This week's newsletter from AthensLive is out:   Every day life Christs
* Banning a far-right party ends up hurting democracy * The ever-ending Cavalry of patients in Greece * Does this world see now as ‘routine’ babies’ corpses in the Mediterranean?
- are the main headlines to be found inside this highly informative weekly must-read from and about Greece. The government's effort to ban a neonazi party is reported as detrimental to democracy itself. Critics say they were after the ban only to prevent loss of votes. Like their calvary due to insufficient disease, cancer patients who protested hospital shortages were harassed by ND MPs security guards. The brother of one of the train crash victims made a moving plea to boost a children's hospital in memory of his dead sibling. The floating body of a dead child was found off the shore of Syros Island. Shortly after, on the eve of Greek Easter, the PM defended the Evros Wall and a migration policy that caused so much death and suffering. 
It cannot be recommended strongly enough to read and share this week's updates on the events and developments in Greece here:

Peony Metaxas~
A nice young lady who works at the blood bank at Campanula Hospital~ She's kind of unreadable, and quite a lot of people find her kind of off-putting, she doesn't really understand why though.
A Beastling based on the Medical Leech (Hirudo medicinalis), chosen because I thought it'd be funny if a blood sucking animal was handling blood-related things~ Her last name, Metaxas, was also supposed to relate to leeches somehow, but I do not remember how and when I tried to look it up I just got a Greek military officer and a radio show host

Matt Gertz at MMFA:
Donald Trump’s flailing performance at Tuesday night’s debate triggered a multiday right-wing freakout at the ABC News moderators, punctuated by calls from the former president and his allies to target the network and its parent company with a regulatory crackdown, congressional investigation, and even prosecutions. It’s a dark preview of the authoritarian tactics they could use if Trump returns to the White House and carries out his stated desire to retaliate against news outlets whose coverage displeases him. Trump used Tuesday’s opportunity to address a massive national audience at the debate to spew nonsense incomprehensible to people who aren’t familiar with the deep lore of the right-wing fever swamps and repeatedly take the bait offered by Vice President Kamala Harris. The result was such a disaster for Trump’s campaign that he quickly��called off future debates.
Trump’s right-wing media allies reacted to his disastrous performance in real time by lashing out at ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, who fact-checked the former president on a handful of occasions. While debate moderators typically come in for criticism from pundits who take issue with how they handled the high-profile job, it is difficult to blame Muir or Davis for a candidate picking up a racist and false fourthhand internet rumor about Haitian immigrants in Ohio and declaring, “They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” Moreover, the right’s discussion quickly blew past mere critiques of ABC’s performance to far-reaching conspiracy theories about its purportedly corrupt behavior and calls for government retribution against the network. “Remove ABC’s broadcast license and criminally charge the moderators and executives for campaign finance fraud,” Sean Davis, CEO of the right-wing digital outlet The Federalist, declared on X the night of the debate. Trump himself began calling for the stripping of ABC’s broadcast license the following morning.
“ABC took a big hit last night,” he said in an interview on Fox News’ Fox & Friends. “I mean, to be honest, they're a news organization. They have to be licensed to do it. They ought to take away their license for the way they did that.” Trump’s remarks drew cheers from MAGA figures like Laura Loomer, who posted that “ABC News deserves to be INVESTIGATED.”
[...] Trump’s call for retribution has support from some Republican legislators. Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) said he would demand from ABC News and the Harris campaign “all correspondence, records, and potential coordination between the two parties ahead of Tuesday’s presidential debate,” while Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) is threatening to “re-examine the laws” he claims allow “the left’s near-complete domination of broadcast TV”. Meanwhile, Trumpists like Eric Metaxas and Hugh Hewitt are floating boycotts of ABC parent company Disney, and Mark Penn wants an independent review of ABC’s internal communications to assess whether the network was “rigging the outcome of this debate.”
The credibility of Trump’s call to strip ABC’s license is unclear. The Federal Communications Commission does not license broadcast networks — but it does license individual broadcast stations, including the eight owned and operated directly by ABC and the hundreds of additional affiliates. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, a Biden appointee, responded to Trump’s call by suggesting it runs afoul of the First Amendment, and Ajit Pai, her Trump-appointed predecessor, offered a similar response when Trump called for retaliation against NBC as president. That said, one of the goals of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is to ensure future Trump appointees are willing to prioritize his personal whims. Moreover, Trump’s eagerness to use such tactics to halt critical coverage — and the right’s support for them — is a dire sign for the future, even if the specific deployment of retaliatory FCC licensing decisions doesn’t work out.
The right-wing whining about ABC's moderating of the debate on Tuesday is part of their authoritarian war on the freedom of the press, especially if Donald Trump gets back in office.

Leah randomly decided to pray to the Talos statue which definitely confused me for a minute there. I didn't know they could do that on their own!

Writing share tag!
@fortunatetragedy tagged me just in time; I'm working on chapter 1 of The Siren and her Godking! Sirene and the Euphony Opera Company have just arrived on the island of Padena and are making their way through the capital of Viaserta.
“Does it smell good?” Daina comes up next to Sirene. Her long hair is tied in several intricate braids, and her brown skin is a shade darker than Sirene's. “I can smell some sort of frying dough.” “I smell lemons!” Sirene takes in another deep breath. “Padena is known for its fruits—grapes, pomegranates, lemons, and figs.” “Listen to you!” Daina elbows Sirene in the side and laughs, the lines creasing her face. “Did you do your research before we landed? I didn't see a library on the boat.” “I did a little research in Thessatraki,” Sirene admits with a blush. “Since it's my fault that we're moving to Padena, I wanted to know more about our new home.” Daina's jolly countenance falters, and her brows pucker. “Sirene, it's not your fault.” “We had to give up our touring schedule—” “And we've moved to paradise, with a contract paid for by the Godking of Padena themself! Sirene, I told you this was going to work out. And it could not have worked out better than it has.” Daina shifts the box in her arms so she has an arm free, which gently cups Sirene's cheek. “It's worth it. Promise me.” The worries that festered in Sirene's heart were smothered like a foul stench swept away by a fragrant wind. While it still lingered, it no longer rose to the ceiling of Sirene's lungs, threatening to suffocate her. She could breathe easier. “Thank you, Daina. I owe my life to you and Euphony.” The comforting hand turns into a gentle pinch. “You owe us nothing. Don’t give it another thought.”
