lxc having the #1 Hot Guy Ranking is kind of funny? Like, he's such a sweetie that he's ignoring all of the people making googoo eyes at him? and lwj is staring down anyone that looks like they might try anthing (except nmj).

Jiang Fengmian, several years pre-canon: I want that boy as my son-in-law. :(

Nie Huangyin, watching a tiny NMJ eating snacks with LXC and JYL: I totally get where you're coming from, but that divine honor was destined for me. 😌

Jiang Fengmian: What?

Nie Huangyin, playing dumb: What??

*twenty years later*

Lan Wangji, to the general public: "I will separate your heads from your shoulders if you even think about trying anything with my Xiongzhang."

Lan Wangji, re: Nie Mingjue: "Why in heaven's name is Chifeng-zun not even thinking about trying anything with my Xiongzhang???" >:(((

astro notes 11th house 🪩

The 11th house is a fascinating area in astrology, representing various aspects of social life, friendships, and aspirations. It's associated with friends, peers, social activists, humanitarians, philanthropists, inventors, forecasters, visionaries, leaders, community organizers, trendsetters, and the communities we belong to. Unlike the 3rd house, where friendships may be more about communication and less significant in social life, 11th house friendships are characterized by shared goals and interests, representing deeper and more meaningful connections.

Financial gains and money made from our career are also linked to the 11th house, showing us how to gain or attain wealth through our professional endeavors. This house is about community, friendships, groups, clubs, ideals, hope, volunteering, companions, wishes, charity, adopted children, step-children, humanitarian work, society, humanity, teamwork, social circles, personal aspirations, social media, networking, innovation, activism, technology, equity, rebellion, originality, liberation, futurism, and allies.

In terms of religious or spiritual connotations, the 11th house has been associated with fellowship and gathering in the house of God, symbolizing the bonds of friendship and community within religious or spiritual contexts. It's seen as a house of good luck, free people, friends, and friendship, embodying hope, love, and happiness.

The 11th house is also linked to the concept of freedom, which shares the same root as friendship, indicating that relational freedom is about interconnectedness, mutual support, care, and facing the world together. Friendship, therefore, is seen as a root of freedom, emphasizing the importance of intimate, interdependent relationships in shaping our sense of freedom and connection to others.

As the house of gains, hopes, wishes, and desires, the 11th house influences our interest in social activities and reflects our aspirations for the future. It represents our acquaintances, well-wishers, and the support networks we rely on. The 11th house is also associated with science, socialization, clubs, organizations, and parties, reflecting our social interactions and engagement with society at large.

Overall, the 11th house is a dynamic area of the chart that speaks to our social life, friendships, aspirations, and sense of community. It encourages us to cultivate meaningful connections, embrace diversity, and work towards common goals with others. follow for more astro insights like this and support me over on instagram @sensualnoire or yt @quenysefields

I really appreciate Gulool Ja Ja as a ruler, a father, and a hero in his own right. There were concerns about why the Scions, as outsiders, would be participating in a contest of succession, and everything we learn about Gulool Ja Ja's younger years, and his reasons for the Rite of Succession, neatly addresses that.

As a much younger man, Dad^2 traveled the lands of Tural with his own diverse group of comrades, from all races and walks of life. From Kettenramm as the foreigner, to Cahciua the long-lived Shetona wilderness expert, to Pelupelu and Yok Huy, to Hanu and Xbraal; especially given the animosity between some of those clans at that time.

And along the way, Gulool Ja Ja learned how much stronger they were together. Alone he is a formidable champion, but even Blessed Siblings can't do it all. He also learned about the diverse peoples and cultures of his homeland. It's not so far off from the Warrior of Light's journey; traveling with competent heroic companions as we adventured through the 3 Continents and lands beyond them for so long, loving people and places we found along the way.

But Gulool Ja Ja also became Dawnservant, and now as his years catch up to him, a new ruler must be found. And it's in the conversation after dueling the WoL that he bluntly states his reasoning, speaking to them as a peer:

Even this early in the contest, you must have realized…As potential rulers, all four claimants are lacking. This is why I elected to hold the rite of succession─not to choose a fitting candidate, but to cultivate one. And if no one has impressed me by the end of it, then to no one will I yield my throne. As a parent, I pray that my children rise to the occasion…With outsiders dragged into my game, I am also hopeful that the different perspectives you and your companions have to offer will inspire them to grow. I imagine you in particular have traveled many lands. Known many peoples and cultures─loved them and been loved in turn. Guide Lamaty'i as you think best. Walk at her side and, when needed, push her to walk ahead. Watch over her, champion. Koana's recruits are no less sharp─as one might expect of Galuf's countrymen. They saw the flaws in our claimants from the outset. The other two, though… They dismiss comrades willing to point out their shortcomings, and no good can come of it…

Emphasis mine.

We see this too, in the interludes to Team Second Promise, as Thancred and Urianger turn on their own Dad Skills and gently guide Koana toward his own realization: that innovation is all well and good, but so is taking into account the traditions and needs of his people. As he watches his sister's growth, and how the people love and trust her to respect their ways of life, to help them because it's the right thing to do.

And Wuk Lamat learns and grows, gaining confidence, learning when to rely on her comrades, how and when to face a challenge on her own. The Wuk Lamat after level 96 is a different woman than the girl we met in Sharlayan. She's not done growing and learning, not in so short a time, but the cultivation Gulool Ja Ja put in place succeeds in her and Koana--because they are willing to learn, and listen, and love.

The other two claimants, as Dad^2 noted, don't understand the reasons for the Rite, for the methods the electors choose, or what the Dawnservant is looking for. And they refuse to entertain perspectives that would attempt to point that out, surrounded by sycophants and cronies.

Bakool Ja Ja doesn't learn the same lessons, though he comes around; he was never shown kindness and understanding, never asked what HE wanted, until Wuk Lamat demands he say it out loud. His growth is a surprising one, and along a trajectory he could never have imagined.

And Zarool Ja...his arc is a negative one, and a tragedy of his own making. He works as an antagonist because his fall is entirely avoidable, but utterly inevitable. It didn't have to be this way, yet there's no other way it could go. He internalized all the pressure and potential, all the comparisons, until it ate him alive.

This is a story about the complicated politics and demands of leading countries, of there being no easy answer to peace even when you wish there was. But it's more a story about family, and legacy, and honoring the past while striving to build a better future.

The Warrior of Light sees their own story reflected in Gulool Ja Ja's history, and in the shaping of Wuk Lamat. To fulfill their love of adventure and exploration, but from a new perspective. And taking all that experience and skill and applying it in a slightly different way, though perhaps not so different from some previous side and job quests where we help others and introduce them to friends so they can continue to grow and help themselves after WoL's moved on.

Hydaelyn's brave little spark has long been a beacon of hope for others to follow. As inheritor to the Shepherd of the Stars, the WoL takes steps toward shaping their legacy, still an active participant, but also seeing how those other stars might shine, and like Gulool Ja Ja, finding that some of those stars need a nudge to find their own glowing potential.

Uttara Phalguni

The twelfth nakshatra

Degrees: from 26°40' Leo zodiac to 10 °00' of Virgo zodiac

The ruler of nakshatra: Sun (sans. Surya)

Nakshatra's guna: rajas (human)

Uttara Phalguni keywords: leadership, creativity, responsibility, sociability, nurturing, ambition, contracts, comfort-seeking, social responsibility, diplomacy, artistic flair, generosity, warm-heartedness, harmonious partnerships, critical thinking, realistic life approach (Virgo's influence)

Symbol: a bed ( especially rear marriage bed and bed legs) or a hammock, representing relaxation, enjoyment, and union

Uttara Phalguni's deity is Aryaman, one of the Adityas*, associated with contracts, unions, and agreements. Aryaman signifies the bond between people and the responsibilities in relationships.

(*In the Hindu pantheon, the Adityas are a group of deities, often depicted as the sons of the solar goddess Aditi. They are divine creatures associated with various aspects of nature and celestial phenomena. Among the most notable Adityas there are Surya (the Sun god), Varuna (the god of water and oceans), Mitra (the god of friendship and contracts), Aryaman (the god of contracts and unions), and others)).

Uttara Phalguni in various planets

Sun in Uttara Phalguni: brings strong leadership qualities, creativity, and warmth, making individuals suitable for roles that require authority and inspiration. They excel in leadership positions, such as CEOs or team leaders, where they can confidently lead others towards success. Their natural talents fit in fields like art, design, or entertainment, where they can express themselves with originality and flair. However, they may need to guard against tendencies towards dominance or ego issues, ensuring they maintain humility and openness to feedback and criticism. their warmth and generosity, impatience and need for recognition can sometimes pose challenges, requiring them to cultivate patience and inner security. Education, event planning, or hospitality professions align well with their nurturing and supportive nature, allowing them to create welcoming environments and inspire others.

Moon in Uttara Phalguni: Following a Moon in Magha's royal placement and a Moon in Purva Phalguni's creative mindset, Moon in Uttara Phalguni indicates a tendency towards diligence and executing plans. With its span extending into Virgo, this Moon is known for analysis and perfectionism, and individuals may display analytical prowess and a penchant for precision. Proficiency in negotiations and deals is likely, with potential career paths in finance or law, albeit requiring substantial effort to ascend. They exhibit a pragmatic outlook on life, possibly perceived as astute or shrewd by others. While those on the Leo side may aspire for authority through diligent effort, those on the Virgo side are driven solely by the pursuit of perfection. However, the Virgo influence may also foster a sense of facing more challenges compared to others. This diligent and perfectionist streak is often inherited from the mother.

Mars in Uttara Phalguni: infuses individuals with passionate energy, drive, and a strong sense of duty. They possess a competitive spirit and are determined to achieve their goals through hard work and perseverance. Their leadership qualities shine through as they take charge and inspire others with their enthusiasm and charisma. With a focus on creative expression and innovation, they excel in fields that require dynamic problem-solving and strategic thinking, such as entrepreneurship, engineering, or sports management. However, they may need to temper their assertiveness and impatience at times, learning to channel their energy constructively and collaborate effectively with others.

Mercury in Uttara Phalguni: imbues individuals with strong communication skills, a sharp intellect, and a nurturing disposition. They excel in negotiating and mediating conflicts, often finding balanced solutions that benefit all parties involved. With a creative flair and a love for beauty, they may pursue careers in fields such as writing, design, or the arts, where they can express themselves effectively. Their warm-hearted nature and diplomatic approach make them valuable team members and mentors, fostering supportive and harmonious relationships in their personal and professional lives. However, they may need to guard against being overly critical or perfectionistic, learning to balance their analytical abilities with empathy and understanding.

Jupiter in Uttara Phalguni: bestows individuals with a generous spirit, wisdom, and a sense of justice. They possess a natural inclination towards supporting and uplifting others, often taking on roles as mentors, teachers, or counsellors where they can share their knowledge and guidance. Their expansive vision and optimism drive them to pursue noble causes and humanitarian efforts, seeking to create positive change in their communities. With a strong moral compass, they uphold principles of fairness and integrity in all their endeavours. Jupiter's influence here also enhances their leadership abilities, as they inspire trust and confidence in others through their benevolent and inclusive approach. However, they may need to guard against becoming overly idealistic or self-righteous, remembering to stay grounded and practical in their pursuits.

Venus in Uttara Phalguni: signifies a fusion of commitment, generosity, and a sense of responsibility especially within relationships (including spousal). Individuals are passionate about socializing, unions, friendships and relationships. With a magnetic charisma and a knack for diplomacy, they excel in roles that require interpersonal skills, such as counselling, event planning, or customer service. However, they may need to guard against tendencies towards indulgence or superficiality, ensuring that they maintain balance and discernment in their pursuits of pleasure and comfort. Venus in Uttara Phalguni individuals generally radiate grace and elegance, bringing harmony and joy to both their personal and professional lives.

Saturn in Uttara Phalguni: grants individuals a strong sense of responsibility, discipline, and practicality. They approach life with a structured mindset, preferring order and stability in their endeavours. Patient and persevering, they are willing to invest the necessary time and effort to achieve their goals. Their diligent work ethic and attention to detail make them reliable and dependable, often excelling in roles that require precision and methodical planning. However, they may need to guard against tendencies towards rigidity or pessimism (the nature of nakshatra's ruler Sun is opposite to the nature of Saturn), learning to embrace flexibility and adaptability when faced with change or uncertainty.

Rahu in Uttara Phalguni: brings a unique blend of energies, often associated with desires for recognition, ambition, and creativity. Individuals with this placement may possess a strong drive to achieve success and attain status in their chosen endeavours. They may be drawn to roles that allow them to shine in the spotlight, such as performing arts, politics, or leadership positions. However, there can also be a tendency towards self-centeredness or manipulation in the pursuit of their goals. They need to cultivate humility and integrity, balancing their ambition with consideration for others. Rahu's influence here can enhance their creative talents and innovative thinking, but they may need to guard against impulsiveness or overindulgence.

Ketu in Uttara Phalguni: indicates an individual with a strong sense of duty and responsibility, often drawn towards serving others or contributing to the community. These individuals may have a deep inner wisdom and a spiritual outlook on life, seeking to find meaning and purpose beyond material pursuits. They may struggle with feelings of isolation or a sense of being misunderstood by others. It's important for them to cultivate self-awareness and inner peace, embracing their unique perspective while also remaining open to connecting with others on a deeper level. Good placement for scholars, occult science, astrology, and astronomy. An individual might become a clerk, stenographer, typist, computer operator or governmental servant.

It’s so strange to me seeing people bend over backwards to try claiming that there’s absolutely no connection between TLOU2’s setting and the Israel-Palestine conflict. Like, I absolutely love The Last Of Us from the bottom of my heart, those games and characters will stay with me for the rest of my life, but also it’s just like so clear from any angle that Seattle’s war between the Seraphites and the WLF is just Druckmann’s “progressive liberal” zionist view of the irl occupation.

Like, on the one hand you’ve got the WLF (IDF/Israel), who are clearly criticized as being overly militarized and doing a bit too much torture and dehumanization, but they’re also super diverse and queer-friendly, and they’re very accepting of various different faiths and religions while still being overall pretty secular (this isn’t just me speculating btw, as you pass by you’ll listen to various WLF npcs openly talking about their faith and sexuality). They’ve got a fucked up leadership/governance under their angry ruler Isaac, but they’re good people as individuals, they’re just caught up in a cycle of revenge/violence. They’re mostly made up of people who were oppressed (by FEDRA) before staging an uprising and revolting to take back their land, which they lovingly cultivate and make use of innovative modern technology to make their world better. It’s a perfect metaphor for Israel to a Zionist who truly thinks that he has a nuanced view of a country he loves.

And then you’ve got the Seraphites (Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims), an angry backwards religious cult that hates progress and queerness and religious freedom, it’s members all brainwashed and worshipping a powerful prophet who proved her worth by performing miracles to win military victories for the cause. All of their children either become child soldiers or child brides for the elders. They hate using technology or anything from the modern world, their backwards culture holds them back and makes them socially/militarily weak. They enact violent lynchings against any poor WLF soldier that crosses their path. Besides Lev and Yara, they are a monolith, a people who exist as violent enemies to slaughter or as brainwashed masses to be pitied as they are massacred. Again, a perfect metaphor for both Islam and Palestinians to a man who has only ever seen both groups through the eyes of Israeli propaganda.

Notably, there is of course no apartheid, no checkpoints, no forced migration by one group or another in the history of the conflict (which we slowly learn through notes and diaries and letters scattered throughout the game). The WLF did not slaughter Seraphites in order to steal their homes, did not take their land and murder their families, nor did they force the Seraphites into concentration camps. The WLF has not been policing the Seraphites’ crops, has not been seizing their funds or resources, or poisoning their wells. The Seraphites aren’t trying to reclaim their stolen land or get the boot of the WLF off their neck. There is no actual ongoing reason for the war, the only reason the Seraphites are still fighting is to “get vengeance” and “kill the degenerate Wolves” rather than to live freely, because Druckmann sees this as the root of the Palestinian cause. To him, Palestinians are not fighting because they’re oppressed by Israel but because they hate Israeli culture and Judaism, and because they can’t just let bygones be bygones (the “bygones” in this case being ethnic cleansing). To him, Israel isn’t oppressing Palestinians and profiting off their suffering, Israel is just fighting back against antisemitism and maybe going too far to protect itself.

In the game, both sides were hurt by FEDRA, and then after the WLF defeated FEDRA, the Seraphites randomly pushed into the suburbs to terrorize the citizens there, causing them to rush to join the WLF. From then on both sides in tandem kept attacking and thus escalating conflicts into more and more violence. There is no oppression, no power differential, one side is not living in the forcibly abandoned houses of the other. There is no reason for conflict, only the meaningless violence that would immediately end if we could all just get along and stop trading completely equal blows.

The conflict ends on an uncertain note that nauseatingly mirrors the current reality. After escalating conflicts, the WLF launches a violent all-out attack on the largest Seraphite base, their island, wiping out most of the Seraphites, razing their fields and crops, slaughtering their children, and burning down almost everything the Seraphites spent decades building. The WLF in turn have lost much of their military force, but their homes and their children seem blissfully unharmed at the end of this. The future is uncertain, but it seems that the WLF/IOF is the “winner”. And it’s all very tragic to Druckmann of course, the dead Scars/Arabs are a very sad thing that could have been avoided if everyone just listened and relaxed. Material oppression doesn’t matter, and this could all just be solved by having integrated schools or whatever.

iterator headcanon masterpost !

i have been cultivating my own little special iterator interpretation while designing them , and i've never quite told anyone about all my headcanons , so i'm making this post :D

i may come back to this to add onto it if i think of more stuff / refine the headcanons i'm unsure of , so check back at this post sometime if you want :)

iterators are divided into three loosely defined generations ;

generation one , the very beginnings of iterator technology

gen 1 iterators are few and far between , with the ancients only starting to dabble into this kind of technology . they're characterized by simpler puppets and usually older superstructure tech .

gen 1 iterators are also separated into 2 vague sub-categories — early gen 1 , and late gen 1 . early gen 1 iterators are the very first proper iterators to have been built , sporting various flaws and design oversights that were later fixed in late gen 1 iterators . the two don't have many differences other than this .

most , if not all group seniors are gen 1 iterators . looks to the moon is early gen 1 , and sliver of straw is late gen 1 .

generation two , during the mass production era

gen 2 iterators are the most common type of iterator , around the time the ancients grew confident in their iterator models and began to experiment . they have the most in-generation variation , a lot of them built with specific modifications and more complex designs .

most gen 2 iterators were built with a secondary purpose in mind , one to improve the ancients' quality of life in some way . things like mathematics , bioengineering , medical help , and sometimes even art . though they still have the main purpose of solving the great problem , some gen 2 iterators chose to instead focus on their secondary purpose more .

no significant harassment , seven red suns , and chasing wind are gen 2 . no significant harassment is a scientific calculator with a built-in graphing tool . i haven't thought of secondary purposes for the other two yet .

generation three , the moments before global ascension

gen 3 iterators are less common than gen 2 iterators , but still outnumber gen 1 iterators . they are incredibly streamlined from thousands of cycles of innovation , but their puppet designs remain relatively simple .

the ancients returned from their burst of creativity to once again make iterators for the sake of iterating alone . at this point , they were getting impatient from the lack of a solution . gen 3 iterators were built with the sole purpose of trying to crack the great problem , with little thought put into anything else .

five pebbles and unparalleled innocence are gen 3 .

iterators have one main color which acts as that iterator's ID . the color is always present on various parts of the iterator , such as their overseers and inspectors , their puppet's eyes , as well as the decor on their puppet's earpieces and antennae . this color is used in broadcast transcripts as well , and most puppets also feature this color in other aspects of their design .

there are more iterators out there than distinct identification colors , so some iterators are bound to end up with very similar colors . extra care is taken to make sure no iterators with similar color IDs have the same name acronym , for the sake of being able to tell apart between them . iterators with similar color IDs are also usually placed far apart , for the convenience of having a unique color for every iterator in a local group .

these IDs are usually stored in hex codes , and are often vibrant and / or colorful . iterators with white , black , or gray IDs are incredibly rare , and gray IDs especially are discouraged . i'm still tweaking around the colors for a lot of my iterator designs , but i can tell you the color IDs of the ones that do have solid designs ;

no significant harassment — #A0FC94

seven red suns — #E11F11

dark tides ( oc ) — #7B506B

red haze ( oc ) — #C68E9B

basically , my interpretation of this room in metropolis ;

despite the distance , the communities living atop iterators are just as connected as the iterators themselves . trade routes are established between cities , communication towers are used to let citizens talk to each other , and their cultures are somewhat intertwined . but , most importantly , a city can communicate to other iterators just as well as it can communicate with their home iterator .

you see those networks of dots and lines on the screens ? those are maps of all the scattered iterators . select one of these nodes — which , in my interpretation , are colored based on the corresponding iterator's color ID — and you will send a communication request for that iterator to respond to . the iterator can choose to accept the request or to block it if they're busy , but a select few special ancients are able to force a transmission in case of emergencies .

there are other faster methods for ancients to contact foreign iterators that don't require directly interfacing with them via a screen , so these screens aren't used very frequently . these screens can be used to contact the home iterator too , who is always highlighted with a simple 'you are here' mark .

multiple different cities can connect to the same iterator at the same time . likewise , multiple different iterators can connect to the same city at the same time . both of these allow for mass transmissions or group meetings for both ancients and iterators .

more to be added !

Pluto: Represents transformation, power, and the ability to manifest through the process of deep psychological change and the release of limiting beliefs. Integrating Pluto into your manifestation practice involves confronting your fears, letting go of what no longer serves you, and embracing the transformative power of your desires.

Focus on embodying the qualities and energies associated with these elements through your thoughts, emotions, actions, and spiritual practices.

For example, if your 2nd house is strongly aspected, you might focus on cultivating a sense of self-worth and abundance through affirmations, gratitude practices, and financial management. If your Venus is well-placed, you might create a vision board filled with images of beauty, love, and harmonious relationships to attract more of these qualities into your life.

Remember that manifestation is a holistic process that involves aligning your inner world with your outer reality. By working with the astrological elements that resonate with your unique birth chart and desires, you can tap into the power of the cosmos to co-create the life of your dreams.

𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟷 → 𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟸 → 𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟹

Disclaimer: please read this before you go choosing one pile as I don’t want triggered people raging on my replies🥴.

Everyone has their own definition of “hidden enemy”, but I will explain mine (according to the knowledge I’ve gathered. I’m not making anything up here) since this reading was not done with the intention to raise suspicion/fear on people. A hidden enemy is no other than the projection of your shadow. It’s not something/someone to be afraid of, but another chance life gives you to learn more about yourself. Your hidden enemy describes your worst traits and whatever you can't stand to look at. It could have the face of anyone like your mother’s, the letterman's or your own. 

I’m famous for not sugarcoating things in the readings I’ve provided so far, but I described things below how I saw/felt them and I can tell some of those scenarios are anything but pleasant and you might not like to hear about it. Don't force yourself to, please.

Remember to take what resonates and leave what does not.   

𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟷

Your hidden enemy is… 

Your crave for power and having absolute control over everything going around you. I sense you have turned greedy in a new sort of way, as if you couldn't get enough of something (money aside). You are abusing one of your resources, squeezing all the juice you can without realizing you’re getting close to shedding the last drop. Running out of the lemons that life provided you with last time is a problem… especially if you didn’t work wisely to cultivate your own citrics.

You’re so caught up with your current mindset that you are unable to listen to your worried loved ones, while you remain committed to an already lost cause. Some think you've lost your mind and that you are on the defensive, even though you are yet to bite someone’s head off. It’s your behavior or most recent course of action telling on you instead.

Your peers have decided to put a prudent distance between them and yourself since they have foreseen your downfall and they don’t know how you would react after your loss. They’re not being mean to you on purpose, it’s a matter of self-preservation plus they’re giving you the space you actually need to put the pieces together on this process. They will get back to you if you open up to them and let yourself be guided. 

If you have a professional partnership or you are the leader of a work group, this connection or project is falling apart and the others have decided to leave, but you continue to resist change. You are loyal to your beliefs and do not give up easily in the face of adversity, but even though you have the weapons and willpower of a champion, you are not fighting the right battle and that’s why you’re meant to lose. The real challenge is on hiatus, waiting to be noticed by you. It’s so small in comparison to what you’re putting up with now that no wonder you’ve overlooked it altogether. The Divine asks you to open your eyes and listen to what others have to tell you. Surrender to the plans the Universe has for you and to the change.

𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟸

Your hidden enemy is… 

The amount of pressure you put on yourself in order to achieve your goals and the tendency to play the victim you have. I'll be honest with you, blows are coming from all directions. I see people demanding explanations or paybacks from you, the rate of inflation is messing with your business or your economy in general, and deadlines are around the corner. As if all I just mentioned wasn’t enough, you happen to be a bit of a masochist by picking up the first stick you spotted on the floor and now you’ve started beating yourself up. Please, stop!

This is not all your responsibility, pile 2. I see that you had the best intentions in mind when you wanted to carry a certain plan out, perhaps it was launching your business or moving to your dream place/country. But logistics can fail too and weeping as you self-loathe yourself won’t get you anywhere, but delay resolution for your personal conflicts.

For a group of this pile it has nothing to do with money, but timing. You gotta be patient and wait for things to detangle on their own. Do what you can to support yourself on the meantime or it’s your call to execute the B plan. You don’t have any? Then it is time for waking the magician that lives within you up and start designing a new strategy. Do justice to yourself! Please don't lose faith in your dreams.

Dear pile 3, you’re not the best nor the worst among the three piles I channeled for this collective reading, but I see you’re going for some deep transformation that would allow you to heal your mind and spirit. I hope you can stop mistreating yourself soon, and please don’t take my words to heart as I’m saying this with much love.

Your hidden enemy is… 

YOURSELF and how poorly you think of your own skills. You’re feeling energetic and “balanced” some days but you’re an overthinker, pessimistic and overall mess the rest of the month. The only hell you’re living in is from your head. You lament the things you cannot have, when it is you who lacks the courage to go for them. Whatever you want is not far from reach, but you are afraid to stretch your hand and snatch it. You are terrified of your own success and being happy, for some it means being with the love of their life or achieving their goals.

You are like a still pendulum, in eternal waiting to be swung to some direction when you’re light enough to do it yourself. You’re a luminous being and prodigy as Jesus, but the moment you started looking down on your skills and dreams, you turned into Judas the traitor. I apologize once again if you find that my words are too strong, but these are the exact messages I am receiving. Sooner or later you will realize this or if you keep refusing “to see”, an external force could force you to face your fears.

Your mind became a labyrinth with each of your former ideas or projects tossed around. Although a bit confusing, this scenery simply shows how truly brilliant you are! Soon you will have the opportunity to pick up an idea or start over with a stable project. Good luck, darling.

CYNTHIA MILLER-IDRISS'S "HATE IN THE HOMELAND" IS $7.49 IN THE PRINCETON 75% OFF SALE.

I HAVE BEEN TELLING Y'ALL TO READ IT FOR A WHILE NOW AND NOW YOU HAVE EVEN MORE INCENTIVE TO

Hate crimes. Misinformation and conspiracy theories. Foiled white-supremacist plots. The signs of growing far-right extremism are all around us, and communities across America and around the globe are struggling to understand how so many people are being radicalized and why they are increasingly attracted to violent movements. Hate in the Homeland shows how tomorrow’s far-right nationalists are being recruited in surprising places, from college campuses and mixed martial arts gyms to clothing stores, online gaming chat rooms, and YouTube cooking channels.

Instead of focusing on the how and why of far-right radicalization, Cynthia Miller-Idriss seeks answers in the physical and virtual spaces where hate is cultivated. Where does the far right do its recruiting? When do young people encounter extremist messaging in their everyday lives? Miller-Idriss shows how far-right groups are swelling their ranks and developing their cultural, intellectual, and financial capacities in a variety of mainstream settings. She demonstrates how young people on the margins of our communities are targeted in these settings, and how the path to radicalization is a nuanced process of moving in and out of far-right scenes throughout adolescence and adulthood.

Hate in the Homeland is essential for understanding the tactics and underlying ideas of modern far-right extremism. This eye-opening book takes readers into the mainstream places and spaces where today’s far right is engaging and ensnaring young people, and reveals innovative strategies we can use to combat extremist radicalization.

The Guardian

Aug. 8, 2023

The Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has vowed to haul the Amazon out of centuries of violence, economic “plundering” and environmental devastation and into “a new Amazon dream”, at the start of a major regional summit on the world’s largest rainforest.

Addressing South American leaders gathered in the Brazilian city of Belém, Lula offered a bold blueprint for the future of the Amazon, a 6.7m sq km region that is home to nearly 50 million people spread across eight countries and one territory.

The Brazilian leftist promised to repair his country’s environmental and international reputation after four “disastrous” years under his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, during which the rainforest and Indigenous communities came under growing attack. “Thankfully … we have managed to turn this sad page in our history,” said Lula, who took power in January after thwarting Bolsonaro’s re-election plans.

Lula pledged to promote an ambitious model for the rainforest region – 60% of which lies within Brazil – in which environmental protection was accompanied by desperately needed social inclusion, economic growth and technological innovation.

“The rainforest is neither a void that needs occupying nor a treasure trove to be looted. It is a flowerbed of possibilities that must be cultivated,” Lula told the audience, which included the presidents of fellow Amazon nations Bolivia, Colombia and Peru, as well as the prime minister of Guyana and Venezuela’s vice-president.

Pledging to achieve zero deforestation by 2030, Lula said: “The Amazon can be whatever we want it to be: an Amazon with greener cities, with cleaner air, with mercury-free rivers and forests that are left standing; an Amazon with food on the table, dignified jobs and public services that are available to all; an Amazon with healthier children, well-received migrants [and] Indigenous people who are respected … This is our Amazon dream.”

Indigenous communities demand greater change as Amazon rainforest summit begins – video

The comments came at the start of a rare two-day meeting of the eight-member Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (Acto), which Lula called as part of efforts to reposition Brazil on the world stage as a key player in the fight against the climate crisis.

Among the issues being discussed at Acto’s first such meeting in 14 years were a possible deal to halt deforestation by 2030 and joint efforts to fight rampant illegal mining and organised crime groups that are tightening their grip on the rainforest region. Colombia’s president, Gustavo Petro, has been pushing for an end to oil and gas exploration in the Amazon, although Brazilian moves to develop an oilfield near the mouth of the Amazon River complicate those efforts.

Petro used his intervention to call for the creation of “an Amazonian Nato” under which regional military would join forces to protect the jungle, about 6% of which lies within Colombia’s borders.

“You defend life with reason – but also with weapons,” he said, also proposing a “Marshall Plan” to pump resources into Amazon protection and a specialised Amazonian court to punish crimes against the biome.

Dina Boluarte, the president of Peru, home to about 11% of the Amazon, also urged action to preserve a rainforest that “isn’t just the lungs of the world – it’s the heart of the world”.

“We must act now. There is no time to lose,” said Boluarte, who was making her first trip abroad since Peru was gripped by protests after she took power last December.

After hours of talks, a joint Acto communique, called the Belém Declaration, was published, calling for increased police and intelligence collaboration to fight illegal activities and environmental crime as well as human rights violations against Indigenous people and activists. It said a law enforcement centre would be opened in the Brazilian city of Manaus to promote cooperation among regional police forces.

The 113-point text also urged greater efforts to slash deforestation and promote sustainable development in the region. However, the document fell short of many expectations for failing to include a common goal of zero deforestation by 2030.

Marcio Astrini, the executive secretary of the Climate Observatory group, said he had mixed feelings about a declaration that was weaker than many environmentalists had hoped for.

“It’s a first step. It was important for [these leaders] to come together but there isn’t much concrete in there. It’s a list of very generic promises. It was lacking something more forceful,” Astrini said.

“We’re living in a world which is melting. We are breaking temperature records all the time. How can it be that in a 22-page declaration the presidents of eight Amazon countries can’t clearly state that deforestation needs to stop?”

[potchatok-art]

Sutviprra seem to be going at a steady rate, but for you and me to see the full picture, we must travel to the south, across the equator, to another continent. It has different plants and animals, though some are recognized. 22 million years ago, a flock of peculiar creatures started entering and exploring new arid climate zone. These are Australisapters, descendants of flyers who abandoned the skyes and settled this land. They still have the wings, though shortened. This particular species travels in groups - they are generalist foragers, who mostly dig in the underbrush. They designate a sentinel, who for now abandones food but looks out for predators. In cases of emergency, indicated by vocalizations, they must either escape to the treetops or group up and puff up, intimidating the intruder into walking away. As, with millions of passing generations, they adapt for their environment, short wings transform into heat-regulating structures, which incidentally have some prehensile capability.

Descendants of these creatures would colonize the steppes, deserts and jungles, and as the continent moves, mountain ranges rise, also available to them. Rocky environments provide protection from most predators, but also by itself are very tricky, difficult to forage and navigate, requiring complex resource management, planning and cooperation from the ancestors of Strikell. Difficult environment and frequent volcanic winters cultivate the spesies with a great sophont potential. Above all else, they are adapted to think - jaws and scent receptors shrunk as a result of cephalization, the neck is no longer capable of perpetually supporting the head, and the brain eats up much of a creature's energy. They also have specific adaptations for communication. From the ancestors they still preserve a very articulated vocalization apparatus, capable of producing almost any sound on a medium volume, as well as creating far traveling songs for long range communication, though with less variety. Also, what once were konards on a flying tetraptera, now became flags for mood communication. With that, they also developed cacadu like crests to assist in emotional expression.

Their second adaptation is climbing - their legs are proportionately long, with paws having retractable claws, capable of getting a grip on any vertical surface. With that, they also have their “hands” - once those were wings, then heatshedding structure. But it’s skeletal structure allows them to rotate in many directions, and the “fingers” at the ends are very dexterous. So, these hands became adapted to assist in climbing and tool use. In the begining, their routine is travaling from high elevation to the jungles below, aquering food and traveling back to escape predators. For the most part, mountains are a good shelter - most megafauna carnivores could not enter the mountains. Hazards to look out for are either predator birds, from which hiding is the option to escape and cougar-like raptors, against which mobbing, shouting and throwing stones mostly works. Mountains by itself are a dull environment without much to eat, so during their expedition they not only eat, but collect fruits, plants and small prey for later, keeping it in volven baskets. Baskets are also helpful with egg storage - while Strikell are ovoviviparous, in a healthy state laying the egg just before the hatching, but even this could mean from several hours to days of caring for an egg, not to mention any various hormonal missfireings or stress responses, which can cause an early laying. Coming of global cooling made jungle resources more scarce, starting up fierce interspecies competition. Bigger groups chase off every other family, depriving them of food. The exiled individuals have to find another way to forage. Restricted to mountains, with desert on the one side of the mountains and aggressive adversary to the other side, only those, who can innovate survive. Using the mountain range as a cover and as a railway, shelter from competition and desert heat, several sophont species colonized southern, more temperate territories, desert rivers, and even return to jungles and savannas, once they discover fire.
