this is a thread of some of the books i have read this year (2025). i will be updating throughout, with notable favourites.☺️
You know the germans fed the prisoners in the camps, right? Just not enough
Since when do genocidal ethnic cleansers dish out food aid to the people they are ethnically cleansing?
Tears come too easily these days.. this crushing grief, this powerless fury, they murder you quietly from within. Words from Palestinian doctor, read by actor, Benedict Wong
i think we should stop saying billionaire and just start saying “money hoarder”
Elon Musk is now officially worth $405.6 billion, projected to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027.
They didn’t ’come around’ to Gaza - they’re getting ready for the 2026 elections.
i might pick a random day of the year & celebrate my birthday again just bc i’m alive.

Friendship is such a concept. Knowing that someone who isn’t obligated to love is willing to go to the ends of the earth for you is so humbling man. Your heart knowing it’s safe with this person and you don’t have to be someone you’re not with them bc they love every part of you?

BBC just slipped in this morning on their Gaza coverage that aid drops can "fall into the wrong hands". Literally putting in Israeli propaganda, a point even not substantiated by evidence, as a recent NYT report noted

What’s your favourite song from each Alessia Cara album?
Ali is a doctor. Saving lives without a pause. While he starves. Damn every genocide enabling politician, organisation and propagandist!
I just want to eat… nothing more, nothing less.
If the child on the left was old enough to pick cotton and the child on the right was old enough to attend Klan rallies, then today's children are old enough to learn about both of these and how they've led us to where we are today.
my mother is now on it😭 pray for this person, because we shall not see peace until they have been replaced with someone who does their job.🙏🏾
this person answered the phone and i immediately knew i was dealing with an unserious person and my day was about to get even worse. i have a mind to file a complaint with this hospital for hiring incompetent people.
Sudan is not talked about enough, the sights I've seen give me nightmares. This horror really needs to end!
