US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

I like to add it for mood. The party was investigating a kidnapping and as they got closer to the truth, the light rain gradually became a torrential downpour.

I hate that kind of vague, shaming language. If they have an issue, they should discuss it like a mature adult, not shame you because they’re upset about something.

James Van Der Beek’s Friends Launch GoFundMe After His Death, Say Cancer Battle ‘Left Family Out of Funds’: ‘They’re Working Hard to Stay in Their Home’ James Van Der Beek's family is raising money to help with medical bills and expenses after his death.

“How fucked are we as a country that an incredibly successful actor who worked into the last year of his life was left penniless by a two-year cancer battle?”

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

As always, one of the best gifts for artists is sharing their art🖤

Thank you for all the support throughout the years!

For folks in Maine. Folks at risk of being targeted are being advised to stay off the streets. This includes Black, Brown, and immigrant folks.

The ICE activity is truly all over the Greater Portland area.

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.

“Pandora doesn’t want to look into the big end of the telescope and see, jewel-bright, distinct, tiny, and entire, the Valley. She shuts her eyes, she doesn’t want to see, she knows what she will see: Everything Under Control. The dolls’ house. The dolls’ country. Pandora rushes out of the observatory with her eyes shut, grabbing, grabbing with her hands. What does she get, besides cut hands? Bits, chunks, fragments. Shards. Pieces of the Valley, lifesize. Not at a distance, but in the hand, to be felt and held and heard. Not intellectual, but mental. Not spiritual, but heavy. A piece of madrone wood, a piece of obsidian. A piece of blue clay. Even if the bowl is broken (and the bowl is broken), from the clay and the making and the firing and the pattern, even if the pattern is incomplete (and the pattern is incomplete), let the mind draw its energy. Let the heart complete the pattern.” From Ursula K Le Guin’s “Always Coming Home”, a collection of anthropological texts about a community that does not yet exist, “in the valleys of what will no longer be called Northern California”.

Came across this piece of advice I saved for myself, on world-building.

Do you build a world like you build a doll's house? Or do you build a world at a person's size, for people to live in?

From Le Guin.

"... the pattern is incomplete ... Let the heart complete the pattern."

Make it exist first. Then keep making it exist. Don't look back. Do not consider what you have wrought. Continue making it exist. It must exist. You must feed it. Don't look at it. Feed it. It's the only way. Feed it. Feed it. Soon it is all there is and all there ever will be. Save you. Feed it.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Oh man, it's been a long time since I've seen clean traditional form in a Hollywood movie.

A lot of Hollywood does "Hollywood martial arts" where people just get a mish-mash of training and while they get very good at snappy long kicks everything else kinda feels sloppy.

It’s a cult called the Oyengar who are devoted to the androsphinx that dwells within the volcano (via the cave entrance).

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Missing teen with autism transferred to refugee facility by HPD He is currently being held at an Office for Refugee Resettlement facility.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.
