If anyones interested in learning about the first black vampire short story, published in 1819, heres a link to the wiki, its called The Black Vampyre, and its about a former slave turned vampire who seeks revenge on his slave master. Its actually a first in many categories!
you can read the story itself here
Not only is it the first Black vampire story, it's the first comedic vampire story, the first story to include a mixed race vampire, the first vampire story by an American author, and probably the first anti-slavery short story. Some scholars believe that the text was written in response to John William Polidori's The Vampyre.

THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE | CHAPTER 18
There. He’s done it again. Dropped a bomb that wipes out the efforts of every tribute who came before him. Well, maybe not. Maybe this year he has only lit the fuse on a bomb that the victors themselves have been building. Hoping someone would be able to detonate it. Perhaps thinking it would be me in my bridal gown. Not knowing how much I rely on Cinna’s talents, whereas Peeta needs nothing more than his wits. As the bomb explodes, it sends accusations of injustice and barbarism and cruelty flying out in every direction. Even the most Capitol-loving, Games-hungry, bloodthirsty person out there can’t ignore, at least for a moment, how horrific the whole thing is.

Mitiarjuk Nappaaluk was 22 years old in 1953 when Catholic missionaries in Nunavik, the Inuit homeland in what is now northern Quebec, came to her asking for help in learning her native language. Nappaaluk started by writing down sentences in Inuktitut syllabics, using as many words as she could find. She eventually let her mind wander and started inventing characters, imagining the life of an independent young woman named Sanaaq. Nappaaluk ended up working on the story for more than 20 years, while also raising seven children, working as a teacher and spending summers in the family’s hunting camp. The writing was interrupted by two trips south to receive treatment for tuberculosis — the first a five-year stint, the second for six months — during the TB epidemic of the 1950s and ‘60s. When Nappaaluk returned to Nunavik, it was rapidly changing, as southern business interests, agents for the federal government and missionaries reshaped life in the North. She worked her impressions of these changes into the story. The result was Sanaaq, the first novel written in Inuktitut syllabics in Canada. It was published in Inuktitut in 1984 and has since been translated into both French and English. It is considered a classic of Inuit literature.

Hi, I'm fundraising here on the behalf of Shayma, a Flasteeni woman in Gaza who is trying to evacuate her family out. She lost her home and her sister to bombing and is attempting to flee but the price for leaving at the border is exorbitantly expensive and she's trying to move 16 family members
Her p/ypal email is: saqerajwa@gmail.com Please boost and share if you're able!!
I just realized people will probably ask me for proof so:
This is the original donation tweet, however, she's been running into problems (the account is from her martyred sister, Doaa, who you all may recognize from this tweet:)
If anyone wants to help Shayma recover her sister's p/ypal, it's strongly encouraged/requested
and here is me asking Shayma if I could boost here:

Note: An average Poster has 16.67 in each stat; an average mortal, around 10.
Remember, different stats create different classes: the Funnyman wants high INC, but has no need for REF; the Discourser emphasizes COM at the expense of ESO and REF.
