"Let in the despair. The grief. The rage. The pain." It is so good to hear those words from someone. What I get too much of the time is "turn off the news, don't read about it, forget it, think about positive things." I have sometimes wondered how you manage to write about this stuff every day, but I am grateful that you can do it. Thank you.

Yes, it's absurd the amount of people who tell me I should just 'look after my own mental health ' by not thinking about Gaza. As if it were possible.
