Masa&Mahaยฎ 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 acknowledgment that life has won over us, and that the price was my soul.
Her remaining son
โI buried Maha&Masa with my own hands.Now,I watch the cold & hunger slowly stealing Ibrahim, my last heartbeat.I lost my home & my daughters; l refuse to watch my only son freeze to death in this tent. Please, donโt look away.Help me keep him alive.โ๐ญ๐๐

The verdict here is that the Roman exploration of "sub-Saharan" Africa never happened,
The only exception is the Nile expedition of Nero
Some truths should stay buried. In my new short story, TRUTH & RECONCILIATION, a couple's therapy session takes a horrific turn when the past refuses to stay in South Africa. A story about marriage, monsters, and the ghosts of apartheid. Read it via the link.

One excellent organization I know for Iran is Children of Persia. All volunteer-run, they work in Iranโs poorest villages and towns and have a U.S. Treasury dept license (hard to get!) to transfer funds. I know the people who run it. They are worth your donations as well.

A fat white butch seen from chest up, wearing only a denim patch vest. He has shirt brown hair and freckles. The patch vest features pins and patches such as BUT DID YOU DIE, he/they, BUTCH, powered by spite, a leather pride pendant sewn to the vest, and a tattoo swallow pin with a banner reading "faygele" in Yiddish. The background is a dark pine forest.
A sticker which says "you have to stay alive until it happens" with an @nerdykeppie tag on it. "It" has a rainbow drop shadow. The sticker is applied to a red metal water bottle. There are other stickers on the bottle which can only be seen in fragments.
