Even just a share or quote could help my family. Please help if you can. 🙏🇵🇸🥹

The Aeneid by Virgil trans. Frederick Ahl 🇮🇹: Very good and more consistently engaging than the Iliad. Portraying Aeneas as more of a refugee than a settler coloniat ala Joshua means it's aged quite well. Grade: S

Cymbeline by William Shakespeare 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: Perhaps controversially I did like this one (probably just because it was a break from the Romantic comedies). Grade: A

Love's Labour's Lost by William Shakespeare🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: All the Shakespeare romcoms blend together for me at this point. Grade: C

Henry VIII by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: Good Tsar Bad Boyars: the Play! Grade: C

The Prophet by Khalil Girban 🇱🇧: Great use of language. Grade: A

All's Well that Ends Well by William Shakespeare: Protagonist rapes her husband. Kind of forgettable. Grade: C

The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: Builds up intrigue well and the third act is good but a lot of this feels like the Invisible Man just being a vaguely annoying arsehole. Grade: B

The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: Man gaslights his wife. Very mean-spirited. Grade: D

Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism by V. I. Lenin 🇷🇺: Obviously quite dry but I completely agree with Lenin's theory of Imperialism here. Grade: A

The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: Yes, it's problematic but it's a pretty engaging courtroom drama. Grade: A

As You Like it by William Shakespeare 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: Like most Shakespeare comedies I can leave it. Abrupt ending. Grade: C

Apology by Plato, Socrates 🇬🇷: Man, Socrates really didn't help himself, did he? Grade: A*

LOOK AT MY CHILDREN. 💔 The weather is getting colder, and they have no WINTER CLOTHES because of the war. chuffed.org/project/belal-fa… I’m trying to raise $500 for warm clothes and basic needs. Any donation or share can help. 🙏❤️

Please don’t ignore my plea. 💔 I need to raise $200 to afford my treatment, my child’s treatment, and food for my children. Even a small donation of $10 can make a difference. 🙏 Please help us or share my post. Don’t leave us alone. chuffed.org/project/177664

My children are sleeping in darkness every night… and as a mother, I can no longer bear watching them live this way. 💔 Every night, when darkness falls, there is not a single light in our tent. No electricity, no reliable source of power—just darkness. In that darkness, even the simplest things become difficult: caring for my children at night, checking on them, and even moving safely around our tent. And it is not only the darkness we struggle with. There is also the heavy silence that fills our tent at night. I sit beside my children, trying to make sure they are okay in the darkness, while feeling helpless because I cannot even provide them with a simple light. The hours pass so slowly, and the night feels unbearably long for a mother worrying about her children. 💔 For months, we have been living this way. What hurts me most as a mother is that I cannot even provide my children with a simple light to make them feel safe at night. We have been living through difficult nights for months, but winter makes those nights even harder. The nights are longer, the cold is harsher, and the rain makes life inside our tent even more difficult—especially for my children. That is why I am reaching out to you today from the deepest place in my heart. I urgently need a new 100Ah battery. The battery costs around $600, in addition to the essential equipment needed for it. Because of the extremely high prices and difficult circumstances in Gaza, even basic necessities have become very expensive. I know this is a large amount, but I am holding on to hope and trying to reach this goal step by step. This battery is not a luxury for us. It means light for my children, a source of power we desperately need, and a little safety during the long nights of darkness. If you can donate, your contribution—no matter how small—can bring me one step closer to bringing light back to my children. If you cannot donate, please share this post and help me reach someone who can. I am a mother asking you from the deepest place in my heart: please help me before winter comes, so my children do not have to spend another winter night in complete darkness. ❤️‍🩹🇵🇸 chuffed.org/project/194527

Today, we will be evicted if we cannot pay the $200 rent to our landlord. Look at my children. They have no idea what is happening. 💔 chuffed.org/project/019dd4d5… We need 10 people to donate $20 each, or one person who can cover the full $200. @DrNeenaJha @reveaIism @oliveegirl

My dear friend @Cephalaspis77 I hope you are well. I have a small request: could you help me register my son in kindergarten so he can learn and receive his rights like the other students? You are my only hope.

I’m a father of 9 children. We are still in urgent need of $135 to buy the medicine my child needs and some food for my children every dollar means so much to us, Please stand with my family and help us through this difficult time 🙏💔 chuffed.org/project/188953-h…

My friends, here we begin another day of pain, hunger, and oppression. 🥹 Today and every day, you are our support and you are the ones who alleviate this pain. 💕 My family needs $100 today 🆘🙏 @flynn_kell28252 @fawnn404 @b_natou chuffed.org/project/169897-s…
