THIS. If youโ€™re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, youโ€™re at risk.

The war is over, but now I stand on land I no
longer recognize, caught between two feelings: the joy of survival and the
unbearable bitterness of loss. I search for my daughter's hands, but I can't find them. My tears today are neither pure sadness nor pure joy. They are an acknowledgment that life has won over us, and that the price was my
soul.

The verdict here is that the Roman exploration of "sub-Saharan" Africa never happened,

The only exception is the Nile expedition of Nero

Sidenote but we weren't allowed to fund the repair of USAID-funded water plants because the Biden-appointed humanitarian chief at USAID said water infrastructure was Hamas

From what I can tell we don't have independent confirmation that an Iranian desalination plant was bombed but I do know with 100% certainty that water treatment plants in Gaza were directly and deliberate targeted, including USAID funded ones

Home | Children of Persia

One excellent organization I know for Iran is Children of Persia. All volunteer-run, they work in Iranโ€™s poorest villages and towns and have a U.S. Treasury dept license (hard to get!) to transfer funds. I know the people who run it. They are worth your donations as well.

Wherever you are, raise the alarm about whats happening in Lebanon. The Israelis are engaging in ethnic cleansing in the south and in southern Beirut. All your governments are complicit. You are not safe. This fire will consume you too if it is not stopped. Please for the love of humanity.

A fat white butch seen from chest up, wearing only a denim patch vest. He has shirt brown hair and freckles. The patch vest features pins and patches such as BUT DID YOU DIE, he/they, BUTCH, powered by spite, a leather pride pendant sewn to the vest, and a tattoo swallow pin with a banner reading "faygele" in Yiddish.

The background is a dark pine forest.

A sticker which says "you have to stay alive until it happens" with an @nerdykeppie tag on it. "It" has a rainbow drop shadow. The sticker is applied to a red metal water bottle. There are other stickers on the bottle which can only be seen in fragments.
