S: Does Ambessa have a moral code?🤨
Me: I wrote the code 😁

S: is she sympathetic in the book? 🤨🤨🤨
Me: I find her very sympathetic. 😌
S: that’s not reassuring whatsoever. 😑
Anyway, make your own judgements.

“The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice.”
Malcolm X.
Palestinian activist Hamada Shaquora has been nominated as one of TIME's 100 most influential personalities worldwide in 2024.
Known as a wartime food blogger, Shaquora creatively crafts recipes from the limited ingredients available through aid packages in Gaza. His videos, where he cooks and distributes meals, have garnered hundreds of thousands of followers, providing a powerful glimpse into life and resilience under relentless Israeli bombardment.

If a 21yo rents a single room in London at today's rate, they will have put more than £100,000 into their landlords bank account by the time they reach their 30th birthday.
This is why young people don't have mortgage deposits or pension plans. We are other peoples'.
