The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

How I feel writing a first draft knowing that dealing with this mess is a future me problem. – at Scotland, United Kingdom
I don’t mean to complain (I do) but
I think it’s so rude when you submit to a publication that gives you a window of getting back to you, but then you never hear from them again. – at Edinburgh, Scotland
A personal and heartbreaking thread about the realities of being a trans teenager in the UK. Amanda is right - we must act before it is too late. Nobody should have to move country to be who they are 🏳️⚧️
