"What's happening to Gaza?"
On October 7, Hamas militants conducted an attack on Israel resulting in the death of ~1300 Israelis, including women and children and other civilians. The militants broke out of Gaza at the Erez crossing (north Gaza Strip).
In response, the Israeli government has authorized and carried out an extensive campaign of airstrikes against Gaza using the justification that Hamas militants purposely use Palestinian civilians as human shields. The Israeli government contends that Hamas chooses headquarters locations in residential buildings as a way to discourage the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) from targeting them. Israel also contends that Hamas militants have an extensive tunnel system under Gaza in the north, which protects the militants from perishing in airstrikes.
While Hamas' political wing was elected to power in the election held in 2007, there has not been another vote since. Fully half of the 2.2 million people in Gaza are children. Israeli forces left Gaza in 2005 but has blockaded it since then. Israel has full control over everything and everyone that enters and leaves the Strip.
Currently, the Erez crossing is inoperable. The only other crossing is Rafah, in the south, sharing a border with Egypt's Sinai peninsula. This border is closed. It has been open 3 times since October 7: once to let in 30 trucks of humanitarian aid, once to let in 17 trucks, and once on 1 November to allow three critically injured patients and 400 Palestinians with foreign passports to evacuate. The Rafah crossing has been bombed by IDF multiple times since October 7.
The Israeli government has cut off communication with Gaza twice since October 7. It could do so again at any time.
From UNRWA (United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees):
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, 8,525 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since 7 October. That is 3,542 children and 2,197 women. A further 21,543 have been injured.
Many in the West do not know any Palestinians at all, let alone a Gazan. They can feel sad when they see bombed out buildings and men digging through rubble with their bare hands, but not knowing a person there allows them to easily move on to the next thing.
I cannot do that.
On my personal account, @yessoupy, I have posted often about my Palestinian students from Gaza. What is happening in Gaza is not an abstraction for me. I have anywhere from 15 (confirmed) to 30 former students currently in Gaza.
What can you do to learn more?
Instagram is widely used in Gaza and is the best place to follow Gazan journalists reporting on their homeland.

You can add to your list by following these four and following who they tag. By following these accounts, you're able to see what is happening. Please, if you do not know a single Palestinian, please learn. All of these journalists post most of their work in English.
If you have questions that you're afraid to ask because you're worried about whether your wording is offensive or you're worried that you'll look stupid, please send me a DM or an ask off anon (I will not publish publicly unless you EXPLICITLY tell me that you DO want it published). No question is stupid, and I will gently (and without judgment) correct any wording as necessary. In my real life I am a teacher, and having taught world history in the past I know that at least in America students don't learn very much at all about Palestine. I am happy to teach you.

sometimes people try to tell me that scientists are paragons of rationality and I have to break it to them that I have yet to work in a lab that didn’t have at least one weird secret shrine in it
new guy: why is all of the equipment in this room covered in toys?
me: dONn’t touch those
new guy:
me: they need the toys to function. if they don’t all have toys they get jealous.
new guy:
new guy:
me: when something breaks just take the wizard and wave it around for a while. they seem to like that.
Science is rational, scientists are human.
In Taiwan we have a special brand of snacks named 乖乖 (literally means “well behaved” but in a casual way like when one’s compliment a child or a pet of being good) that has green package.
It has become the lucky charm in the IT industry because engineers believe it will make machine acting good (like the name of the snack) and stay in green light (like the color of the snack’s package) when a 乖乖 is put on top of a server.
It is the only food allowed in a server room and the biggest semicondoctor company in Taiwan (which is also the biggest worldwide) even commissioned the snack factory to make a customized version with blessing on the package.
This is how a server room is blessed by 乖乖. You put at least one on top of each server. It’s important that the engineers change them before the expire date because legend says the snack looses it’s power after expire date.
You’ll hear engineers swearing up and down that their server room crushed down the one time they forgot to change the snack. Or some newbie ate the forbidden snack put on top of their server and caused a disastrous crush down.
The 乖乖 religion later spread to all people who want their machine to act nice. In the lab we put 乖乖 on ultra-low freezer (you really don’t want it to drop dead along with your 2 years’ worth of sample/data), mass spectrometer etc.
When Taiwan’s about to launch the first self made satellite in 2017, the develop team even put 乖乖 around the satellite model to prey for a successful launch (it did). This shit is real.

"IF they were the last shows, you have filled me up in a way that I will never be able to thank you for, thank you so so much, the last two years of this tour have been the most incredible experience of my life, and you have made me feel unbelievable, thank you so so much. Whatever you are doing out there tonight, whatever you have been doing out there the last few nights, it is so much bigger than us on this stage, its so much bigger than me, what you are creating, our audience, I feel so honored to get to watch it every night. Thank you so much for bringing [...] thank you for bringing this atmosphere [...] I wish you could all come up here and feel this, it's really really special, thank you so so much, from the bottom of my heart, thank you." - Harry thanking the crowd at the final Wembley show of Love on Tour via weatherry
