Underpinning today’s thoughts, with (hopeful) signposts, let’s embark…
I. Palestine
Dear attention economy,
hypnotized yet?
G E N O C I D E
captivated yet?
or are you stuck?
infinite scroll, casino slot,
countenance, socials’ loop,
validate, your network’s print,
they’re REALLY stuck,
dystopic bloody stained borders
‘People shot as they pleased, with all their might’
B. said that it was difficult to distinguish civilians from combatants in Gaza, claiming that members of Hamas often “walk around without their weapons.” But as a result, “every man between the ages of 16 and 50 is suspected of being a terrorist.”

collide mass data,
surveillance monger
The United Nations refugee agency improperly collected and shared personal information from ethnic Rohingya refugees with Bangladesh, which shared it with Myanmar to verify people for possible repatriation, Human Rights Watch said today. The agency did not conduct a full data impact assessment, as its policies require, and in some cases failed to obtain refugees’ informed consent to share their data with Myanmar, the country they had fled.
capitalize, our collection whole,
guinea pigs, extract us raw
Robodebt was a crude and cruel mechanism, neither fair nor legal, and it made many people feel like criminals. In essence, people were traumatised on the off-chance they might owe money. It was a costly failure of public administration, in both human and economic terms.

soon we’ll trend,
holistically,
free for once,
forever more
Palestine is changing the world. I so want food, aid, peace and justice for all Palestinians.
This was another outstanding 𝕎𝕒𝕒𝕥𝕝𝕖𝕞𝕠𝕖𝕟 presentation. Each of the seven videos was deeply disturbing and unsettling, except for the last one - although its context was tragic as well. Three of the videos provided deep and painful insights into the traumas being experienced by the Palestinian people being slaughtered in the Gaza strip, and another revealed a scandalous fraud that was perpetrated against Australian citizens that caused suicides and immense emotional turmoil. The final three featured a chilling and terrifying product manufactured by Boston Dynamics: the futuristic and intrusive robotic police "dogs," typically used against poor neighborhoods of color. The whole presentation was interspersed with the most creative, amazing, dynamic and resonant poetry by the remarkable NAJWAN ABDUL WAHAB. An incredible, informative post with diverse subject matter. Admirable!
