one thing that I think about often is how many people become journalists to help highlight the voices of marginalized people, only to be forced into the kind of silence that maintains systems of oppression - all in the name of supposed neutrality

ends up being our client, goes through central booking, waits for over 24 hours to see a judge, and then the case is dismissed. it’s a stupid waste of all our time.

about a thousand times more important than anything having do with Harvard is keeping places like Internet Archive alive, a corner of the internet that holds out at a glimmer of that old internet utopianism - providing astounding resources to specialists and lay people alike.

'Media coverage of the shortage has focused primarily on the harms to people with ADHD. But for those with sleep disorders...the effects may be even more consequential. Basic tasks — like driving — become dangerous or impossible without medication.' kffhealthnews.org/news/article/n…

Getting Palestinian or Palestinian related content seen on social media has become incredibly difficult across all platforms. I already wrote about what effect this has, but it's getting worse, with little hope to fix it.

UN humanitarian Aid Chief made a 14 point list of the obstacles that have kept aid trucks from getting into Gaza . Who do we think is responsible for these obstacles - ranging from comms blockout to bombings to aid workers being killed to damaged roads?

My grandpa called me from the West Bank just now (it’s almost 1am there) to tell me he’s watching a video of a Dearborn rally for Palestine. He’s the stereotypical elder who can barely use his phone but he found a way to call just to tell me that he’s proud & happy people care.

Journalists in Gaza told me and Afnan AbuYahia for The Nation that they feel the only thing keeping them alive and hopeful is their reporting. But the comms blackouts, suspected targeting of journalists, and shadow banning on socials stop them.

This quote stuck with me.
