Updated intro - I’m a NY based fashion designer but I post less about fashion and more about about climate/environmental issues, covid/disability rights, all things SWANA, & animal rights these days. Went from NYC to rural NY where I grow veggies and dahlias & live with rescue cats & poms

My throwback sized rescue poms Merlin (black) and Hazel (tan) lounging on a grey couch with white pillows with colorful Persian Heriz rug.

Car selfie of me, Layla - human with big dark eyes and with long brown hair. I am wearing all black as NYers often do, with glasses and tweed baseball hat

Picking chamomile from my garden to dry for tea, there is a two tone basket partially full of picked flowers and a bushy plant full of white chamomile blooms

Yes so many of this can be felt in how the region has stayed passive on some causes but activated in lockstep on others. The leak just proves that behavior we observed was indeed what we all suspected.

How does one go from being an esteemed medical ethicist and scholar of the Holocaust to being a vocal enabler and defender of genocide? How is such a person allowed by their field to channel their professional capital into justifying mass murder? Why is the field of “medical ethics” still silent?

Beyond that the US has used classic divide and conquer, & massaged the Sunni vs Shia rift. I was not personally raised with any awareness of that rift until I was older and had social media where I could see comments and had to figure out wtf that was myself. Obviously Israel also plays a huge role

Iran was the former golden child of US - look into the hostage crisis & there was basically a CIA head of operation in Iran that they trusted so much they minted money for agents there. The revolution changed that and since it’s become the girl they can’t have. the gulf states benefit from the rift

Honestly I don’t purport to understand as an Iranian born and raised in the states. My understanding is at the very least all of these gulf Arab states benefit from Iranian oil not being on the market, it would lower costs globally by driving up supply and competition.

The Nasser is very sick with a thyroid complaint and needs levothyroxine. He is declining so badly his skin has taken on a waxy yellowish hue and his eyes are defocused, pointing in different directions.

Yesterday was my birthday, but there was no joy, only ruins and hunger.
Another year older, carrying fear and my children’s pain ,no cake, no safety, no peace.
My only wish was for them to sleep without fear, to see a day without war, without tears, without hunger.💔🙏🏼

Gaza sources

The journalist Saleh Al-Jaafrawi was kidnapped by unknown persons, and eyewitnesses report gunfire directed at him.

A young man stands amid the ruins of bombed-out buildings, smiling faintly and raising a peace sign with his right hand. He wears a black T-shirt, grey trousers, and a crossbody bag. The background shows collapsed concrete structures and scattered debris, reflecting the heavy destruction around him.

So upset my feed on insta was full of posts about saleh, came to other sites to check it was real. He was celebrating just yesterday 💔😭

Layla L’obatti 🧿🪬لیلا لعبتی @lingerielayla.bsky.social · 18h

May he rest in peace 💔 he truly deserved so much more than this, may he receive it and be reunited with others in heaven. They had it out for him since the beginning and it felt a miracle to see him celebrate.

Hundreds of aid trucks carrying food, medicine, and fuel await entry into Gaza at the Rafah crossing with Egypt under the ceasefire.

People gave a record amount of money to multiple organizations for the people of Gaza and all this money just sat there for the past 2 years because Israel blocked it. I hope this money gets distributed quickly now so that the people of Gaza don't have to beg anymore

I can personally vouch for Raghad she lives in the same camp as I do.
Please, help her and her sick mother. Her mother’s condition is severe; she suffers from partial paralysis and can barely move inside the tents..

Rn.raghad @nurseraghad.bsky.social · 1d

My family and I are living in tents now, and my mother is sick. You know that a sick person cannot tolerate living in a tent they need a clean environment. Unfortunately, we are not in a clean place. You know how hard life in tents is sleeping on sand, having insects inside.🥺💔

I've realized that a whole lot of smart and well-informed people are overestimating the value and potential of "AI" tools because they underestimate how smart and well-informed they themselves are and how much expertise they bring to the interaction.

It's the curse of knowledge all the way down.
