Today's cosmic climate indicates a shift towards introspective innovation and empathetic connections post-afternoon. As the day progresses, consider leveraging intuitive insights for creative problem-solving in collaborative environments.
We should have empathy for the 1,200 Israelis killed on October 7th. We should have empathy for the more than 17,000 Palestinians killed since then. And our actions should be informed by our empathy. But our actions should be determined by our analysis of power. The difference in death counts is just one data point, but it is a key one in determining who has power in that situation, who lacks power, and therefore who needs us to lend them ours. #Israel#Palestine#Gaza#Empathy#Power
"Kellogg's Froot Loops is catching heat from the anti-woke crowd for its latest move. … The brand is running a promotion on Canadian boxes that links kids to a free digital library … about diversity and inclusion.

Well-meaning white people who truly want to understand and be allies need to internalize this message, shared by #LilyGladstone, on the idea of #assimilation and what that word always means to those of us who aren't white in white-majority situations of every kind.
"This is actually a really oppressive concept for us. We have to put something of ourselves away in order to belong."
»we must reject desensitisation. We cannot allow ourselves to be anaesthetised to this level of anguish. We must always remember that those we see pulled from the rubble, those awaiting news of family members abducted or killed, are the same as us. We should approach their plight with the same sense of #urgency, #empathy and #compassion that we would if they were our own children, parents, friends or loved ones«
