I recently lost a friend to the darkness, so amidst of all the chaos and the mess and because it's still self harm awareness month as it is every year, I want to share a short story.

Once upon a time, I had a friend named Kitty. Kitty was one of the best artist friends anyone can have around and was a pillar of the groups I've been in for years. She came from the island of Anuta and liked to form her individuality by artistically turning pictures of oddly shaped clouds into things that those clouds are shaped like, as a way of challenging herself while getting recognition.

After six years of recognition, she found herself in a conflict, being she was accused of wrongly snagging other peoples' cloud pictures in order to turn the clouds into other things. She fiercely defended herself for a few days but after six days relented after the person invited others to participate in the criticism of her. Regretful, she deleted her presence and then made a new one, which was fitting since she also had a lot of very very NSFW content.

Despite this, people still recognized her from her face. Having surrendered at that point, she wanted to fix her image, to earn forgiveness. To do that, she offered one or more of three things: A) to change her ways B) to make amends C) to win favor

This, however, changed nothing. She tried doing everything that was told of her and it didn't change her social standing. She tried fulfilling commissions for free and it wouldn't work. It was like a trading game, she established what she wanted (forgiveness) and gave everyone the name-your-price tool. They put the price at ∞ and it from then on seemed like she was chasing rainbows. She was forever without her crowd.

I witnessed something devastating as this was going on. Forgiveness is tied to hope. People hope to be forgiven and forgiveness leads to hope. She could never repair what was lost and I saw someone slowly spiritually implode and crumble. Her very last work of art was the following Crucible meme.

Ruined by the fact she could not repair what was lost, she realized she had nothing to lose and acted like a wreck for an additional few years, which was in stark contrast to her cheery, diplomatic self she was trying to be when she thought she could try to restore herself in her community. She reasoned, if someone could only be hated by those she cared about having good relations with when she's good and only hated when she's bad, why try to be anything aside from how she wants to be (as opposed to someone who strives based on what is fair)? It's how the ring of gyges works. This may be why some people were known to make friends specifically with the friendless, even when they were buttholes to other people, to be a new light for those in the dark, but alas, where are those lights now?

Her very few friends (two of us, but sometimes that feels empty when nothing happens) would later try to forget about it, saying we consider ourselves satisfied in the conflict, enough to "amount to winning", but her critics would say they won, having eventually chased her off after much destruction caused by her. This is, however, despite the fact those critics still rage about her, an aspect that, as a side note, I had an enlightening conversation with AI about yesterday, inspired by the trend.

Like I said, a trading game. If two sides believe they have won, which implies the two sides believe an interaction was worth it, how is that different from a regular trade of favors or goods? Except... exchanges like this aren't any where both sides act like it's worth it, if it's one where one side is genuinely striving for interpersonal tranquility while the other is willing to complain or throw stones or whatever you call it for years long after they claim the victory happened (for why send soldiers where there is no war), sometimes projecting while they're at it as if anyone in their audience doesn't see through the slandering or slurring for that reason, as if they're in mourning or can never be at peace based on their constant rambles. That's how you know they're, by definition, losers.

So this is what Hell is like, a group of people who sense they live a self-defeating way of living but are silenced from reaching their hand out by their habit of bragging about what's not worth bragging about while bringing everything down with them.

Now let us get the origin of the 4 Market days in Igbo Tradition. The 4 market days comprises the EKE, ORIE, AFOR and Nkwo who is the last born child, they were originated from NRI during the region of Eze Nrijiofor 1 (1300-1390 AD) and the Fifth on the chronology of the Nri traditional throne or Succession. During this period, 4 wise men visited the palace of Eze nrijiofor and pretended to be deaf and dump and never said their names nether their mission to the palace on arrival, each came with Nkata which literally means Basket, they were taken to the visitors chamber by the Adamma who was the king's servant, later in the evening, the Eze Nrijiofor went to see them but they didn't respond warmly to him and also didn't acknowledge his greetings. Oji (kolanut) was presented to them but they didn't alter a word in acceptance or rejection of the kolanut (oji), late in the night, Eze nrijiofor 's soothsayer sent a rat to disturbed their sleep when the rat went to the first basket belonged to EKE and started to nibble at it, Orie woke up and called " EKE wake up! A rat is trying to get your basket" eventually, EKE woke up the rat ran away, the rat repeated the trickish manner to other baskets to ascertain their names "Anuta Akara Eze". In the morning, Eze nrijiofor went to them and started performing the Oji ututu on that process, he mentioned their names by saying Eke taa oji, Orie taa Oji, Afor taa Oji and Nkwo taa Oji respectively, the visitors who were referred to as "Ndi biala eji ekwu okwu" were astonished and request for water to wash their hands and faces and accepted the kolanut offered by Eze Nrijiofor, after chewing the kolanut, they brought out ITE Ano ( four earth pots) to the king and directed him to keep them in front of NRI MENRI SHRINE outside the Obi or Obu (Palace) with each pot facing the Sun raise, EKE who was the spokesman told Eze Nrijiofor 1, that the pots were Sent down from Chukwu (God Almighty) He instructed Eze Nrijiofor and His people whom he ruled to observed those names daily as market days, during which they will be buying and selling. These market days are used in Igbo land to count IZU (Igbo native week) these four market days marks one Izu (1 week) in Igbo Calender. Tanks for hearing this history, I love u all.

EPISODE 6

“Ijeoma, are you stupid? I thought you are wise! Ekene shouted.

“These rich people are all intimidating, besides I was rude to him in the first place”, Ijeoma answered.

“And you thought the best thing to do was to leave that job. You just have two days left to get paid. Aunty Anuri will be disappointed if she heard this. She allowed you to stand in for her so that you can get something for your going back to school”, Ekene reminded.

“You won’t understand Ekene, I was rude to him the first day I met him at Anuta restaurant, his mother is so strict. I mean they are powerful rich people. That woman speak highly of his son…”

“Ijeoma, why are you speaking like a child. Your explanations is irrelevant. What this woman promised to pay you just for a week is half of your school fees and you abandoned it after working for five days because you met her son. Wait, are you not telling me something?

“Ekene, I will explain to Aunty Anuri. I can’t stay there anymore”.

“That is your business Ijeoma, the clock is ticking. I can see you don’t want to go back to school”, Ekene said.

Ijeoma shrugged.

————————————————————————-

“Son, you called me. I thought you’ve gone to sleep? Ma Gladys asked while sitting down.

“Not yet, Mother”, Collins replied.

“What keeps the lion awake then? she asked smiling.

“I found her”. I found the one my heart skips for, Collins said, softly.

“Wow!!, Ma Gladys shouted.

Where? how? When?

“I was surprised Mother, I went to pick a file from the house. Princess told me the cleaner kept it elsewhere while cleaning the sitting room. I went to ask the cleaner for it. Lo, she is the one. I don’t even know how to feel. Few hours ago, I was searching for her all over the place. I feel like I am dreaming!

Ma Gladys burst into laughter.

“My boy is truly in love! This is really beautiful. Mom will be very happy to hear this. Is she the new cleaner?

“I was with Mom when the cleaner asked for her permission to go and take care of her sick mother in the village. She promised to bring somebody to stand in for her. I guess she is the one.

“This is divine, Son. Hope you spoke with her?

“She was reluctant to tell me much about her,

but I know where she lives now. Mom interrupted our discussion and I had to leave. I will tell her about it some other time”, Collins said smiling.

“I’m glad you found her after twenty seven years of searching” Ma Gladys said and they burst into laughter.

“Son, tell me more about this girl”.

Collins gradually lower his coffee cup, as his face beamed with smiles. Ma Gladys watch him, she knew this mysterious girl has won. She listened attentively as Collins begin to speak.

————————————————————————-

“I don’t like you”, Ijeoma snapped.

Collins was taken aback. He found it ridiculous that despite the fact that some women make advances to him, this particular one is different.

“Why?

“You are all deceivers, cheats, and ungrateful. You all said the same thing but does different things. I have learnt to mind my business”.

“Ije…oma”, Collins called, moving closer to her but she eyed him and step back. The way he called her set her heart pounding, she knew she had not been called that way before but she refused to be persuaded.

“Please give me a chance to prove myself, I love you so much.

“I said no!, my chances are all exhausted. I think you should go, Ijeoma said.

“Ijeoma! Akunne called from inside.

“Yes Mother”, Ijeoma answered.

“I hope you’ve given your visitor a seat? “, she shouted. Meanwhile, Collins has been standing since he arrived.

“You see, you can go now”, Ijeoma said pointing at the gate.

He didn’t speak a word nor moved, but kept looking at her.

————————————————————————-

“Did you say that Collins came here? Anuri asked in disbelief.

Anuri was the daughter of Akunne’s childhood friend.

“Yes”, Ijeoma answered.

“He said he loves me and I should give him a chance to prove his love for me”.

“God!, so this is how you work”, Anuri exclaimed, looking up to the sky.

“I don’t understand, Aunty Anuri”.

“Ijeoma, Collins is every lady’s dream. Now, I’m not just talking about his wealth. He is humble to the core and responsible. How did he find you?

“I met him at the restaurant few months ago and he was seriously looking at me. He came over the house to pick some files and met me in the kitchen. I was surprised he remembers me. He…

Anuri interrupts her.

“Ijeoma you are a lucky girl, his type is rare. Hope you accepted him?

“Aunty Anuri, not too soon. I’m not in the mood to love again”.

“Do you know the number of girls that comes to the house to see him but he don’t even pay attention to them. You are very beautiful and well behaved Ijeoma and you deserve better. I believe Collins is yours that is why it didn’t work out with Ken and others. He will give you the peace you need. I have worked with them for five years now”.

“I will think about it Aunty Anuri”, Ijeoma said.

“Did you know you have put me into trouble, Anuri chided.

“How?

“You left the house before the contract ended, Ijeoma. How will I explain it to Madam now”, Anuri asked.

Ijeoma kept quiet, thinking of what to say.

Doctor Who: Resolution (1 episode, New Year Special, 2019)

Conquest in 9376 rels. However long that is.

In the 9th century, three tribes of people came together to destroy a creature beyond their nightmares. Victorious, three Custodians split the creature into three pieces and hid them in distant places: Anuta Island, Siberia, and Yorkshire. Unfortunately, the Custodian in England was killed by thieves in Sheffield. His fragment remained unguarded for over 1000 years.

On New Year’s Day, 2019, archaeologists Lin and Mitch excavate a site in Sheffield. They discuss their kiss at a party the night before, eventually leading to a promise to make plans later. They discover a mysterious object near a skeleton’s hand and are excited that this may be the key to unlocking the mysteries behind the supposed Battle of Hope Valley.

They pair chat, and while they’re distracted the bag begins to move. Meanwhile, on Anuta Island and in Siberia, the current Custodians watch as their shrines begin to act strangely. Once uncovered, the remaining two packages teleport away.

In the TARDIS, the fam is making the rounds through time and space to different New Year’s Eve celebrations. With nineteen down and a twentieth to go, the TARDIS warns the Doctor that an extraterrestrial threat is descending on Sheffield.

Time to go to work!

The TARDIS materializes as a tentacled being escapes from the archaeological sample bags. Lin finds the creature – a Dalek mutant! – but it disappears before the newly arrived Doctor can see it. She analyzes the slime that it left behind and quarantines the site. Lin and Mitch make plans to meet up later, but Lin starts to act funny once she reaches her car.

The Doctor takes team TARDIS to Graham and Ryan’s house. After breaking Graham’s chair, the Doctor scrounges up kitchen supplies to sequence the slime proteins. Ryan’s father arrives, but the reception is quite frosty. Ryan gives Aaron the benefit of the doubt and takes his father for coffee, but not before Graham takes him aside for some choice words about his failings.

Lin returns home and we find out that she’s been taken over by the Dalek. It gloats about being able to control her body and brain, and it forces her to access UNIT archives to learn about Earth’s capabilities and defenses. Lin tries to fight back, but the Dalek is too strong. Meanwhile, the Doctor figures out what they’re dealing with and explains the threat to Graham and Yaz.

The Dalek takes Lin for a joyride. While driving her car at over 100 miles per hour, they are pulled over by the police, but the Dalek easily dispatches the police officers. Lin steals a uniform and the police car, leaving the officers on the road.

In the café, Aaron reveals his new profession to his son as he tries to sell a microwave oven to the owner. Unfortunately, Aaron’s not good at sales and is considering oil rig work again. Ryan gets angry and explains how lonely, abandoned, and lost he has felt without Aaron’s presence in his life. Aaron realizes that he’s made a lot of bad choices but he promises not to hide from the truth anymore.

Yaz calls Mitch as she tries to track down Lin. The Doctor traces the phone call, materializes the TARDIS right next to him, and welcomes him aboard. After a brief “bigger on the inside” moment, Mitch explains the Three Custodians and the ancient battle with the Dalek. Once the Doctor makes the connection between the Dalek and Lin, she locates them in the same place. Ryan returns to the TARDIS and stows the microwave in the corner. The Doctor tries to get a read on the Dalek, but it jams the scans and shorts the system. The Doctor realizes that this is a reconnaissance scout, one of the first to leave Skaro and reach Earth.

Lin and the Dalek reach the MDZ Research security archives in Yorkshire and kill the security guard. There they find a Dalek gunstick and try to leave, but the Doctor connects with the Dalek and speaks to it, confirming that it is a recon scout. When the Dalek laughs at the Doctor’s message, she summons a hologram of Lin so they can see face-to-face. She uses Mitch as a lifeline to Lin, reboots the navigation systems, and speeds off to meet the intruder.

Of course, this leaves Aaron and Graham alone in the latter’s living room. Graham takes advantage of the situation by having a more civil discussion with Aaron. Grace was proud of him, and she kept a large box of things about him, including artifacts from his childhood.

The Dalek stymies the navigation trace, so the Doctor tries to use traffic cameras and CCTV to track it. When that doesn’t work, she tries to call Kate Stewart at UNIT, but budget cuts have resulted in UNIT being temporarily shut down.

Lin and the Dalek end up at a farm workshop where they kill the owner and start welding parts together. As Lin begins to tire, she fights back against the Dalek, opening the door for the Doctor to find her. When the TARDIS arrives, the Dalek has separated from Lin, leaving her weak but alive. The Doctor sends her companions back to the TARDIS while she confronts the Dalek, now encased in a custom mobile casing. It’s not perfect by any means, sporting a claw arm and recycled Earth metal, and this provides a chance for the Doctor to jam the gunstick signals and talk. When the Doctor identifies herself, it overrides the block and shoots at her. It misses but declares that it has everything it needs to conquer Earth before launching out of the warehouse and into the sky.

The Doctor fires up the TARDIS again, making a quick detour to pick up Aaron and Graham while Lin recovers. Aaron is beside himself, but he gets a chance to contribute when the Doctor uses his microwave oven to build a defense.

The Dalek lands in an open area and encounters the British Army. It makes short work of them with the gunstick and missiles under the casing’s domes. It then launches for GCHQ, the center of all British communications. Once there, it wreaks havoc before diverting all possible power toward Skaro, including Wi-Fi, phone signals, and internet. The Doctor arrives with the TARDIS shields on full, offering an ultimatum to the Dalek. When the Dalek refuses, the Doctor springs their plan into action, attaching the microwave pieces to the shell and explosively melting it down.

The reconnaissance signal wasn’t sent, but the Dalek isn’t done yet. It has attached itself to Aaron and forces the Doctor to take it to the Dalek fleet. Everyone boards the TARDIS and the Doctor sets course for the fleet, but she has instead taken them to a supernova. When she opens the doors, she creates a vacuum corridor and tries to send the Dalek into the star. Ryan rushes for his father, risking everything to save him while telling him that he loves him. The Dalek loses control and falls into the supernova. Everyone is now safe.

Later on, the TARDIS returns to the underground dig site in Sheffield. Lin and Mitch return to their lives, and Aaron turns down a trip in the TARDIS. Ryan promises to call him when he gets back.

The TARDIS and her crew set sail once again… destination everywhere.

This story did what the previous one did not: Provided a good season finale. It has a lot of good family details, closing the loop on Ryan and his father along with showing the healing relationship between Ryan and Graham.

The TARDIS console room is a bit brighter, even though it’s the same set that we’ve seen all season. It primes us a little bit for the slightly more fleshed-out set we’ll see next time. The Doctor also gets a new accessory with her winter scarf, a real-world design that sold out pretty quickly after this episode aired, but clever fans have interpreted it on Etsy and Ravelry. It’s a great choice for Thirteen’s bubbly personality.

This episode moves fast – too fast in some places – and wraps up far too quickly. The latter is a Chibnall trademark when it comes to episodic work. That ending also includes a statement that “The Doctor will return”. With the power of hindsight, we could say that it was setting the stage for Spyfall‘s James Bond-inspired homage, but it’s more likely that this was setting audience expectations.

After all, the next Doctor Who adventure wouldn’t arrive for a full year.

Rating: 4/5 – “Would you care for a jelly baby?”

City’s largest public union sues Adams admin over budget cuts - POLITICO

DC 37, a key political ally of the mayor, is growing frustrated with his fiscal choices.

Mayor Eric Adams is facing a lawsuit from union workers. | Mary Altaffer/AP

By JOE ANUTA

12/13/2023 01:09 PM EST

NEW YORK — The city’s largest public-sector union sued Mayor Eric Adams and his administration Wednesday over looming budget cuts, POLITICO can first report — the latest sign the planned spending reductions are hurting the mayor’s political coalition at a particularly difficult time in Adams’ tenure.

DC 37 — an early and vocal backer of Adams in the 2021 mayoral primary — filed suit in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, accusing the mayor and his administration of failing to properly vet a decision to nix thousands of union jobs as city officials seek to close an anticipated $7 billion budget gap.

🧐 I'm smelling another bamboozle. Texas is busy steeping itself in Christofascist tea. Mayor Eric Adams IS backed by Peter Thiel, who has been supported by Opus Dei, a fascist wing of Catholics. Texas Governor Abbott sent migrants to some of these cities, just to give ringers an excuse to cut into budgets. I hope DC 37 rips Adams a new asshole.
