I carry your breath in my hands like warm sun at dusk. Your laughter vines through my hair, roots growing into my heart - Patty Dickson Pieczka, "Autumn", Beyond the Moon's White Claw

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this from @jspark3000 , a hospital chaplain in Florida. He sums it up so perfectly.
People are dying and you are asking me to look away. People are dying and you are telling me that it's just too complicated for you to have an opinion on. People are dying and they are being called animals. People are dying and you are telling me that the Bible justifies the state of israel, actually, so it's fine.
I hold so much grief and pain and compassion for Israeli citizens now living in fear. I share anxiety and prayers and hope for hostages, and grief for innocent people who were massacred. But I cannot do that and then ignore the plight of Palestine. Not when people have been crying out in pain for decades. Not when a child dies every fifteen minutes. Not when families are being eradicated and settler violence is escalating without recourse. For the same reason that I grieve the victims of Hamas, I must side against the state of Israel and its history of oppression and violence!
I go to the wounded! I go to those fighting to survive! I go to those facing oppression!! I have no other choice! The Bible tells me to listen to those in pain, no matter who they are, and that means that I can hold compassion and dignity for people all over different parts of this conflict, while still understanding the inequity at play. When there is so, so much suffering and anguish, I cannot look away, no matter how much easier that would be! Acts 20:27 refuses to let us shrink away from the FULL council of God, no matter how difficult it becomes!
As long as I am alive, I must go to the wounded and the weeping. I go to my Christian siblings who are being persecuted in ways that most born and bread American Christians can't fathom. I have committed myself to peace making, different than peace keeping, and I cannot abandon that! Some analysts project that when this is all over, there will be no more Christians left in Gaza. I have no other option than to hold the people of Palestine and to continue to see them.
To follow this faith, you must have courage. Not only to do difficult things, but to challenge difficult thoughts. To engage in difficult conversations. To abandon neutrality when it is a tool of oppression. To hold complex realities without abandoning those who need you. To extend compassion and mercy farther than you can imagine possible. To listen when people cry out.
I go to the wounded, because I do not have the option not to. Palestine, you will never, ever walk alone. 🇵🇸

I HATE fireworks. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. They're horrible for the environment. They can start fires. A&Es are flooded with people who get hurt trying to set them off. It traumatises people like me who have C-PTSD that is set off by gunfire (thanks to living abroad in America for a few years, thanks America). Babies and the Elderly who struggle with noise are also affected, as are people who have disabilities set off by sound. It traumatises wildlife who cannot understand why there are explosions. It traumatises pets who cannot understand why their person is letting there be any explosions at all.
I HATE FIREWORKS. They absolutely ruin the autumn and Halloween for me, because every year, the stupid arseholes start setting them off every night a week before Halloween, and it continues until at least a week after Guy Fawkes. And then again the week of Christmas/New years.
I HATE FIREWORKS. Light shows are environmentally friendly, cause no disruption to wildlife or pets, are re-usable every year, and don't fucking explode for no reason.
DID I MENTION I HATE FIREWORKS

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐙𝐄-𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇 soothed the skin , for the wind itself was a most lithe and faithful companion. it feathered through thor's hair , curled around his shoulders in silk embrace , and nudged briskly at his feet before skipping through the budding leaves and shoots of grass.
overhead , it moved the very skies. trickles of moonlight bled silver through the speckled dusting and wisps of clouds. stars twinkled far past even them , glittering in some other star systems in a great beyond.
the wind was chatty this day. no doubt to thor that it spoke of faraway travels and the bumping ride across ocean tides. no doubt it carried upon it the tales from the stars beyond what thor could see , and here the god of storms stood , DEAF TO ITS SIREN CALL.
WHAT WOULD FATHER THINK OF THAT? thor mused , a bitter smile plucking at the edges of his lips. in an instant , it fell again. thor had no doubt his father would find the state of him outright disgraceful. absolutely detestable. it was one thing for ODIN ALL-FATHER to tap a branch of the all-force , and entirely another for the forces of another to swing an axe to it. though then , perhaps he would think it thor's own fault.
( though then , perhaps he would be right. )
sighing through his nose , thor cast his gaze from the tousled grass and the whispering canopy towards those distant stars , and wondered then : do you still watch over me now , father ?

so you know how the stamatis siblings each have something in common with one of the main antagonists? nica with emily, dimitri with oliver, and leon with ethan? there’s something i couldn’t help but notice.
leon’s parallels with ethan aren’t as meaningful as the others’. sure, leon and ethan have a lot in common, but the other dynamics actually have the characters compliment each other. like:
“oliver is kinda what dimitri would be like if he refused to give up chasing mysteries.”/“dimitri is kinda what oliver would be like if he gave up on his “empire”.”
“emily is kinda what nica would be like if she decided to keep hurting people in her anguish.”/”nica is kinda what emily would be like if she finally decided to stop hurting people in her anguish.”
ethan and leon’s characters gain nothing from each other aside from:
“leon is kinda what ethan would be like if he was good.”/”ethan is kinda what leon would be like if he was bad.”
we don’t actually know that much about ethan OR leon. so i’m thinking: if their parallels are going to strengthen from this point on, then maybe we’re about to learn more about them both as characters?
my actual point, though, is that nica and dimitri’s relationship with each other is ALSO reflected in their counterparts.
emily feels abandoned by ethan like nica does with dimitri/oliver is abandoning his family like dimitri abandons nica.
we don’t see anything like that with ethan and leon, either. ethan doesn’t seem to have any meaningful relationships at all, actually. (except with the robots.)
is it possible that we’re going to learn more about them, BOTH of them, by exploring ethan’s relationship with another character? and if so, who is this new character going to be a demonstrative reflection of? are they going to be new at all?
anyway. my guess is that we’re going to meet ethan’s version of michael.
