August 1, 2026 - Every morning in Gaza, the search for water begins.
Video journalist Bisan Owda follows children carrying heavy water containers, families waiting for water trucks, and the people working to keep one of the few desalination plants still running.
Along the way, Bisan reveals what has been destroyed, why clean water has become so hard to find, and what it now takes to provide water for millions of people in Gaza. [video]
You can donate to help people in Gaza get access to clean water! If you have any money to spare at all, please donate to this Bisan-recommended org, Ele Elna Elak: https://eleelnaelak.org/ Or to the Gaza municipality directly, so they can pay fheir local engineers, rebuild infrastructure that was destroyed by Israel, and keep the desalination plants running: https://gaza-city.ensany.com/campaign/6737?lang=en
such an awesome scene.... like a btvs amends... i know all the awful things i did because i did them to youuuu doesnt that piss you off.... and she rises to the bait! she channels her anger at him for everything into this one thing, because she cant bear to admit the weakness of being his victim. so she puts it on her fathers murder, who she definitely doesnt care about this much except as a way to make it irrevocable with vane. finally a crime that everyone can see, and witness, and understand my rage over. she calls it "the lowest, weakest, cruelest deed imagineable" and calls her father an innocent man. WOW IN WHAT WORLD. but its how she can process it! she cant possibly be talking about herself at thirteen, or her business, or her relationship with max, any of the real personal deep ways that he has hurt her. because to admit those is to give him power over her. and she finally has power over him, "real" power, secure power (sure, right, eleanor, because no woman has ever lost rights to the power secured via romantic manipulation), and shes gonna kill him about it. rather than admit that the ways he hurt her are nothing any government in the world would give a shit about. so fucking awesomeeeeeeee i love it all
if you could somehow procure a list of every person in the world who's ever had a crush on you would you do it
yes
no
the discourse about whichever dog they choose to play anya the dog is going to be so funny until people start fighting about it for real

i think every publisher should have to institute a ban on books that fail what i’m calling the “little life” and “what else?” tests
for reference.
"When I taught creative writing at Princeton, [my students] had been told all of their lives to write what they knew. I always began the course by saying, “Don’t pay any attention to that.” First, because you don’t know anything and second, because I don’t want to hear about your true love and your mama and your papa and your friends. Think of somebody you don’t know. What about a Mexican waitress in the Rio Grande who can barely speak English? Or what about a Grande Madame in Paris? Things way outside their camp. Imagine it, create it. Don’t record and editorialize on some event that you’ve already lived through. I was always amazed at how effective that was. They were always out of the box when they were given license to imagine something wholly outside their existence. I thought it was a good training for them. Even if they ended up just writing an autobiography, at least they could relate to themselves as strangers."
-Toni Morrison in an 2014 interview with NEA Arts Magazine
warning for quoted text about the holocaust. this is from julia ioffe's motherland: a feminist history of modern russia. she is describing the 1941 organized murder of jews as the german army invaded Ukraine and western russia. nazis rounded up jewish people in a town and shot them directly into mass graves nearby. this "eastern holocaust" took place after jewish populations in western europe were already being segregated and killed, but before the establishment of the full death camps.
Many, especially those men who were not from the SS, cracked psychologically. Some tried to get out of the killings and begged for transfers. Even Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, who frequently toured the killing fields and wrote to his wife about them with gusto, couldn't stop vomiting during one visit. This is why the Nazis switched to death camps. "A method different from the firing squad operations used against Russian Jewry was deemed essential for the murder of European Jews," wrote historian Christopher Browning, "one that was more efficient, less public, and less psychologically burdensome for the killers."
this connection, of the death camps to the psychological toll it took on the nazi soldiers, is one ive seen before, but this passage really struck me. im thinking about the current mass recruitments into ICE, and what is going to happen when this same disillusionment and horror overcomes those recruits. the path of fascism, which privileges the mental health concerns of murderers (and the way this is going to be couched in social media friendly branding!!), is so terrifying.
