    In Grayfall, community fills the gaps where government quietly steps back. Elya is a clothing maker known for helping anyone who comes to her door. She takes payment to survive, gives more than she keeps, and avoids turning grief into content. When a community vigil is shut down without explanation, she stays behind to witness what happens when authority clears a room. She doesn't speak. She doesn't post. That choice becomes a story anyway. Through rumor, anonymous tips, and a vicious gossip blog that thrives on implication, Elya's silence is reframed as guilt and her visibility as strategy. As narratives harden and trust fractures, those closest to her must reckon with the difference between order and care, presence and action, truth and what spreads fastest. Told through multiple perspectives and distorted online voices, Moonlit Murmurs explores how community survives under scrutiny, how misinformation takes root, and what it costs to stay human when silence is no longer neutral.

    I've come to make an announcement, -Aurele is a bitch ass motherfucker, she helped spread misinformation, that's right, she took her commenting ability and said false shit, and she refused to take criticism, and I said that's disgusting so she blocked me, so I am making a callout post on my Wattpad dot com, -Aurele and -Cecelia, your IQ is small, smaller than the numbers of chapters in this "book" except way smaller . And guess what, this is what facts and logic look like! <krashboom> that's right baby, no more strawman arguments, no more babying around, no more being nice! Look at that, it looks like an actual argument not made by toddlers who block me after continuing a debate! She fucked me over with anxiety, so guess what? I'm gonna fuck her over with facts and logic, that's right, this is what you get, a fully fledged argument where you can't block me and make your profile private! except I'm not just gonna hand them that. I'm gonna go higher! I will add actual sources and screenshots! how do you like that Obama? I actually did the right thing, you idiot!!! you have 23 hours to respond and take responsibility before I really go into a deep dive, now get out of my fucking sight or I'll take this up in chat. /ref to that one sonic the hedgehog fandub

    In 2007 an outbreak of a so-called mysterious disease struck certain parts of the Netherlands, it was much later diagnosed as Q-fever. Not so mysterious because it was discovered already in 1935. The Dutch authorities didn't react appropriately. They fumbled and stumbled over their very own misinformation. Remind you of something? Now, in our societies there are people who blame certain parts of our population for the outbreak of the corona virus. Their memory span is all but too short. In good health I wish you yours, as I wish we can make a deal to at least agree we keep our sanity afloat. Here are some facts folded into poetry to make you think about your own. Thank you for reading.

    George Orwell's *Animal Farm*, published in 1945, serves as a timeless allegory of the Russian Revolution and a prophetic cautionary tale about the cyclical nature of political corruption. This thesis explores the enduring relevance of Orwell's work by drawing parallels between the themes and events depicted in *Animal Farm* and the current political climate across various global contexts. It delves into elite power grabs, propaganda, the betrayal of revolutionary ideals, and the exploitation of the working class, using modern examples like populist leaders and state-controlled media to highlight how Orwell's critique of power dynamics remains critically pertinent today.

    There's a lot to be said about how different governments, institutions, their politicians and their officials handle this pandemic. Testing is overall still not up to standard. Not only in the US. In the Netherlands starting April 4000 tests a day were conducted. Around the 7th of April the authorities and the news media announced the number of tests would go up to 21000 a day. The next week, on April 14 another extra 19000 tests a day were announced. In my book that equates to 40000. However the news item conveyed it would lead up to a total of 29000 test. It makes one wonder where the other 11000 tests are. Last weekend, around the the 9th of May the person responsible for all the testing was shortly interviewed about the press briefing he issued. It said starting from June 1 the amount of tests a day would reach 30000 per day. After the interviewer asked several times how many tests a day are conducted at the very day, the answer of the person responsible was brief. Since the beginning of April onto May the daily amount of tests conducted number up 8000 to 9000 a day. All the news in the mean time therefore should be considered misleading, a misconstruction, misinformation, misconstrued to an outright lie. Apart from the question, the main news outlets in the Netherlands apparently just copy the numbers and don't do their own calculations based on their own messages. It is almost too inconceivable to see, hear or read how incompetence is at the helm of this doomsday ship heading to next spike. Meanwhile these so-called leaders want the population to go back to normalcy. Only people who are possibly infected with Covid19 and need hospital care are being tested. Tracking and tracing their contacts isn't being done on the prolific basis other neighboring countries are performing. In the Netherlands one doesn't know where this virus is, nor is there a clue to find out on the short run. I am concerned about the possible outcome.
