No Hamas propaganda will ever make Hamas look more badass than Israel's footage of Sinwar throwing a stick at an IDF drone with one fucking arm right before he died. I can't believe they released that video. They may as well have put a red triangle pointing at the drone camera.

Work, home, and self sustaining care all feel overwhelming. I walk the dog or do the dishes or play with my kid and find all of it to be nearly unbearable.

I share this just in case you feel like something isn’t right and you’re googling signs of depression and none of the internet symptoms fit you. That has happened to me more times than I can count. Trust your gut. You know yourself best. And you deserve to feel better. ❤️

For context, the U.S. Government just air dropped 38,000 meals. Weekend, one person, a person who has not contributed to Palestinian people dying accounted for 4,000,000 meals, and the United States, which provides bombs that have destroyed Palestinian land and life…38,000.
