Still thinking fondly about @VirginiaEwrites’ The Correspondent

What a beautiful novel 👏

Been a while, Twitter. I’ve come mainly to vent via written word.

The Academy of American Poets has published this poem, and that is a very, very good thing.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Can we take a rest?
Maybe die for a few
months or years
and wake up when the poem
is complete,
when the flowers in our
garden start to grow,
their scent luring
the sparrows into visiting
our house,
our house that’s now
a small forest of rubble.

I can’t deal with the vampire Lestat’s melodrama and obsession with his mama

Three customers and forty minutes of wait time. I still dread the days I need to visit an SIB branch.

[MoTaz @motazazaiza9]

Fighting from outside is harder than I thought
But no worries at all
Everyone is trying to pull me to his side
Nobody cares about me as a person or as a Palestinian
They just seeing me as a content to get more reach
Everyone is trying to push me in politics and no one cares about what I lost or been through
Me(Gaza)
But in every dark place there is kind of hope
I was never going to be able to continue without this hope (some people)

[MoTaz @motazazaiza9]

So,

I had to evacuate for a lot of reasons you all know some of it but not all of it.

Thank you all

Pray for Gaza.

[MoTaz @motazazaiza9]

Even if I made it and stayed a live, will I be mentally able to enjoy a moment in my whole life?

[Joseph Fasano @Joseph_Fasano_]

I offer this to all who may need it today.

[AF🕊 @beeeerz]

@ukaul Ahhh I totally believe this 🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯✨

There are enough days that you think you are back, making jokes and making plans, until you feel the random weight on your shoulders, the extra pounds on your mind, the general, sudden sink, & you remember the stubborn child still sitting on top of you. you name it grief

[Dr. Maya C. Popa @MayaCPopa]

Always returning to this poem by @SeanLemonhead:

[AF🕊 @beeeerz]

it is not the eyes that are blind, but the hearts
22:46

[AF🕊 @beeeerz]

convince yourself to look; so you won’t forget. you must always remember

[AF🕊 @beeeerz]

these are the kind of days that reveal the quality of souls

[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

Every child killed in Gaza today would be alive if we had a cease-fire yesterday. These are the stakes. This is our failing. You can retweet this everyday until a cease-fire happens because it remains true. How high does the pile of bodies have to get?
