I have fallen back into reading and it is such a good feeling. A few years ago I was reading over 50 books a year and then after covid and the lock down there was this insane slump. Dracula Daily helped me read a few classics at a very slow pace, and I am grateful for that. Then, probably due to my love for Dracula, I started reading goth lit related books here and there.
But in January, I read Blood Over Bright Haven by ML Wang and wow, it really immersed me. Geniunely took me by surprise by how good it was. I loved the world building, the way magic worked and how it was obtained, I couldn't put it down! And yes, it is not without its flaws, but the ending was powerful. And since then I've been trying to read something new as soon as I finish the last one.
Here's to more reading!
I hope you don't; for me this is our reality. Every day we lose someone we love ππ
Last year I lost my uncle and his entire family in a missile attack on his displacement site in Rafah, and Al Jazeera YouTube reported.
Today, I am in pain as I miss the dearest to my heart, my father, who suffered from a stroke that caused him quadriplegia. He could not cope with the catastrophic life as we lived in a tent that was like a grave. His weak body was exposed to malnutrition as a result of not providing the necessary food for his condition, and the severe cold caused him to have a heart attack that led to his immediate death.
I wake up terrified every night. I check on my family, whom I fear will die of cold π₯Άπ°
And it was not limited to this, but our tent that shelters my family, children, and my brother Samer, who suffers from a chronic illness, was flooded and swept away under the dirt as a result of the heavy rains. Our tent has become worn out and does not protect us from the winds and rain βοΈβΊ

Support Education in Gaza
Despite the conditions, Gazan university students are still pursuing their degrees via remote learning.
This is particularly tricky due to scarce internet access, insufficient power to operate their devices, as well as unavailability of spaces in which to study.
Mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 is one such student, and he decided to start a campaign to support fellow students in Gaza. It is now live at @isnadgaza.
Isnad (Arabic for "support") has the following goals:
- Cover the rent of a study room for 15 students.
- Provide consistent power supply to 15 students.
- Obtain any additional necessities, such as stationery.
Mahmoud, whose account is vetted, is personally checking and selecting the beneficiaries to ensure it supports those who have no other means of studying. You can message him if you have any additional questions.
The first goal is to cover the first two months of rent. Please donate here:
The war in Gaza has, since October 7, 2023, killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined. It is, quite simply, the worst ever conflict for reporters.
This list was created consulting Year in Reviews, Fanlore articles, user feedback, vintage pinterest posts, and my own knowledge. Don't worry about not seeing the shows in their entirety, vote based on your judgement. Enjoy!
dear friends,
We are currently facing an unimaginable and heartbreaking situation in Gaza. After receiving orders from the Israeli Forces to evacuate our area, we were forced to leave our tent, running for safety while bombs rained down around us. We fled with nothing, seeking refuge in another area that, unfortunately, is just as unsafe, leaving us exposed to constant danger.
Now, we are living in tent whicg needs new setting, enduring the cold, rain, and the constant fear of more attacks. The lack of basic necessities like food, clean water, and medical supplies is taking a heavy toll on us. Prices for essential goods have skyrocketed, and itβs becoming impossible to meet even the most basic needs for survival.
We are urgently asking for help. We need immediate support to provide food, shelter, medical aid, and funds to help us get through these difficult days. Without assistance, our survival is uncertain, and we are reaching out to anyone who can offer help in these desperate times.
If you are able to contribute, whether itβs through donations, sharing post, or offering any kind of support, it will make a life-saving difference. Your generosity can help us stay alive and find hope amidst this crisis.
Please, stand with us during this devastating time and help us survive the hardships we are facing. Every bit of support counts, and we are truly grateful for anything you can do.
Thank you for your compassion and solidarity.

gilbert markham really goes from "i don't like her very much" to "she's an angel and her hair is so pretty i could watch her draw forever" to "sobbing in the bushes about how she doesn't like me back hours" really really fast
