As it turned out though, 8 October proved to be worse than 7 October, because it was then that the campaign of denial began. Western academics, artists and activists, some under the banner of justice and humanitarianism, others devoid of any banner, rushed to explain how the whole attack was simply armed resistance, and not genocide,[vi] even though Palestinian terrorists had killed everyone in their path.

The American writer Najma Sharif tweeted sneeringly: ‘What did y’all think decolonisation meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays? Losers!’[vii] Former minister Yannis Varoufakis, leader of the Greek left, declared that it was not Hamas, but ‘Europeans’, who were the criminals[viii]. Furthermore, in a joint statement, 35 organisations from the University of Harvard placed all the blame for the massacre on one actor – Israel of course.[ix] While attendees of the ill-fated rave party were still hiding in bushes from the terrorists, the New York section of the Democratic Socialists of America and the anti-Zionist organisation the Jewish Voice for Peace held a rally on Times Square in support of ‘Gaza’. [x] Susan Sarandon, the unforgettable star of Thelma and Louise, spoke at the next demo, and expressed satisfaction that Jews were finally ‘getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country’.[xi]

Meanwhile, a photograph went viral of a man paragliding over the Gaza barrier on 7 October so as to take part in the massacre. The image was shared by the Chicago branch of Black Lives Matter and Jodie Dean, a political theorist from Hobart College. The latter viewed the event as ‘exhilarating’.[xii] ‘And what do you stand for? For liberation, or for Zionism and imperialism?’ she asked.[xiii] The creators of the posters that were put up across New York got straight to the point: ‘Zionism = terrorism’.[xiv]

The terrorists themselves seemed somewhat disorientated by the unexpected outpouring of sympathy, and they published contradictory statements. Some claimed that no hostages had been taken, because Muslims do not wage war against civilians.[xv] Others declared that there are no civilians in Israel, because all the Jewish inhabitants were occupiers[xvi].

All this took place amidst the deafening silence of humanitarian and progressive organisations, who in the wake of the murder of George Floyd or the outbreak of war in Ukraine had issued statements around the clock.[xvii]

Slogans such as ‘Queers for Palestine’ drew comparisons with the little dog from Moominland Midwinter who longs to be with real wolves in the woods.

Go back to Poland

The slogan ‘Go back to Poland’ was tested by Lebanon’s Hezbollah following Hamas’s attack,[xviii] and a couple of months later it spread to the placards of American students protesting against the war in Gaza.[xix] Confronted by the fact that their postulates conformed to the definition of colonialism – dictating a situation overseas at someone else’s expense – the students superciliously shrugged their shoulders.

They had clearly never been exposed to the view that at the time of the creation of Israel, the majority of Jews were refugees, and Palestine was their haven (refugium), established by UN resolution no. 181 in 1947. This concept did not conform to the narrative about settler colonisers, and the same could be said about the traumatised kibbutzniks, peers of Hanna Krall from the orphanage in Otwock such as Lili Szynowłoga, who had miraculously survived the war by hiding in the cemetery in the town of Chęciny.[xx]

In Stanford, the first sit-in was held in mid-October, so before Israel entered Gaza. The young participants were angry and resolute: in their bid to justify the violence of the liberators, they cited Franz Fannon,[xxi] likened Hamas to Nelson Mandela, and compared the massacre of the kibbutzniks to Ukrainian self-defence in the war with Russia. In fact, Hamas and Hezbollah flags were few and far between at the New York demonstrations in early November, but soon the Columbia students announced that ‘We are Hamas’, while also championing such slogans as ‘By any means necessary’, ‘Globalize intifada’, ‘Abolish the settler state’ and ‘Glory to our martyrs’.[xxii] The red, upturned triangle that is used by terrorists to denote their aims started to appear on Jewish institutions (for example the Brooklyn Museum).[xxiii] One day, passengers on the New York subway heard something that Polish Jews remembered from 1968: “Raise your hand if you’re a Zionist. (…) This is your chance to get out.’[xxiv]

At Stanford, students were only let into the building if they recited the words ‘Fuck Israel, free Palestine’.[xxv] There were calls for boycotts of Israel – academic and others; these slogans had been launched by the anti-Israel movement Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, which had been prohibited by Trump, but which now found itself back in action. Recently, it gained official support from the American Anthropological Association, an organisation of specialists that nevertheless had vehemently opposed the movement for many years (i.e. when the serving president was the daughter of one of the survivors of the Jedwabne Pogrom).[xxvi]

The reality I have described thus far might seem like a clumsy imitation of Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America. The next installment is, however, more of a dark satire on universities – factories of the world’s greatest minds – as if straight from the movie The Social Network.

‘We don’t want no two states! We want all of ’48!’ chanted Stanford students, calling for a return to the situation prior to Israel’s 1948 war of independence (which was started, like the wars of 1967 and 1973, by Israel’s Arab neighbours who, rejecting the previously mentioned UN resolution and the creation of Jewish and Palestinian states, attacked the former, but did not win).[xxvii]

‘We are Stanford University! We control things!’ – shouted young Americans in keffiyehs. They covered their faces, so as not to jeopardise their future careers. The creator of the idea of civil disobedience, Henry David Thoreau, believed that the condition for carrying out such defiance was voluntary submission to the resulting penalty, but this notion was considered ridiculously out of date by the protesters.

Worse than Again

I observed all this while in the US, where I spent the last academic year. My vantage point could be called privileged, considering that I was based at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, but that autumn, it was one of the more unfortunate places to be.

Although school groups bustled to and fro outside the museum, which adjoins the National Mall, the building seemed deserted in early October, and its lifts, which had been designed to bring to mind gas chambers, broke down more than usual.

The black cloud that hovered over the institution following the events of 7 October was expressed in a vigil in honour of those who had been killed or abducted by Hamas. A handful of pale, elderly Holocaust survivors took part. For the first time in the history of the museum, only the initials of those who attended the vigil were provided, due to security fears, but the situation gave the impression that the participants were culprits, not victims.

The official optimism that had been part of the museum’s mission for several decades disintegrated when social media started to swarm with unfriendly statements in the aftermath of 7 October. Suddenly, Jews found themselves on the wrong side. Rywka, a relative of Kielce Pogrom-survivor Anszel Pinkusewicz[xxviii], was on duty answering the constantly ringing telephone, but when the situation became completely unbearable, she started to consider handing in her notice. In November, things got even worse, when pictures of Hamas’s hostages were torn down under the cover of night. The fact that the institution was in crisis was plain to see: within just a few hours of the attack taking place, the museum’s main exhibition, with its motto ‘Never Again’, became painfully outdated. When clips from terrorists’ bodycams were uploaded onto the net, old symbols such as cattle trucks transporting Jews to Auschwitz receded far into the distance. Something had begun that Henry Grynberg had described as ‘Worse than Again’,[xxix] and the hallmark of this was the deafening silence in which it took place.

Jodie Whittaker vs Russel T Davies.

If you don't make a joke out of it, it won't be a mockery. It's that simple. The only way you could believe it was is if you thought there was something inherently insulting about a man wearing non masculine clothing.

What does him being straight have to do with anything? Can straight men not be gender non conforming?

I was going to ask what him being a Scotsman had to do with things, especially when they won't let him use his natural accent, but then I realised that makes it even more ridiculous because Scottish men traditionally wear kilts! And yes, they're not feminine within Scottish culture but they do look that way from an Anglo point of view, which is the viewpoint the press and probably RTD is taking (despite him being Welsh).

And about the press thing, that's not what would have happened and you know it. Source: David Tennant has already worn much more feminine clothes on Good Omens.

It's honestly ironic that Jodie specifically stressed that her costume felt inclusive and could be worn by anyone and RTD spat in the face of it.

In recent years, the conversation surrounding transgender healthcare has reached new heights, particularly concerning medical interventions for minors. Across the country, healthcare providers have been increasingly pressured to adopt gender-affirming practices that encourage transitioning, including the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and sometimes surgeries, even for minors. While these treatments are widely promoted as necessary for the well-being of transgender individuals, there is a growing number of healthcare professionals who question the ethics and implications of these interventions, especially for young patients.

As these new policies are implemented in institutions like Dignity Health, many healthcare workers are grappling with the pressure to conform to what they believe is an ideology rather than a medical necessity. These professionals, including doctors, nurses, and other staff, are tasked with navigating the ethical dilemmas that arise when they’re asked to provide care that they feel may not be in the best interest of their patients. This piece examines the perspectives of healthcare staff who do not agree with the prevailing narrative that gender identity can and should be transitioned through medical intervention.

The Pressure to Conform: An Overwhelming Shift in Medical Practice

At institutions like Dignity Health, gender-affirming care is increasingly becoming a standard practice, with staff being required to undergo extensive training on how to manage transgender patients. This training emphasizes the importance of affirming a patient’s gender identity, including offering puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to minors who are seeking to transition. Many healthcare providers perceive these programs as a push to normalize practices that go against the ethical principles of Beneficience & Non-maleficence, a.k.a “Do no Harm,” and their personal, medical, or ethical convictions.

Anyone up for hearing my theories on who and when and how the portals in Dndads can kind of make sense maybe?

Well, start of the season, Sparrow, Lark, Grant, and Terry clearly can't portal between realms. My theory is that they kinda depended on Nick, Glenn, and Jodie for that sort of thing pre-betrayal. But this inability to portal is how they get stuck on Earth and the teens need to save them. However, we do see them using portal guns and whatever later, so what happens?

Now at the start we don't see portalling between the two realms until Nick shows up, but we do see the FBI create a portal into Taylor's room, and we see the mayor have the ability to portal around the Forgotten Realms when she appears under Taylor's bed (later we get the conformation when they visit city hall, but we're not really there yet.) The point is though, these two entities are clearly limited to the plane their already on at this point. The FBI might be looking for a way into Hell, but they don't have it yet.

Now...should Sparrow have Plane Shift when they go to earth? Yes. But I'm going to say that either the kiddads got split up and he didn't want to abandon Grant and Terry, OR somehow he got really unlucky and "How to cast plane shift" was a memory that got stolen or wiped away by Doodler aura almost immediately. It's not too egregious.

Once everyone gets back from Earth, the next portal usage we see is Nick coming out of Hell to kick Willy's ass, and the next thing we know, the FBI has found their way into Hell. I theorize that, since Agent Shmegan basically told Taylor he'd be following to see when Nick showed back up, that Nick got caught by the FBI at this point, and they managed to create their tool to cross through to different planes, and since they already had the tech to portal around one plane, it's not a stretch to think they could apply it in such a way that it could go between realms.

Now, who is in cahoots with the FBI? Willy. Him helping them get Nick probably actually made that easier actually. So now Willy has portal guns developed by the FBI. He doesn't need them himself, but once he gets the collars on the kiddads, he needs them to have a way to easily get through the realms so that they can do their jobs and hands them off.

In regards to Nick, my thoughts are that whatever demons use to make portals requires somatic components so having all his limbs cut off ruined that (and I know I said maybe portals don't cost spell slots for Demons) but I wonder if while he was hanging around the ISS, he just thought if he couldn't use the spell, why bother prepping it, and replaced it with something else, but then forgot to re-prep it once he got his limbs back.

The only thing I don't really have an explanation for is why Lark can summon the cat bus via whistle. But I also think I've just thought about this for more than I already should have, so...I can just let that one go. Like...maybe the catbus has a portal connection that's whistle based, I dunno. OH!!!! THAT'S IT!!! Maybe like the bracelet that was set to open the portal from Taylor's room to the FBI base, he has a bracelet that opens a portal from the cat bus to wherever he is when he whistles!

TIGERRS is celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by highlighting an outstanding member of the GNC and Asian American communities!

Born to immigrant parents from Malaysia and India, Alok Vaid-Menon (ALOK) is a gender non-conforming poet, comedian, public speaker, and actor. They have made a name for themselves as an artist and an activist, sharing their work and their experiences with the world. They have received global recognition for their literary works Beyond the Gender Binary, Femme in Public, and Your Wound, My Garden. Their acting credits include roles in Complicated Order, HBO Max’s SORT OF, and upcoming film Absolute Dominion. They were also the subject of the Sundance Film Festival docu-short ALOK executive produced by Jodie Foster. For their work and contributions, they have received the ACLU of Southern California Bill of Rights Award and the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment Trailblazer Award.

(text used in the background of the graphic comes from Alok’s blog:

“I would rather be a soul than a body. I would rather be fluid than frozen. This is why I share when I am hurting. Because I am alive. And it is terrifying and brilliant. It is the most profound argument for love I have ever known.

How ironic that they think my queerness is what made me want to die. When it is the very thing that reminds me why I live.”)

FORGOTTEN LIVES: Graeme Harper

Before we begin! Remember to get a copy of the Forgotten Lives Omnibus at this link! We're six Doctors in now, if you're interested, then preorder at the link before the end of August - that's only a few more days!

One Doctor is down for the day, we're onto the Doctor I shamelessly admit to find the most fascinating. By this point we've started in a supernatural world and taken a walk back into stories like we'd expect from Doctor Who, returning to sci-fi. Aditya Bidikar takes us back to the fantasy genre that the Barry Doctor started us in through more than just the setting, but through a Doctor that walks in the realm of fables and grandiose concepts... and comic books.

Graeme Harper (1945) is currently the one and only director for Modern and New Series Doctor Who. With his earliest credits being The Caves of Androzani and Revelation of the Daleks before returning for the RTD era for events like Rise of the Cybermen / The Age of Steel and The Stolen Earth / Journey's End, no doubt we're all familiar with their work in some way.

Aditya Bidikar brings a unique side of the Doctor out, I'd argue one of the more standout incarnations overall. While still noticeably and clearly the Doctor, there is a presence that I haven't seen since Sylvester McCoy's portrayal. The Harper Doctor very well may be the other side of the coin that McCoy portrayed - where one is a dark trickster in an unsuspecting from, the other is a wanderer in the unknown that marvels at every step. The pair are the only Doctors that I could picture being able to talk to higher concepts such as Death, which both incarnations prove to do.

While I've focused a lot on the main authors in these posts, I have to give great credit to Cody Schnell and their story - "Scene to Uncover" steps up to Bidikar's universe flawlessly, showing a moment we don't often get to see in Doctor Who while feeling right at home. They take full opportunity of the themes and fairy-tale like stories to paint their own fascinating glimpse of greater beings at work.

Even the TARDIS, designed as always by Paul Hanley, perfectly captures what this era could be. The darker blues and purples of the interior make it feel relaxed and cosy, while the library at the back could practically sum up this entire Doctor. Their adventures feel exactly like what "Forgotten Lives" should be, stories pulled off of a dusty shelf that haven't been read in so long that it's like you're experiencing them for the first time all over again.

One interesting note of design involves the Doctor's ambiguous gender. There are multiple references throughout their era about how this Doctor must be a man because they've got a beard (which may not be entirely accurate). Apart from just adding some well needed variety to the Morbius lineup and unwittingly making Graeme Harper a gender non-conforming icon for the book, this feels very in line with what could've been done at the time. Considering the disgusting reaction that Jodie Whittaker's debut as the Doctor caused from certain corners of the internet, having a woman debut as the Doctor over sixty years ago could've led to an equally gross reaction. One way that it might've been worked around is by simply implying the Doctor had become a woman while presenting as a man, an implication carrying a hundred words and a dozen queer readings as a result (I personally love how older media would get around harsher reactions by simply implying what they wanted, so this detail grabbed my interest quick).

Graeme Harper was a fun roadbump when it came to the Morbius Doctors as his photos wasn't taken with everybody else, instead being retrieved from elsewhere. What went into designing this Doctor is too much for me to shorten and sum up in a single post - Paul Hanley managed to crack the long standing mystery of where Harper's Morbius photo originally came from and you can find that in his post detailing how he made the outfit. Of course, the outfit of this Doctor would've ended up quite different if they had used the one in the actual photo - an Adjudicator costume. So instead, Paul Hanley had the unique chance to design his own outfit befitting of this Doctor specifically. This, of course, leading to the ultimate addition to an outfit - a psychic beard.

For more insight into the creative process of every author that worked on Forgotten Lives, you can go to @forgottenlivesobverse and find interviews from everyone involved across the books. If you're looking for the incredible journey of finding an obscure photo of Graeme Harper, you can go to Paul Hanley's Patreon and find what went into designing each Doctor.

Prepare to watch the Doctor embrace the birth of the known universe and choose to go against Death itself in the following stories.

Your anon who said about her LGB friends looking back at when they were kids, and they dressed gnc so their parents knew - I'm wondering whether a factor of that is more to do with fashion for kids has changed.

I grew up in the 90's/2000's and most of my clothes were gnc (only really party clothes weren't). This was normal. If you go further back still to my parents era, this applied even more. We talk about it all the time how 13 year olds now look older and dress older than I ever did. Look at what they've put young celebrities in (eg stranger things cast) compared to young celebrities 20, 30, 50 years ago! Especially with young girls - the hyper sexualisation has gone off the walls. Overalls, sweat pants, jeans have all been replaced by clothing that makes them look twice their age. There was a new Kpop group that debuted recently. The youngest member was 16, and she looked older than me and I'm in my late twenties.

Sure I had friends growing up who were 'super girly' but mostly we all ran around in comfy clothes to roll in the mud in.

hm i agree its even more sexualised now but i disagree that overall young celebrities werent sexualised back then.

brooke shields in the late 1970s:

she was between like 10 and 15 in these pics. i havent shared the worst of it bc u get the idea with these.

natalie portman at 12-13:

u can look up the films leon the professional where she was further sexualised bc i dont wanna share it here either.

britney spears' hit song hit me baby one more time was when she was 16

jodie foster when she was 12 in taxi driver where they cast her as a child prostitute and sexualised her

these are just famous examples but young female celebs have been sexualised since forever and honestly, there was fewer barriers and they were more exploited when it did happen. at least now the media has SOME criticism of it when it happens. in the 2000s and before, male celebs would openly be dating underage girls and the media wouldnt even care for it & would glorify those relationships. 2 of the women i mentioned were cast as child prostitutes and sexualised heavily in the movies that got them known, one was even posing nude in hugh hefner's magazine as a 10 year old. these arent necessarily the worst examples but it shows enough for u to realise this issue was always concerning, just in different ways. comparatively this is millie bobby brown when she was 13:

besides i think when gay ppl say that, theyre referring to themselves as being more gnc than whatever the current gender norms are. i do think femininity nowadays has become even more restrictive compared to the more recent previous decades (which werent necessarily liberating either) tho and i do think a certain level of gender non-conformity was more stylish in certain years

Chapter 4- Sam

AUTHORS NOTE: I cant figure out how to put italics on tumblr so if you want proper format go to AO3

He let me win, why? Sam stood there dumbfounded. Maybe I should just drop it. He tried to shake it off and think about something else. BUT WHY! His thoughts were racing eating away at him. After standing there looking stupid for an embarrassing amount of time Sam began cleaning up. He set up the table, and the pool cues away. Then he put his can of joja cola in the recycling. Before rounding up the 3, 4, 5 empty glasses Seb had drank.

He brought the glasses to the counter, setting them all down with a thud. “Here Gus.” He said as he sat down.

“Thanks bud.” Gus looked at Sam with a warm smile. “Say, Sebastian and Abigail rushed out of here quickly. They grow up so fast. But y'all are about the age to be getting up to stuff like that.” He looked at Sam. “Just be careful.”

“Oh.” Sam hadn’t thought of that. “I will. Its late so I should head home.” He waved goodbye and turned to leave, nodding to Willy and Clint who were sitting at the table by the door. As he pushed open the door he felt a blast of cold wind hit his body. He stepped outside into the moonlit snowy street. What'd he mean by “getting up to stuff like that?” What are they doing? What's happening? Should I go check it out? He turned around and looked in the direction of Sebs place. No, no, he was mad when I worried this morning I should just leave him alone. He turned back and walked home. Gazing up at the stars and looking at the snow covered bushes near the path.

He stopped in front of his house. The lights are still on. If I go inside mom will ask me how things went. He stood there contemplating his next move. Should I sneak through the window? Maybe this is a sign I should go investigate what Seb and Abby are doing. But I trust Abby. He scolded himself for not trusting his friends. Then he spun himself around and trudged off in the other direction. I want to hear the ocean. He trudged down the beach, reaching the point where the snow turned to sand. He took a breath and stepped into the sand. Then walked onto the dock.

He sank into the bench next to Willys boat house. Gazing up at the stars. He began a rhythmic tapping on the bench with his left hand. He took a deep breath. Why do I feel this way? Why am I jealous? It's none of my business what Sebastian does. But why does he let me win? “Ugh, this is exhausting.” Sam let out an audible groan with his frustration.

“Then maybe you should get some sleep, kid.” It was Uncle Willys voice from around the corner. “What are you doing out so late? It's cold out here.” He walked closer to Sam and gestured to the empty spot where Sam had been tapping. “Can I sit here?”

Sam moved his hand and watched Willy sit next to him.

“You know,” he looked at Sam. “Yer pops and I used to sit here and fish every morning when we were yer age. I know it's hard, him being away and all. And yer pals movin’ along without you.” He put his hand on Sam's shoulder. “Yer dad used to sit here, yapping away about this girl he liked. Name was Jodi.” He chucked. “He thought I was trying to date her since our parents were close. But whenever we were together she’d just ask ‘bout him.” He sighed and looked at Sam. “‘ventually he signed up for the military. Jodi was heartbroken and confessed to him. They got hitched and moved away to a military base somewhere, where you were born.” He looked at Sam trying to gauge if Sam understood his point. “Look all’m tryna say is that ya shouldn’t wait till she makes a move, ya gotta do it yourself.” He looked at Sam, hoping for conformation.

Sam nodded. “I understand. Thanks Uncle Willy.” Does he think I like Abby? Is that why I’m jealous? No, I've never thought of babies that way.

“Well, don't stay out too late pal. Im gonna hit the sack.” He stood up, patted Sam on the back, and walked toward the door. “Goodnight.” He walked inside and closed the door.

Sam sat there in silence. Listening to the waves, and the wind. Taking in the sounds, and the moonlight reflecting off the ocean. Someone could write a song about this. He resumed rapping his fingers on the bench. Just describe the environment, the story. He reminded himself of the advice Penny had given him when he asked for advice on songwriting.

In the silence I can hear the waves

But they are drowned out by my thoughts of you

The waves reflect light, from the moon and the stars,

Though they're not the brightest thing in the night

My thoughts of you, the Image in my head

Of the boy that I want in my bed

You were there the other day and we laughed about

The size of my bed and the the stupid action movie I put on

Sam tapped away, as he thought of these lyrics. It wasn't the type of music he thought he'd wanted to write, it was… what did Penny call this type of song? Free poetry? Free verse! That's it. He continued.

My uncle told me to confess

But I can't even confess it to myself

I should tell my father, in the church on sunday

The boy that took over my thoughts, turned my brain to a warzone

Hey there, boy in my head

He's real I think

My childhood friend

Not the one I thought it'd be

The boy

Who opened up to me

He stopped tapping. Do I like Sebastian? Is that why I'm jealous? But I used to have a crush on Emily, I can't be gay. He shivered and stood up, running home to write down the lyrics he'd just come up with

A painting of Noah’s Ark. The Old Testament story has not only inspired countless generations of artists, but also more than a century of “scientific” attempts to find the remains of the legendary ark.

For a long time, people have been searching for the ark that scripture says survived the flood. Archaeologists say it is a fruitless task.

Noah’s Ark is one of the best known and most impressive of all Old Testament stories: God was so displeased with humans after creating them that he sent an all-encompassing flood on Earth to destroy them – with one notable exception: one man and his family, accompanied by pairs of each of the planet’s animals, survived the flood in an enormous wooden ark.

For people who accept the religious text as a historically accurate account of actual events, the search for archaeological evidence of the ark is equally fascinating, prompting some intrepid believers to search for traces of the wooden ark on the slopes of Mount Ararat and beyond.

In 1876, for example, British lawyer and politician James Bryce climbed Mount Ararat, where biblical records say the ark stood, and claimed that a piece of wood “conforming to all the requirements of the case” was in fact part of the ark.

More modern ship “discoveries” are happening regularly, from the report that someone else saw it in a rock formation high on the mountain in the 1940s, to the claim by evangelical pastors in the early 2000s that they found petrified wood on the summit.

But the search for this ship has drawn all sorts of emotions from academic archaeologists and biblical scholars, ranging from outrage to scorn.

“No legitimate archaeologist would do that,” says Jodi Magness, an archaeologist at the University of North Carolina, about the modern search for evidence of Noah’s Ark.

Flood or fiction?

Stories of devastating floods and their survivors predate the Hebrew Bible, the earliest parts of which are thought to have been written in the 8th century BC.

Legends of a flood destroying civilization at the behest of a supernatural deity can be found in numerous Mesopotamian texts, from the Epic of Gilgamesh, written in the early 2nd millennium BC, to a recently deciphered Babylonian cuneiform tablet from 1750 BC on how to build a ship.

Could these flood myths be based on reality? “There seems to be geologic evidence that there was a major flood in the Black Sea region about 7,500 years ago,” says Eric Cline, an archaeologist at George Washington University.

But scientists disagree about the scale of the event, just as historians of the period disagree about whether writings about a flood were inspired by real life. It seems more likely that the floods happened in different places and at different times, and that these events naturally entered the oral and written lore of the world.

Further complicating the matter, scholars differ on the precise location of Noah’s Ark according to the Hebrew Bible. In the Book of Genesis, the ark sat on the mountains of Ararat in the ancient kingdom of Urartu, a region that now includes Armenia and parts of eastern Turkey and Iran.

“We have no way of determining exactly where in the ancient Near East this occurred,” Magness says.

Both Cline and Magness say that even if artifacts from Noah’s Ark have been or will be found, they can never be definitively linked to historical events.

“There’s no way we can place Noah, if he really existed, and the flood, if it really existed, in time and space. The only way you can determine that is if you have an authentic ancient inscription. And even then, such an inscription could be referring to another Noah or another flood.”

Same evidence, very different results

Such groups use material archaeological evidence to support their literal interpretation of scripture and simply ignore or try to refute evidence to the contrary. But not all share the same tactics.

A ministry called “Answers In Genesis,” which focuses on scientific issues and even runs a Noah’s Ark-themed amusement park in Kentucky, acknowledges that myths about the flood are ubiquitous beyond the Old Testament story of Noah, and even concedes that the ark may never have been found.

“We don’t expect the ark to be alive and ready to be found after 4,350 years,” says Andrew A. Snelling, a geologist and Director of Research at Answers in Genesis who has spent decades proving the Earth’s youth.

Snelling differs from archaeologists on why the remains of the ark may never be found. “There is every reason to expect that Noah and his family would have dismantled the ark to salvage timber from it (since they no longer needed it), since there were no mature trees from which to build shelters after they got off the ark.”

“We are not like Indiana Jones, this is a scientific procedure”

Part of the problem, Cline says, is that society has unrealistic expectations of the discipline, and popular media emphasize the thrill of the chase rather than the slow growth of archaeological knowledge.

“We’re not like Indiana Jones. This is a scientific procedure. It takes time. But what excites us doesn’t have to excite other people.”

Cline says that in his younger years he spent considerable time and energy debunking the so-called biblical evidence that captivated the public year after year. He eventually gave that up, though, and now focuses his time on both expeditions and translating his research for those willing to accept the results of the scientific process. “People will believe what they want to believe,” he sighs.

That’s not going to change anytime soon, which is why Cline is currently focused on unearthing an 18th-century BC Canaanite palace at Tel Kabri in northern Israel. After a pandemic-related pause in fieldwork, he plans to return next summer to continue excavating a painted plaster base at an Old Testament site.

“For us, this base is incredibly important because it shows international relations and contacts from almost 4,000 years ago.”

“It’s not Noah’s Ark, but it’s a painted base. And that’s good enough for me.”

I think there is enough solid evidence to support the idea that there was a great flood. Virtually all cultures refer to it in their cosmologies. That being so, it's not hard to imagine a man predicting it's coming and responding accordingly.

Social media stars under fire for flouting rules on advertising

Social media stars Jodie Marsh, Chloe Khan, Lucy Mecklenburgh and Chloe Ferry have been named and shamed by the UK advertising watchdog for repeatedly flouting social media advertising rules, and face being fined or having their posts deleted.

The Instagram stars have become the first influencers to be named on a dedicated roll call of offenders launched by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The ASA added that if they did not start to follow the rules, further sanctions could include online ads shaming them, the removal of their posts or financial penalties.

The ASA issued a final warning to 122 UK-based Instagram influencers in March, putting them on notice that they would face sanctions if they did not stick to rules regarding posts that promote products for brands.

Under the UK advertising code, promotional posts must clearly indicate that they are paid-for endorsements, typically using a hashtag such as #ad or #spon, short for advertising or sponsored.

The ASA was scathing in its assessment of the behaviour of the stars, who have appeared in shows including The Only Way is Essex, Geordie Shore and X Factor. It said they have repeatedly failed to disclose when their Instagram posts are in fact ads for third parties.

Others to fall foul of the ad rules include the former Love Island contestant Luke Mabbott and Zoë Sugg, a fashion and shopping blogger who has also written a novel, Girl Online.

In October, Instagram said it intended to crack down on social media influencers and celebrities in the UK who break rules regarding advertising disclosures, following an investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority.

Social media stars Jodie Marsh, Chloe Khan, Lucy Mecklenburgh and Chloe Ferry have been named and shamed by the UK advertising watchdog for repeatedly flouting social media advertising rules, and face being fined or having their posts deleted.

Jodie Marsh, Chloe Khan, Lucy Mecklenburgh et Chloe Ferry, ces célébrités des réseaux sociaux ont été pointées du doigt par l'autorité de surveillance de la publicité du Royaume-Uni (équivalent du BVP en France) pour avoir à plusieurs reprises enfreint les règles publicitaires sur les réseaux sociaux, risquant ainsi des amendes ou la suppression de leurs publications.

The Instagram stars have become the first influencers to be named on a dedicated roll call of offenders launched by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).

Ces stars d'Instagram sont devenues les premières influenceuses à figurer sur une liste spéciale de contrevenants publiée par l'Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).

The ASA added that if they did not start to follow the rules, further sanctions could include online ads shaming them, the removal of their posts or financial penalties.

L'ASA a tenu à préciser que si ces dernières ne commençaient pas à se conformer aux règles, d'autres sanctions pourraient prendre la forme de publicité en ligne mentionnant leur nom, le retrait de leurs publications et des pénalités financières.

The ASA issued a final warning to 122 UK-based Instagram influencers in March, putting them on notice that they would face sanctions if they did not stick to rules regarding posts that promote products for brands.

L'ASA a adressé en mars dernier une dernière mise en demeure à 122 influenceurs /euses qui officient sur Instagram depuis le Royaume-Uni, les informant qu'ils / elles encouraient des sanctions s'ils / si elles ne respectaient pas les règles concernant les publications qui font la promotion de produits pour des marques.

Under the UK advertising code, promotional posts must clearly indicate that they are paid-for endorsements, typically using a hashtag such as #ad or #spon, short for advertising or sponsored.

D'après le code publicitaire britannique, les publications promotionnelles doivent clairement stipuler qu'elles sont faites contre rémunération, et utiliser systématiquement le hashtag «ad » ou « spon » qui sont les diminutifs de « advertising » et de « sponsor ».

The ASA was scathing in its assessment of the behaviour of the stars, who have appeared in shows including The Only Way is Essex, Geordie Shore and X Factor.

L'ASA s'est montrée virulente dans son analyse du comportement des célébrités qui ont fait des apparitions dans des émissions télévisées comme The Only Way is Essex, Geordie Shore et X Factor.

It said they have repeatedly failed to disclose when their Instagram posts are in fact ads for third parties.

Elle a ajouté qu'à plusieurs reprises, elles n'avaient pas fait état que leurs publications sur Instagram étaient en réalité des publicités pour des entreprises tierces.

Others to fall foul of the ad rules include the former Love Island contestant Luke Mabbott and Zoë Sugg, a fashion and shopping blogger who has also written a novel, Girl Online.

Parmi les autres personnes qui n'ont pas respecté les règles sur la publicité, citons Luke Mabbot, l'ancien candidat de Love Island et Zoë Sugg, une bloggeuse mode et shopping qui a également écrit un roman intitulé Girl Online.

In October, Instagram said it intended to crack down on social media influencers and celebrities in the UK who break rules regarding advertising disclosures, following an investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority.

En octobre dernier, Instagram a annoncé qu'il prévoyait de prendre des mesures fortes à l'encontre des influenceurs /euses et des célébrités des réseaux sociaux au Royaume-Uni qui enfreignent les règles relatives aux publications à contenu publicitaire, suite à une enquête diligentée par l'Autorité de la Concurrence et des Marchés (Competition and Markets Authority).

Jodie Harris Wilson it was interesting to watch the RNC. The first thing they did is pray to God. Throughout the whole RNC they praised God. In watching the DNC the first thing they did is spout hate. The only time they mentioned God was at an ending “God bless America “ and it was rarely said. When it was said it was in a disingenuous way…I know I’m supposed to say this but I don’t believe it kind of way. Look at the actions and do your research. Compare it with the Bible and it is clear.

Mark 8:34-9:1 speaks to giving up ourselves if we want to follow Him. So don’t follow the current culture, wanting to put our rights first if it is outside of the Word of God.

Following the culture of today which is against God’s word is selling our soul to the Devil.

Romans 12:1-2

2: And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
