nimble, a border collie-papillon mix, wins the 12” class in the 2024 masters agility championship. the first time a mixed breed has won at westminster ever.
The tomb of Martin the Warrior.
the level of censorship around this man is ridiculous, what happened to free speech? It’s just his name.
HERE IS ANOTHER FUNDRAISER THAT WOULD DRIVE ME UP ON THE WALL. PLEASE DONATE TO SUAD AHMAD (#279). SHE IS A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE AND SHE IS EXHAUSTED TO THE BONE. THIS MAKES SENSE SINCE SHE IS CONSTANTLY ON FLIGHT OR FLIGHT MODE. SHE WOULD ALSO BE ILL, BUT SHE HAS TO PUT ON A STRONG FACE AND RECOVER ASAP!
AT THE SAME TIME, KHALED IS ILL WITH 2 VIRAL INFECTIONS. THERE IS ONE IN HIS CHEST AND HE WOULD HAVE TROUBLE BREATHING. HE DEPENDS ON A NEBULIZER, BUT DUE TO THE LIMITED ELECTRICITY, THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE METHOD. HE DESERVES BETTER MEDICAL CARE! ! !
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? PLEASE DONATE. HELP US ACHIEVE THE SHORT-TERM GOAL OF 36K IN THE NEXT 3 DAYS. THERE IS $1,259 USD LEFT TO GO! YOU CAN EVEN MATCH ME. I HAVE GIVEN $5 USD, BUT YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO GIVE MORE. AND IF YOU CAN'T, THEN MAKE SURE TO BOOST!
[ID: tweet from @/kushiteDictator on X that says:"I never want to hear “internal conflicts” while referring to African struggles out of your mouths ever again. 6 million Congolese are dead and many still die for your cobalt and coltan
Thousands of Sudanese are dying for your Gold and uranium

there’s something so insane about people who used to love putting “free Palestine” in their bio now deciding they have pearls in need of clutching. how did you think Palestine was going to be freed? did you think that if we all wrote “free Palestine” in our blog titles the world would just say oh you know what, our bad? did you think if Palestinians protested really, really peacefully, that Netanyahu would be moved? did you think that essays about decolonization published in the neoliberal academy would do the trick?
or did you simply expect Palestinians to wait? to wait and watch every day as their loved ones are killed because they step out of line? as the journalists and medics are shot around them? as Israel commits war crimes against them and the world does nothing? raining white phosphorous down on an open-air prison where the exits are controlled, closed, bombed out? as the Sabra and Shatila massacres are forgotten and repeated and forgotten and repeated and forgotten and repeated in an endless cycle?
when you wrote “free Palestine” in your bio, what did you think it meant?
amnesia as a trauma response has the potential to be so fucking funny because imagine you just spent like 6 months breaking Whumpee down piece by piece, stripping them of their rights, destroying their mind and body with scars that will never heal, relishing in the irrevocable damage done by your hand even after they've been rescued
and then you run into them at a grocery store and they're like "oh hey (: sorry didn't see you there ((((: no i have no idea who you are but you're blocking the shelf i need to look at"
my ass would be humbled so goddamn fast. i would be shinji gripping the sink sobbing in the mirror because Whumpee basically just called me cringe. my brilliant torturing apparently meant fuckall and i'm not even worth the time of day. they'd probably misspell my name on a starbucks cup. whumper turned whumpee because how do i recover from that. what the fuck.
What are the common theories about the universe? (Fate, free will, what’s out there? Gods?)
How much does this society know about its world? (how much is explored versus not, are they fully aware of their history or are there things they haven’t discovered yet? What’s beyond their scope?)
What sort of religions or communities exist?
What foods do they eat, what wouldn’t be as normalized?
What traditions do they have? Festivals, celebrations, holidays, etc.
How does the average person spend a Sunday?
Is there a skill that’s expected for people to know? (ex. where I live most people know how to ride a bike) Is there something that would be odd in this society to know?
Do people drive or do they transit or do they walk? How do people get around?
How do people communicate with each other? (Phones, letters, birds, etc.)
What’s something that makes your setting unique or fit specifically for your story?
Good luck!
