A single Israeli air strike has killed over fifty people, mainly (of course) little kids [link]. The news over the last few weeks has been so upsetting, so frustrating, so exasparating that I’ve found myself mainly tuning it out. I don’t want to add to the mind numbing white noise of coverage myself, [...]
