🔴 Breaking: The Madleen aid ship, sailing with hope and supplies, has been seized. All aboard detained. It's now being redirected to Ashdod. They tried to stop a mission of mercy — but they can’t stop the will behind it. The spirit of the Freedom Flotilla lives on. 🌊

Israel apparently dropping a white chemical (phosphorous?!?) on the Madleen

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Solidarity to comrades in LA. It's really heartening to see so many people telling ICE to gtfo. We are many, they are few.

good statement

#Char_Roleplay 6/8 Mark: The... meaning of life? >.>'' Meri: O.o The hell's with this question? How should we know? Mark: ^^' I don't think we have to know exactly... >.>' But, I don't think there *is* a meaning. Not a broad one, anyway... Meri: >.>' Huh? (1/5)

When ICE comes into our neighborhoods targeting our communities and hurting our leaders, we show up! United. Organized. Ready to protect families.

#ComJunity day 8 As much as I want to say someone sweet like Rota, or someone peppy like Nanashi... I'd say it's actually Victor. He helps bring them together and even proposes the trial period with Emily's group. And yeah, it's not the the MC Emily 'cause she's too busy arguing with Seth 😅

#Tropes101 day 8 It's honestly hard, 'cause most tropes can be done well if the chemistry is right, but on the other hand, I've seen some tropes I usually love done poorly. I guess generally, I like seeing them go through hell together, then coming out stronger in the end 💕 Examples below~

What my city showed yesterday and today - is that there’s a deep love for the people here in LA. All our people. 👀 There’s solidarity and love that runs deeper than our beautiful oceans. … we have Solidarity forever.

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."

Nazis definitely claimed they were making the country safer.

nowhere near LA but rightly horrified and don’t want anyone scooped by ICE or local cops to spend a second longer with them than can be avoided? these links may help.

#Char_Roleplay 6/7 Rota: x_x H-huh? U-um... Seth: I think I can answer this one for both of us. >.>' Neither of us are the type to seek attention like that. If anything, we could both do *without* the amount of attention we get. Rota: DX' Y-yes... Thank you... Seth: *shrugs* It's true. (1/2)

I feel like a lot of games nowadays have lost the art of scattering rewarding collectibles everywhere. Give me things like the jiggies or musical notes in Banjo-Kazooie, or Skulltulas or Heart Pieces in Ocarina of Time. They feel good to get, and they can be challenging without being annoying 💕

ICE, policing, borders, prisons… it’s all one system based on exclusion, punishment, hierarchy, control. We can, and must, build better ways of living together.

Like seriously. I know to a lot of people it sounded like a far-left rallying cry before, but if we get through this, we need to Abolish ICE much like a democratizing Germany got rid of the Gestapo or the collapsing USSR got rid of the KGB

DO NOT BUY JURASSIC WORLD EVOLUTION 3 They’re using ai generation in their game, boycott this shit and force their hand to remove this garbage from their game entirely. store.steampowered.com/app/2958130/...

A much larger crowd is now marching around the Federal Detention center with signs that read Abolish ICE

Tell me your pet's name with a GIF. Well, you get two of my cats this way 💕

Yeah, we don't much like these guys here.

#ComJunity day 6 I don't think they even know 😅 But they can get farther when they put aside their differences and work together~ Which is definitely easier for some than others

#ComJunity day 5 Considering Seth doesn't even want to let Emily's friends join, he's definitely an obstacle with them even becoming a group 😅 It doesn't help that he's the ship's captain.

#ComJunity day 4 I'm super grateful to @windykazea.bsky.social and @sairlenneth.bsky.social for helping me with ideas and editing--it wouldn't be the story it is without you 💕 And then also @primas99.bsky.social for helping so much with beta reading and always being so encouraging~

#pretendpanel 6/6 I have so many that I want to do one day 💕 My current book is the first in a substantial series, so there's the rest of that... Then I have the unnamed dystopian fantasy centered around a group of rebels, plus the urban fantasy where teens can transform into magical beasts...

#ComJunity day 3 It's impossible to tell with the story the way it is now, but Nanashi--the talking glasses who start Emily on her journey... His original iteration was more to help them on the side. Now, though, he's always with someone in the crew--and helping how he can~

#ComJunity day 2 They're all in this to stop the demon lord--or some are there more for each other. Emily and Koujaku were already friends, while Ritos comes in as their assigned Guardian Angel. They meet Seth and the rest of the crew on accident, but soon find they already have similar goals.

#ComJunity :D' Another one I'm late on~ I'm so good at this. (Though seriously, thank you for hosting this!) Anyway, hi~ I'm Niki, and I'm working on a YA space fantasy about a crew searching the galaxy for magical creatures that can help them defeat the demon lord~

"Don't murder Greta Thunberg and half a dozen other people in cold blood with US made weapons" gets a whopping 11 signatures in the House

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

These are concentration camps on US soil and we need to start treating them as such really, really fast.

#Char_Roleplay 6/6 Lynn: Ugh, I miss having nice things~ Let me tell you--it's no fun dying. I have literally nothing, and do you know how boring it gets? Sau: ...I think 'boring' is the last consideration on anyone's mind when they think about dying. We just so happen to be an exception. (1/6)

I've been saying this, and friends/family just respond with "I only use it to make my emails sounds more professional." Aggravating that people are cool with destroying the environment and using a plagiarism machine just to avoid learning proper grammar.

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

I don't want to 'utilize' AI. I don't want to become 'more efficient'. I don't want to outsource the process of actual thought to a machine. I want to struggle with my words and chip away at my own soul until something shining and glorious and mundane and fucking human emerges. That's being alive.
