Praying and hoping with all my heart that this ceasefire lasts and this genocide ends. And that the people of Gaza get all the food, aid, and necessities they need to survive and thrive 🙏

All I know is that what gets me through the Monday blues and a long work week is lots of coffee, any #TheRingsOfPower news/crumbs, and reading amazing/creative fan fic by this talented community. Preferably with a bottle of First Age wine 😁
