Picture of Masa and Maha, Bara'a's two daughters. 💔

Picture of Ibrahim, looking sad.

Picture of Bara'a and Ibrahimunder a tarp, both looking sad. The the sun shines through holes in the tarp.

Picture of Bara'a with two imsges of her daughters imposed on it. There is text on the image: The war is over, but now I stand on land I no longer recognize, caught between two feelings: The joy of survival and the unbearable bitterness of loss. I search for my daughter's hands, but I can't find them. My tears today are neither pure sadness nor pure joy. They are an acknowledgement that life has won over us, and that the price was my soul. 😔🥺💔

Iimplore you with the heart of agrieving mother;Idont want to lose another piece of my heart

He is in despair over his campaign!💔😢

The bridging of word and image here is beautiful. It feels like an epic production, but Pasolini shows so much with so little, especially compared to many other biblical epics, or modern big budget cinema (goes without saying).

Jamal's parents are desperate for help, & donations are v slow. Jamal has asthma and diabetes, & is in critical condition. He desperately needs treatment, & his family can't afford it. They need your help, & are being blocked by both the admin & users of the site. Please help them survive genocide:

Three young boys pose for a picture. One boy in a blue hoodie is making a peace sign, another in a green sweater is resting his face on his hand, and the third boy is sitting next to the boy in the blue hoodie. They are sitting on stacked cushions.

Four children and an adult with a face covered by a strawberry emoji pose for a photo. The children are wearing hooded sweatshirts, one in a blue jacket, one in a gray sweatsuit, and one in a black beanie and a gray and white shirt. They sit in front of a red fabric backdrop.

Posting again for our dear sister Eslam and her sweet boys. I have known Elsam quiet a while & it hurts my heart to think all that this family has been through, we must support them more now than ever, share please and donate if you can.

Don't forget or ignore them.

tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety.
venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars.

child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me.
mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed.
mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

Behind me is all that's left of our home...just rubble.

We are trying to hold on, but we've lost everything. No shelter no safety, just hope that kind hearts will help us rebuild our lives.

Your support is warmth, food, and security.

It's a quiet storyline in The World right now, compared to everything else, but I'm truly disgusted and disheartened by how many of my literary heroes have been silent about Neil Gaiman's horrific transgressions, or have even subscribed to that godawful anonymous "Neil Gaiman is Innocent" Substack

I had missed @melikhovo.bsky.social’s essay on horror theory, an incredible treasure trove of thoughts, critiques, branchings-out, and readings; really gets at my frustration with/disinterest in “why do people like horror” as a research question, particularly as the perpetual default approach
