Is someone were to start watching dimention 20 . What series(?) would you reccomend n where ?

omg omg okay okay so i'd say there are so many different routes you can take depending on what genre you like!! this is truly so hard omg. i can start off by saying most seasons are on a subscription service called dropout which is the only subscription service i will be paying for in my life (unless you're counting a patreon as a subscription service), but they also have a youtube where they've released a couple full seasons.

i'm putting Escape From The Bloodkeep at the top because a) Villainous Found Family, b) free on youtube, and c) there's an NPC named J'er'em'ih. It's a Lord of the Rings knockoff from the perspective of the villains who are dorks and also queer. Found family to the max and so many bits.

i will be crunching this post because it is LONG! genres galore!

if you want Drama: A Crown of Candy is a Game of Thrones/Candy Land mashup. The Ravening War is the prequel. Both of them have a nonzero chance of making you cry and Do have permanent deaths. A Court of Fey and Flowers is the other drama but it's. queer Bridgerton with fairies. no angst many flowers and there's LETTER WRITING and a RUMOR PHASE

Coming Of Age: Fantasy High Freshman Year, Sophomore Year, Junior Year, and The Seven. While I think t7 is higher in quality than Freshman Year, you do need FY for context. either way, both feel as realistic as an adventuring school can be to an actual coming of age story.

Misfits and Magic is also a Coming of Age and an homage and just. a fabulous piece in general which I think is a GREAT introduction (if you have dropout)! it's a group of people going "how much can we poke fun at jk rowlings books bc we grew up on those but we Don't Like Her and actually her system is trash?" it's a smaller cast using the kids on brooms system, and, once again, it's queer and coming of age and found family. there's a wet cat of a man if that's what you need in your life.

Horror Seasons: Neverafter and Burrow's End are the two Overtly Horror seasons and they both pull it off very well. Neverafter is found family. Burrow's End is a literal family (of stoats) (not anthropomorphized, just plain stoats). they're Good Horror.

The Unsleeping City (Part I) is also very good. only filmed media that's made me cry. i can't speak to part ii specifically because i did not vibe with the virtual filming style. i got dropout because of Pirates of Leviathan, but i had the context of s1 and s2 of fantasy high so. idk man. is this coherent?

romance: Shriek Week and A Court of Fey and Flowers. Monster dating sim and Fairy Bridgerton. i'm not a dating sim person so i couldn't really do shriek week but ACOFAF. Man. That season.

Mystery: Mentopolis. I cannot tell you how much I loved Mentopolis. such a good season. Hank Green is there. Mike Trapp (creator of J'er'em'ih) is there. It's truly just tropes tropes tropes. everything is a pun.

Mentopolis also fits under action, which is what I would put Coffin Run under as well. Coffin Run my beloved. 2 vampires a wannabe-vampire and a jewish-old-man-who-misses-his-wife walk into dracula's castle and go. "hey we're your favorites, right?"

i'm so sorry. i hope this helped. i really love this show man. there's very few seasons i couldn't finish and 20 seasons out right now (the 21st is coming out every wednesday starting last week) and while there are MORE seasons like A Starstruck Odyssey (scifi comedy, 10/10 no notes) this is a long post to say. TLDR: you gotta know what style of show you like. my friend and i both watch it but she REFUSES to watch fantasy high and i can't stomach A Crown of Candy but we still both watch other seasons.

Canary Mission, an antisemitism watchdog group, has made headlines since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war for its work exposing groups and individuals that support the Palestinian terror group and express hatred for the Jewish state.

Critics have accused Canary Mission of what they call unfair “doxing,” or publicizing information about a person or organization without their consent. However, that has not stopped the watchdog from calling out a wide range of entities for allegedly antisemitic behavior and spreading hateful ideology throughout North America, especially on college campuses.

The organization, which operates anonymously, spoke to The Algemeiner about its work since Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre in southern Israel. To stay anonymous and protect the safety of staff, the group did not attribute its remarks to a specific individual.

Since the outbreak of the war, Canary Mission has been working on what it calls four “significant” developments.

“First, there has been a sharp escalation in global antisemitism, both in frequency and severity,” a representative said. “We are no longer discussing simple breaches of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. Discourse has alarmingly shifted to overt expressions of hate, including endorsements of Hamas’ violence against Jews, coupled with a stark indifference to the suffering of kidnapped, raped, and murdered Jews.”

Antisemitic incidents have skyrocketed globally since the Hamas atrocities of Oct. 7. Most recently, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported a 360 percent surge in such incidents over the past three months, with about two-thirds directly related to the Israel-Hamas war.

“Second,” Canary Mission continued, “antisemites on the left and right seem even more willing to work with each other in their common cause against Jews and Israel.”

“Third, a bipartisan consensus has emerged with a clear recognition of the extreme antisemitism fostered within the anti-Israel movement,” the group added.

Lastly, Canary Mission addressed the presidents of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) refusing to say at a congressional hearing last month that calling for the genocide of Jews would violate their schools’ codes of conduct against bullying and harassment.

“Fourth, despite the dismal failure of Harvard, UPenn, and MIT leadership to condemn calls for the genocide against Jews, there have been some positive campus developments,” the watchdog said. “Several universities have finally understood that Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is essentially an incubator for hatred and have taken action against them.”

Some schools have banned or suspended SJP chapters, which have orchestrated pro-Hamas demonstrations on campuses across the US, for violating school rules.

Over the past three months, Canary Mission has, among other projects, linked US Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) to fundraisers with Hamas ties, profiled dozens of signatories of a letter denouncing Israel just one day after the Oct. 7 massacre, and exposed the organizers of a recent rally in Philadelphia that targeted a local Jewish restaurant for having a history of backing Hamas and calling for the destruction of Israel.

“Our support has significantly grown since the war began,” Canary Mission said. “The traffic to our website has substantially increased, reflecting the heightened interest in our cause … Our new support comes from across the political spectrum from individuals and organizations who understand the danger and hatred Jews are facing. Naturally, we have also received plenty of threats and abuse from neo-Nazis and anti-Israel activists alike.”

Canary Mission described its work as necessary and “far from finished” in combating “unfounded hatred towards Jews and the Jewish state.”

“Since our inception in 2015, Canary Mission has stood as a vigilant watchdog against antisemitism, with a particular focus on the spread of antisemitism in academic institutions,” the group said. “From UPenn to Harvard, our findings reveal an unsettling reality that has been simmering in American academia for years … Our work is comprehensive. We highlight instances of antisemitism across the political landscape and refuse to ignore or excuse it regardless of its source. The profiles we create are not just records but tools that hold individuals accountable for their words and actions. In doing so, we create lasting consequences for those who propagate hate against Jews and Israel.”

Canary Mission dismissed criticism that it’s doxing, saying it does not release any personal information such as home addresses, emails, or phone numbers. The watchdog added it “presents an individual’s words and actions. This enables the public to form their own opinion and decide on their own response to the content presented.”

Concluding, the group said, “Critics will continue to dislike the Canary Mission platform, and supporters will continue to recognize the vital importance of shining a light on anti-Jewish hatred during this difficult time in our history.”

“And a note to our critics: We are not going away — we have only just begun.”

Welp. Just lied about my religion for the first time in my life. Got a referral to a medical center that just happens to be part of a college that recently got a D from the ADL and for some reason as part of the initial call they asked if I had religious preference. I don't see how it could be remotely relevant to my treatment, but I said "no" since I don't think I want a doctor at this college to know before treating me.

Calling all students dealing with Jew-hated and anti-Israel bullshit on your campuses.

The law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher has teamed up with the ADL, Hillel International and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law to launch a legal helpline for students and teachers who experience antisemitism on campus.

If you've experienced antisemitic discrimination, intimidation, harassment, vandalism, or violence look up the Campus Antisemitism Legal Line

ADL for W please?

A = Affection(How affectionate are they with a s/o?)

They're affectionate for them. They may not go out of their way, and they may not be the most comfortable with PDA, but they will definitely showcase how much they adore you. They'll go at their own pace, but you'd never question if they love you or not.

D = Dream(What do they dream of doing with their s/o?)

Dreaming about their future isn't really something they do any longer. It's simply a way for them to get their hopes up and get crushed in the end... It's something that they refrain from doing, but that doesn't mean they don't dream about their possible future with you. They just don't talk about it all that much.

L = Love(When do they say they love you? How often do they say it? Do they prefer to say or show it?)

It'll take them quite a bit to actually say the words, but you might be able to tell how they feel well before they actually utter them. They will try to say it at least once a day, but it's not something they'll truly think about it because they usually showcase it more than they speak it.

[mariacallous]

Since the Israel-Hamas war began, Iran and its archipelago of proxies have steadily advanced a collective campaign against Israel and U.S. forces in the Middle East. That campaign—which has included Hezbollah’s strikes into northern Israel from Lebanon, the Houthis’ attempted blockade of shipping through the Red Sea from Yemen, and near-daily rocket attacks by Shiite militias on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria—has threatened to drag the United States into an expanding conflict. With its recent missile strikes on three neighboring states, Iran signaled a potential new phase in the evolving turmoil, one that seemingly inched the Middle East closer toward a regionwide war.

In those attacks, Iran was attempting to showcase its military strength and resolve. Yet, it also betrayed something else: Iran’s inherent weakness and strategic limitations.

On Jan. 16, using a combination of ballistic missiles and drones, Iran struck targets in Syria, Iraq, and Pakistan that its officials claimed had been associated with Israeli intelligence and anti-regime terrorist groups. The assaults were ostensibly in response to the suicide bombing attacks in the southern city of Kerman earlier this month, which killed at least 84 Iranians.

Although the Islamic State claimed responsibility for that carnage, which hit a crowd commemorating Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Maj. Gen. Qassem Suleimani, who had been assassinated in a U.S. drone missile strike four years earlier, Iranian officials also blamed Israel and the United States.

In its brazen response, the IRGC launched a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones that struck buildings in northwestern Syria, destroyed the villa of a prominent Kurdish businessman in Erbil, Iraq, who Iranian officials implied was an Israeli asset, and hit the mudbrick house of a Baluch family in the rural Pakistani town of Koh-e Sabz, which Iranian officials claimed was linked to the anti-regime Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice) terrorist group. The actions showcased Iran’s refined missile capabilities and underscored that Tehran could violate the sovereignty of neighboring states at will and free of meaningful consequence.

Although not much has been confirmed about the strikes in Syria, which hit a rebel-held area, Iraqi and Pakistani officials reported that the strikes in their countries hit family homes and killed at least six innocent civilians, including two young girls and an infant. For Iran’s leaders, the victims mattered less than the demonstration effect of the act. Iran’s choice of retaliation was designed to send a clear message to its enemies, and to Israel and the United States in particular: Any aggression against Iran will be met with quick and severe retaliation.

A willingness to respond to its enemies through missile attacks against neighboring states is something Iran has steadily showcased. In 2019, Iran struck Saudi Arabian oil facilities with cruise missiles and drones in retaliation for Riyadh’s support for the Trump administration’s pressure campaign on Iran. In 2022, in response to a series of sabotage attacks inside Iran linked to Israel, the IRGC launched a missile salvo that destroyed a Kurdish compound in Erbil that Iranian officials claimed had been used by Mossad to plan operations inside Iran.

More provocatively, Iran countered the assassination of Suleimani with a missile barrage against U.S. forces stationed at Iraq’s Ayn al-Assad air base in January 2020. That attack could have easily resulted in a shooting war with the United States, and had it not been for the mercurial decision-making of former President Donald Trump and the IRGC’s downing of Ukraine Air Flight 752 with an anti-air missile after mistaking it for a U.S. missile in the immediate aftermath of the attack, it may have. Yet, in all of those attacks—none of which were lethal, other than the downed flight—Iran incurred no military retaliation. The lack of responses emboldened Iran’s behavior and helped secure its policy of retaliation as a viable option.

Iran’s recent strikes were similarly designed to remind its foes that is has both the will and capabilities to escalate. Its missiles are accurate and can be deployed against targets anywhere in the region. Yet, while Iran may have succeeded in messaging resolve and ability, it did so by attacking straw men. Even though it blamed Israel and the United States for the suicide bombings in Kerman, it did not retaliate against either. And despite its vocal support for the people of the Gaza Strip, Iran did not attempt to use its military power for their benefit.

Instead, Iran fired ballistic missiles against isolated family homes—not military targets—in weak states. Iran chose actions against countries that it calculated would not seek to impose meaningful consequences or serious escalation.

Syria’s government did not acknowledge Iran’s attack, and because the missiles fell in rebel territory, it probably supported the effort. Iraq’s government, which is controlled by politicians close to Iran, was outwardly embarrassed and troubled by Iran’s actions and moved to take modest action by recalling its ambassador and issuing a diplomatic démarche in protest. However, because of Iran’s outsized influence among Iraq’s heavily armed Shiite militias and within Iraqi officialdom, Baghdad was in no place to do much more.

Pakistan was the only state in a position to reply to Iran’s aggression with anything other than words. Beyond withdrawing its ambassador from Tehran and barring Iran’s envoy from the country, Pakistan’s military promptly launched airstrikes against Baluch dissidents in Iran. But after matching Iran’s actions in a tit-for-tat exchange that killed at least 11 civilians and left smoking ruins in residential neighborhoods in both countries, Pakistan’s government issued a statement calling Iran a “brotherly” country and sought de-escalation. As Iran’s leaders assuredly predicted, Pakistan had no appetite to prolong hostilities, which meant that Iran’s actions were once again likely to escape significant ramifications.

Iran has therefore become adept at—but also reliant on—posturing for its deterrence. That is because, despite its military’s regional prominence, Iran lacks the power to take the fight to its enemies or clash with more powerful adversaries head-to-head. Even in the wars in Syria and Iraq, where the IRGC was heavily involved, Iran-led forces struggled in both conflicts until Russia and the United States intervened. It was under the umbrella of Russian air power that Iran-backed forces were able to turn the tide against Syria’s rebels, and it was the U.S.-led coalition (including Iraqi military and Kurdish forces) that was chiefly responsible for defeating the Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq.

Iran possesses impressive missile and drone capabilities, but those capabilities can only achieve so much. Relative to some of its neighbors, Iran’s air force is weak and relies on outmoded, Cold War era platforms such as the F-4 Phantom. Iran’s ground forces are more formidable, but they are strongest in defense and cannot easily take or hold territory beyond Iran’s borders.

Iran’s Shiite militia proxies are similarly limited. They are most effective when acting as insurgents in their home territories or as political spoilers. Unless they’re given a permissive environment in which to operate or backed by a more powerful foreign military force, such as in Syria, they are not adept at conventional operations. They can set up roadside bombs, fire mortars, launch missiles and drones, kidnap and kill local rivals, and engage in ambush attacks, but not much more.

Such tactics can still be effective, primarily because they are difficult for foreign state militaries to counter without committing to lasting campaigns and employing significant force. The effort waged by Shiite militias against U.S. forces in Syria and Iraq is a good example of this. Even though the United States has retaliated at times with limited strikes, it has been largely hesitant to respond to the more than 120 rocket attacks against U.S. forces conducted by Iran-backed militias since October. That is because there is no simple way to deal with those militias without fighting them directly, and doing so would not only drag the United States into another Middle East war, which would undoubtedly be unpopular in U.S. domestic politics—it would also jeopardize ongoing U.S. efforts against the Islamic State as well as relations with Iraq.

The Iraqi government’s response to a recent U.S. strike that killed a militia commander in Baghdad, which seeks to end the U.S. military presence in the country, is illustrative of the political sensitives limiting U.S. actions. The Houthis in Yemen are using a similar strategy in their attempt to blockade shipping through the Red Sea. Again, relying on missiles and drones, the Houthis are willing to tolerate limited blowback from the United States because they can reasonably assume that the United States doesn’t want to fight a war in Yemen, and therefore will not commit enough resources and firepower to meaningfully endanger the Houthis’ control of their home turf. The Houthis are willing to absorb some losses because they view that the political upside of their effort outweighs the risks.

The same is true for Iran and its other proxies, which is why they keep pushing. They hope to ensnare the United States in an unwinnable situation, one that may eventually prompt Washington to see more value in simply walking away from its military commitments in the region rather than obligating more resources to preserve the status quo.

Iran’s proxies can risk limited blowback from the United States and Israel because they have very little to lose. Iran, on the other hand, would have much more to lose if it were to spark a direct conflict with the United States or Israel. Iran could not, for example, replicate the Houthis’ shipping blockade effort in the Strait of Hormuz. It could try, but the risk of sparking direct escalation with the United States, much less the strain that it would place on relations with China and its neighbors, would present significant risk.

Seeking to reduce risk is why Iran outsources much of the violence to its clients—and why its clients have taken the lead in military action against foreign adversaries during the current crisis. Funneling its strategic activities through proxies keeps the fight away from Iran’s doorstep and allows others to absorb the costs.

In the present context, as Iran and its proxies attempt to assert themselves as the chief countervailing force against Israel and the United States, they have few cards to play. That is especially true in terms of military action, where they are mostly limited to standoff strikes. They can fire at targets from a long distance and use the threat of such as coercion with neighbors and foes, but Iran and its clients cannot do much more. They cannot take their war to Israel or liberate Palestine by force.

Instead, they are limited to conducting provocative acts in an attempt to shape the political environment. For Iran, such acts signal both what it can do and the limits of what it’s willing to do for its cause.

Laying the Foundation - Pt. 1 : Al'Rhaen - the (not so) "Empty Land"

I am a novice student in terms of organized and focused worldbuilding, given that the nature of the Antholgies setting's history, major characters, and functions are samplings of other works of fiction writing and fantasy that I have encountered over my cumulative years reading, playing games, and watching video content that even hints at such content. James D'Amato's writing in The Ultimate RPG Game Master's Worldbuilding Guide (which will be a consistent reference in this blog) specifically notes that, as it can relate to TTRPGs, the "Fantasy" Genre is generally conflated with the "sword and sorcery" subgenre with splashes into heroic, comic, and high fantasy, as appropriate for each individual group and as desired by each game master.

In that spirit of honing in on the particulars of ATSBs focus, my early prompts are going to include some of these questions, and their answers as they pertain to the current world-state of the main setting of the games and writing I have already put together:

Al'Rhaen (pronounced All-wren) is a continent that, at it's widest point, spans more than 3100 miles across. It is filled to the brim with creatures and environments as diverse as you would expect to find on any comparable landmass on earth. Pictured above is the westernmost half of the continent's landmass, and the location where a majority of the last few thousands of years of the setting's history take place.

It's most populous occupants are humans. Their numbers and diversity the result of a diaspora of survivors of a war that nearly sundered the land itself in an era beyond memory. In the millennia that followed, longstanding kingdoms and dynasties sometimes enduring multiple centuries came to power that that both cemented them as the dominant powerhouses in the present year of the setting: 1209 ADL. Despite human dominion being the norm, more than 20 different races of humanoid or quasi-humanoid cultures call this continent home. There are dwarves, elves, merfolk, minotaurs, cat-folk (think more Leonin than Tabaxi, if the D&D references help,) dragonborne and their diminutive cousins- kobolds, as well as goblinoids, orcs, true giants and their lesser giant-kin are scattered, clustered and sprinkled about the country-sides of the continent.

The broader scope I paint in the diversity of peoples on the continent however misses certain crucial details and leaves questions such as "How did x race arrive here?," "What are culture Y's specializations?," "What are the staple crops of the City of Z?" and more unanswered. Over the breadths and spans of time I have already painted and the minutae involved in running actual sessions and campaigns of TTRPGs leave such questions to best be answered within the context of the latter, as they are arguably fairly malleable for a setting over time. Important questions to start in on whittling down the excess of information into useable tools for worldbuilding they may be, but I want to stay in the broader perspective at the moment.

"Which landmark stands as a permanent reminder of a major event? Describe it." D'Amato demands.

Considering the spirit of these broad strokes, let's use the best tool cover the largest swaths of both the land and it's history. I will tell the tale of one of the arguably most impactful events of Aedosian Apocrypha and it's greatest scar: The Wyrmwar, the Peak of Asharadon's Fall, and the Grim Hollow.

Mentioned earlier was a war that tore into the heart of the land itself, there is no better evidence of the degree of the Wyrmwar's destruction than in Grim Hollow, a valley of obsidian cliffs and igneous rock ridges stretching more than a dozen square miles in area dominates the southern rise of a sinister mountaintop of granite topped by a spike of likely now cursed granite that was used to pierce through the very heart of the setting's eldest and first red dragon- Asharadon, First Among Tyrants- at the climax of a months long battle against his brother, Donaar, the Golden Sentinel. With both of these dragons having access to fiery breath as their main offensive weapon, their contest quickly became one of extended aerial and physical dominance. Donaar would come out as the victor in this battle, but not without great personal cost. Specifically in the minutes before the battle's end, Asharadon and Donaar flew nearly to the upper limits of the Aedosian sphere, where both dragons would have lost the use of their wings and began a death spiral during which Asharadon tore both of Donaar's wings from his back. Though the Sentinel survived, he would be forever changed by this battle, and the land he left behind bore similar scars.

The heat from their breath weapons during their final confrontation was so great, that the once larger mountaintop had not only lost it's usual ice cap, but had a whole fraction of it's regolith and bedrock melted into a field of lava that covered a small inland sea. Over time, the obsidian floor that formed at this lava field's base would crack and lead to the eventual resurgence of the sea there, only now broken by great pillars of jagged volcanic glass that for some mysterious reason refused to wear down any further. Adherents of the persuasion that the original ten dragons (referred hereafter as the Prime Draconic Dectariat, or Dectariat for short) were gods in their own right, claim these pillars are the Blood of Asharadon, and gather pieces of these pillars and the obsidian around this sea as strictly performed and monitored as a religious rite of passage and coming of age for dragon-kin, kobold or dragonborne alike from around the region. To the present day an eon later this tradition is still upheld by older, and sometimes more isolated sects of draconic culture.

[ppg-villains-defense-lawyer]

This just popped in my head, I’ve been re-listening to some classic Disney songs on Spotify and I’ve been rewatching Powerpuff Girls (1998) on Netflix.

This is my perspective of how each classic Disney Villain song fits to these famous PPG Villains:

Mojo Jojo: “Be Prepared”, The Lion King.

HIM: “Friends On The Other Side”, The Princess of the Frog.

Fuzzy Lumpkins: “Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-O,” Home on the Range.

Princess Morbucks: “Mine, Mine, Mine”, Pocahontas.

Sedusa: “Cruella de Vil”, 101 Dalmatians.

Gangreen Gang: “Junkyard Society Rag”, The Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp’s Adventure.

What do you think about that? 😈

I love these! :D Especially "Friends On The Other Side," "Be Prepared," and "Cruella de Vil."

I also really like "Why Should I Worry" for the Gangreen Gang (Ace especially) and "Perfect isn't Easy" for Princess, both from Oliver and Company. Though your suggestions are great too!

A Jewish civil rights nonprofit is launching a chapter in the state of Michigan in response to antisemitic incidents of vandalism at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in which someone graffitied swastikas and homophobic slurs on two off-campus a fraternity houses earlier this month.

EndJewHatred, which has successfully pushed for the establishment of “End Jew Hatred Day” in cities and localities across America, made the announcement on Tuesday, citing the need for on the ground personnel trained to react quickly to hate crimes targeting the Jewish community and Jewish institutions.

“The launch of #EndJewHatred movement in Michigan comes in response to a dramatic rise in threats of Jew-hatred over the past year, dangerously fermenting in the state,” EndJewHatred director of mobilization Adar Rubin said in a press release. “We seek to empower, strengthen, and unite the Jewish community on a grassroots level to fight back against bigotry while showing up to demand both direct action and consequence.”

On Friday, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor president Santa J. Ono said that the administration is aware of the vandalism of the fraternity houses and has asked the Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD) to investigate it.

The new EndJewHatred chapter will hold weekly meetings for setting an agenda and training new recruits. Its other activities will include local demonstrations, distribution of flyers raising awareness of antisemitism, and outreach to the local Jewish and non-Jewish community.

Michigan had the 9th most antisemitic incidents in the US in 2022, according to an annual audit issued in March by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). In December, a man from Dearborn was charged with ethnic intimidation after shouting “F*** the Jews” and “F*** Israel” at children attending the pre-school of Temple Beth El synagogue.

The problem has spilled into this year.

In June, a federal grand jury indicted 19-year-old Seann Pietila from Pickford, Michigan for allegedly threatening to commit a mass shooting and live stream it on social media. The charges followed an FBI search of his home on June 14 in which guns, knives, military style camouflage clothing, and a Nazi flag were found in his possession. In his iPhone, investigators found a note — dated March 15, 2024 — with the address of a synagogue in East Lansing, Michigan, a city roughly 270 miles south of Pickford.

In March, another Michigan man, Jack Carpenter, who allegedly threatened to kill Jewish state government officials was charged with transmitting interstate threats after tweeting that he would “carry out the punishment of death to anyone that is jewish [sic] in the Michigan govt [sic].” After the arrest, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) said the FBI confirmed that any act of violence would have targeted her.

Bisnis & Mesin Amal Jariyah

Belajar dari salah satu ilmu bisnis, gimana cara mengeluarkan effort kecil namun bisa dapat untung besar. Begitulah ibadah :)

Jangan disalah artikan dan di telan mentah2, ini bukan berarti kita ibadah sedikit tapi minta pahala besar.

Begini contohnya, di dunia bisnis ada yang namanya passive income. Misalnya kita punya kerjaan pokok (sebagai staff) lalu kita punya income sampingan (contoh : investasi ke bisnis keluarga). Tanpa kita terjun langsung di bisnis keluarga itu, kita tetap akan dapat uang dari hasil bisnis itu.

Begitupun ibadah, saat kita solat, puasa, baca quran misalnya, kita 'hanya' akan dapat pahala saat melakukan ibadah itu. Caranya dapat 'passive pahala' nya ibadah yaitu dg membuat mesin amal jariyah. Contohnya bikin masjid, sedekah al quran, bangun pesantren, dll yang pahala dari setiap orang yang memakainya akan terus mengalir ke kita, sekalipun saat kita tidur bahkan saat kita mati.

Ga punya Uang!

Mulailah dg yang kita punya!

Saat kita dititipi ilmu, ajarkan agar berguna utk orang lain. Misal ilmu masak, ilmu jahit, ilmu ngaji, ilmu2 bermanfaat yang lain. Ajarkan pada orang lain yang bisa memanfaatkannya juga utk hal baik. Untuk cari nafkah, untuk diajarkan lagi, dll

Pasti, setiap orang dititipi sesuatu oleh Allah yang bisa kita jadikan ladang untuk beramal jariyah ini. Kita hanya perlu mentadaburi nya fren :D.. Mencari dan menggali potensi yang Allah titipkan ke kita.

Balik lagi ke bisnis..

Saat kita ingin mulai berbisnis, niatkan bukan hanya untuk menumpuk cuan, bukan hanya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan, beli ini itu, tapi niatkan untuk kemaslahatan umat

Tidak salah saat kita ingin jadi orang kaya dan sukses, bisa beli ini itu, bahagiakan keluarga, tapi jangan jadikan itu sebagai niat. Karena itu hanyalah efek samping.

Kalau bisnis kita udah diniatkan untuk umat, untuk ibadah. Maka semua langkah yang ditempuh insyaallah akan terhitung pahala. Dan di ujungnya, saat bisnis semakin besar, Allah akam beri jalan untuk kita bisa membuat mesin2 amal jariyah, yang awalnya mungkin terlihat sulit bagi kita.

Bisnis itu dimulai, jangan dipikir

Perencanaan itu penting, tapi perencanaan tanpa aksi is nothing.

Kalau niat udah lurus, ada visi dan misi yang benar, Allah yang akan kasih jalan. Mulai aja, dan terus perbaiki sambil jalan.

Jangan malas untuk delegasikan pekerjaan

Salah satu yang bikin bisnis tumbuh adl dg mendelegasikan tugas ke tim yg kita punya. Hal yg memang ga mudah, apalagi untuk kita yang memulai bisnis dari awal dan semua dikerjakan sendiri. Kita pasti punya standar yg cukup baik dan tinggi, dan saat kita mendelegasikan nya ke orang lain, mungkin tidak bisa sebaik versi kita.

Inilah tantangan pebisnis sejati, bisa mengajarkan ilmu kita ke orang lain, agar kita tidak terpaku pada pekerjaan teknis dan bisa terus memikirkan ide2 baru untuk kemajuan usaha kita.

Takut di jiplak ilmunya, takut kabur timnya dan bikin usaha sendiri... Dan ketakutan lainnya

Maka kembali lagi ke niat, kalau niat kita baik, bukan hanya untuk kebaikan diri saja, insyaallah kuncinya percaya kalau Allah yang akan melindungi. Dan rezeki sudah ada yang atur kan.

Kalau ingin bisnis jadi besar, bangun supertim jangan jadi superman!

Kodpar slab! Creative is nothing
