“Red Fox And Magpie In Autumn” by Niko Pekonen

Oh look, the men the IDF have captured in the photo have their hands tied. Like....the mass grave they "found".

Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity. The checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli offensive, but unarmed, civilian Palestinian men will likely be separated from their families and remain trapped in Rafah during an expected Israeli assault. The previously unreported disclosure of Israel’s construction of a ring of checkpoints around Rafah underscores how Israel is pushing ahead with plans to attack the city where over one million displaced Palestinians are sheltering in tents and makeshift camps. The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel’s practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war. The rounding up of Palestinian males in Gaza and photographing them stripped to their underwear drew condemnation in December, with the US calling the images ��deeply disturbing”. Relatives of many of the men photographed recognised them and said they had nothing to do with Hamas. Israel's military was later accused of staging footage of men surrounding weapons. “Israel considers every male a Hamas fighter until proven otherwise,” Abbas Dahouk, a former senior military advisor at the State Department and military attache in the Middle East told Middle East Eye. “It’s not a sound move. Cordoning Rafah is a daunting task and good luck separating fathers and sons from their families.”

Death to settler colonialism, free Palestine!

Okay yeah I get the point. It's obviously because of the dual romance and Germanic influences though.

BUT

NEITHER OF THOSE WORDS ARE EVEN SPELLED HOW THEY'RE PRONOUNCED

It's ingredienTs and creaTcher. The 'T's are very much pronounced. Even though it's subtle yes the 't's should be in there. So uh, your English might be bullshitter (sic) than it's meant to be /lh

english's pronunciation rules are absolute bullshit poopoo made up crap but one of my favorite side effects of this in written english specifically is like. altering the spelling of a word in such a way that it's technically pronounced the same. but reads very differently when your eyes go over it in written form. and that sort of dissonance between the proper spelling and the altered spelling producing the same basic sounds in your brain creates an unprecedented level of comedy.

My customised copy of E.M. Forster's 'Maurice'

So I'm posting all the photos of my copy of Maurice! I've posted about it here before but wanted to make a post showing all the photos now that it's a finished project!

Here's the cover with my painted version of E.M Forster's handwriting (my second hand first edition copy came without the dust jacket that would've had this cover).

These beautiful sketches were done for me by the wonderful and talented @marigoldsbone based on scenes from the film, which I stuck in next to the corresponding bits of the book.

And this is the unpublished epilogue that I made into a little booklet on Word and stuck in the back (order shown: front, back and middle pages)

The text was taken from this post, which I'm sure that someone on here under another username linked saying it was their post - that was how I found it but I saved the link ages ago - but I can't remember and can't find the post again so if it's yours please let me know and I'll update this! In any case thank you for putting it on the internet!

I won't show all my silly little notes written throughout because they're personal, but I wanted to post the main features because I love it so much and I'm proud of it! :)

SPIRK DOODLES BEFORE BED

As a lesbian, it’s happened twice already that one “guy” stands out to me and I think “huh maybe they’re kinda cute and interesting, I wanna get to know them” and then I get to know them better and it’s a closeted trans girl who I somehow sniffed with my little nonbinary lesbian nose
