"The Old Nurse's Story" is on my syllabus at the moment, and Gaskell does a great job at turning the screw. Had to point out that the "old" nurse was probably in her 40s

It is something of a cliché that amateurs talk strategy while professionals do logistics. The fungibility of commercial and military transport – and especially maritime shipping – and commercial logistics’ borrowings from the military are welltrodden terrains of study. 99 On battlefields around the world, when the fighting recedes, the material and places of war-making are expediently transformed into sites of logistics and commerce. Military airfields become airports; landing sites for warships become ports; the detention centre at Camp Bucca in Iraq becomes Basra Logistics City; and the bases at Subic Bay and Clark in the Philippines become air-sea hubs. 100 But just as easily as military bases become emporia of trade, they can be reconverted into military outposts. Quartermasters of capital are so often indistinguishable from the masters of trade.

Wow, really nice!
Now as ever, to understand Israeli operations, Jasbir Puar's The Right to Maim is absolutely crucial, and has been so grimly prescient.
a picture of a huge, low, heavy cloud of black oil over Tehran
This is the cloud of oil currently hovering over Tehran, released when the US bombed the city's oil depots. A stew of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds is raining down into the city right now. 1/2

Yeah is it that restaurant in Balbec by the sea? I love that scene
Sometimes I lifted my gaze to some huge old dwelling-house on which the shutters had not been closed and in which amphibious men and women floated slowly to and fro in the rich liquid that after nightfall rose incessantly from the wells of the lamps to fill the rooms to the very brink of the outer walls of stone and glass, the movement of their bodies sending through it long unctuous golden ripples.
Amphibian people floating in halos of light: that's the good stuff, that's what we came for
