@delsaulnier.bsky.social @paralogion.bsky.social I apologize for writing to you, but Gaza City is being destroyed. We don't know where to go. My family is hungry, food is scarce, and prices are high. We need a tent for shelter. Please, any help, even a little, could save lives.

Do you know what's harder than losing your home? Losing hope of ever getting it back.
I tried, I tried a lot with people.
I begged them to donate for our lives and dignity, to no avail.

Perhaps we don't deserve to live with dignity like the rest of humanity.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Yacoub. Yacoub was a tailor before the war but he lost his shop and home. He’s trying to return to the North with his large family including Aida, 16, Anas, 14, Suhaib, 12, Batoul, 10, Yahya, 5, Zakaria, 2 and his wife who is pregnant.

War and Protecting my Peace

Hey, a reminder that I’m looking for work. I’m an award winning writer and editor serving the community. My book Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction just won an Ignyte award! I’m looking for clients, and would love to work in narrative games.

Get in touch with me!

"we cant uninvent ai" no we cant but we couldnt uninvent nfts either and nobody gives a fuck about them anymore

Oh fuck me, the poor player is strutting and fretting on the stage again

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

Compassion fatigue is a real thing, but in the context of people who work hospice and healthcare and people who do support services for basically anything deeply depressing where you get to know about the worst aspects of death/disability.

It is not about people seeing homeless people lol.

Most action/adventure franchises have passed me by. I've never seen a Fast and the Furious film, Mission Impossible, Rambo, Top Gun... Heck, I haven't seen any of the Terminator movies either. Or the original Predator. And the only Indiana Jones movie I've watched is The Last Crusade.

What soulless thing is this that laughs before a wreck?

that's not a very nice way to refer to London museums

AI server farms destroy the planet, destroy our ability to verify information, destroy users' ability to think for themselves, and are actively raising a generation of students to be incapable of performing the tasks they'll need to ever contribute to society. It's morally justified to destroy them.

to the tune of Diarrhea Planet's Ghost With A Boner: SHREW WITH AN ONION! SHREW WITH AN O-O-O-O-NION!

Brother Herbert's Big Onion

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Zukiswa Wanner is among them. A writer, an editor, a translator, a small press publisher.

Where are the writers speaking her name?

We see you, Zukiswa. We are with you. We will stay with you.

Where is this from our industry?

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo

Disney+ has historically used OOONA as well. How do I know? I subtitled a bunch of material for them in Greek on the OOONA online platform when I was working as a translator.

I didn't even think to look into OOONA's origin back then. I just knew we were required to work on it by the client.

Fuck.

So, I'm making a video game based on Palestinian folklore. It's called Thursday of the Dead, and you can talk to a Palestinian ghouleh. It will have branching narrative, and art all made by a human (me). I need exactly $100 to launch it on Steam when it's finished.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Waseem. Waseem was married just a few days before the war began and him and his family (some with injuries) have been displaced repeatedly. He hadn’t made a fundraiser before but now in two months his first child Nabil is going to be born❤️

Normally I don't promote NESS stuff here as much because hey, you can follow that account if you want it.

But for reasons I'll get into in the campaign update later, this was like a final boss for everything I've wanted to do up to this point. This was so key.

Now? A new era (level?) begins.

bro you look like you drop common items

“Ah," said Mr Pin. "Right. I remember. You are concerned citizens." He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where 'traditional values' meant 'hang someone'.
