    Gonna CW this because it’s just generally distressing

    spoiler

    I remember on the day Aaron Bushnell self-immolated, some Twitter page added his name to a list of martyrs that included, for that day, a 60 day old baby named Muhammad al-Zayegh who died of starvation. 60 days old. He was born into and died during a genocide.

    Babies are starving all over the world, I know (Yemen immediately comes to mind), but the context of this one baby in particular just got to me. Just this poor thing that was born to suffer for no reason and die two months later from something entirely preventable. The utter devilry of these fascist animals who continue to perpetrate this slaughter and celebrate it and victimize themselves is nauseating.
