I keep discovering that deflationary philosophy attracts mystics like moths to a freshly cleared void, so I wrote about it.

It's odd, because the entire point is to remove the furniture, not consecrate the space.

People in #Gaza dig through garbage for things to burn to keep warm — a far cry from #Trump's “vision”

Desperate #Palestinians at a garbage dump in a Gaza neighborhood dug with their bare hands for plastic items to burn to fend off the cold & damp winter in the enclave, battered by 2 years of the #Israel - #Hamas #war.

Families dig through garbage in Gaza for things to burn to keep warm

Desperate Palestinians at a garbage dump in a Gaza neighborhood are digging with their bare hands for plastic items to burn to keep warm in the cold and damp winter in the enclave, battered by two years of the Israel-Hamas war. The scene in the Muwasi area of the city of Khan Younis contrasted starkly with the vision of the territory projected by world leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, where they inaugurated U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace that will oversee Gaza on Thursday. Trump claimed in Davos this week that “record levels” of humanitarian aid had entered Gaza since the October start of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal. His envoys touted the enclave's development potential.

As bodies are seen again & again in their ordinary #reality, comparison loses energy. There are too many variations, too much honesty, too little drama. No single form stands as a standard. The #mind gradually realises that ranking bodies makes no sense when difference is everywhere & constant. (2/3)
