This book is genuinely restorative, I think! newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

People seem to forget how much of the work of prior genocides was accomplished by illness, rather than directly by weapons, and so to neglect the large and continuing role of the Israeli destruction of Palestinian health in the Gaza genocide

people need to move on from wether or not these people did anything wrong this just isn’t how humans are supposed to be treated full stop

When we say media illiteracy, we need to specify that the "literacy" we are losing includes the ability to:
1. recognize mediation
2. discern irony (tone, framing)
3. separate effect from "intention"
All of these have to do with being able to read FORM.

If Katy Waldman reviews a novel, I will be there. One of the last great book critics out here. Study her. Thank me later. Oh yes, you can also study Adam Kirsch.
Across her nine novels, Helen Oyeyemi has shown a fascination with proliferation, complexity, indeterminacy, and paradox. Katy Waldman reviews Oyeyemi’s new novel, “A New New Me.” nyer.cm/ijpHJ1f

This is a CT scan of my father-in-law’s head. It shows two pieces of shrapnel inside his brain and an intracranial bleeding.
The doctors in Shifa Hospital are unable to operate on him. He is still breathing but remains unconscious.
Uncle Jaleel (this is what I call him) went near the Zikim crossing, where people have been going to get aid. An israeli missile struck him and others.
His case is described as hopeless.
If he dies, his blood is on Israel’s and the US’s hands.
Uncle Jaleel is 55 years old.
He was a strawberry farmer.

Thanks to @mikerosenwald @nytimes for giving my girl the send-off she deserves. I will always be proud that I got to be her biographer.

“One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.”
This extraordinary, essential book hits US shelves today.

"We have lost everything in this hospital. Even our children. Everything we've built, they have burned. They killed my son. They burned the hospital entirely. I buried my son by the hospital wall."
Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza
Our children killed before our eyes and we bury them with our own hands.
They killed my son.
Because we are delivering a humanitarian message, our children are being killed.
I buried my son by the hospital wall.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyah, Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital
اولادنا بينقتلوا امامنا وندفنهم بايدينا.
