Uhh has this been a Dip Dab this whole time? Not a Dib Dab? Is this another thing I need to add to the long list of names I’ve been saying wrong forever?

After a lovely weekend chatting books, back to reality. Dealing with the fallout of an accidental flooding from our upstairs neighbour and what seems to be the fall of civilisation as I knew it.

I didn’t expect to spend so much of my time trying to work out what is even real in the 2020s.

Peter Pan: The Graphic Novel, the 10th Anniversary Special Edition, is now LIVE on Kickstarter! From Stref (Stephen White), myself and @ComicScenePlus Faithful to the original, an all-ages book that was a real labour of love for us Check it out here: kickstarter.com/projects/comic…

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message : “If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side. By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people. I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.” — For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

The very idea of cutting PIP and “cracking down” on people who’re actually often either already bloody working or are very keen to work and can’t, because there are so few accessible opportunities, makes me sick
