UK foreign sec Cleverly has told the #BBC that #Hamas "has habitually brutalised #Palestinian people... Hamas published videos of water pipes funded by the EU being torn up and turned into missiles". (thought to refer to an al-Qassam Brigades vid - where they appear to be digging water pipes out of the desert and turning them into missiles. The BBC has not verified it).
He claimed Hamas is using "fuel which could be used for the desalination plants to send rockets into Israel".

Now is not the right time for a ceasefire between #Israel and #Hamas , top White House and US State Dept officials have said.

"We don't believe that this is the time for a ceasefire," National Sec Council spox Kirby told reporters. "Israel has a right to defend themselves. They still have work to do to go after Hamas leadership."

State Dept spox Miller said: “What we will continue to do, with respect to this question, is focus on getting #humanitarian assistance in to #Gaza .”

I told my employee and family and do not keep it hidden if it comes up or I need to mention it. But of late I realised that wasn't enough and have decided to be even more open about it. To be honest this step does not come without fear and no small amount of trepidation. But for me I think that this is the trauma speaking. All the times I showed too much and was attacked for the privilege. But that was when I had no answer for my difference or sense that there were others out there like me, a community that perhaps need those of us as privileged as I am to step up and be seen. Not as role models, but simply as examples that there is more to being autistic than the stereotypes would have people believe.

How did we get to a state where "stop killing one another" is a flameworthy political position?

Hey

* Do people over 40 keep telling you you should use IRC and IRC is better than Discord and Slack?
* Did you try IRC and it wasn't better at all?
* Do you need to use an IRC channel but IRC is a pain?
* Use irccloud.com
* It's free, it has a website interface that's like Discord, it has a phone app, it even lets you paste images into IRC
* Downside: If you connect only from phone, they DC you after a bit unless you're on the paid plan. Get around this by leaving a web tab open on a desktop

"Those kids in #Gaza, infants included, are among the more than two million people enduring a siege and #CollectivePunishment.

Israel has suffered a horrifying terrorist attack and deserves the world’s sympathy and support, but it should not get a blank check to slaughter civilians or to deprive them of food, water and medicine."

Hamas says it released two Israeli hostages, citing humanitarian reasons.

The International Committee of the Red Cross confirmed to reporters that its staff assisted in the freed hostages' transfer out of Gaza. https://t.co/hyFIwD06YB

This video about the situation in #Gaza is 9 years old. This was the situation 9 years ago and it didn't stop until now. A little context for all those who think the conflict started October 7.

Isn’t it amazing that you get a lot of #accessibility correctly if you just stick with plain #HTML and builtin #browser features?

You've probably heard from transphobes about how "you can't change your DNA," so nothing you do in transition really matters. "Basic biology," they whinge. Well... what about intermediate biology?

This week on #StainedGlassWoman, come and see How HRT Rewrites Your DNA by just plain turning off the parts you don't need and turning on the ones you do! Now with more wedding photos, from *another* queer wedding.

The enshittification of the Internet coincides with the economic shift to mandatory infinite growth so shareholders and CEOs can receive ever more absurd payouts at the expense of sustainable business. This led to increasing commoditization of our time, our data, and our attention. We're not the customers, we're the product.

Which also coincides with the democratic breakdown of treating voters not as decision makers but as a captive audience for whatever the political-moneyed class wants to do.
