I'm Nour Alanqar, and reaching out to you during a time of unimaginable hardship. I am 26 years old, married to Ashraf Ismail, who is 32, and together we have three beautiful children: Hussein, 6, Rajaa, 5, and Youssef, just 10 months old. Our lives have been turned upside down by the devastating war in Gaza, and we desperately need your help.
My daughter Rajaa is a radiant beam of sunshine, bringing boundless joy, warmth, and love to everyone she meets.
On a dark night at the beginning of the war, our area was subjected to massive bombing. The explosions reached our home, forcing us to flee into the night, running amidst periodic explosions and searching for survival. We made our way to southern Gaza by morning, seeking refuge in Rafah.
Hello,
I'm Nour Alanqar, and reaching out to you during a… Nour Alanqar needs your support for Rebuilding Live: A Mother's Plea for Hope
This is our home, filled with our memories and moments of joy and happiness, now reduced to rubble. Its destruction shattered our hearts.
In Rafah, we found shelter in a crowded warehouse filled with strangers, all of us struggling to find basic necessities like food, water, safety, and cleanliness. Despite these challenges, we were again hit by direct bombardment. My husband was injured in the shoulder, and the scene around us was filled with blood and corpses. The cries of my children in those moments still echo in my head.
A fragment of what it once was, and now, what it has become.
We moved several times to places described as safe, only to face new tragedies. During this period, my precious daughter Raja contracted hepatitis, adding to our suffering.
It was incredibly difficult for me to endure these disasters, especially as I was in the process of giving birth. Youssef was deprived of proper breastfeeding and the necessary nutrition for his age. Hussein's right to education and a safe childhood have been cruelly taken from him.
My baby Youssef, whom I clung to throughout the war, running with him through the rubble of shattered homes to escape.
At an age when Hussein should have been enjoying his childhood, all his rights were taken away from him.
Our situation is dire, and we need your support to rebuild our lives and provide a future for our children. Your kindness and generosity can make a profound difference. Your contributions will help us secure safe shelter, access to medical care, and the basic necessities of life.
Please, consider helping us during this critical time. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to safety, stability, and a chance to rebuild our lives.

apparently other professors are telling my adviser to increase my dissertation marks & she’s asking me to help her figure out which criteria to adjust?? that’s not my job also stop gossiping about me.
now that I think about it. exact opposite energy to professors at my bachelor’s who fudged my marks to be lower so that other (obedient) students could get ahead of me. what am I doinggggg that’s making every authority figure obsessed with me. I don’t even care.
shit’s so dire out here. how are you calling Circe a feminist masterpiece and praising Rick Riordan for making Greek mythology accessible (??) and basing your whole ass dissertation on this without reading the source texts??
sat at me dissertation defence/viva and just listened to the most mid analysis ever from another student only for a professor unironically call it ‘very good effort’. we are never making it out of the trenches.
why was this so sweet, what did he expect people to say, "no mr. brian may from the band queen, you do NOT have permission to play the sea shanty, put down the guitar and go back to the astrophysics" like,,,, what a silly goose
having no more dissertation is great, I get to do stuff for fun. will get back to hxh and spn today + read a book in addition to that. can you believe this shit.
can I be mean for a sec? I hate how the majority of the fandom cites Joshua Gillespie as someone who ‘won’ against the Fears. he really, really didn’t; in fact, he gives us one of my favourite lines + the most devastating, fundamental truth about the tma world:
every day I am burdened by the fact that the Web is about having your story written for you whilst the Beholding is about narrativising yourself, under the ‘Eye’s clarifying influence’, putting on a show rather than being puppeted, whilst also forcing everyone around you to replay their trauma over and over as if they were stuck on a stage, spotlit to hell, and there is very little difference between the two, the choice is illusory because one is always free at someone else’s expense &c. &c. and none of that mattered bc the Eye is stupid apparently. be so serious rn
There is some discussion about Elias being, if not directly representative, at least reminiscent of a surveillance state (different from the capitalism takes), and on my end, I'm personally... sceptical that he's meant to speak to an anything state. The idea of totalitarianisms is that they have all the resources at their disposal. But Elias needs to use quick-thinking strategies and blackmail to keep a few police officers doing what he wants them to, and it still doesn't stop him from being punched in the gut by one of them. Maybe I'm taking things too literally, but I don't see an angle where he resonates as a political authority from our world.
He's not meant to represent a surveillance state. If we must bring politics into it, then Elias would be a representation of those within a surveillance state (but who do not control it) seeking to use its permeation of society to advance their own personal goals. He's not his own boss, he works for the Eye, which is using him just as it uses everyone else. The biggest lie Elias tells is the lie that he is in control. He's not.
That said, political and economic readings of Magnus rub me the wrong way because I feel they box the Fears into too small a space. They speak less about discrete systems and more about aspects of the human condition, regardless of the particular society humans happen to be in at any one point in history. That's why they resonate.
I fully agree! I think straight political readings are constrictive, but if we analyse which political ideas resonate with the text, Elias comes up as someone who is still a victim of the system but has a single ounce of power that he leverages against his fellow victims as an attempt to rise above his circumstances.
Basically, Elias is an opportunistic bastard. He sees a chance to rise to the top and in so doing just climbs over everyone else.
Also I thought about it some more and realized... Elias being an ideology within a reading doesn't make sense in the first place because he is a character, not a system. He can't *be* the system, that's not how systems work. Even those at the top who do control systems are operating within them.
