Drop whatever you are doing and watch Oriented (2015) on Netflix. Possibly the most un-pinkwashed piece about queer Palestinian youth I have ever seen.

This was published yesterday, which is the same day Israel had struck a school, a mosque, a marketplace, multiple residential areas, some within refugee camps, killing over 60 Palestinians. This was posted one day after Israel had assassinated 3 sons of Hamas leader Hanyeh and killed four of their children in the same attack.
So by "low intensity" do they mean ~100 Palestinians killed a day? How do I tell you that even 1 Palestinian killed is one too many and that, if this so called low intensity scale of killing continues for just 10 days, we will have ~1000 Palestinians killed by the end of it?
It's sickening to see how the continuous killing and genocide has been normalised with language that is so dehumanising. Not only are people not shying away from stating that they do not view Palestinian lives to be as equal as other lives, they're also publishing articles about it.

UNRWA, ANERA and WCK have all been forced to pause or halt their humanitarian operations in Gaza because Israel has deliberately targeted any means of lifesaving aid to a starved, maimed, and tortured population of over 2 million Palestinians, almost half of which are children.
This has been broadcasted by Israel so that it sets the precedent of what is deemed permissible in the face of "international law". I said it before, it does not get any more obviously genocidal than this.

Its called a SkoBot, I'm losing it
A personalized, wearable, and interactive Indigenous language revitalization robot that senses motion and speaks our languages. The students build the robots themselves. Built to take tech learning out of the classroom, the robots were made to supplement community language learning for free. It has been a success in enabling our youth to bring the robots home to learn with their families and in creating learning tools they resonate with.
“An antiracist future is a decolonized future, and this means addressing our power dynamics, we talked about representation, that’s awesome, but it’s very hard to gain footing when it’s representation in someone else's system and they have power there. We need to lead our own solutions for our own communities, and this looks like different things for all of us.” -Danielle Boyer for the MIT Solve Antiracist and Indigenous Futures Summit
