The Media Is Telling You That You Are Worthless

So, something came on my radar over the last few days, which made me lose even more hope for this year called 2026. How can things seem so bad only 23 days in?

As of the time of writing, all boats from the Somud Flotilla have been intercepted by Israel, their crews kidnapped and now in Israeli custody. I, like many people, fear for their safety.

What About The Other Injustices?

If you are an activist for trying to end the mass slaughter of the people in Gaza, a question you will sometimes be asked is, what about the other injustices in the world, surely it's not just Gaza where there is a mass slaughter happening?
