Netanyahu's war in Gaza "now has no military logic." Israel's inadequate aid to civilians in land effectively "under occupation is a war crime." The far-right plan "to corral Gazans into a permanent 'humanitarian city' would amount to ethnic cleansing." economist.com/leaders/2025/0…
The Israeli refrain that Hamas is causing the famine only rings true if you believe it's worth starving tens of thousands of innocent people to achieve a military aim. If you know children are starving and you don't let aid through: you're starving them!
Gaza starvation so severe people are ‘walking corpses’, UN says channel4.com/news/gaza-star…
One week until Trauma Industrial Complex: The Live Show opens at @StandComedyClub in Edinburgh. A one hour deep dive that aims to say something new about trauma and the public airing of adversity now so commonplace in culture. We're close to 50% of seats gone. Don't delay!
You can't be serious. Why does Glasgow always have to pull shit like this during the Fringe.
See all these authors, based in Scotland & dealing in some way or another with trauma in their work? There are more on my shelves! I have a budding idea... @lokiscottishrap @craig_carol @LynburnNurture @anam_alba @witchesofscotl1 @RuthBoreham @lathan_miss
This is terrific news. @lokiscottishrap thoughts on modern trauma discourse are valuable to us all.

Orwell Prize-winning author Darren McGarvey, AKA hip-hop artist Loki @lokiscottishrap, offers a revealing, deeply personal exploration of the dangerous stories we tell ourselves about trauma. 10-15 Oct | Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London Tickets: howtoacademy.com/events/darren-…
We’re told that sharing is healing. That speaking your truth is a kind of liberation. That silence is shame, and voice is power. And maybe it is. But what if your voice unlocks someone else’s shame? What if your healing story drags someone else, unwillingly, into the spotlight?…
That depends on how and where we share. Public exhibitionism can reopen old wounds. penguin.co.uk/books/439534/t…
Sharing our mental health journey can be one of the most empowering and de-stigmatising things we can do, for ourselves and for others.

Really looking forward to Darren's latest, think the extracts and related writings he's been posting are a breath of fresh air in this whole discussion
