UPCOMING PROTESTS

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

Twitter/X user states: Israel has wiped out over 900 bloodlines in Gaza since October 7th. As in, killed every single living member of the family, in every generation. As in, no survivors of that family name. As in -genocide. [by: @ shailjapatel]

Twitter/X user was originally responding to a post made by @ MahaGaza, who wrote: Wateen Monir Abujummeiza, the last member of the Monir's Abujummeiza's family, succumbed to her wounds today in #Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli attack.

[Image description: there is a picture of a young girl in a dark green, sleeveless dress with an attached belt into the design, and a blouse; most likely a buttoned up long-sleeved collared shirt, which is light purple. It has also fluttery sleeves. She carries a backpack, and this picture was most likely taken before school.]

Link to the tweet

Link to the speech

In case anyone hasnt clicked the link: the quote is directly from the White House's official transcript of the speech.

In the same speech, yet again, he repeats debunked atrocity propaganda about Hamas beheading babies and committing mass rapes, even claiming, yet again, to have seen pictures of these events.

In case anyone still thinks Genocide Joe is secretly working behind the scenes to mitigate the harm to the Palestinian people.

i think i may have accidentally gotten my roommate into petplay

our landlord was coming over and he was worried he would find out we have pets. so i JOKINGLY told him to put a collar on and the landlord would think any pet stuff we forgot to put away was for him. and he did it. HALF JOKINGLY HALF BECAUSE HE REALLY LOVES HIS DOG.

when the landlord came over and saw my roommate he looked extremely uncomfortable so we played it up. a lot. on the bright side he didn't say a thing about having any animals other than my roommate in here so we continued to do it every time he came round but i dont think it's a joke for my roommate anymore

"The hell is all this"

"Are you disrespecting Touhou, you little shit?"

The part of the video at the end where it pans down and reveals the camera operator is also wearing a cosplay dress is essential to my enjoyment of this video.

my last post lost traction so i’m making a new one, tl;dr i was so sick i was unable to work for 2.5 weeks, and on top of that my job (cleaning houses) is so slow that i only work 3 hours this week. sooo basically i’m unable to pay my bills that are coming up in 2-3 days

i need $227 (car payment + car & renter’s insurance) plus groceries (aiming for at least $75 because high blood pressure + high blood sugar = more expensive health food) so my goal is $300.

if every follower of mine donated $1 i’d reach my goal 6x over! thank you all so much, i’m sorry i have to keep begging but i was expecting my job to have picked up but tourism hasn’t happened nearly as fast as everyone thought so i’m fucked. i love and appreciate you guys so much 💙💙💙

$20 / $300 thank you!!!!

i need this ASAP - it is URGENT !! i still have only received $20 and that means i’m gonna be at least 250 in the negatives once this hits ✌️if you know anyone who is very financially stable maybe send this to them it could make my whole week :’)

$110 / 300 tysm!!! this will at least cover the geico bill but i do need another $100 by tomorrow to make the carmax payment. thank you guys as always!! 🩷

i still need this by today :’)

can we make a blood pact but platonically. just as friends. we haven’t been doing much bonding lately :(

hi um my liege y-you asked me to um. report back to you when the prisoner you sent into the labyrinth had been, um, dealt with by th-the minotaur. well y-your highness t-there seems to be a bit of an, ahem, issue. no, no the prisoner is still in the labyrinth, y-yes the minotaur found them. i-it just ah, um, it appears that the. it appears that the prisoner and the minotaur are, um, they're-

One of the many things that bothers me about the superficiality of the main story of Tears of the Kingdom is how much information is repeated almost word-for-word with no variation. During every sequence of cutscenes after Link clears a temple, for instance, each Sage will repeat the same story of the Imprisoning War. Not only is this tedious to sit through, it's also frustrating in its denial of the potential for each Sage to have a unique personality and perspective.

I understand the challenges of nonlinear storytelling, but having five different characters (and Zelda) tell the same story presents interesting opportunities. To give an example, the writers could have created a Rashomon situation in which each Sage tells a slightly different story, each of which would contradict the others.

Because there's no narrative tension or dissonance, however, there's no potential for narrative resolution. Many players will achieve the main objective of Tears of the Kingdom, "Find Zelda," fairly early after seeing the memories contained in the Dragon's Tears. Allowing gaps or contradictions to form in the narrative would have motivated the player to leave the comforting gameplay loop of shrines and sidequests in order to find and confront Ganondorf, who might have been able to put together the pieces of the puzzle.

As Ganondorf seems to be content merely to cause minor acts of mischief in Hyrule, there's no real need to fight him save for the challenge and spectacle. There's nothing wrong with assuming that players will beat a game simply because games exist to be beaten, of course, but why are we so tolerant of the assumption that a game doesn't need to have good writing?

from the article:

For anyone who doesn't know, this is from the Indy Drag Theatre where I live and these queens are SUPER talented. All of the shows are hilarious drag versions of popular movies/shows during which the audience is encouraged to interact like a drag show.

If you ever get the chance, come see a show! And obviously invite me to go with you since I live here!
