For six weeks we’ve been delivering life-saving supplies to families & we still have medicine, tents and hygiene kits to go. We need Israeli authorities to allow unimpeded access. "We cannot take all hope away again from children in Gaza. They deserve more," Ahmad Alhendawi @AhmadAlhendawi

“There was a major prison breakout (in Goma) of 4,000 escaped prisoners. A few hundred women were also in that prison. They were all raped and then they set fire to the women’s wing. They (the women) all died afterwards.” 💔

Oh to have seen them: Marianne Faithful’s Irina, Glenda Jackson’s Masha and Avril Elgar’s Olga in Chekhov’s Three Sisters @royalcourt April 1967.
And now all three are gone.
Marianne Faithful RIP.
Looking forward to this having worked on it with @FionaSkillen and grazie to the IIC for the mention in such illustrious company.

For the last decade I’ve been researching & promoting the women who played for the Manchester Corinthians but their stories still need spreading. Watch this wonderful video of interviews with some of them to get a feel for how important these women are: youtube.com/watch?app=deskto…

Hi!
Holocaust historian here. Let me see if I can help. That wasn't a "weird salute." It was a Hitler salute. Because Elon is a fucking Nazi.
Hope that helps!
