Fanart of Beatrice from Umineko: when they cry.

Beatrice is a pale woman with long wavy golden hair. Her hands are cupped around an anatomical heart with white thorny vines wrapped around it. She gazes down at it with a pained expression. Her motif, golden butterflies can be seen over the corners of the piece

screenshot of the main menu for "Orangepeel, Onionskin," depicted in pixellated black and white. it depicts a stone carving of wo figures embracing while one stabs the other.

screenshot of "Orangepeel, Onionskin." the background depicts a building in Roman style, standing among some trees. the text reads:
Lave: Am I a nun?
Isabel: You're worse than a nun!
Lave: You'd better watch your tongue.
He patted his left side.
Lave: Four nights from now, he'll be making the rules. No more wine for Sister Isabel!
Isabel: Ha...!
Isabel's face turned.
Isabel: That'd be fine. At least then I'd know for sure that you're part of him.

screenshot of "Orangepeel, Onionskin." the background depicts Lave, a young fat man with white hair, embracing Mona, a thin woman with black hair. they are lying on the ground, in the dark, with miserable expressions. the text reads:
Mona: I'm sorry.
Mona: What's coming won't show you mercy.
Lave: But you can.
Mona: ...I can.

58 years ago Che was executed

Take some time to learn about him and read him today

Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War

www.marxists.org/archive/guev...

"The first duty of a revolutionary is to be educated."
Che Guevara

Why does the guerrilla fighter fight? We must come to the inevitable conclusion that the guerrilla fighter is a social reformer, that he takes up arms responding to the angry protest of the people against their oppressors, and that he fights in order to change the social system that keeps all his unarmed brothers in ignominy and misery.
Che Guevara
(GUERRILLA WARFARE - CHAPTER 1. 1960)

coloured digital sketch of a two headed prince holding a barbed spear and reclining on his throne while grinning. he has blue and white feathery hair and a tight body suit that's grey and blue. he wears blue lipstick and looks arrogant.

digital coloured sketch of two siblings with similar orange-brown hair and blank deadpan expressions. They look unimpressed. One has short hair, is clad in yellow and is labelled Rukma, while the other has long hair in a ponytail and wears light blues and purples - named Kanisha.

Talia was born today in one of Gaza's last hospitals. Her mother, my friend Sama'a, needs all the help we can give to keep her safe and healthy. Even a small donation makes a difference.

Im so sorry Mary Beard sometimes irritates me in her writing. "British men 'rediscovered' cave paintings in Ajanta, but before them was a British woman" yes cool awesome before the white dudes there was a white woman who "discovered" what the Marathi already knew. And Im supposed to applaud this

Nodding frantically

Pepsi to Coke. When people say things like
"kids are okay, but I just don't want them around me," we don't generally question that. I think we should. When we treat disliking an entire, diverse group of humans for something they can't change as reasonable, we enter dangerous territory. Children aren't pets or soda brands or sports teams. They're billions of people, as fully human as the rest of us. Their right to participate and engage with the community isn't up for discussion or debate.
Saying you don't want to see children shouldn't be a cheeky refrain. It should be a record scratch.

Abod, my best friend, is starving to death.

today, he told me he & his wife are selling their wedding ring - the last symbol of their happy months before Oct 2023 - in hopes they can afford to eat, and feed their daughter.

please, help them live. chuffed.org/project/help...

screencap of a text conversation with Abod.
Abod: You know how comfortable I feel when I talk to you and tell you the truth. The days when I was away from you and we didn't talk, I was at the points of contact, in danger and death for the sake of food. My heart breaks for my baby girl and my empty house. We've never been used to this in our entire lives. I don't like to complain.
me: you are justified in complaining, my dear. tell me what's in your heart and i will listen to it all.
Abod: But I didn't go to work for a whole week to get flour or a box of aid. I was not lucky. I was going to die 3 days ago.

screencaps from later in the same conversation.
Abod: Tomorrow my wife and I will go to sell our wedding ring
me: oh god Abod (crying face emojis) nooo. that's terrible. i hope you get a good price, in cash.
Abod: But I will compensate for it in the future with something better. They told her today its price is 270 shekels. Less than $100. The prices here are very low.
me: would you receive it in cash?
Abod: Yes

"Israel has warned Gazans to stay out of the Mediterranean Sea or risk getting killed."

"We live off the sea. If there's no fishing, we don't eat."

In Act of 'Brutal Sadism,' Israel Bans Gazans From Entering Sea Under Pain of Death | Common Dreams

"This is not about security," said the head of Gaza's fishers' union. "It's economic, social, and psychological warfare, a weapon of slow, deliberate suffocation."

Thank you so much for the amazing support, everyone. Currently at 38%. Would absolutely love just a little more help boosting. Hospital policy says treatment stops when the down-payment runs out. Please say it will be ok!! Desperately in need of any help. Thank you so much again.
