In a press conference held by the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza earlier today, they confirmed that they estimate 10,000 people remain missing under the rubble and that, with their very limited means right now, in order to be able to locate and exhume these bodies, the operation could take up to three years. Until then, these 10,000 are not counted among the casualties.

As summer approaches, the trapped bodies are going to be a major source of illnesses and epidemics are expected to spread. Already, there are 20,000 cases of hepatitis in Gaza.

All of this of course is made infinitely more difficult by Israel blocking fuel from entering while it continues to target civil defence vehicles. As a matter of fact, Rafah now has only 3 functioning fire trucks according to a Palestinian Civil Defence spokesperson.

the laios/toshiro conflict is super well written ("let's honor falin's death" vs "i will stop at nothing to bring her back"). but also it's so fucking funny that this happens amidst the sudden reveal that your extremely beloved autistic main character has been slowly driving an asian man nuts through microaggressions.

i think that people should start using “in poor taste” as a descriptor again given it is often the most applicable and clearest phrase when discoursing about media and analysis; sometimes a piece of art isn’t actually THE most problematic thing of all time is is. ​just in poor taste (not JUST in poor taste as a reductive take on potential harm but/and as in regardless of intent the impact is this was an offensive or stupid take/choice)

i think we trc likers on the internet really undervalue and ignore the really fascinating and well done world building and magic system that maggie steifvater crafted. yes the characters and their relationships are exquisite and i’m glad they are appreciated but like the blurring of worlds and time and mythology is amazing. unfortunately she also does this magic trick with her writing where 24 hours after one finishes a maggie steifvater book any details other than the characters and the broadest story arcs erase themselves from ones brain, so i do not fault myself for this nor any of u. rip
