Maha's family must seek shelter!

After her husband had to flee with his ill father, Maha Ibrahim found herself alone in tending to her children. In the midst of unceasing violence, she has had to meet the demands for food, shelter, and medical attention for 7-year old Joan and 5-year old Khalil. Now, they must evacuate, as the IOF continues its attacks.

Maha was able to afford Joan's most recent medical appointment, her gastric bypass. Thank you to everyone who provided their donations, shared the post, and mentioned other accounts for reach! Let's continue the support and keep Maha and her family safe!

As of May 14, 2025, 7:08 PM EST, the campaign has raised €31,973. Shelter rent is $2,500 USD a month, but Maha can pay a deposit of $250 USD right away. We must raise €32,196 as soon as possible!

€223 left to raise!

Tagging for reach! Let me know if you'd like to be untagged! Thank you for reading!

Oh would it be a good idea to post panels of the VHD Message from Mars Graphic Novel? I feel like everyone should see the art and get a glimpse into something that wasn't accessible to the fans. It ended up being a Kickstarter that some didn't know about or couldn't afford. I'm fortunate to have gotten my hands on one.

MESSAGE FROM MARS

aaaauuuu i really like magical girl anime

Okay so I'm finally starting the second Dune book and the introduction states that people disliked it when it came out because it subverted Dune's 'classic hero story'??? And maybe it's just because I first read the book as an adult, but I felt like even the first book was shouting from the rafters that it is very intentionally criticizing that type of story.

Like, the only reason Paul is seen as prophecised hero is because the Bene Gesserit intentionally seeded planets with made up prophecies so that they could one day, if they ever needed to, get the people under their sway. He is completely manufactured- and that whole shebang is not presented in a good light. It's basically an out and out criticism of colonialism.

I mean, the entire novel (to me) feels like direct response to Burroughs' Barsoom series, basically upending the idea of the epic hero taking his place as king of the native people of that planet by explicitly telling the reader that it was all manufactured from the start, and that actually, at some future date, he will destroy the very people he is now claiming to want to help. Like - his final vision does not show a bright or happy future, the book ends of a very dark note.

It makes me excited for the second book that these themes are obviously going to be more present, but I am a bit taken aback that people didn't realize them in the first book at the time.
