Ultra-processed foods are bad for more than your waistline: New research shows they seem to raise the risk of stroke and dementia-related memory or thinking problems.

Regardless of what the final international criminal court decision will be, Israel has entered a new era regarding its relations with its western allies, including the United States. The actions it takes against the Palestinians will no longer go unaccounted for.
This situation was accelerated by the war with Hamas. But the reality is that the international reckoning would have come regardless. That’s because a 57-year occupation of the Palestinian people without a just resolution, coupled with a fascistic, racist government led by the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu – and reinforced by the far-right settler leaders Bezalel Smotrich, the finance minister, and the homeland security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir – cannot play without consequences in polite global company.
It’s remarkable that on the same day as the ICC announcement of a request for arrest warrants for Netanyahu and the defense minister, Yoav Gallant, the Netanyahu government made a move, yet again, to undermine Israeli democracy. The ink on the ICC statement was not even dry before the Israeli communications minister, Shlomo Karhi, a lightweight known to toady to his boss whenever possible, seized reporting equipment from the Associated Press, claiming that it had ignored warnings and was providing news feeds to the now banished Al Jazeera. (He was forced to reverse his decision the same day after fierce US opposition.)

I was thrilled to read author/poet David Milligan-Croft’s reviews of my first poetry book, Ariel’s Song: Published Poems, 1987 – 2023 on Amazon and Goodreads. I had to laugh when he wrote that I had taken him on “a fabulous roller coaster of emotions” because so much of my writing life has been precisely that! Some of my best poems originated from the emotional turmoil I was experiencing at the time. Plus, I am very sensitive to other people’s thoughts and emotions, which affects me deeply. But, as Winston Churchill said, “if you’re going through hell, keep going.” The ability to tap into and articulate deep emotions keeps me from going completely bonkers. It’s therapeutic writing about experiences and emotions that trouble me. I highly recommend it to others.
