quaker oats is disgusting and I will go out of my way to never eat anything made by them again. they kept at least one factory so disgusting that when the FDA said Hey you need to actually follow health regulations (in response to a MASSIVE fucking recall due to contamination that made a ton of people sick, and anecdotally myself and several people I know got sick from food that was NOT recalled) they said actually it would be too hard to follow health regulations and SHUT THE FACTORY DOWN INSTEAD

AND THEY TARGET SO MANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS AT CHILDREN

Thank you so much everyone for a wonderful shop update! I’m so happy that so many people loved my pit fired pieces! Here is a pic of one that is sold, but I didn’t get around to advertising. A very chunky Paleolithic horse.

Table: Projected Fatalities by March 2025

"These figures are not speculative—they reflect the grim logic of total siege. Nearly one million Palestinians in Gaza, or 40% of the entire population, may already be dead or dying as a result of this genocide. Over half are children. This is not hyperbole. It is arithmetic backed by epidemiological modeling, humanitarian reports, and the lived reality on the ground.

Some may struggle to accept the scale of this toll. But Gaza has already provided ample evidence. By late 2024, Gaza’s own health officials were warning of “thousands of excess deaths” due to disease outbreaks and untreated conditions. International humanitarian workers described watching children die of dehydration and women die in childbirth with no medical help. In one field survey, over 60% of Palestinians reported losing at least one family member since the genocide began. In families of six to eight people, this means multiple losses in each household. The pain is collective, interwoven into the fabric of survival itself.

And still, many of these deaths go uncounted—not because they are invisible, but because the world has chosen to look away. The elderly man who dies because he cannot access dialysis. The infant who vomits blood from typhoid. The teenager with an infected wound that turns septic in a tent. The entire family who dies of hunger surrounded by fields of food they are not allowed to touch. These are not “indirect” deaths in the moral sense. They are central to the machinery of extermination. They are what make this genocide not just an event—but an ongoing system.

The magnitude of this loss is not always visible in news footage. But it is carved into Gaza’s epidemiological data. It is heard in the final voicemail of a doctor who could no longer treat his patients. It is felt in the testimonies of parents burying child after child. And it is codified in every policy decision that blocks aid, bombs hospitals, and calls starvation “necessary pressure.”

The indirect deaths may be harder to photograph—but they are no less real, no less intentional, and no less worthy of mourning and outrage. They are genocide by other means. They are the slow kill. And they must be counted."
