“Sit, drink your coffee here; your work can wait awhile.
You're twenty-six, and still have some life ahead.
No need for wit; just talk vacuities, and I'll
Reciprocate in kind, or laugh at you instead.
The world is too opaque, distressing and profound.
This twenty minutes' rendezvous will make my day:
To sit here in the sun, with grackles all around,
Staring with beady eyes, and you two feet away.”

Barcodes don’t tell you where a product was made - Full Fact
It’s true that barcodes beginning 729 originated in Israel, but this code has not changed to 871 to avoid boycotts.Full Fact
@syphilia Apparently 87- prefixes are the Netherlands.

(And three digit prefix is country business is registered in. So it’s great for boycotting Israeli businesses but it can’t be used to tell, if, say, a company registered in South Africa is selling Israeli dates.)

‘I am dying to go back home’
1/2
“I’ve long been desperate to go back home. I’m an old man, I cannot feel comfortable being outside my home.
“I am certain that my home has been flattened, yet I cannot endure being outside the area where I was raised.
“I am suffering. We are living in the open, in very fierce, cold weather.
“I’ve been displaced on a number of occasions, from Khan Younis to Gaza, and so far we are standing still."

“The corridor hasn’t been opened. I am dying to go back home where I was raised.
“I hope for the better. I am certain that we will be able to rebuild all the homes that have been destroyed. I dream of going back to our normal life, in peace, in harmony with our family and neighbours.
“We are peaceful people leading a normal way of life like all the peoples of the world.”
