Look, if you:

...understand that the violence of the Occupation and illegal settlements don't justify killing Israeli civilians, but think that Hamas' violence justifies killing Palestinian children,

...don't extend the same consideration to dead Palestinian civilians that we should to the 1,400 Israeli and other Oct 7 victims,

...are fine with condemning Hamas, but think criticizing Netanyahu is an attack on every single Jewish person on earth,

...think criticizing the Netanyahu regime is the same thing as supporting the ethnic cleansing of Jewish people,

...recognize the horror of Hamas's violence, but are blind to the violence of the Gaza blockade, and the theft of land and people from the West Bank

Then legitimately just save me and you some time and energy, and just block me right now.

One important thing I've learned about Republicans - they're actually 100% fine with sexual abuse of children, as long as it's done by someone who also promises to 'own the libs.'

Academic mastodon! Especially people with specialities/focuses in environmental politics, environmental justice, and/or environmental governance - I am the book review editor of Global Environmental Politics, one of the leading journals on the global environment. I am looking for reviewers for several very exciting looking publications on (among others) ecocriticism and environmental narratives/storytelling, plastic pollution, and environmental securitization.

If you are a potential reviewer, or interested in becoming one, please contact me. I am particularly interested in promoting the voices of women and/or BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ and other marginalized voices, but of course, am not restricted to that.

British people, I cannot explain adequately what absolute hell the American healthcare system is. You know how people say: "at least in the US, you can get fast treatment. At least in the US, you can choose your doctor. At least in the US, you can get the most innovative treatment"?

Lies. All of it.

The US healthcare system excels at one thing only, and that's bankrupting people.
