Historian @willdalrymple.bsky.social speaking next to the colonial office where Palestine used to be run, saying this country has a historic responsibility to fix the harm it caused and work to establish a Palestinian state

Palestinians holding symbolic keys to commemorate the Nakbah and mark the 3/4 million Palestinians made refugees in 1948 and denied their right to return to this day.

Israel has launched yet another offensive against Gaza - with the death toll already over 53,000 people and no aid entering for the last 2 months.
Surely surely surely enough is enough. We are so far beyond any reasonable self-defensive right now, this is plausibly genocidal.

How depressing is that the new chants in rotation now are:

“Stop bombing hospitals”

And

“Stop killing children”

Just a basic plea

At the #Palestine demo in London today.

I’ve been going to demos like this for over a decade and I used to find them uplifting.

There’s a chant we used to do:
Gaza Gaza don’t you cry
We will never let you die

Just thinking of that now makes me cry. Because despite years it’s still happening

In the conversations critiquing how much is spent on humanitarian aid…

remember we all spend more on Netflix than humanitarian aid

It’s a real “looking sad, throwing batarang in the vicinity of the UN” time in global health right now

I didn't read much EA forum last year but I do like being "beloved" given that is what Habiba actually means!

The only two movies I’ve seen in the cinema in the last two years are Wicked and Barbie.

It’s funny when you read about how a marketing person has really got your number.

And the mark of how far they’ve got me is I’m not even mad? 🙃

Many years ago I used to work with a lot of Scottish local councils.

In the last year I’ve started watching NFL.

I knew the Pittsburgh Steelers’ logo reminded me of something

Happy 15th Birthday to @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social!

I took a pledge back in 2011 at University and it's one of the things I'm proudest of.

Since then I've moved jobs, cities and even changed my name. I've kept effective giving a part of my life and now I'm even on GWWC's UK board!
