I'm the receiver for Doaa's fundraiser, we chat almost every day. Doaa and her three children have just been displaced to the south. As the situation grows more desperate each day any support you can provide helps, including sharing Doaa's posts! 🙏

I'm Duaa from Gaza. The war is over. I had a beautiful home, a wonderful life, and healthy children😞. Everything is destroyed. We're homeless. We've even lost our livelihood. Donate. I want to save my children from this devastation and live a better life.😞😞💔

I think if you’re a man screaming at your wife in public we should be encouraged to stone you in the town square. As reparations. For history.

Oliver Sacks doesn't seem real. What do you mean if I'd been born a bit eariler, there's a chance my neurologist could have been a neurodivergent muscle bear who rode a motorcycle and wrote both compassionate case studies of his patients and breezily funny anecdotes about the time he had the DTs

Mr Sri Lanka. This is a rare case where I think the outfit would be better without the giant gold snakes around his head. Maybe add a cape, but I think the rest of the outfit (what little of it there is) is so great that he doesn't need the snakes.

Mr Laos. Just when you though this year was a bit quiet on the insanely huge, bedazzled, symbolic costumes along comes Mr Laos and blows everyone else out of the water. This is insane, but it's also *so* good.

Mr Indonesia has a nice look that's neither top of the pile or bad in any way but I do like that fact that he looks like he's been distracted by someone off stage doing something that's causing him huge offence.

Mr Cuba I feel needs some explaining because surely he can't just be dressed as sexy Jesus mixed with Charlize Theron from Snow White & The Huntsman. It's a well made garment and he's smizing so very hard, but I surely do not understand.

Mr Ecuador. Look at how happy he is. This is a chap who is just *thrilled* to be there. Also look at how tiny his feet look peeping out of those giant fluffy trousers.

Late Wonders

My face is now gone.
Instead, I have a hawk's face.
None of the poets
notice, they only want fame.
Fame is a bucket of eyes.

"her memory is a cloud she can't hold..."

Lots of feels with this poem for my mum. Sent with love for anyone with a parent or loved one with Alzheimer's/dementia. It's a journey.

(And thank you @poetsorg.bsky.social and Rick Barot for sharing this one. It means a lot.)
