Territory Status: Day 15
Super Earth forces have reclaimed Cirrus before the bugs could use it as a staging ground to assault Moradesh, and Acamar IV is nearly liberated as well. Well done, troopers! Overall, the Helldivers' efforts to contain the Terminid threat exceed expectations. This comes at a cost, however, as the Automaton front remains in disarray, with all contested planets except Vernen Wells remaining in critical condition, and Vernen is dropping ever so slightly by the day. Without reinforcements, the stalwart soldiers already on the surface will never push back.
In a surprising twist, Terminid reproduction rates have slowed to a crawl across all systems, so low in fact that they can only hold existing ground. Any ground taken by the SEAF will be easy to hold.
That should be all for today. Apologies for the delay! Most of the Super Destroyer staff we relied on as informants were undergoing maintenance, forcing us to take longer corroborating claims by ourselves. This is Michael Adams, signing off for the time being. Give 'em Hell, DIvers!

Desided to wander around, looking at all the gifts one can give the THH cast and just... this.
I must expel my thoughts now cus I got a good amount of stuff to type! First, I wonder what this game would actually be like if it was real so I could figure out what exact things Leon, Celeste, and Chirhiro like about it. Cus, the description is lowkey giving Zombie America's Next Top Model and I am dying T-T It's probably not that but I can't help it. It's too goofy for me to just pass on up! Like, the pixel lady on the cover just looks like Tyra Banks to me for some reason! I think these little pixels are making me go crazy though at the same time, ANTM PREDATES the release of Danganronpa so there COULD be a possibility that MAYBE-
Cutting myself off there. I'm losing it. ... AHEM, anyway, I'm guessing that like, Leon loves the game for the girls and the gory zombies, maybe the gameplay too. He seems like a gamer type. Celeste probably likes it for the fashion perhaps the power dynamic of playing as a badass model sticking it to the zombies. She is also a gamer cus I say so and all the THH characters accept the Funplane so one could argue that they are all gamers. As for Chihiro, minus the gamer thing, I can see the intrige on the game coming for liking it on the tecnical side. Like, Chihiro likes the game due to it being limited due to it being out of print. Maybe being into the history and the tech of it. Gosh. Now I'm imagining Chihiro as a game modder and I am LOVING that! Both for the games itself and for the hardware as well. But anyway, I'm just imagining these three being like this at the same time and now I wish to one day draw these three legitimately playing this game together cus I dunno. It's oddly wholesome. Or, if I ever got better at group pictures, maybe a drawing of the whole cast watching them in action or trying out the game themselves and getting absolutely annihilated. Golly, that is so cute. For now though, this is all I got.
This is the first thing I thought of anyway. They looks so goofy and smug. Like, I get it guys! I can't be as cool as you (ಥ﹏ಥ)
#danganronpa#danganronpa art#danganronpa fanart#danganronpa leon#leon kuwata#danganronpa celestia#celestia ludenberg#danganronpa chihiro#chihiro fujisaki#shitpost#i really need to just look at all the gifts at some point#one at a time and just blabber about them#also the more i look at the doodly celeste i drew the more she's oddly reminding me of poptropica and i don't even have nostalgia for that#and the best part is that i'm wrong about that cus barely looks like a poptropica character and shoot i need to stop typing#too many tangents for this hour of the day#i hope my lack of sense here was entertaining :)))#text sector

Decided to start reading Triangle by Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath and BOY are we off to a good start.
The prologue alone has:
A sector of space the Humans call “The Marie Celeste Sector” because of all the small ships that disappear there.
Starfleet’s Chief of Staff assigning the Enterprise to a diplomatic mission: “And it is still old fashioned love among solitary beings which keeps my ships going. I will give you the Enterprise, where you may learn something extraordinary about that. Then tell me whether love, or Oneness, will keep us in the stars.”
THE AMBASSADOR QUOTES FROM JOB “have you considered my servant Job?”
Then the ambassador accepts passage under “the usual terms and conditions…That I may take his soul.”
Spooky space, and basically a guarantee that the Enterprise is going to be tested unto destruction/despair, given the Job reference.
#star trek tos#star trek novels#triangle#sondra marshak#myra culbreath#i have a bad feeling about this#also I am irked that the spooky space sector is named after the Marie Celeste which famously did NOT disappear#is the Bermuda Triangle copyrighted?

Narrator: Claire also loves a good family round up, with the year she's had she must tell everyone all about it. The lady has finally married off her on-the-shelf daughter AND has 5 grandbabies about to join the family in the coming new year - the world must know.
Text under the cut!
Hi all, Claire here!
This past year has been full of examples of the Lord’s everlasting goodness, and we are so undeserving but nevertheless grateful! The Lord has seen it fit to bless us in so many ways! If I sit here and start writing them down this might be hundreds of pages long, so I’m going to tell you about a few.
This year has been filled with homeschooling, homemaking, and music - lots and lots of music. Conner and Jarrett graduate high school this spring, bringing an end to 27 years of homeschooling for me. How time has flown! They’ve grown into such wonderful young men and it makes this mama’s heart proud to see the men they’re going to continue to grow into! 27 years ago little Carter was my only student, with the rest of the kids following suit as they grew. At it’s peak I had 8/10 kids actively being taught, that season of life was organised chaos, but leaning on the Lord brought us all out the other side to praise him for his goodness.
This year has also been full of babies! This summer Kristyn gave birth to her second child, a boy she and Gregory named Wyatt. Wyatt joins older sister Kayla (2) and the happy parents at their home in Oasis Springs where they all joyfully serve the Lord as a family.
On the heels of her sister’s birth announcement, Sabrina and Tucker announced to to us that they’re expecting another blessing next spring! This baby shall join older brother Campbell (1) and is already so loved!
Almost a few weeks after the above announcement, Alan and his wife Tessa announced that they’re expecting and that its twins! These babies will be joining the family in the spring, soon after their cousin.
Not to be outdone by his siblings, Jarrod and Madison also announced that they’re expecting twins! I could’ve fainted right then and there! This makes 5 new grandbabies on the way in the new year!
The Lord has blessed the music ministry at Newcrest Baptist, we’ve had the pleasure to host music camps yearly where we’ve helped many to learn how to use music to praise the Lord. Our church choir has a travelling sector that will be invited to sing at various revivals, camp meetings, and hymn sings, so it’s been such an enriching time travelling with them and getting to sing the Lord’s praises.
Our family has been growing in more ways than one! Earlier this year Celeste met a young man named Reid Robbins. Reid comes from a Godly family in Northbury that we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. Their relationship has been written by the Lord from the very beginning, they grew their friendship by challenging each other in their individual walks with the Lord, where soon after they started praying about each other. Soon after Reid was at our door asking to court our daughter! They’ve been such wonderful examples of respecting your parents and glorifying the Lord. Parents, let this be an example to show that raising your children in the way of the Lord is always the right way! We closed out the year celebrating their union in marriage with the Lord’s blessings, how great it is to see our children be joined in holy matrimony with the one that the Lord has for them! As we enter this new year, my the Lord bless and keep you all in his eternal memory!
Love,
Claire for the Paulsons
#fundie sims#fundiesims#quiverfull sims#collins family#quiver full sims#modest sims#sims 4 legacy#collins legacy#homeschool sims#gen 2#gen 3#gen 4#post#this was thankfully much shorter#a proper round up#the highlight of this is the 5 new grandchildren on the way for claire#she even forgot to mention the courtship but its fine she'll let simbook know when they're engaged.

'Cause maybe you wanna just jump in at Season 3 and that's okay too. So, here's a quick synopsis of seasons one and two for each major character. Spoilers below!
Lykaia is a dark fantasy series that stems from one of my gameplay saves. Content warnings can be found here. Season 1 was just meant as a means for me to practice filmmaking. It wasn't too lore heavy or thought out. Somehow it's developed into this. I've made everything up as I've gone. Only taking a real shot at writing a script during season 2.
SEASON 3 OF LYKAIA PREMIERES ON YOUTUBE APRIL 5TH
IMOGEN SUMNER: Quiet and somewhat psychic Imogen moves to Copperdale after her eccentric grandmother dies. She finds out her childhood best friend, Lou, is a lycan. The girl Lou was pursuing prior to Imogen moving to Copperdale, Eloise Tinsley, comes from a family of hunters who take over the town with the help of the mayor. Imogen and Lou develop romantic feelings for one another. The two begin dating the following summer. Lou marks Imogen claiming her as his mate. Imogen helps Lou and his friends (who are also his pack mates) move out of Copperdale to San Francisco once the former becomes too unsafe for them to live in. Season 2 Imogen struggles with fully integrating into the friend group, but ultimately does so successfully. Lou and Imogen quietly get engaged. She aids Lou in helping him find his dad. Upon helping Lou meet his father, Imogen meets her great aunt, the oracle Dodona. Imogen finds out Hattie died after passing her abilities onto Imogen.
LOU HOWELL: Lou is the only child of a physically abusive and neglectful single mother. He was often left to roam outside on his on. This habit is what led to him meeting Imogen. Lou had no knowledge of him being a lycan prior to the first time he shifted as his mother hid it from him. The summer he turned was the same summer that Imogen's grandmother Hattie died. After his first shift his mother kicked him out. With no guidance and no where to go his friends brought him to Rory. Rory took him in and trained him to control his shift. Lou had feelings for Imogen prior to her moving to Copperdale and quickly became enamored with her after her move. In season 2, Lou becomes extremely attached to Imogen and begins to neglect his other friendships. This causes a rift between him and Owen specifically. Lou also decides to search for his father during this time. At the end of season 2, Lou's relationships are mended and he finally meets his father and older sister.
RORY OAKLOW: Rory runs and lives on a campsite in Copperdale that's home to several in-need lycans. She reluctantly decides to take Lou in after he's brought to her by Savannah, William, and Owen. Eventually she comes to think of him as her younger brother. Ultimately, she's pushed out by Eloise Tinsley's family business, Aconitum, as they bulldoze the campsite in order to erect a warehouse for their company. Imogen's family provides Rory with a place to stay. She refuses to be pushed out of Copperdale and bolsters her strength by having her mate, Ceres, join her pack. Pissed off by the events that transpired, Rory digs into Aconitum's dealings by breaking into the mayor's office and stealing sensitive documents. This event ultimately leads to this sector of Aconitum's downfall in season 2. After Ceres' pack is killed, Rory and Ceres get injured during a night out, Rory decides it's too unsafe to stay in Copperdale and moves to SF. The two decide to marry upon moving to SF. In season 2, Rory and Ceres' relationship is turbulent due to his meddlesome sister, Celeste. Rory moves in with Imogen's cousin and Savannah's current girlfriend, Kaila. Ceres and Rory break up briefly but ultimately get back together. Rory steals Kaila from Savannah and enters into a polyamorous relationship with the two. Rory's family comes to visit for the holidays and her mom decides to move to California to be closer to her and her father, whom she has a horrible relationship, does as well. By S2's end, Ceres and Rory marry. The pair are still with Kaila.
OWEN ELLISON: Owen is a background character for the better part of season 1. He plays the role of Lou's loud best friend who will sleep with anything in a mini skirt. He's also the reason Lou shifted early after playfully knocking him off the pier during a full moon. In S1 Owen joins Rory's pack and she takes him through ritual so he is fully able to shift. In season 2, Owen and Lou's friendships becomes strained after Owen develops on a crush on Imogen. He also becomes angry with Lou for the amount of time he spends with Imogen. Mistaking his jealousy as a genuine dislike for the new Lou. Ultimately, Owen comes to terms his feelings and recognizes he in fact is attracted to Lou and not Imogen. He's able to mend his friendship with Lou and Imogen after the realization and begins exploring his sexuality. At the end of S2, Imogen introduces Owen to her new friend, Grey.
SAVANNAH ROBINSON: Savannah also plays a background character for the better part of season 1. She becomes significant when she starts dating Eloise Tinsley as a means to get information out of her. However, Savannah does have genuine feelings for Eloise as they briefly dated prior to Eloise pursuing Lou. Savannah is the catalyst in Eloise's decision to disrupt Aconitum. In S2, Savannah discovers that Eloise tried to rekindle a relationship with Lou while they were together and the pair break up for good. In an attempt to cheer her up, Imogen hooks Savannah up with her cousin, Kaila. Still hurt by the events that transpired, she briefly has a squabble with Imogen after becoming annoyed with her relationship with Lou. The two make up quickly. After Rory moves in with Kaila, Rory tells Savannah of her interest in Kaila. The two briefly compete for Kaila's affection, leading to Kaila cheating on Savannah, but the two split amicably as Savannah decides Kaila isn't worth the effort. By S2's end, Savannah and Eloise mend their friendship and she tricks her friend group into going to visit her. Upon her arrival in Redwater, Savannah meets Eloise's current fling Savannah. Sensing chemistry between each other they decide to remain in contact without Eloise's knowledge.
WILLIAM ROBINSON: William also plays a background character in season 1 and most of season 2. He is the most unproblematic of the group, only getting involved to mediate Owen and Lou's squabble and to support his twin sister, Savannah. In season 1, Will joins Rory's pack and she also takes him through ritual so he is able to shift. (Though Savannah is his twin, female lycans mature faster than males. They're usually able to shift by age 13 while males cannot shift until 20 or so.) In season 2, William is busy happily living in SF. He begins seriously dating another lycan, Indiyah Atwood, while his sister and friends are busy with their drama. By S2's end, William decides to take his relationship a step further with Indiyah and take her as a mate.
ELOISE TINSLEY: In season 1, Eloise attempts to date Lou and is ultimately turned down and dropped when Imogen comes to town. Out of disdain for her and Lou, she doesn't tell him about her father's plans to take over the campsite. Shunned by the friend group for this, Eloise decides she wants to ruin her father's business. By S1's end, Eloise becomes a full fledged hunter and joins her father on his endeavor to alleviate Copperdale of it's lycan problem. Though Eloise has ulterior motives the entire time and only wishes to see how the company works in order to sabotage it later. In season 2, with most of the lycans gone from Copperdale, Aconitum begins to fail. This causes a severe rift between her father and Mayor Tarentino. Eloise influences her father to question her grandfather's capabilities in deciding how profitable a sector is going to be. After going away to college and dating a new guy, Eloise decides it's time to report her father and Tarentino to the feds. Eventually an investigation transpires which forces Copperdale's mayor to step down and Eloise's father to shut down his sector. Eloise's grandfather, Arenthal, joins them in Copperdale to help fix the situation. After pissing off the mayor, Eloise's family is forced into hiding and they move to Redwater, Texas. By S2's end, Eloise has to rescue her father and her mother from Mayor Tarentino and his partner, Vasily. Eloise is only able to save her father in time and her mother is killed. She develops a close friendship with AJ, Lou's sister, and the two move in together. Though their friendship is disrupted when Lou and Imogen come to town.

Chapter 6 - Excerpt 3
Author's note: *evil laughing*
x
Tyler James
It was chaos. Everywhere.
Celeste Grainge stood at the stage and surveyed the situation before her keenly as Hunters jumped up, and, roguish creatures that they were, crowded over the back exit to chase after the real rogues.
I turned in my seat to see what it was they were doing; there was a lot of pushing and struggling, I could make out that much, but nothing besides. They didn’t even need orders to make chase after the escapees, I noticed with some discomfort.
It was the red of the walls, I decided. Red was a very triggering colour, and could instill an end number of things in people. Bravery, passion, love. War, violence, hate. Two sides of the same coin. The impact things like these could have was often looked over, and some people would scoff at those who thought that way.
The same ones that were currently and rather unfortunately trying to break down the walls trying to get after their precious ‘Rogues’.
I hope they get away, I thought.
They won’t get away, I remembered.
I remembered Desiree as well, how frightened she’d been as she’d followed her company out. Understandable really, considering the friends she kept. But who was I to judge? She was my friend too, and I could somehow never seem to do more for her.
I got up then and resolved to assist in the infirmaries. Hunters would be needing their shots, I reminded myself, and I’d best be useful. Useful was the only thing that let you make a place for yourself in the Chambers. And that was the only thing that mattered, if you didn’t want to starve. Have a little patch of yourself on the red tapestry that was Knightville’s Chambers. You could be brilliant, you could be better than the rest, but if you weren’t useful, you were deadweight.
Now, that wasn’t to say I didn’t love my job here, as a Healer, in the Chambers. It was one of the better job oppurtunities anyone could get really, healing. You had to study extremely hard for it, sure, and very few actually made it to the Healing sector (there are only hundreds of us), but if you did, you were set for life. And so what if the Seconds were terrible, and you could never get many friends amongst the Thirds? It was a question of adaptation, really. Adaptation was a requirement for all species of life, and not even Diaforians were above that, much as they’d like to believe otherwise.
My step quickened as the shouts grew louder, even as I left the warfield and arrived at the sanatorium.
It was a lovely place; the receptionist area was wide and high like the auditorium, but mostly blue, quiet and always smelling clean. The windows were wide and tall and touched both floor and ceiling, so as to better recieve the little light we could never seem to get. It was a place where you could wait for something to happen to you.
At least, that’s what the dreamer part of me thought.
The practical Healer part of me, on the other hand, was wondering if my eyes were functioning correctly, or if Adam Forrest of all people was standing in front of the receptionist’s desk of the Healers’ sanatorium.
“Mr. Forrest? What are you doing here?” I blurted, forgetting my manners in my obvious surprise.
“Thorne,” Adam regarded, turning to see me.
I prefer Tyler James, I almost said. Almost. No one cared about what you preferred in the Chambers.
I nodded.
Adam evaded my question. “Come to make yourself useful?” He asked instead.
Have you? I thought. “Quite,” I said.
“Going to the same place then,” Adam said lightly.
So good at pretending, I thought, but didn’t say. There were so many things that I thought of but never said. External restraint was never a problem, however, and in my mind, I could do whatever I liked. There were no mind-readers in Knightville, anyway, and in Adam’s case, his power was oral manipulation, the ability to have anyone do what he said with his voice alone, so it was hardly a problem. And if there was ever any danger of getting any truth out of me if he was authoritarian enough—well, there wasn’t, because Adam was powerful, both in his position at the Chambers and his own magic, and when you were that powerful, you inevitably became at least somewhat arrogant.
And when you’re arrogant, you think you know everything.
I raised an eyebrow. “The same place?”
His eyes were full of meaning. “Yes,” he said.
Oh, I realised. He wants to go there.
I stopped the smile before it could tug on my lips.
People walked around us. Some even stopped in their tracks for a moment to stare at our interaction. What was the famous, handsome, successful Adam Forrest doing here? they thought. Moreover, what was he doing talking to that what’s-his-name nobody from Third? Surely Adam was having him run an errand. He didn’t keep company like that, ever.
Oh, yes, I meant what I thought. Adam Forrest was tall and good-looking in the way that had all the women sighing in absolute mourning that they could never have him, because he was already married—to his job. He had gleaming black hair and eyes that struck ferociously with his pale skin, and his face structure only made it pop more. He was neat and sharp and always smelt clean. He And it wasn’t just his looks either. He was young success. He was hard, no, he was impossible to get. He was everything a lady could ever want and thirst for, and while I had a great deal of respect for the female species, I couldn’t help but think that some of them had absolutely nothing better to do with their time, judging from all the gossip I heard.
But at the end of the day, it didn’t matter how worthy a woman was, or how much she may have fitted Adam’s taste, or how much she may have loved him. It didn’t matter, and it probably never would.
The door was locked and we were alone. We’d checked and double-checked for good measure. My back was against the wall and Adam had pushed me there. Our hands were on each other and we were kissing.
Have you ever had a secret so well hidden, so in the dark, that when you walked back into the light you almost believed it had all been a dream?
“Someone’s impatient,” I commented idly when Adam finally let go of me, both of us out of breath.
“No one was here,” Adam explained. “I probably wouldn’t get to do this all week by the looks of things, so now seemed like a pretty good time to do it.”
“Practical as always,” I huffed into his ear, shaking my head a little.
He frowned at that a little, but then seemed to decide he’d gotten enough oxygen in his system to go right back to kissing me, and did precisely that.
Make no mistake, there were no feelings lost on us, romantic or otherwise. The only thing that brought us together was the secret that we shared, a necessity of sorts. One secret was all it took to keep coming back to this, to the dark room where we left our reality and responsibilities outside the door, only to reclaim them again when we came back out.
That said, I had no illusions that this—this lover affair of ours—would last in any way. It would probably only make the year, tops. Secrets could do a lot of things, but they couldn’t sustain. Secrets ruined, and this relationship of ours was built to be secret, and that secret would one day die, like everything ultimately did.
Still. Didn’t mean I couldn’t enjoy it while it lasted, and Adam was, actually, not the worst kisser.
“Why now, though?” I asked, like I always did.
“Can’t I want to?” he answered, like he always did.
And we went back to kissing again, like we always did.
Adam left first, because he had more pressing issues to deal with, and because we needed to be inconspicuous. I didn’t mind staying in the dark room for a little while longer; that way I could hold onto the remembrance of what we had but would never get to keep.
It didn’t hurt—it just took the comfort away, and most people didn’t get to have that.
On the outside, I immediately heard someone bumping into Adam. There was a lot of loud panting, and Adam was waiting patiently for the other person to speak.
“Slow down, Third,” Adam was saying. “What is it? Any update on the Rogues?”
What the person replied was both dread and comfort.
“They got away.”

I am trying so hard to make this top look somewhat reasonable… ;u;
The leggings and shoes are optional, but I particularly like those shoes because the bottom and heel section dyes, so you get a flash of green/blue when running that matches the glowing sash.

Gaming The Mind
Who they are?
They are a dedicated charity that champions mental health within the video gaming community whos goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for gamers. They also aim to enhance mental health awareness and support throughout video games.
What did they do?
"1. Donating Consoles and Games to Mental Health Units
We recognize the therapeutic potential of video games. Our charity donates consoles and games to hospitals and mental health units, providing patients with a source of joy, distraction, and cognitive engagement. By encouraging integration of gaming into therapeutic practices, we help patients find comfort and a sense of normalcy during their recovery journey.
2. Research into Games and Mental Health
Understanding the intricate relationship between gaming and mental health is crucial. We actively participate in research initiatives to explore how video games can impact mental well-being. Our collaborations with academic institutions and mental health professionals aim to uncover valuable insights and develop evidence-based strategies for using games as a positive mental health tool.
3. Consultation with Game Developers
Representation matters. We consult with game developers to ensure sensitive and accurate depictions of mental health issues in their games. By providing guidance on narrative and character development, we aim to foster a more empathetic and informed portrayal of mental illness, helping to reduce stigma and promote understanding within the gaming community.
4. Running Quiet Rooms at Fan Conventions
Large fan conventions can be overwhelming. That’s why we run the “Reset Room” – a dedicated quiet space designed to support individuals seeking a moment of peace and relaxation amidst the hustle and bustle. These rooms provide a sanctuary for attendees to decompress, reducing anxiety and promoting mental well-being during these high-energy events.
5. Delivering Education on Mental Health and Gaming
Education is key to promoting mental well-being. We deliver comprehensive education on mental health issues related to gaming and overall mental well-being to various sectors, including the gaming industry, healthcare professionals, and the general public. Through talks, media appearances, articles, and podcasts, we spread awareness and knowledge, empowering individuals and communities to understand and address mental health challenges in the gaming world."
So we had a talk with Dr Arumuham from Gaming The Mind who went over who they are and what they do; as well as going through how mental health is represented in games. With examples like Celeste and Dark Souls, that are very trial and error based and give you a sense of accomplishment.
I also learnt that 1 in 10 games feature some kind of link to mental health (which I thought was a lot higher) and that 75% of these games portray mental health negatively.

Un informe de la agencia de meteorología advierte sobre la creciente escasez y estrés de los recursos hídricos mundiales, también América Latina, lo que se traduce en menos agua disponible para las comunidades, la agricultura y los ecosistemas. A raíz del aumento de las temperaturas, el ciclo hidrológico se ha acelerado, lo que lo ha vuelto más irregular e impredecible. El agua se convierte en el canario en la mina del cambio climático. Un informe de la Organización Meteorológica Mundial (OMM) publicado este lunes pone de relieve la creciente escasez y estrés que afecta a los recursos hídricos mundiales y advierte que el año 2023 fue el más seco para los ríos de todo el mundo en más de tres decenios. Además, en los últimos cinco años consecutivos, los flujos fluviales han sido muy inferiores a los normales, y los flujos de entrada a los embalses han seguido una pauta similar. Según el documento Estado de los recursos hídricos mundiales, esta situación reduce la cantidad de agua disponible para las comunidades, la agricultura y los ecosistemas, lo que ejerce una mayor presión sobre el abastecimiento mundial de agua. Por otra parte, en los últimos 50 años, los glaciares sufrieron la mayor pérdida de masa registrada hasta la fecha. 2023 fue el segundo año consecutivo en el que todas las regiones del mundo que cuentan con glaciares experimentaron pérdidas de hielo. De esa forma, el ciclo del agua se está conviertiendo en el canario que avisa del peligro en la mina del cambio climático. Precipitaciones y sequías cada vez más extremas Dado que 2023 fue el año más cálido del que se tiene constancia, las elevadas temperaturas contribuyeron a prolongar las sequías. No obstante, también se produjeron numerosas crecidas a nivel mundial. Los fenómenos hidrológicos extremos se vieron influidos por condiciones climáticas naturales, la transición de La Niña a El Niño a mediados de 2023, así como por el cambio climático inducido por el hombre. “Los recursos hídricos son un indicador de peligro del cambio climático. Recibimos llamadas de socorro en forma de precipitaciones, crecidas y sequías cada vez más extremas que se cobran numerosas vidas y perjudican gravemente a los ecosistemas y las economías. La fusión de la nieve y los glaciares pone en jaque la seguridad hídrica a largo plazo de muchos millones de personas. Y, sin embargo, no estamos adoptando las medidas urgentes necesarias”, declaró la secretaria general de la agencia. Celeste Saulo detalló que, a raíz del aumento de las temperaturas, el ciclo hidrológico se ha acelerado. “También se ha vuelto más irregular e impredecible, y nos enfrentamos a problemas crecientes de exceso o escasez de agua. Una atmósfera más cálida retiene más humedad, lo que favorece las precipitaciones intensas. La evaporación más rápida y la desecación de los suelos empeoran las condiciones de sequía”, afirmó. No podemos gestionar lo que no medimos “Y, a pesar de todo ello, es muy poco lo que se sabe sobre el verdadero estado de los recursos mundiales de agua dulce. No podemos gestionar lo que no medimos”, prosiguió Saulo, añadiendo que el informe pretende contribuir a mejorar el monitoreo, el intercambio de datos, la colaboración transfronteriza y las evaluaciones. “Es una necesidad urgente”. La serie de informes sobre el Estado de los recursos hídricos mundiales ofrece una visión global y coherente sobre ellos a nivel mundial. Se basa en las aportaciones de decenas de servicios meteorológicos e hidrológicos nacionales y de otras organizaciones y expertos. Su objetivo consiste en proporcionar información a las instancias decisorias de los sectores sensibles al agua y a los profesionales dedicados a la reducción de los riesgos de desastre, según indicó la OMM. Complementa la serie de la agencia meteorológica de la ONU sobre el estado del clima mundial Nueva información sobre los recursos El documento es el más completo hasta la fecha puesto que ofrece nueva información sobre lo...

Clean Beauty Market Size To Reach $21.29 Billion By 2030
The global clean beauty market size is anticipated to reach USD 21.29 billion by 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.8% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is driven by a rising consumer focus on the safety of skincare and beauty products, its environmental consequences, and the potential presence of harmful ingredients in beauty products. With a growing demand for natural alternatives, companies are shifting toward embracing "clean beauty" as the emerging standard in the beauty and personal care industry.
Social media platforms and beauty influencers play a significant role in promoting clean beauty products. The influence of beauty influencers is growing, with consumers increasingly relying on their expertise when making beauty product purchase decisions. Some notable clean beauty influencers include Justine Jenkins, Maison Pur, Celeste Thomas, Bare Beauty Blog by Jessica Morse, and Kabukirune.
The surge in environmental awareness leads to a rise in demand for sustainable beauty products, prompting bloggers to create niche channels focused on ethical, natural, and sustainable products. Sustainable beauty bloggers emphasize eco-friendly choices and feature non-toxic products in their content. Brands such as R.E.M Beauty, Ofra Cosmetics, Tata Harper, and Liz Earle Beauty Co are gaining popularity for their commitment to clean beauty. As consumers prioritize eco-friendly lifestyles, the market for clean beauty products will continue growing, offering diverse and ethical options.
The market for clean beauty products is expanding due to consumer perception that they are safer, of higher quality, and contain non-toxic ingredients compared to traditional ones. However, the lack of standardized definitions for terms like "clean," "natural," and "green" has triggered controversy, emphasizing the need for improved regulation and education in the industry.
The beauty sector has witnessed a significant shift toward sustainability in response to increased consumer awareness of the environmental impact of conventional products. This change is driven by many conscious consumers seeking transparency, ethical practices, and eco-friendly options. To meet this demand, companies are reevaluating formulations, incorporating natural and ethically sourced ingredients, and leveraging innovative technologies to create high-performance, environmentally friendly beauty products.

Men's demand for clean beauty products is projected to grow the most during the forecast period
Online sales are projected to grow fastest during the forecast period. The rapid growth in online sales of clean beauty products is driven by mass-market retailers, such as Walmart and Target, strategically expanding their product offerings in the clean beauty segment
North America dominated the market owing to factors such as increasing demand for natural skincare solutions, a shift towards sustainability, and the growing awareness regarding the impact of toxic compounds on skin and hair health

Major Order Victory: Day 19
Greetings, viewers. Michael Adams here. Today marks a momentous but solemn victory as the Helldivers have succeeded in deploying enough dark fluid onto Meridia in order to transform it and the supercolony of Terminids upon it into a deadly singularity.
While originally the Meridian hive consisted of ten times the number of bugs on a planet such as Erata Prime, SEAF forces and microbubble pockets of dark fluid accretion have cut down their numbers multiple times throughout the operation. As the final hours dragged on since our last update, when the Terminids were at only 24% strength, they fell yet again to 16%, then 9%. In the planet's final moments, resistance dropped to 0% as it succumbed to the overwhelming gravity of the accumulated dark fluid.
All nearby Super Destroyers were forced to make emergency jumps to Super Earth in order to avoid being consumed. Medals and congratulations have been awarded to all involved, including the Moradesh scientists who have received the Super Citizenship Medal of Freedom. Super Earth has decomissioned the Moradesh facility and claims all dark fluid reserves are exhausted. In our opinion, they've likely simply moved efforts and stores to another, more discrete location.
Even as we celebrate the destruction of one of humanity's biggest threats, we must also mourn the loss of Meridia, a home many citizens can never return to again. Where untold billions of years of natural history and thousands of unique species have been wiped from existence in a singular moment, we'll always wonder...was it truly necessary?
With Operation "Enduring Peace" complete, napalm reserves for Eagle-1 strikes have been exhausted to regular levels and Helldivers are now standing by for their next major order. Stay tuned for more.

la rueda celeste? Pq lo llamaron asi
Supongo que es raro para mi leer cosas de ficción, usualmente solo leo comics a veces, pero en su mayoría teoría y análisis, pq soy la autentica piroba nerda o algo. Siempre que pienso en eso, recuerdo ese clip que vi de cosmos donde Sagan dice que no importa la cantidad de libros que uno lea, que a la final es limitada, sino la calidad. Es importante para mí, antes de hablar de la historia que se acaba de hacer una de mis favoritas, anotar que me encuentro en una epoca rara de mi vida, en la que siento un profundo descontento con los medios, no solo la televisión, sino las redes sociales, los periodicos y bueno, aunque me duele admitirlo youtube, que es donde suelo pasar mas tiempo. Constantemente pienso en el concepto de la infoesfera, no logro recordar en donde lo leí, pero si recuerdo como han y fusaro lo utilizan para decribir a la sociedad hiperconectada y las implicaciones en una sociedad capitalista.
Las películas últimamente ya no me gustan, me sigo preguntando cuantas veces van a abusar de los clichés, cuantas veces van a acomodar la misma narrativa y supongo que tampoco paro de pensar en esas canciones de viejos deprimidos
"Aprendí que en esta vida hay que llorar si otros lloran, y si la murga se ríe, ji uno se debe reír; no pensar, ni equivocado, para qué?, si igual se vive, y además corres el riesgo que te bauticen gil"
-Las cuarenta
"Que el mundo fue y será una porquería, ya lo sé En el quinientos diez, y en el dos mil también Que siempre ha habido chorros, maquiavelos y estafaos Contentos y amargaos, valores y dobles
Pero que el siglo veinte es un despliegue De maldad insolente, ya no hay quien lo niegue Vivimos revolcaos en un merengue Y en el mismo lodo, hmm, todos manoseaos
Hoy resulta que es lo mismo ser derecho que traidor Ignorante, sabio o chorro, pretencioso o estafador Todo es igual, nada es mejor ¡Lo mismo un burro que un gran profesor! No hay aplazaos, qué va a haber, ni escalafón Los inmorales nos han igualao"
-Cambalache
No se en que creer porque todo pareciera ubicarse en extremos, todo parece construir una historia en la que no siento que quepa, donde la respuesta es siempre referente a los amigos que hicimos en el camino. Las cosas son rapidamente descartadas, rapidamente expuestas, analizadas y dejadas a un lado, todo es igual nada es mejor.
De nuevo pienso en la televisión como medio netamente informativo, pienso en el flujo frenético de las noticias que provoca de manera similar el efecto que provoca tiktok y por el cual todos parecen estar aterrados porque tal vez detrás de todo yace un enemigo abstracto difícil de atajar, el mundo parece ir muy rapido, cambiando y reiterandose cada semana. Pero tal vez esa es la narrativa dominante, que no requiere nisiquiera de grandes conspiraciones y pactos por debajo de cuerda, porque parece estar en la superficie.
Me siento perdida, me siento incapaz de vivir en la sociedad porque creo que todo parece ir muy rapido mientras yo siento mantenerme en el mismo punto.
Cada vez las historias que me daban emocion y me permitian imaginar mundos de infinitas posiblidades comienzan a causarme desagrado, un profundo desasociego, que es respondido por los sectores mas ruidosos de internet, como si pudieran instrumentalizar mi descontento para mostrarme que este sistema de creencias que he constituido desde mi mundo vivido fuera una falsedad que quiere destruir el todo poderoso continuum que inevitablemente se forma, se deforma y se reforma.
Y no se, honestamente no se nada y entre mas aprendo mas puedo ver que el mundo es un sistema indescifrable cuya complejidad me aplasta. pero quienes pueden hablar mas fuerte parecen tenerlo muy claro.
Creo que nada me gusta y me estoy volviendo loca mientras me peleo con gigantes invisibles. Le temo a terminar como Mark Fisher...
Pero bueno, afortunadamente estos dias alice capelle una vez mas llego a hablar desde su contexto de preocupaciones similares. eso y tambien descubri que francois dubet tambien esta hablando sobre esto, quizá me siento un poco mas tranquilo.
Eso y que leí por fin una novela de ursula k le guin, pq me andaba debiendo eso desde hace casi un año creo xd.
1970 The Lathe of Heaven lathe es torno al parecer pero lo tradujeron como rueda, creo que ya entendi xd
El punto es que hacia mucho una historia no me enganchaba tanto, desde el mundo extraño de orr como su pasado, su presente y su futuro. Tanto orr como Lelache, como haber parecen personas de verdad, con un mundo interno complejo y la mejor de las intenciones. Sin embargo parece que eso no es suficiente para lograr construir un mundo mejor, aún incluso con todo el poder que parece habitar en Orr.
supongo que lo que encuentro detrás de esa gran historia es la compañía y no como que la rueda celeste son los amigos que hicimos en el camino, sino como cada forma en la que encontramos compañía en los otros deforma la manera en que percibimos actuamos y habitamos la realidad ehrrperenne.
With a little help from my friends
En cuanto a la historia sin embargo me imagino que Orr habia intentado hacer un mundo mejor varias veces, lo que a la larga le llevo a tener esa posición menos voluntarista e ilustrada de hacer porque eso es lo que los humanos "DEBEMOS" si se nos es entregado un don. Por esa razon ahora unicamente intentaba no alterar el curso de las cosas.
Por otro lado Haber es un hijo del destino manifesto y siente que Orr es un idiota, que desaprovecha el don que le fue dado. Curiosamente la historia, incluyendo el tercer y tal vez mas importante pilar Lelache, se encarga de narrar y mostrar como ambos puntos son mucho mas complejos que el estar o no equivocados.
Orr no puede imaginar un mundo sin guerra y tal vez inconcientemente rogó en las sesiones por ayuda, la ayuda de sus amigos y entonces el peso que tuvo que cargar no fue mas grande. Orr nunca dejo de tener sueños efectivos, sencillamente alijeró la carga con la ayuda de otros.
Y haber que estaba creando un mundo a su imagen termino positivistamente loquito en un manicomio. Mientras tanto, lelache en su complejidad dejo de existir y reexistio varias veces como un recordatorio de la complejidad histórica en la que habitamos.
No puedo alinearme con ninguno, bueno quiza con los aliens, pero aun no termino de entender toda la historia
lo bueno es que al fin entendí que puedo encontrar calidad de historias fuera del cine
creo que lis se basó en este libro

Hello its mee, recently i have been meeting up with my friends, but i realised that i am quite lost in my career aspects on what i should do continuing for my career, and my school life i dont enjoy that is gonna start. I think its just environment and i feel like very isolated from my school friends? I think because in the past of the things, but i believe i have the power to change my present, so i just gonna continue to attend classes, and not getting affected by people so much, and really care more about my studies. Try to ace finish my studies, actually left 3 more months, it will fly in an eye bah. I just need to really focus on my classes and lessons. I think there are many things to be grateful for especially like my friends all they are here, like my gf jojo is being supportive, marcus, xavier, bobby, sufi, jj, weeping, celeste, shankar. I think is more than enough true friends that i have in my life that i need. And i dont have to doubt and just be myself from now on, i will just say whatever is on my mind and all. And then continue to go gym. Walk the trackmill and continue to lose some weight and also recently jojo bought me a pink gaming chair which i do feel grateful and happy about it. The present is actually making me much more happier than before. So i dont have to think so much and really live in the present.
And my school is starting soon, which is on monday i hope everythings good. Need to charge my ipad.
Then need to start doing my capstone soon. And i will try to get my driving license by this year, tomorrow i am going to driving circuit too, honestly tomorrow is like $116 per lesson quite expensive looool. But i will pass it. And i think for my career, i think i should not stress myself out and by july i will try to have an answer for myself in the career sector. I will put a deadline to it. Because i do not want myself to slack off too much for 1 year or smtg, i want it to be ok. Like at least rest for 2months+? then i will get back to work, because i scare i will drop back into being depresso. And what the fuck? My father say he will give each of us 300k? I dunno if it will happen anot, dunno he's lying or what by October 2024 we will know. And then the legal issue with AIA i think i will craft out a paragraph about it right now before anything happens. The next thing is, probably trying to earn some pocket money, as xavier also teached the options trading. Think can give it a go and try. For now my goal is to attend classes and score high for my studies at all times no matter what. Jiayous jenny. Hope u got friends that can support you too. - 4 May 2024

Ukraine Receives $95 Billion US Defense Aid
As the world marks two years of sustained support for Ukraine, the Pentagon's latest commitment underscores a stronger, more resilient defense strategy for the besieged nation. At the two-year anniversary of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, the U.S. solidifies its support with a historic $95 billion aid package, aiming to strengthen Ukraine's defenses against prolonged aggression.

Ukrainian War: Background and Context
In April 2022, the Ukraine Defense Contact Group was formed in response to the escalating conflict in Eastern Europe. Comprising around 50 nations, this coalition has met monthly to coordinate and boost Ukraine’s defense capabilities in the face of Russian hostilities. Moreover, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III, at the recent 21st meeting, emphasized the group's crucial role in rallying international support and streamlining the delivery of military aid. "I'm ... pleased to announce today an additional commitment of $6 billion through our Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative that will allow us to procure new capabilities for Ukraine from U.S. industry," Austin said during a briefing at the Pentagon. "This is the largest security assistance package that we've committed to date." Details of the New Security Assistance The new $95 billion package, signed into law this Wednesday, is the largest single assistance package to Ukraine to date. According to Secretary Austin, it includes advanced counter-drone systems, artillery ammunition, and air-to-ground munitions. Additionally, the package will provide maintenance, sustainment support, and crucial interceptors for Ukraine's Patriot and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS). Additional Security Measures and Support Alongside the USAI package, the Pentagon also unveiled a $1 billion security assistance initiative provided through presidential drawdown authority. This includes RIM-7 and AIM-9M missiles, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, TOW missiles, and a variety of artillery shells and combat vehicles. This immediate aid comes directly from U.S. military inventories, ensuring rapid deployment to the Ukrainian front lines.

Impact on Ukraine's Defense Posture
The combined efforts of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group have significantly bolstered Ukraine's military posture. Contributions from various countries have included not only the provision of military hardware but also support for rebuilding Ukraine's defense industry. This assistance has been instrumental in preserving Ukraine’s sovereignty and deterring further aggression. Future Objectives As the conflict enters its third year, the focus remains on not just immediate defense needs but also long-term stability and resilience. Special capability coalitions within the contact group are working to enhance Ukraine's defense sectors, including air defense, artillery, and unmanned aerial systems. These efforts are aligned with the broader goal of helping Ukraine build a robust, efficient, and self-reliant defense industry.
Brief Summary
The ongoing commitment of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, reinforced by America's substantial financial and military support, reflects a strong international stand for democracy and sovereignty. The continued support ensures Ukraine not only survives the current conflict but emerges stronger, ready to defend itself and deter future threats. Sources: THX News & US Department of Defense.
