To any Europeans reading, please consider sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family.
It's for @bilal-salah0, a 22 year old Palestinian refugee who, while trying to raise funds for his family in Gaza, is facing the possibility of an imminent deportation from Germany. It might happen as early as next week, which is why his fundraiser is so urgent.
I of course encourage everyone who can to share and donate, but I especially think us Europeans, with the current and terrifying uptick in anti-immigration rhetoric and violence, have an extra responsibility of helping Bilal.
For more information on Bilal's current situation, please read this post from one of his friends.
Well for the 'an' bit at least, there's always been more archivists. The one in Cairo in the tunnels that were blown up by Gertrude was one.
I've always thought that while Jon was The Archivist of the magnus institute he wasn't anything special before the eyepocolypse being just another archivist serving The Eye like any other.
He only became daddy's special boy when he summoned the entities to our reality, being the focal point for the ritual.
Just my thoughts, could be completely wrong.
Honestly, I adore the way Celia is presented as a character because she’s essentially in the same position as most listeners who have seen the Magnus Archives.
We only have one real experience with a fully-fledged Archivist, and he’s always been the sole Archivist. Celia presumably would have crossed paths with him a few times during the tunnels, enough to recognise his voice, and we all know what Jon is like and how he comes across to people. We don’t know how much Celia knows about Archivists, or how much she ended up finding out about Jon, but, for as much as Jon hurt people when he fed, he never actively killed anyone.
This behaviour is unusual, Celia knows that much, but she’s just as much in the dark as to what that means.
And honestly, what does it mean. We don’t know what happened to RedCanary still, who, now that we know ERROR/The Archivist has too many eyes, we can assume crossed paths with it. Were they a victim, or a host?
Was ‘Canaries should stay above ground’ the Archivist speaking?
Why does it want dying stories specifically?
Why does it mean by ‘an’?
TMAGP has again taken something we’re familiar with, and made us unfamiliar with it, and now, suddenly, the Archivist is no longer a familiar face, it’s an unknown threat.
I have some theories, but alas, they’re all disjointed right now. Celia’s right. Something is off.
listening to jon and martin being stuck in a computer and thinking about MAG 65 Binary and the angles cut me when i try to think and it’s cold without blood and it feels like thinking through a cheese wire and the maze is sharp on my mind and
strange that "skinny" means thin. it should mean...skinny. characterized by skin. possessing or characterized by an above average amount of skin. more skin rather than less skin. but somehow it means less skin? preposterous
"Today marks one year since the death of the People’s Bubbie Shatzi Weisberger. Before she passed, she said, “I’ll fight like hell for a free Palestine until the day I die. Then I’ll keep fighting. Your queer ancestor is with you.”
If you’ve been rising up in solidarity with Palestine these past two months, your queer ancestor is indeed with you, along with countless other antizionist Jewish ancestors. For many, family and community rifts may be especially painful right now. No matter what, you are not alone. Remember that you have a long lineage of elders and ancestors at your back.
Last night, Israel resumed its brutal bombing of Gaza and has already killed dozens of people. Shatzi would encourage all of us to do everything we can right now for a permanent, lasting ceasefire. To mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living.
Shatzi died on World AIDS Day, which was b’sheret ("destined”) because in addition to being a lifelong organizer, she was a nurse for 47 years who cared for people living and dying with AIDS.
From ACT UP’s organizing to end AIDS to the movement for Palestinian freedom, we honor the ancestors and movements who made us possible."
We will be forever grateful to the ancestors who paved the path before us. May their memories fuel us to work towards freedom for all people — no exceptions."
