one of the most frustrating things about the neil gaiman situation (and others like it) is people who were fans immediately moving to a different person to idolise ('well, at least we still have x author' or 'please tell me y author is still a good person') and in this situation specifically, 'terry pratchett would be furious'. no!!! you do not know!!!you have no idea whether terry pratchett or any author you like was/is a predator! you cannot take a situation in which a man's public persona as a feminist and supporter of women allowed him to prey on vulnerable women without suspicion and then look at all the other men who portray themselves as good people and say 'well, these ones are still okay though.' just stop idolising celebrities!!!!!!!

The destruction of Palestinian homes exhibits the two central dynamics that comprise the political stakes of the logic of urbicide. On the one hand, demolition for military purposes comprises a clearing of zones of separation (cf. Hass and Harel 2001). These zones, around access roads, the separation barrier, borders and settlements, constitute a disavowal of the agonistic relationality that characterises existence. This separation is central to the constitution of an Israeli identity that is understood as existing in and for itself, without relation to its Palestinian other. The agonistic, provocative relation that constitutes the existential condition under which Israeli and Palestinian identities are constituted (or communicated through shared divisions such as the Green Line and separation barrier) is effaced by such separation. As such, then, this separation gives rise to the fiction, or figuration, of an Israeli identity free from any constitutive alterity. On the other hand, however, the consolidation of such a fictive figured identity necessitates the constitution of antagonism and subsequent homogenisation of the territorial spaces to which these antagonisms refer. Separation cannot merely be an inert fact, but is rather constructed as the representation in spatial terms of the intractable antagonism that exists between two distinct, unmixable, and thus unrelated, entities. This antagonism rests, however, on the homogenisation of the territorial entities claimed by each party. Thus Israel has administratively worked to ensure that the territorial space claimed by their figure of identity is homogenised. Israel is not simply separated from Palestine, but traces of alterity within Israeli territory (e.g., Palestinian homes built without permits) are removed through demolition. This second dynamic comprises the consolidation of the disavowal of the political: the lasting effacement of the agonistic relationality the latter comprises.

how people (re: radfems) continue to act like somehow the nature of the sex activities themselves are what make a sexual encounter violent baffles the mind. the idea that neil gaiman was allowed to rape so many women for so long because "liberals pressure women into being kinky for #Feminism" and not that he was rich and powerful and was taking advantage of very specifically poor women who were relying on him for housing, food, etc disgusts me in a way i cannot articulate. how is this relevant? how did "sex positivity" allow gaiman to do the same thing many many many men before him have done (leverage their higher social and economic class to coerce and silence victims)?

this is a disgusting attempt to drag very real victims experiencing the very real consequences of a world when men have the social and economic standing to control women and their bodies in the ways they please into the typical garbage radfem bullshit about how BDSM is evil and scary and bad and #normalizes violence. heres the thing you dipshit, sexual violence against women has been normalized for centuries and it certainly was not under the guise of Kink or Freedom of Speech! and had gaiman not had access to this language, he still would have sexually abused women because he was a rich man in a position of power to do so. that's it! it's a very simple material reality! no amount of "sex negativity" will do fucking anything to prevent sexual violence. god.

Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman's whole family was so obviously an enterprise – it functioned on the exploitation of vulnerable people, young isolated women hired as nannies and babysitters, a tenant family who would manage land and properties. The whole timeline and the way they did damage control was so much like any major company – Palmer identifying the vulnerable and "hiring" them, Gaiman providing the money and feeling entitled to abuse. Palmer functioning as HR to mediate "abuse" by further isolating the worker. The reproduction of ideology in teaching your child to call his nanny a slave. The final straw for HR only coming when the beloved, innocent child was exposed to the abuse. All for preserving the value of their family, the ideology it represented (Palmer and Gaiman's long documented history of taking advantage of fans) and the media enterprise where they both made and sold "Art" about it. Family abolition now and so on.

[Haaretz is Israeli Private Media]

[According to] a senior [IDF] air force officer[...]

[M]ost of the air force's equipment in the war so far was bought from American companies using U.S. military aid.[...]

With Congress' approval, the Biden administration has sent over unprecedented emergency military aid of $14 billion, on top of the regular annual U.S. military aid of $3.8 billion. Washington has also sent another $500 million for Israel's air defense systems – Iron Dome, David's Sling and Arrow.[...]

The senior air force official told Haaretz that without the Americans' supply of weapons to the Israel Defense Forces, especially the air force, Israel would have had a hard time sustaining its war for more than a few months.[...]

The Iranians thus made clear [in their attack] that they intended to very seriously damage the Nevatim Air Base in the south, where Israel's F-35 squadrons are based. Iran also launched a number of surface-to-surface missiles at the Mount Hermon base in the far north as a deception, but they missed the target.

Thus, the air force's planes and air defense systems inflicted a serious defeat on the Iranians. But this was also done with the vital help of American, British and French planes, and reportedly also from Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and with the coordination of radar and warning systems between Israel and those five countries.[...]

The Arab and wider international cooperation with Israel remains the most important component of the defense of Israel's skies – and this happened at a time when some government officials were disparaging our friends. This cooperation provided the most important contribution to the Iranian failure. We can safely estimate that many of the interceptions were done by foreign militaries.

Hello. Have you seen Travis Charest's Kizumonogatari fanart?

Don't believe so!

[famafraternitatis1614]

Ok... so let's play a game: ...CLAMP's work or Kazushi Hagiwara's work...? :D

...How did I come up with that stupid idea...? Well, since I love CLAMP's works (especially the older ones from the 90ies) but also really do love Kazushi Hagiwara's BASTARD!!, I just can't ignore how similar their works are at some points - YES, the shoujo mangaka-quartett and the shounen/hentai artist...! xD

I love that genuinely...! :D (I think the spirit in the 80ies/90ies was just the same for them all, so naturally their would be at least some similarities... also I think H.R. Giger must have had some influence on mangaka of that era too, when looking at certain paneels xD)

Even funnier so, because the CLAMP ladies and Hagiwara actually knew each other and seem to have gotten along well...? :D (they have meet and were guests on his (in-)famous mangaka-parties xD He states that in the comment section of this BASTARD!! volumes himself xD)

So yeah, maybe it was even an intentional homage to each other...? xD

...oh and yeah, BOTH of them, Hagiwara as well as CLAMP, seem to like drawing men and women sexy, just look at the paneels... :D

EXAMPLES:

The one image above the text is Luci from Bastard. Have some Kamui from X/1999 now in comparison xD

...and again, Luci...

...and Kamui:

Now what I meant by Giger-influence. Dark Schneider:

and Satsuki from X/1999 within her occult supercomputer Beast:

Kamui from X/1999:

...but it's not only the "tech-parts", but also more "fleshy/meaty" aspects: Scans are from CLAMP's "RG Veda". Ice-Demon:

Ashura and Yasha:

Ashura freeing Shurato (...especially these two pages could perfectly fit into Bastard as well... 'tentacle pr0n in my shoujo-manga? more likely than you think...' xD)

...and some more "bio-body-horror" (RG Veda by CLAMP):

...especially those designs and Shurato (Ashura's sword in RG Veda) design made me think of Anthrax from Bastard :)

but also the architecture fits I think xD

...now for the Bastard paneels:

Anthrax:

meaty/fleshy horror designs:

...will upload some more in the future^^ (It's a bit of a struggle to search through all the manga volumes, as they are quite a LOT... xD)

I don't know where to take this honestly.

Terrible, awful thought came to mind, but: Story about a single mother who's the parent of a Hero Protagonist trying to raise her son in peace, get with either her lifelong crush or the supernatural being she had a one-night stand with and adores and above all else not die in spite of all the death flags on her because of her role.

Anon, please please write this, I want to read it terribly. ;v;

[famafraternitatis1614]

every now and again someone will review a game badly because they can't remember the names of characters that aren't common in english, seemingly without realising what a nightmarish self-report that is. like that's the kind of confession they should have to use torture for

CRITICAL EMERGENCY!!! 15 y/o girl needs heart surgery!!!!

Earlier this month, we made a post asking for your support in attaining 15 year-old Nour’s monthly treatment for her congenital heart condition. Unfortunately, the funds raised came too late. Nour’s health took a dramatic downturn yesterday, and the doctor said that because she had gone so long between monthly treatments, several of Nour’s heart valves have closed up. She now requires an urgent operation to save her heart.

NOUR WILL DIE WITHOUT THIS SURGERY!! She is dying right now because her heart is struggling to function! She needs this surgery IMMEDIATELY to save her young life!!

The doctor said the surgery will cost $8000 USD. Nour’s family’s GFM is in Canadian dollars, or CAD, of which the conversion rate to USD is $1 USD=$1.41 CAD. This means we need $11,300 CAD in donations in order to pay the equivalent of $8000 USD for her surgery.

We NEED to raise the funds ASAP so Nour has a chance at survival!! We are breaking this sum up into 2 smaller goals to be more attainable. Our first goal to save Nour’s life is to raise $4000 USD/$5656 CAD.

**Progress: $43,187 CAD out of $49,000 CAD**

(or $30,554 USD out of $34,670 USD)

PLEASE HELP SAVE NOUR’S LIFE!!!

Hi, if you have a moment, please support @reem-reem-8 and their campaign. Shehab is 14 years old and trapped in Gaza, along with her father Fahed (38 years), her mother Reem (32 years), her sisters Dana (13 years), Mona (9 years), Malak (6 years), her brother Yahya (2 years), and her grandmother Mona (60 years). They are also with her aunt Mona, her husband Muhammad, and their children Othman, Tariq, and Iman. They have been forced to flee over 15 times due to vicious bombings and attacks from the IOF. They are living in a tent, which does practically nothing to protect them from the weather and don’t have enough food and water. Due to this, many of them are getting sick. They are trying their hardest to get these vital necessities and baby items, like milk and diapers, but they now cost ridiculously high amounts. They need our help to survive and eventually evacuate into Egypt! Unfortunately, they are still far from the goal, now at $3,877 of their $50K goal. Please, if you can donate even $1, it would help them get the resources and safety they desperately need. If you cannot donate, please share their campaign with everyone you know and make your own posts to help their campaign get more attention.

[famafraternitatis1614]

this is a comic my dear friend @wolf-aid had made using batman both because he’s a very dear character to me and because we are hoping that a popular character will bring more attention to the comic itself.

the comic says most of what i can say already — but i’ll say it again. ibrahim is an incredibly sweet young man who i’ve been close friends with for a few months now. he and his family need help to be warm, to eat, to get medicine, and to survive — hopefully soon they can escape their awful circumstances.

please have a heart: donate what you can, reblog this post, and pay attention to ibrahim’s campaign.
