very personal one:
I wrote about why I left academia, why I left America, why I left Substack – and why I am asking for support as I am starting over as a full-time independent writer.

'What? They took your familiar?'
Tiana nodded to her friend Freida. 'They said I didn't take good care of him and would find him a proper home.'
'Do they even know what he's like?'
Tiana shrugged. 'Probably not. I expect they'll bring him back soon enough.'
As soon as she said it, someone knocked on the door. A ragged man covered in bruises and bandages stumbled inside. He held up a hamster and muttered. 'We deeply apologise for our misunderstanding.'

Judith Scheytt, a German member of #GlobalSumudFlotilla, published in Instagram a mail sent to her from German Federal Foreign Office (German: Auswärtiges Amt).
An excerpt of the video in original German is attached to ⬇️
berlin.social/@oliverknabe/115… 🙏
With the mail the Foreign Office [hereafter FO] gives several “important advices”:
• Israel makes it public to block the flotilla even with force; it’s risky.
• FO is in contact with Israeli Government and asked to comply with the International Law.
• Nevertheless it is recommended to leave the flotilla and hand over the aid goods to Israel.
• Over years FO has been warning against entering Gaza; any consular assistance in the strip is practically impossible.
• Please inform other German members of these advices…
… Are we supposed to laugh, or cry?

The image shows a bowl of rice. The bowl is round and made of wood, with a brown color and a smooth texture. The rice inside the bowl is a mix of white and brown grains, with some grains appearing slightly darker, possibly indicating different types of rice or grains mixed together. The rice is cooked and appears fluffy, with some grains sticking together, suggesting it has been cooked with enough water. The background is a plain, light blue color, which contrasts with the brown bowl and the rice, making the contents of the bowl stand out. The overall appearance is simple and homely, with the focus on the bowl of rice.

Long-term unemployment is rising. Here, what it’s like to be job-hunting in an increasingly bleak market.
The year is 2035. Sidetrack is 95% straight women and is unbelievably profitable. "Love IS love", one squeals with delight, before returning to her drink order, which has taken in excess of fifteen minutes, because her group keeps breaking into renditions of "Pink Pony Club". The bartender, exhausted, stares into the camera.
