**Have you ever been bombed en route to #market?**

Gaza has. Prolly #today.

**Did your kids miss the bus and have to walk to school?**

Gaza kids have no #limbs, and no #schools.

**Did you pick up your #prescriptions?**

Gaza has no #medicine, and their #doctors lay torn open and bleeding in the gutted #streets.

**Did you remember to hydrate?**

Gaza has no clean #water and #drinks from puddles to #survive.

**Did you #eat today?**

#GAZA HASN'T.

I spent some time in prison. In addition to many letters, it was books that enabled me to survive. Books open up new spaces for us, allow us to look into previously unknown worlds. Books allow us to enter these worlds, broaden our horizons and meet people both living and dead. Whether novels, non-fiction and specialist literature, poetry and much more. Life, my life, would be poorer if there were no books.

I NEVER thought I would do something like this, trying to make a presence #online and go after the day dreams I have of #creativity and showing it to the world.

It isn't about the money.

I just want to share my #story and others.

Protect my friends and the #homeless which I was.

That's the only goal.

I need to #survive and struggle. I am #disabled and #work is hard.

Decided I needed a realistic todo list for this week.

Using the computer for 1hr means I need a 3hr nap to recover. Screens and moving seem to be the worst.

I can read my ereader and paper books, and I would like to pledge undying fealty to the folk who made epub export of fanfic work and the people who write it. By which I mean I'm adding AO3 to my regular monthly donations. (Surprisingly, I hadn't already done so.)

Column: #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump seems to think he’s #losing. Would the #RepublicanParty #survive his #defeat?

With Trump's influence at the core of the party, could the Republican Party endure a defeat that unseats its controversial figurehead? Or would the cracks deepen, leaving it fractured and weakened?

Our #freedoms are being removed in sneaky ways. We all know of the big issues such as #NHS #dentists being too few, #medications people need to #survive being unavailable & #heating costs but there's smaller issues. Some of the most normal, everyday things have turned into #nightmares such as #parking, #parcel #deliveries, & battles with #private organisations with the# power to send #debtcollectors for absurd reasons.

When plant parts #survive thousands of years. Dead plant parts filled with #lignin fulfill a variety of tasks as #wood in living #trees, but they also allow wood to survive for an impressively #longtime under suitable conditions.

Here, for example, wooden #coffins from #ancient #Egypt:
1) Coffin of a child, 22/23. Dynasty, 9th century BC.
2) Lid of the inner coffin of the priest Nespamai, 27th Dynasty, 500 BC.

Per #CoreyRobin: Thomas ‘sees something of value in the social worlds of slavery and Jim Crow,’ not because he endorses bondage ‘but because he believes that under those regimes African Americans developed #virtues of #independence and habits of #responsibility, practices of self-control and #institutions of #patriarchal self-help, that enabled them to #survive and sometimes #flourish.’

I’m understanding how #ClarenceThomas developed his renegade streak.
