Please help Amira if you can. Donations, yes - link in her tweet below - reposts welcome too. Even likes - so she knows the world is watching and cares. Despite the "ceasefire" which isn't really a ceasefire at all, aid is not getting in, people are desperate.
Please help me hold on.
Your support isn’t just aid it’s the last breath of hope I have left.

I’ve been stripped of everything after the genocide that erased us from the face of the earth. They took everything even our will to live. I have no home, no land, no single thing left to call my own.
I’m Amira, a genocide survivor from Gaza.When the bombs stopped, the real war began,Healing, rebuilding, and finding strength to move forward has been harder than I ever imagined
From Gaza to uncertainty,Icarry loss and love learning to begin again,one breath at a time

Last month, Cooking Vinyl hosted an exclusive playback of the Atmos mix of 'I Robot' to mark its reissue. After the playback, Alan Parsons joined fans for a Q&A live from his home in California. Here he is discussing how remixing the album in Atmos and 5.1 opened up new creative space in the mix.

I had been following the progress of this sea otter mom and pup all month. Upsetting to learn last week the pup had died. But finding out people reportedly were seen picking the baby up and posing with it for selfies prior to this...infuriating 🤬 #seaotters
On October 19, 2025, a sea otter mother and her tiny pup were struck by a boat in Monterey Harbor.
They were crowded and harassed at their haul out spot. A few days later, the pup was found dead.
