Two ring-like galaxies. On the left is a galaxy with a bright core surrounded by a yellow ring. There is a gap between the core and ring where the black background of space shows through. The galaxy is tilted so that the circular ring appears oval-shaped. On the right is a another circular galaxy, made mostly of a ring of bright blue dots, which are star clusters. On the bottom left part of the ring is a haze of white stars and orangish dust. The center of the ring is empty and the black background of space shows through. This galaxy looks a little like the writing of the aliens from the movie Arrival.

Heartened by @hararereview.bsky.social 's description of Outcast: "Fascinating and expansive, you’ll likely never read anything more magisterial. If you read just one non-fiction/history book this year, make it this one". Taking this as my Nobel. hararereview.wordpress.com/2025/10/08/o...

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead

The children’s names below appear on a list of victims of Israel’s offensive in Gaza, maintained by health authorities in the territory. As of the end of July it ran to 60,199 names, of whom 18,457 were under 18s. Far from comprehensive, the list does not include the thousands still buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, as well as the war’s many indirect victims As of the end of July there were 18,457 children named on the long official list of Palestinian victims of Israel’s war in Gaza. Over almost two years, that is equivalent to bombs, bullets and shells killing a boy or girl every hour of every day. In reality the deaths are not spaced out so evenly. Siblings, cousins and playmates are often killed together, by an airstrike or artillery shell. Even children shot by snipers or quadcopters are sometimes brought into hospitals in groups, doctors say. Continue reading...

An extraordinary day spent with our new students, telling us who they are, who they want to be, and sharing their enthusiasms. Then I turn into the night, check the news, and it’s full of violence and those who would like to use it to bring about even more. Create spaces of care where you can.
