There's being resentful, and there's losing your childhood home hours before the ceasefire because someone decided it's a good "hiding spot" simply because our family doesn't share the same political views. And here I am, dissociating through another Monday at work.
My grandma was diagnosed with cancer right before the last war. She fought hard, holding on long enough to make it back to her home in the south before she passed. I never thought I'd say this but I’m glad she died, spared the humiliation of looking for safety on the roads again.
And what this "expat life" of luxury lacks is any sense of the satisfaction sold to us. May the curse of luxury never touch your work-worn skin, never brand you with the unnatural softness of ignorance.

Actually, it took nearly 1000 murdered people, countless women and children, 100,000 people displaced, a mass IED attack across Lebanon, the violation of countless foundational articles of international law, and terrorising an entire sovereign country.

This is going to be studied by military and espionage scholars and practitioners for decades.
The videos from my hometown are haunting - familiar streets are reduced to ruins, teachers, neighbors, and friends lost in an instant. I've never felt as powerless as I do now.
Thank you to everyone for trying to help! They're temporarily safe now with a place in Saida until they find something else.
My parents are still looking for a place to rent! Most numbers circulating on social media aren't leading anywhere or charging 1.2k$+ so if you know of any legitimate leads somewhere safe please let me know!
How am I supposed to continue my day while hearing the airstrikes in the background while calling my family? How am I supposed to work knowing they're in danger? For once, I wish I had faith in something.
Any reliable sources to follow up on the situation in south of Lebanon in real time? I'm worried sick over here but I don't want to add to my family's stress by overly asking.
Exploiting real-life tragedy for entertainment is fucking disgusting. "The Creator" uses actual footage from the Beirut explosion as a VFX shot in their new trailer. This is both offensive and lazy. @20thcentury do better. Source: @CorridorDigital
Do pharmacies exist in Greece? Yes.
Am I packing medication and different sizes of bandaids regardless? Absolutely yes.
