"The Wraith’s crew was made up of several experienced seafarers, including an ex-member of the Ravkan second army and two previously unrecruited Tidemakers from Northern Kerch. In addition, they are reported to have brought several prior captives onto their crew. They operated under the direction of Captain Inej Ghafa, with support from her first mate, Specht Willems.

Inej wasn’t sure what was more infuriating: That the report read like a eulogy, or that the wreck felt just as career-ending as the paper made it feel."

Or, old beginnings.

hello! friends, mutuals, followers, everyone! i don't know how to do this and i wish more than anything that i didn't have a reason to do it but i am officially desperate for help so here i am

my situation is this, last december my dad had a heart attack. he got along on meds for a while but last month he had another episode. he stayed at the hospital for a week, and he got a procedure (catheterization) done for 5.000 dollars. all our savings amounted to little more than a thousand, and the rest we had to borrow from four different family members. unfortunately, that procedure wasn't enough, it just showed that there's a very significant obstruction in his heart. the surgery he needs now (a coronary bypass) isn't even done in our city, we'll have to travel to another state and stay at least a week. the surgery costs 15.000 dollars

now you might know I'm venezuelan, and if you know anything about this country you probably know about the horrible economic crisis that's been going on for years. both of my parents are public workers, their salary literally equals about $8 monthly. there are bonuses and I have my job but that's only enough for us to get through each month. it's just impossible for us to get this kind of money, private loans would take everything we make together monthly in interests, none of our family members can loan us that much money, we already owe them. we keep messaging foundations and stuff but we're running out of options and i need to start asking for donations

any help, no matter how small, would make a huge difference for us. you'd be literally helping me save my dad's life. if we're friends, mutuals, just existing in this community together, if you've read my fics, smiled because of my posts, if you're just a kind person who could spare a little to help me, i would be so so so grateful forever and ever and ever 🙏

here's my paypal and ko-fi and thank you again <3

The reason the iof is attacking the madleen/the freedom Flotilla is because it proves israels control and monopoly of gaza and the sea around can be broken and that aid is not scarce but prevented to arrive

It's so funny to me that Kaz is this big bad boy but he spends most of his time doing paper work like yes even criminals need to do their tax returns.

they spent billions on this

stop earning advanced degrees i need you to finish your fanfiction

[whynotcherries]

beginning to suspect that if I ever want to have a published novel I will have to actually write a novel, which is frankly ghoulish

[whynotcherries]

reach out to your friends who like one of those mid hbo tv shows tonight. they might need you

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

if you would like to download the files the cdc is purging, this substack user is compiling them into pdfs. there's a lot of them and i believe they're still adding more as they learn what's been purged.

[Fascism, transphobia]

I went to the CDC site to see if I could download some data for archival and 😬😬😬

I also really don't want to spread alarm and cause people to wear down more quickly, and be choosier about the news I share here, but this seems important.

Also I'm real mad at the CDC for complying with this. (Which isn't surprising considering how quickly they capitulated over COVID) One of the big rules going around is "Do not comply in advance".

Some of you are going to have to realize really fast that posting on social media about your acts of resistance, or the acts of resistance of your workplace/student group, or things you're planning, or even about charitable actions like volunteering, is a stupid idea in the kind of climate where such acts are increasingly incredibly necessary. And that therefore you cannot and should not assume that someone is apathetic or not doing anything important based on their social media activity. And that some acts require secrecy to be effective and people might only be able to safely talk about them years later, if ever.

And then get off your high fucking horse about how people aren't doing anything, how no one is currently firebombing a Walmart, how "white women who say things like 'joy is an act of resistance' take no other acts of resistance" etc. I promise that right now many ordinary people you will never know about are taking actions that seem small on their own but will lessen harm in significant and tangible ways, and that those people are doing more good than anyone whose main revolutionary actions are snarkily complaining online. This is not the time to be tallying social media points and using them to judge each other.

Btw, this is how conservatives keep getting to claim that trans people are a new thing no one has ever heard, because our history and existences have continually been erased or obscured systematically through out history.

The most famous example was 92 years when the Nazis raided the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the medical practice where the term transsexual was first coined and the first gender affirming surgery was performed in in 1931.

What did the Nazis do after raiding the library on May 6th, 1933? You may be familiar with these images

It is happening again.
