  • There are Palestinian journalists reporting from Gaza. And I do check in with news orgs that use their reporting, and independent reporting.

    I sincerely hope these tiktok videos are true. But outside of tiktok, instagram, facebook, reddit posting the same video, I have not seen a Palestinian journalist report on this.

    I’m not trying to put you down, but I’m skeptical to accept videos at face value because it’s easy for people on social media to create false narratives and upload them for content. I’m just hoping for a journalist to verify this story.
















  • I think I went on a rabbit hole reading about this island online awhile back. IIRC they speak creole Portuguese, while EG speaks Spanish, and have been punished by the government for wanting independence for years. This Internet shutdown is just a drastic and recent punishment.

    It does seem like a nice life there. But very different than what we in the west are accustomed to. They lack many basic necessities, there’s shortages of everything that’s imported.

    It would be important to not be a burden to the community. Starlink isn’t available there, so I’m not sure of another way to work remotely from there. And unless you have a skill they would benefit from, you might be a strain on a community already stretching it’s resources. But I do see the appeal of an island like annobón.
