Mapping control in Syria at this exact moment of disarray is unrealistic, and any attempts are likely misleading. But here's our new map showing the last day of resistance before Assad's govt collapsed.

Concise summary of events and detailed timeline included.

Countries at war with Japan

n 1904, Montenegro declared war on Japan, the country that was nine thousand kilometers away from Cetinje, the Montenegrin capital. Unbelievable, but true! The Montenegrins declared war on Japan to support the Slavic brotherhood, namely Russia, which had entered the war with the Japanese. In this war Japan defeated Russia spectacularly and the Russians signed the capitulation and the war ended.

a collection of queer Palestinian stories in Gaza from queering the map.

Don't let pink washing get to your head. Queer people live everywhere, including in Gaza, where they are currently being massacred.

images are from the tiktok link i attached, there's even more there.

the thing with the teenage girl weirdness is that i would agree some stuff is very uncomfortable to read. but he’s trying to make you uncomfortable. that is something that comes across in his actual books but it’s not something he has figured out how to get across in this worldbuilding style he keeps trying out. which, that’s all his own fault im not even defending him on it im saying it sucks, there’s some good ideas especially when you really engage with it in the context of the circular storytelling of the whole series but the uncomfortable feeling you get about these characters come from a REALLY different place when you’re reading the actual story. i like a lot of the f&b characters and i am a twoiaf defender (yandel ELITE gyldayn my ENEMY) but nothing there can hold a candle to a single chapter from the pov of any woman in this series.

In a fic i won't start posting until vampfrin is at /least/ 90% done, I like this dialogue note I have for after Nille finds an amnesiac Sif and brings them home:

Bonnie: "can I name them?"

Nille: "THEY AIN'T A DOG"

Our Blue Hours - The Bulletin Board

In my inner eye I see the fic that I wrote so vividly, and I wish I had the time and artistic talent to draw literally every single "scene" in it, but alas I do not.

New chapter of my Ghost/König fic should be up now. (Read on ao3)

this was so fun to draw, especially considering I looked like the Pepe silvia meme while storyboarding the fic;

Silent Witness to a Vanishing Land

The weight of silence is heavy. A genocide is unfolding in Gaza, and the world is watching—some in horror, others in indifference, but most in silence. How is it possible that, in an age where information travels faster than light, where injustice can be exposed in real time, the response remains muted, the action absent? Palestine was once a whole country. A land with its own people, its own…

I have a cold, my eyes are watering, and I hate that this comes easy to me 😔

“Mh mh,” she hums in confirmation. He doesn’t need to know the details, or he might lose motivation to cooperate… or worse, ask questions. So she asks: “And you? Planning to go to sleep?”

Hector stammers an answer, but he’s not fluent enough yet. In time and with her help, Lenore is sure, he would feel right at home in Styria. So she forgives him when, placing his hammer on the forge and turning his body towards her, he switches to his native Greek: “Right now that you have come to see me? It would be rude. It’s getting easier, staying awake at night. Perhaps my time in the cell—”

He stops dead in his tracks. His heart skips a beat. Lenore cocks her head, intrigued by the split second of dread settling in his eyes.

“No, nevermind. I was already used to it when I served Dracula. I’ve been living with creatures of the night longer than I realized,” he smiles, eventually.

The poor thing. To think that her sisters were eager to let him suffer in that hole. But he’s not completely broken: Lenore has hope.

“Good boy, living the vampire life,” she purrs, walking to the nearest chair in her best posture. “Your German is getting better too.” That is only half a lie: she can’t expect a human to learn another language in a handful of weeks, but she is always one to praise effort. Maybe if Carmilla followed her advice, she wouldn’t have made a fool of herself. Then again, Lenore wouldn’t have met Hector, so perhaps she should be grateful for her sister’s stubbornness.

Clashes between India and Pakistan as of May 8th 2025

i think the other thing people dont understand about modded minecraft when complaining about how mojang is "lazy" is that playing a heavily modded minecraft is very equivalent to trying to cooperate with a very easily spooked horse that's first reaction to being startled is kill.

also sometimes you wake up and the horse is inside your bedroom. with no clear sign of how it got in there. you blink and its outside again.

ten billion years to get the debug mode of SF2 to work and it's this beautiful, zero context creep-ass screen.

Fucking. I have of course remembered where all my pre-collapse-of-my-self-esteem dragon age rpg notes are living.

Maybe I will look at them.
