It’s a real shame that I’ve never read anything in praise of Fortnite’s ongoing level design. The island is so complex and beautiful right now!!!

whatever you think fortnite is, they’ve replaced every piece of the game with something better and more interesting. while keeping the game running the whole time!

God, I’d love to read an oral history of their last 5 years. I’d call it “Shipping Theseus”

Russian drones crossed into Romania.

Back in 2001, I went to the Mihail Kogalniceanu airport just outside of Constanta.

We stayed where the Romanian 39th infantry regiment is.

If we still train with the Romanians there, we will shoot down any drones approaching our aircraft and or base.

Only he’s not writing to you. He is showing you exactly what is happening.

And he’s still here. Still alive. Still trying to survive genocide.

Can you see him? Can you hear him?

Will you help?

Hello my friends, how are you? I caught a heat stroke, or the flu, or covid. I swear I am sick and tired. My temperature is high. My body aches. I feel very dizzy. My bones ache.

Famine food is difficult in body, it needs to be eaten, vitamins, and my protein.

Please keep me in your prayers.

You may have seen videos like this on social media. This is is from https://www.instagram.com/doaa%5Fkhaled.98

People are being forced to leave Gaza City and to flee South if they don’t want to be killed in the carpet bombing of Gaza City the Israeli army has announced.
This is forced displacement. This is deportation. This is ethnic cleansing. This is erasing us.

Hello, my friends, please reassure me about yourselves.

I am fine and I have good news, praise be to God.

I found a place in the Al-Zawaida area in the middle of southern Gaza. It is a private land, but there is a personal rent payment.

We are 3 families: I will go, my family, including Shadi, Rasha and their son Khamis, and the family of my friend Fadi, the family of my friend, Muhammad, a private land. God willing, everything is fine. I will inform you of what will happen to me.

We left Gaza City but we don’t even know where we’re going. We’re just wandering and hoping to find a place to live. There’s not even enough space to pitch a tent. Nowhere.

What is this? Until when?
What type of life is this?
