From an almost pitch black underground shelter mostly safe from the bombs, as kids scuffled in the background, 22-year-old Nour Adam filmed himself. “Children eat here, sleep here, and have their life here,” he said. “They don’t have any place to get out. The airstrikes are still in the sky, hitting the buildings and the towns.”

Later, as he has to do every time he wants his videos to be seen by the wider world, he braved more shells to scramble to the roof of the building to get signal and post the video to Twitter, in a process he has repeated hundreds, possibly thousands of times. He hashtagged his tweet “#IAmStillAlive.” Adam lives in Douma, Eastern Ghouta, which has been under siege for five years. As the seven-year anniversary of the Syrian civil war approaches, he is asking himself: Is anyone out there still watching?

Global interest in the conflict is waning, and analysis by BuzzFeed News shows the number of shares on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites of the most-read stories about Syria in the past two months were a 10th of what they were just over a year ago.

“When I take a photograph or a video and post it on my Twitter I really hope that someone will really help us, and really see what is happening here in Ghouta,” Adam, a journalist and activist said, speaking to BuzzFeed News from a roof in the city of Douma. “I work so hard to try and post videos, but no one cares. I don’t know what to say. They just see the article or report, and just say: ‘Oh, that’s really sad.’ And after that they turn the internet off and go and live their lives.”

17 years ago, I was standing in front of a booth with flying broomstick and brick wall *which I found it lately it was Platform 9 3/4*, I curious because I knew it has something magical and witchy thing. I beg my mom to buy it. And that was the first moment I know Harry Potter world. JK Rowling has taught me not just in literature way, but also life lesson. Every characters & details in the books had their own personalities. They struggled with their own things and teach us not to judge persons by it's cover and learn how to put ourselves into their shoes *e.g Snape*. To me, Harry Potter books not only spelled me by the characters. But also the ambience, situations, etc something I cannot relate with my own local traditions. HP world is a gate to learn different culture from your comfort zone. I might no be the best HP fan, officially I only belong 3 books from the entire series. 1 CD film from the 1st movie *which idk where the hell the cd now*, 1 CASSETTE Ost HP 1st movie *also idk where it is, which I know it's broken now*, harry's wand *it was gone by the flood disaster*, and others merchandises, never been to HP world at USJ... But if you dare me to watch HP movies marathon, definitely confirm: I DO. Come please, sit next to me 😊 don't forget to bring your snacks. Happy 20th Anniversary !!! ⚡👓 Prop: Severus Snape's wand belongs to @ijoule 2nd photo: I cosplayed as Herminone Granger with DIY props from head to toe for my friend's thematic superheroes bday party. #harrypotter #harrypotter20thanniversary #harrypotterworld #hogwarts #slytherin #gryffindor #hufflepuff #ravenclaw #severussnape #magicwand #witch #wizard #jkrowling (at Perfectly Magical - 20 Years of Harry Potter)
