This is still not really the place for UN stuff, but the US just used one of its rare vetos on a Brazil-drafted Security Council resolution on humanitarian assistance & a humanitarian pause in Gaza.

Get Involved

there's nothing I can say in a bluesky-length post that feels adequate right now so I'm sticking to amplifying better voices than mine & sharing resources.

Get involved with or donate to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, they are mobilizing medical care and resources.

Please just watch this all the way through…

Al Jazeera has confirmed the US is trying to delay a vote on a Security Council resolution which authorizes a "humanitarian pause" for aid to get into Gaza until President Biden can make his visit to Israel. European allies want it to happen today.

Nvm. 500 and counting.

APNewsAlert: GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza Health Ministry says death toll in Gaza City hospital blast rises to at least 500.

5 min after this email, I see reports that Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City was bombed. Killing 200-300 people.

A fucking hospital.

R&R!!!!

The reviewers were thoughtful; even the challenges were generative. One in particular was so kind.

Of course, this comes from a non-Poli Sci journal so… take notes, folks.

The Onion has not failed us.

‘The Onion’ Stands With Israel Because It Seems Like You Get In Less Trouble For That The past week has shown humanity at its worst: A horrific terrorist attack left at least 1,300 Israelis dead, among them peace activists and even innocent children. The fates of many more kidnapped ...

Let us be clear: This is a fraught moment, and one that has polarized not only Americans but people all over the world. It demands incredible sensitivity and strict adherence to journalistic standards of objectivity, and simply put, that is something we aren’t willing to do.

Woooof. Yes. Enabling the worst types of "resilience" narratives.

Also, with the "M" doorknob at the end - was it really for Mirabel or for Madrigal? Convenient that it works for both, for which the cynic in me asks if the family really acknowledges *her* importance as caretaker

Re-watched it last night when I couldn’t sleep, and YES.

Why would you gaslight her and fix the cracks when she was just doing you a solid??

omg.

I know intellectually how little our lives are worth to the "international community" but the past few days have been a very sickening reminder. I feel it in my body, how people think of me and other Palestinians.

An order to forcibly relocate >1m people in 24 hours, on one of the most densely packed places on earth. >1.5k already killed, >338k already displaced. No food, water, electricity, fuel, medical supplies coming in. All exits sealed.

The Onion examines the pros and cons of keeping senile politicians in office.

Do I love the fact that I have an accountability buddy in @devoncantwell.bsky.social? Yes, yes, I do.

Do I also hate the fact that Devon dares to actually *hold me accountable*? Yes, yes, I do.

Me too, please! Thank you!!

I'm writing an Oxford Handbook chapter, and the editors explicitly told me that they *want* a descriptive chapter that is NOT like an "argumentative article."

I am SO enjoying writing this chapter. Descriptive research is really fun!! 😍

amirite @carolyneholmes.bsky.social et. al.??? 🤓

I ordered my four free Covid tests. Have you?

Late-stage capitalism.
