Wait why couldn’t your brother speak English at the border?
in certain places you can speak certain languages. for example, if you're in a taxi in jordan, you must speak arabic and not english or else the driver will assume you're a stupid tourist and will try scamming you to pay more. if you're in an israeli area, you should speak english and not arabic because you may be attacked for revealing that you are arab. if you're in a palestinian area, you should speak arabic and not english because you would pass as a tourist and palestinians are kinda... well we're wary about tourists, especially white ones.
at the border, you must not speak at all. if you do, be weary about what you say. my brother only knows how to speak english, so we tell him to not speak ever at the border. if we reveal that we are american or have another identity, it could put us in a difficult spot and our palestinian identity might be questioned even further and it would take much longer to leave or enter palestine. it puts the whole family at risk of being held up longer than we have to. same thing at israeli checkpoints. keep your mouth shut and maybe they'll let you in. only speak the languages they want to hear.

There is also a border with Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea. And, lest anyone forget, there is a maze of underground tunnels one recently-freed Israeli hostage calls "Lower Gaza" which presents numerous illegal exit opportunities.
As Ari Zivotofsky observes in the Jerusalem Post, a September 19, 2023, episode of the Palestinian television show Emigration claimed that, "in the past 15 years a quarter of a million young Palestinians left for abroad." In 2022, over 15,000 of them who lived abroad (having apparently escaped the "prison") willingly returned to it to celebrate the feast of Eid al-Adha.
This is not how prisons work.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has been running a series on "Gaza Before October 7" refuting the "concentration camp" and "open-air prison" claims with pictures and videos. The first two episodes follow Palestinian "influencer" Yousef Alhelou as he travels around Gaza, showing off the top spots for tourists, including a gold market. Subsequent episodes include an Al-Jazeera feature of the economic boom in Gaza, Turkish television reports on the markets of Gaza, and various Arab media outlets covering the many sporting events in Gaza.
Hamas propagandists argue that Gazans are denied goods and services they are entitled to because of Israel's "land, water, and sea blockade," but Israel only blocks weapons from entering Gaza. Even after October 7, Israel has continued to supply electricity, food, and medicine.
What the "pro-Palestine" luminaries will never admit is that Israel has been forced into controlling Gaza's ports by the long history of weapons shipped there. In 2001, two vessels, the Calypso and the Santorini, were seized with weapons destined for Palestinian terrorists, and in 2002, a Palestinian ship called the Karine A was seized with 50 tons of Iranian weapons destined for Gaza. Since then, Israel has acted to prevent further shipments of weapons from reaching Gaza by sea. In 2007, after Hamas took over Gaza completely, Israel imposed an inspections regime and began more aggressively searching ships for smuggled weapons. Food and medicine are not prevented from entering Gaza.
Poor access to healthcare is another complaint about life in the Gaza "open-air prison." In April 2023, the Jerusalem-based anti-Israel activist group B'Tselem faulted Israel for preventing Palestinians from leaving Gaza in order to be treated in Israeli hospitals. But Israel treats plenty of Palestinians. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh sends his entire family to Israel for medical care. In 2013 his 1-year-old granddaughter was treated in an Israeli hospital; in 2014 his daughter was treated at Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital and his mother-in-law was treated at Jerusalem's Augusta Victoria Hospital; in 2021 his niece was treated at Ichilov Hospital. Just this month, it was reported that Haniyeh's grandniece was being treated at the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva. But why should any Gazans be treated in Israeli hospitals? There are 36 hospitals in Gaza, many of which are run by foreign nations (Indonesia, Turkey, Jordan, European countries) serving a population of around 2 million.
Of course, hospitals in Gaza are dual-purpose buildings, offering both healthcare and camouflage for the entrances to Hamas's elaborate subterranean infrastructure. An IDF spokesman said that "Hamas systematically built the Indonesian Hospital to disguise its underground terror infrastructure." The Al-Shifa hospital, where IDF soldiers found a stash of rifles, ammunition, and ballistic vests, also sits atop a major tunnel junction. IDF soldiers recently found unopened boxes of medicine for Israeli hostages at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
If Gaza is a prison, Hamas is the jailer.

The New Zealand Problem
Sometimes you can see the issue that will light the gymternet on fire a mile away before anyone has even seen the smoke. And sometimes that fire had always existed.
In gymnastics one of the paths to qualification at the Olympics goes to the single highest all around placement at each continental championship from a country that did not qualify a team already. This is fairly straight forward in most places but gets dicey in one corner of the world. The Oceania Gymnastics Union is essentially a continental federation of 2 countries. Yes there are other members (Guam, Tonga, Fiji, Cook Islands, and America Samoa), but there are no elite gymnasts from those countries. Australia qualified a women's team to the Olympics, so by default that means a Kiwi WAG gets an Olympic spot. At least according to FIG. But they aren't the only ones who get to decide who is an Olympian.
I've talked about "No Olympic Tourist" Policies before, and people may have run into them in regard to Sweden and ice skating, but many small to medium sized countries have policies to limit the size of their own Olympic teams for budget reasons. These national Olympic committees (NOC) set criteria that are higher than the general qualification rules for a given sport. Sweden's is often considered the most extreme (you have to show you are in the top eight in the world, meaning you can make an Olympic final and contend for a medal. The reason they're called No Olympic Tourist Policies is because you wont be sent to the Olympics just to be there.
New Zealand has had a No Olympic Tourist Policy for decades, and while their criteria is less extreme then Sweden's it works similarly. You have to convince the NZOC that you are within the top 16 in the world (the ability to make a semifinal in athletics or swimming where races are 8 lanes wide). In 2012 Jordan Rae was one of the last gymnasts to qualify at the London Test Event, but NZOC turned down her spot and it passed on to Đỗ Thị Ngân Thương of Vietnam who finished behind her and who went on to compete in London.
In this interview from 2016, Rhythmic gymnast Tanya Moss-Barry who represented New Zealand in Los Angeles describes how initially they believed that New Zealand would send no gymnasts to the Olympics that year. Only a top 8 finish at an event in Tokyo convinced the NZOC to send her, and she believes it was at the expense of equally deserving WAG and MAG gymnasts. They would send only one of them.
It appears that Courtney McGregor was sent to Rio on the basis of her vaulting competitiveness. Which itself suggests that the people making the decisions at the NZOC don't really know much about gymnastics. McGregor came in 4th on vault at the Rio test event and 17th at 2015 Worlds. But as anyone who knows gymnastics knows... vault fields are much smaller than other apparatus and a finish in the teens doesn't mean you are as competitive as one on the other apparatus. But more power to them if they were able to get the Olympic committee to send her on that basis.
So the problem for 2024.
The WAG Olympic Qualification road has handed an Olympic spot to New Zealand by default. There are no other elite gymnasts in the region it can go to and no mechanism for that spot to be reallocated to anyone outside of Oceania. And based on the results from Worlds it is highly doubtful that the NZOC will consider either Madeleine Marshall (93rd in the AA and 110th on beam) or Reece Cobb (102nd in the AA and 56th on beam) to be competitive. Courtney McGregor is making a comeback but without competing elite in years I'm not sure how she makes that case either.
Georgia-Rose Brown recently changed countries from Australia to New Zealand but she almost certainly is banking on making an argument for her competitiveness based on her bars results (she came in 4th and 5th on bars at two World Cups in 2023). Maybe the people making a choice at NZOC wont know that 2023 World Cups aren't evidence of competitiveness. Her best bars result of the entire quad would have put her in 22nd on bars at 2023 Worlds. If she qualifies here is to hoping she can make a case. But it does raise the question of if she knew about the NZOC policy before changing countries or if she saw the automatic NZ WAG qualification spot as an opportunity and didn't realize there was an extra step. I have to believe she went into it knowing though. The NZOC is pretty well known in Kiwi circles.
So what happens to this spot if it goes to a Kiwi and the NZOC turns it down? Well... that's not clear. It could go unfilled. Or FIG could ask the IOC permission to let them revert it to the Worlds AA results as Australia's team means that Oceania already had representation.
Or some smart cookie NCAA gymnast with ties to Guam or Fiji could make a country change REAL soon and find themselves at the Olympics with a relatively easy path.

Jack Hyde All-Character Tournament: Quarterfinals, Seed 4
Milo Bronte (Not Just Us)
Milo is a "demon" - that is, a human who happens to have some demon-like qualities, such as reddish skin, horns, and claws. Unlike a lot of people like him, Milo doesn't bother to alter or hide these aspects of his appearance. He doesn't wear makeup or file down his horns. More relevantly to his story, Milo is also what is known in his futuristic dystopia as a "financial terrorist", i.e. a thief. He robs the rich and gives to the poor, many of whom live in an underground extra-societal community. He doesn't just steal money, though - he also finds and liberates information on the corporations and CEOs that own everything and everyone. He is considered a supervillain due to his "demonic" strength and the severity of his crimes. He has a fun little homoerotic nemesis-ship going with Kenshin Mechado, happily playing the flirtatious Catwoman to Ken's snarky Batman, until such time as he can fully seduce Ken to the right side.
Genre: Political Comedy Designation: Anti-Hero and Love Interest Quick Facts: 8ft tall including the horns, Autistic, tourist chic
VERSUS
Asher Adam (Any Publicity Is Good Publicity)
Asher is the frontman of the punk duo ION. He is forthright and blunt to a fault, in part because he's autistic and in part because he's just kind of a cunt - and proud of it. He is the lead vocalist and guitar player for ION, but he also plays flute and violin, which he and his other band member and brother Jordan sometimes creatively incorporate into their music. Ash is also the primary lyricist for the band. He writes a scathing and very direct track lambasting politician Gwaine Hinata, which quickly makes news and brings Gwaine himself to a show. When he spots Gwaine in the audience, Asher gets off stage to perform the song right in Gwaine's face. Ash has a typical Tragic Backstory. He is a double amputee from surviving a terrible car crash. His right arm and leg were irreparably crushed by debris when he crawled back into the wreckage to rescue Jordan. Now, he uses avant garde fashion prostheses to announce ION's new albums and match his body to the cover art.
Genre: Romantic Comedy Designation: Main Character Quick Facts: trans, gay, Jewish, Alabaman with the accent to prove it

We've noted previously that the Waqf tourist guides to the Temple Mount from the 1920s through 1950 freely admitted that the Dome of the Rock was built on the spot of the two Jewish Temples. Now the updated editions of the Waqf guide explicitly denies any Jewish connection to the Mount.
But a new photo book of the Temple Mount, "The Noble Sanctuary Book," has just been released and it was clearly made with the blessings of the Jordanian government and the Waqf, which granted the photographer Bashar Tabbah access to places not open to the public. The introduction was written by a member of Jordan's royal family.
The historical section of the book was written by an American archaeologist, Dr. Robert Schick. And his description indicates that the Temples were indeed on that site - and he brings proof from the Quran:
Tumblr media
There is a little wiggle room there to say that it is possible that the Temples were elsewhere in Jerusalem, and it looks like Schick tried to thread the needle between honesty and the desires of the Jordanians. But his wording "Other verses associated with the Masjid al-Aqsa compound" immediately after the Quranic reference to the Temples makes it clear that the book says that the Quran is referring to the Temples on the Temple Mount.
Before anyone heard of Palestinians, this was not a controversial position. Many Muslim scholars over the centuries knew that the entire reason the Dome of the Rock was built where it was is because it was the site of the Temples and they wanted to build something that would approach the majesty of the originals. However, the official position changed in the 1950s and 60s, culminating in explicit Temple denial by Yasir Arafat at Camp David.

⧙  Bar Harbor has been open for a month and a half to tourists when an explosion rocks the island. Another body has been found and the truth of there being something amiss is revealed to residents and tourists alike. Read below to learn what happened to Nancy Elsher.
It is 2 A.M. on the island and all is quiet with residents and tourists settling in for the night. Closer to Main Street, the church bells ring to signal the time before being replaced by the sounds of crashing shore waves once more. Long time resident, Nancy Elsher, known to take late night walks with her dog, nears the church when she hears a strange sound; it sounds like singing, coming from inside the church. Weird. Even weirder, it isn’t singing. In fact, Nancy’s not even sure what language it is that she hears when she gets closer – she only knows that her normally sweet dog is acting more and more oddly with each step they take. She decides to call the police, just in case, but as the phone rings, the chanting stops… 
followed by the explosion deep inside the church that sends Nancy and her dog flying backwards.
The Earth shakes, letting out a wicked groan. Some store fronts are destroyed in the blast and scattered car alarms blare. Nancy opens her eyes where she lays to see the cloaked figure towering above her, expression seemingly gone from it’s features. She only sees it’s jet black eyes staring down at her before her eyes close.
𝐸𝑁𝑇𝐸𝑅 𝑇𝐻𝐸 𝑁𝑂𝑆𝑌 𝑃𝐸𝐸𝑅𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝐸𝑌𝐸𝑆,​
Elsewhere on the island, people either heard the explosion or felt it – even as far as the Acadia National Park on the other side of the island. As they start to investigate it, there’s no way for police or the FBI to hide it now at such a massive scale and some of the first arrivers to the scene besides law enforcement, see not only the destruction of the church tower housing the bells but Nancy Elsher laying dead in the street, exposed. Some who managed to get closer see the symbols etched in her flesh before being shooed away, told to go back to their homes and wait for news. After all, it’s not safe on the street. There could be another explosion and it’s not safe to be near the crime scene area at this time.
In Acadia National Park, the werewolves stir and the hairs on the backs of their necks stand up. Something is coming and they can feel it in the not so subtle change of the air. Their worries come true when one spots a hand reaching out of the water of Jordan Pond; the first time in centuries, mind you. When the winged figure pulls itself out of the water, a mischievous laugh fills the air.
𝑆𝑂𝑀𝐸𝑇𝐻𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝑊𝐼𝐶𝐾𝐸𝐷 𝐻𝐴𝑆 𝐶𝑂𝑀𝐸 𝑇𝑂 𝐵𝐴𝑅 𝐻𝐴𝑅𝐵𝑂𝑅.
Tumblr media
The first plot has dropped, revealing that the Jordan Pond is a portal to none other than fairies. While some are good, some are also bad and quite mischievous in nature. When the bell tower was destroyed in the explosion, the Jordan Pond portal reawakened once more. The following day, a new ferry brings another group of tourists but officials refuse to allow anyone to leave the island now that the truth of the murder, of the newest one anyway, is out.
Tumblr media
With that, the first plot drop of the group is here. A mini task that should be tagged with sunkenhq.task can be filled out in character, if you'd like them to participate in being a character to discover the body. Otherwise, you can have your characters react in character on the dash !
𝐖𝐇���𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑❜𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐓𝐎 𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐘 𝐄𝐋𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐑?: Nancy was a longtime resident of Bar Harbor so were they neighbors? Was she nosy and steal their mail? Did they chat daily? Did they meet when coming to the island? You can go as big or as little as you'd like.
𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘? 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐅 𝐒𝐎❟ 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐎 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍?: You can see the symbols HERE.

Unveiling Sharm El Sheikh: The Ultimate Travel Guide
Tumblr media
Explore Egypt’s Premier Red Sea Resort Destination
Sharm El Sheikh, an enchanting resort town on the Red Sea coast, has long been a favorite among tourists seeking both adventure and relaxation. Known for its picturesque beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and luxurious amenities, Sharm El Sheikh offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Here’s everything you need to know about planning a trip to this stunning destination.
Where is Sharm El Sheikh Located?
Situated at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh lies along the coast of the Red Sea. This prime location makes it a gateway to some of the most breathtaking underwater environments and desert landscapes. The city is roughly 500 kilometers from Cairo, making it a convenient spot for both international visitors and those traveling from within Egypt.
Top Attractions and Activities in Sharm El Sheikh
Diving and Snorkeling Paradise
The waters surrounding Sharm El Sheikh are teeming with marine life, making it a top destination for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. The Ras Mohammed National Park is a renowned marine reserve offering spectacular dive sites. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or a beginner, the clear waters and abundant sea life provide an unforgettable experience.
Beautiful Beaches and Resorts
Sharm El Sheikh boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Egypt. Naama Bay, with its golden sands and clear waters, is perfect for swimming and sunbathing. The bay is also lined with luxurious resorts that offer world-class amenities, ensuring a comfortable and indulgent stay. Many resorts feature private beaches, swimming pools, and fine dining options, catering to all your vacation needs.
Desert Adventures
The surrounding Sinai desert offers plenty of opportunities for adventure. From quad biking and camel riding to jeep safaris, there’s no shortage of ways to explore the rugged terrain. The stunning desert landscapes, combined with the thrill of adventure, make these excursions a must-do for any visitor.
Cultural and Historical Sites
While Sharm El Sheikh is primarily known for its natural beauty and recreational activities, it also offers access to several cultural and historical sites. A visit to St. Catherine’s Monastery, located at the foot of Mount Sinai, provides a fascinating glimpse into the region’s religious history. For a truly unique experience, consider a day trip to the ancient city of Petra in Jordan.
Best Time to Visit Sharm El Sheikh
The ideal time to visit Sharm El Sheikh is during the cooler months from October to April. During this period, the temperatures are more comfortable for outdoor activities and exploring the beaches. While the summer months can be very hot, the sea breeze often makes it bearable for those who don’t mind the heat.

Domestic flights from Cairo and other Egyptian cities are also frequent and convenient. Alternatively, there are bus services that connect Sharm El Sheikh with Cairo, offering a scenic route through the Sinai Peninsula.
Practical Travel Tips
Currency and Payments: The local currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP). While credit cards are widely accepted in larger establishments, it’s advisable to carry some cash for smaller transactions.

The Ultimate Guide to When to Visit
Jordan, a captivating nation in the Middle East, boasts ancient cities carved into rock, breathtaking coastlines, and historical treasures waiting to be explored. But to experience Jordan at its finest, timing your trip is crucial. This guide delves into the unique charm of each season, helping you pick the perfect time for your Jordanian adventure.
Tumblr media
Climate Considerations
Jordan's climate varies significantly throughout the year. Here's a breakdown of the key seasons:
* Spring (March-May): Widely considered the ideal time to visit. Enjoy comfortable daytime temperatures (20-30°C) ideal for exploring Petra and other historical sites. Spring also boasts vibrant wildflower blooms, painting the landscape in a kaleidoscope of colors.
* Summer (June-August): Brace yourself for scorching temperatures, often exceeding 40°C, especially in desert regions. While Aqaba Jordan time on the Red Sea offers a reprieve with cooler breezes, intense heat can make extended outdoor activities challenging.
* Autumn (September-November): A welcome respite from summer's heat, autumn offers pleasant temperatures (25-30°C) perfect for outdoor activities. The Red Sea remains warm for swimming and diving, while tourist crowds begin to thin.
* Winter (December-February): Winters can be chilly, with temperatures dropping below freezing at night in some areas. While it's a good time for exploring cities and indoor attractions, some outdoor adventures might be less enjoyable due to the cold.
Aqaba: Your Oasis Awaits 
Aqaba, Jordan's coastal gem, offers a distinct climate compared to the rest of the country. As of today, Aqaba experiences comfortable daytime temperatures, making it an attractive year-round destination. However, for the most enjoyable time for water activities like snorkeling or diving, autumn (September-November) is ideal, with warm sea temperatures and comfortable air.
Picking the Perfect Month
Finding the ideal balance between weather, crowds, and costs can be tricky. Here's a suggestion:
* April: Often considered the sweet spot, April boasts sunny skies and comfortable temperatures (in the 70s-80s°F) perfect for exploration. You might even catch the tail end of the spring wildflowers! Expect slightly more crowds compared to winter, but still manageable before the peak summer rush.
Planning Your Jordanian Escape
Ready to embark on your Jordanian adventure? Here are some helpful tips:
* Peak Season (Spring/Fall): Book accommodations and tours well in advance, especially for popular destinations like Petra. Consider arriving early at tourist hotspots to avoid crowds.
* Off-Pack Season (Summer/Winter): Pack accordingly for the season's demands. During summer, prioritize loose, breathable clothing, while winter necessitates warm layers. Maintain flexibility in your itinerary in case of unexpected weather events.
