Genuine question - does anyone see the act of telling someone to evacuate their home, then destroying it and everything surrounding it, as actually humane?

I was reporting at a shelter housing displaced people from south Lebanon when we heard two thuds. Everyone went quiet & looked up to the sky. The guy next to me said, “those were strikes.” Only when we got notifications a minute later did we learn it was Israeli jets breaking the sound barrier

Damn near lost my mind

I’ve also created an Instagram page to curate the films that I watch when I can’t sleep. There’s ten so far. www.instagram.com/insomniacfil...

The worst bout of insomnia that I’ve had as an adult was when I stayed awake for four days while in Chapel Hill. On the last night I was so distraught that I walked around the city on foot from 1am until 1pm when I ended up at Merritt’s Grill

Repost for Twitter: I have an essay coming out soon about the personal film club / festival that I have whenever I’m dealing with bouts of insomnia, and in an effort to expand on it, I’m creating an IG page showcasing some of the films but will also have a biweekly list and reflections as well
