What an interesting property. It's so unique. There are 3 residences, plus several outbuildings. The 1928 build in Brookhaven, NY has a total of 7bds, 6ba, 4,000 sq ft, on 3 acres of land, $1.9m. It needs work, but the potential is amazing.

Aside from the unique main house, there are 2 other residences. This one has a screened porch on the back.

And, this is a little ranch style house.

The building on the left has a cool roof. Outbuildings include little sea shacks that need restoration.

How cute is this little building?

There are so many possibilities.

There are buildings everywhere, it's like a little village.

Look at this little place.

And, this is a big greenhouse.

The main house has its own greenhouse on the side.

I love homes that are built of recycled architectural salvage.

They're so interesting and unique. Here's a laundry room.

They've got some stairs here.

And, a small ladder here, going up to a lofted area under a glass roof.

The kitchen's pretty nice.

It features a gothic church window.

I would bet that a lot of the building material was free.

Lots of built-ins and it looks like they left that nice desk, too.

Whoever did the drywall seemed to put it up neatly, fitting the salvaged pieces into the design.

Bedroom on the upper level.

Nice terrace.

Here's an old foot bridge.

Looks like the entrance to the property.

Water feature on the property.

3 acres. That's Belport Bay in the distance. it's right on the borderline of the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge and near Southaven County Park.

vijzelstraat // amsterdam gouden bocht

nh collection amsterdam flower market the former carltonhotel

architect: gerrit jan rutgers

completion: 1928

the large hotel complex was built in the style of the amsterdam school, a kind of brick impressionism in the netherlands and especially in the city of amsterdam, and thus belongs to the modernist style. as the complex extends over several streets and is completely enclosed by the surrounding buildings, its size is hardly noticeable at first glance. it is also due to the narrow streets that many details of the building façade and the overall effect cannot really be seen, which is a great shame.

but it's still worth a visit.

der große hotekomplex, wurde im stil der amsterdamer schule errichtet, einer spielart des backsteinsimpressionismus in den niederlanden und vor allem im bereich der stadt amsterdam und ist damit zugehörig der moderne. da der komplex sich über mehrere straßen erstreckt und komplett von umgebenden gebäuden eingeschlossen ist, erkennt man die größe auf den ersten blick kaum. ebenso ist es der engen bebauung geschuldet, dass man viele details des gebäudefassade oder die gesamtwirkung auch optisch nicht wirklich erfassen kann, was sehr schade ist.

ein besuch lohnt sich aber natürlich trotzdem.

humiliation and the Jewish dhimmi

FEBRUARY 27, 2025

"Haj Muhammad Said al-Husseini, the mufti of Gaza, issued a fatwa against land sales to Jews arguing that, as a result of Zionism, the Jews had lost their status as dhimmi or wards of Islam and any Muslim or Christian who hekped them would be regarded as an apostate or infidel. In 1935 the first ulama or gathering of Muslim religious scholars issued a similar fatwa."

- "1948 as Jihad" by Benny Morris

WHAT IS A DHIMMI?

Following Muhammad’s death in 632, the Arab Islamic empires conquered lands exponentially quickly. As a result of this rapid colonization, the Muslim authorities were faced with the “problem” of how to handle the conquered Indigenous peoples that resisted conversion to Islam.

This “problem” was solved with a treaty known as the Pact of Umar. This so-called treaty allowed select religious and cultural minorities (known as “People of the Book”) to practice their beliefs so long as they paid the “jizya” tax and abided by a set of restrictive, second-class citizenship laws.

Apologists for dhimmitude often whitewash this status, noting that it afforded minorities “protection.” But paying someone so that they don’t kill you is not protection; it’s extortion. 

The Ottoman Empire did not abolish dhimmi status until 1856, though it’s worth noting that even then, Jews were still not entirely equal under the law. Most notably, Jews were restricted from certain land purchases and from a number of activities at the Western Wall, including blowing the shofar, bringing chairs or Jewish ritual objects, and speaking or praying loudly.

DHIMMI LAWS

Jews were forbidden from building new synagogues. Synagogues could not be taller than mosques and the homes of Jews could not be taller than the homes of Muslims. Jews could not raise their voices during Muslim prayer times. Jewish children could not be taught the Quran. Jewish funerals had to be quiet and Jews could not be buried near Muslims. Jews had to show deference to Muslims; for example, if a Muslim wished to sit where a Jew was sitting, the Jewish person had to give up their seat. Muslims were prohibited from converting to Judaism. Jews had to dress differently than Muslims. Jews had to wear identifying yellow belts or turbans and had to cut off their sidelocks. Jews could not ride the same animals as Muslims and could not use a saddle. Jews were forbidden from taking Muslim titles. Jews could not own weapons. Jews had to host Muslim passerbys for 3 days. Jews could not govern, lead, or employ Muslims. Jews could not buy a Muslim prisoner or slaves who had been allotted to Muslims. Jews could not engrave Arabic inscriptions on signet seals. Jewish witnesses were not admissible in court. Jews were subject to a “jizya” tax. Jews could not join the military or work for the government. When harmed by a Muslim, Jews had to purchase Muslim witnesses, which left Jews with virtually no legal recourse. Jews could not marry a Muslim woman. Jews could not criticize Islam or the Quran on penalty of death.

THE IDEOLOGY OF HAMAS

Hamas is an Islamist terrorist group. Islamists believe that the doctrines of the religion of Islam should be congruent with those of the state. Islamists work to implement nation-states governed under Islamic Law (Sharia), emphasize pan-Islamic unity (in most cases, hoping for an eventual worldwide Islamic Caliphate, or empire), support the creation of Islamic theocracies, and reject all non-Muslim influences. 

Islamist ideology can be traced back to Hassan al-Banna and the Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928. Al-Banna viewed the 1924 dissolution of the last Islamic Caliphate, the Ottoman Empire, and the European colonization of the Middle East, beginning with France’s 1830 occupation of Algeria, as an affront to Islam. The early 20th century was a period of rapid secularization in the Middle East, when Arab nationalism threatened to replace pan-Islamic identity with a pan-Arab identity. Al-Banna opposed all of this, hoping to return to “authentic” Islamic practice through the (re)establishment of the Islamic Caliphate.

Hamas emerged as the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas, too, seeks to return to “authentic Islamic practice,” as outlined in their original Charter. By this they mean, essentially, that they wish to go back in time, to a time when Jews were dhimmis.

"Hamas did not hold their 'ceremony' for hostage Hisham Al-Sayed 'out of respect for the Bedouin-Israeli community': it was out of disrespect for the Jews. Their shame-honor culture dictates that only 'dhimmi' Jews get to be humiliated. This is why the coffins of the murdered hostages were designed with special handles to be carried at 'foot level,' rather than the usual ones intended to be carried at 'shoulder level': the Jew must always be reminded that he is inferior."

- Lyn Julius, author of  Uprooted: How 3000 Years of Jewish Civilization in the Arab World Vanished Overnight

HUMILIATION AND THE DHIMMI

Dhimmi laws were inherently humiliating, in that they reminded dhimmis of their inferior status in society. For example, dhimmis had to show deference to Muslims, dress distinctively, and more. 

While the Quran itself does not proscribe “humiliating treatment” along with the payment of the jizya tax, historically, Muslim empires largely humiliated their dhimmi subjects during tax collection. For example, in the 16th century, Islamic scholar Ahmad Sirhindi wrote, “The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honor and might of Islam.” 

In some places, Jewish dhimmis were forced to carry out humiliating acts; for example, in Yemen, Jews were made to clean excrement. 

Oftentimes, dhimmis were forced to pay the jizya tax on foot, rather than on horse, so that they would be reminded of their lower status.

let’s talk about what those perverse, degrading hostage release ceremonies are actually about.

A collection of Will and Nico headcanons I want to use in fics, but they've been hanging out in my drafts so long that they'll probably never see the light of day

•Nico doesn’t speak what is broadly referred to as Italian nowadays, per se. Based on Rick's (albeit sloppy and contrary) timeline, the Di Angelo's end up in DC right before the US enters the war (they get there winter of 1939 iirc,) and Nico is 10 when they come out of the Lotus, so he's probably born sometime in 1928-29. (Probably '29, based on the January birthday.) He's born pretty early into Mussolini's forced “Italification” process (About 1925). All that being said (especially with the fact that the Di Angelos made it out of Italy and to the states under Mussolini.) I think there's a pretty substantial possibility that what Nico speaks is pre-fascist unification Venetian, not the broader Italian.  (He's learning the modern language, though. He and Will go to some sandwich place in New Jersey or wherever, and he orders in his first language because he recognizes some of the stuff the cooks are yelling. The grey haired guy at the register stares at him like he has a third eye and says, “Kid, why do you talk like my granny?” He's flabbergasted. Will is delighted.) 

•Will has Czech ancestry. There's a Czech diaspora in the Texas Hill Country, and their initial immigration was a huge building block in the creation of Central Texas culture. (I know he's described as having no musical talent, but I think it would be funny if he gets an accordion in his hands at some point and figures out he can totally rip with it, and he calls his mom and is like “why this” and Naomi is like “Have I never told you about your great-great-grandmother?)

•Will ends up getting like. The most fuckass youth-pastor “I walked into a tattoo shop and asked for tattoos” tattoos after the sun. I love my boy, I do, but something about him gives off that vibe. Like he gets one of those forest growing up around the wrist tattoos or something. Bands around the bicep, calligraphy on the collarbones, yellow rose on his thigh kinda thing. He gets tattoos like he’s the 3rd member of the Chainsmokers. (Nico does not know that they are lame, because he is 96 years old. He thinks Will and his tattoos are sooooo cool.)

•In a similar vein, this is also how Will dresses. When he’s not wearing scrubs he’s wearing like, a cutoff NASA shirt that he’s owned for 6 years, basketball shorts, and sandals with socks. On the other hand, once he’s able to finally go shopping for himself, the way Nico dresses shifts wildly. Suddenly he’s wearing collard shirts with sweaters over them, and turtlenecks tucked into dark, straight-cut jeans, instead of overly baggy t-shirts. (The jacket stays, though, and so do the boots that Will put stickers all over for him.) (“What’s the occasion?” Jason asks him, referring to a new outfit the first time, and Nico is bewildered and kind of like “What? I’m just not dressing out of the garbage anymore?” and Jason goes “…What?” and learns that for the past few years Nico’s been stealing his clothes out of donation boxes and trashcans and that the beat-up look wasn’t like a purposeful aesthetic, and he feels his heart break a bit.)

•Most animals don't like Nico. You know what does? Pigs. Those things are brutal. They'll eat anything, including humans, so Nico's "death aura" just kind of smells like food. They figure this out while at a farm for some reason, and the pigs start following them around. Will asks Nico to summon a zombie to scare them off, and they just eat it. One of the pigs bumps its head against Nico's hand like a dog. ("Oh gods." "You made a friend, Ni!") (They get a guinea hog when they move in together. They name it after Hestia, who thinks it's hilarious.)

•Capture the flag day is always bad. You know what’s worse? SEC football season. Southern campers raised in college sport culture are bloodthirsty. The week that UT plays A&M, Jason, Piper, Kayla, and Nico have a strategy meeting about how to keep Leo and Will away from each other. Otherwise, they start hurling some of the worst insults and physical violence that either side has ever resorted to, outside of the actual wars. (Once, instead of flipping them off when Nico and Will were putting Leo in prison during capture the flag, Leo had shot Will an upside-down hand symbol that Nico didn’t understand. Nico had watched with wide eyes as Will cocked an eyebrow and jabbed Leo in a pressure-point that made him collapse on the ground. “What was that?” “Justice.”)   (Also, not super relevant, but Connor Stoll tours USC so he has an excuse to wear a shirt that reads “COCKS” for a week without getting in trouble.) 

•Nico is slowly gains freckles and beauty spots as his olive skin tone returns/his tan deepens. At some point, they notice that there are a lot more concentrated on one half of his body, (On his cheek, the side of his nose, down his face, on his arm) and they can’t figure out why. Eventually, they’re talking about it sitting in bed, and they shrug it off and lay down. Will goes “Oh, my gods,” and they realize because of the way they sleep, Nico is getting more freckles on one side of his body because he’s basically getting ambient sun exposure on half of his body from sleeping on top of Will every night. (“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re a human tanning bed!” “I didn’t know! You’re the one who’s trying to sleep inside my chest!”)

I made a turn of the century x men evolution au

Hey everyone so a big special interest of mine is the period from 1900 to about 1928 so I decided what if I took the kids from the X-Men evolution cartoon from their point at the turn of the 21st century and put them at the turn of the 20th century instead...and also added a few characters. I hope you enjoy this. I have a lot for this au, and I'm gonna put it all under the read more.

So Au thoughts

 The year is 1912. Xavier has started his institute a few years prior with scott summers and jean grey as students. Scott was adopted by Xavier after his parents died in a train crash and jean comes from a family of doctors and scientists Xavier is friends with. 

Because no computers yet, as the microprocessor  has yet to be invented, Forge didn't get stuck in a pocket dimention and got to grow up he works for xavier. He helps design and build a modified danger room that's more steam punk/dieselpunk. Lots of things are gear powered and Holograms are projections onto steam curtians. Because no computers, no cerebro. But jean and Xavier have trained themselves to be able to sense those with mutant powers around them and have been working with a network of underground individuals, some cases literally like the morlocks, to find out about new strange individuals popping up in the states. The morlocks are much more involved in this. they are good friends with Xavier and frequently helps young morlocks train their powers. 

One of those individuals is Gambit. Gambit is 17 in this and does various jobs for xavier. One is listening through the grape vine for odd individuals popping up. The other is essentially working the danger room with forge. As The danger room  is more steampunk/dieselpunk in this, with storm's help as well it can simulate weather events, earth quakes, fires, unstable ground, flooding, (bb gun based) old west shootouts, explosions (thanks to Gambit), search and rescue, avalanche / rock fall settings, and much more. 

Gambit helps set up the room and make the mechanisms work.  it functions well with automatons, steam engines, pistons, and a lot of theater special effect tricks. Gambit helps forge scrap hunt for machinery to repurpose for it. He has befriended the local street children and finds out from them wherever a factory tosses out a machine. 

Speaking of theater though, we have morph as well as a staff member. Kevin is well known fairy(period equivalent  to someone who does not fit into either gender) and drag expert from New York where they worked on broadway and a very close friend of Logan. So close they share a bedroom....;)

Morph is there to help with tailoring as well as helping kids who need disguises to pass in public cause of their time in broadway and avoid harassment, like Kurt. 

They also help simulate battles in the danger room with foes they have faced off against before.

Kurt doesn't have an image modifier in this obviously. No computers, no digital holograms. But with forge and morph they are able to help him pass. Morph designs pants for him that have a  special pocket for his tail to tuck away, as well as boots with  special braces that help disguise his digitigrade feet. Morph also helps him with makeup and hair in the morning to hide his blue face and pointed ears. 

For his hands forge has built some prothstetic fingers that are controlled by the other fingers in his hand like a puppet, so it appears he has five fingers on each hand covered by riding gloves, as well as colored contact lenses for his eyes to disguise them as brown. 

Kurt's parents came to America from Germany with him as a toddler. People found out about their adopted son and they had to flee. They settled in a small German speaking community in the middle of nowhere Iowa where they could be safe. They would have a priest visit Kurt to give him mass in private for his own safety and had a nun come to tutor him. Xavier found out about Kurt through gambits grapevine. 

Ororo came from Africa as a citizen of  British colony egypt to Jamaica where she met Charles she has family living in the states via her sister who do  are wealthy merchants.  they were british colony  expats that moved to the states to control British imports to the states easier. Thus how we get Evan. Skateboard hasn't been invented yet so he is big into the turn of the century cycling craze as well as roller skates. 

 Rogue is still a goth. A very very classic goth. Victorian goth. She still dresses like it's the 1800s to in part keep others from touching her skin but also she is just a great appreciator of Poe and Shelly and stoker. 

One thing that is different for Scott is that on top of the train crash his brother havoc is still with him at this time. His parents are very, very dead tho. No alien rescues. (Forgot to draw Alex tho but he's there as are the minor character students)

Beast is also there more from the begining as a teacher he helps take care of the kids medical needs. He got kicked out of his scientific circle, not cause of his mutant ness that came later, but because he insisted doctors must wash their hands before interacting with patients. 

Jean grey is a highly educated absolute Gibson girl. She and Kitty sneak out to do suffragette stuff regularly.  Speaking of, kitty is definitely a girl of the new century. Wants to go to college one day with Jean. Insists on wearing riding/sports pants wherever she goes. She is girly in certain ways, but defs is a very modern young woman. She likes helping Forge out with his projects. 

Magneto's hatred for humanity in this case comes from his survival of the pogroms of eastern Europe only to see there is still antisemitism once escaping them. And mystique has a boarding house where the brotherhood kids live, but she wasn't principal of the bayview school. 

Wolverine is a cowboy in this au yes. He has a horse, but he's also toying with some of the very few motorcycles. They are more of dirt bikes at this point tho, so his horse his still his go too. It's a deep black mare named Blackbird. He does not have an adimantium skeleton but his claws have been capped with silver to help protect them. 

No x jet but they do have a few biplanes they are training with. Forge is modifying them to be able to cary more people. So far he's made one that can vary five. 

 Gambit introduces everyone to jazz cause it hasn't left Louisiana yet. He brought his Grammaphone and all hell broke loose from there. 

Also rogue having a bit more of a high society upbringing thanks to irene. Gambit hasn't had a day of real school as public school wants universally established until the 1910s. He knows his reading, writing, and arithmetic from Sunday school and such and whatever jean luc  had him taught, but he's excited to learn about what the kids are learning about in their normal school. 

Rogue brings him her study material and teaches it to him and in return he teaches her the various crafts and skills he learned in the bayou and as a member of the theives guild. 

Hope you guys enjoy all this!!! Please feel free to share your thoughts!

Tried to keep things period accurate outfits wise.
