“Jap Guns And Aircraft Batter Great Wall Of China At Shanhaikwan,” Toronto Star. January 27, 1933. Page 17. --- Picture No. 1 shows Chinese boys and young men searching the ruins of their homes after the aerial and ground bombardment of the walled city of Shanhaikwan, which started on January 1. After several weeks of stubborn defence, the Chinese forces finally fell back and the Japs took the city which contains the key railroad station into Jehol province. Picture No. 2 is a general view of the walled city of Shanhaikwan, where the Great Wall of China goes down to the sea, showing the ruins and desolation wrought by the heavy artillery. Picture No. 3 shows two Japanese soldiers searching the ruins of a Chinese home in the walled city for wounded Chinese who might be sniping at the Jap soldiers.

I have played Lancer only once, and have a rather erratic understanding of the rules, but I'm already creating homebrew. Which is probably very unbalanced, though I am trying (if you want to see it lmk it's coolllll)

So my 11yo nephew (the one who wanted uranium for Christmas) found a copy of my first YA book lying around his parents' house and he read it and asked his mom if there was any more.

Reader, that book is over 10 years old and maybe 25 people read it before my life fell apart. And yes, it was a labor of love and a piece of my soul but you could not pay me to look at it again.

But my nephew. He wants a book.

Anyway I'll probably start dropping chapters of the reboot I was already working on in June 2023. If anyone wants to help me pick a title (the old one will not work due to covid permanently fucking over certain words), my DMs are open.

Turn the other cheek? Wrong. Heavy artillery bombardment.

Help Rana’s family toleave Gaza before it too late

Hello humanities 🤗🤗

Please read this as if I'm a member of your family . maybe your sister, daughter or a friend and as if my family who's under death now is yours.

"I am a computer Engineer and Mom for 3 children from Gaza , Rana Hassan Alabsi, with a strong ambition and perseverance. Over the past 10 years, I've worked tirelessly, I've dedicated myself to my family, working hard, planning, building my career. Despite facing challenges, I became a well-known professional engineer in Gaza.

 

Unfortunately, my life has been upside down since Oct ,Since that particular day, thousands of innocent lives have been lost in Gaza, many of innocent people lost their works and the only source of income like me.

Me and my childrens 1 of them, he is10 years old with downsyndrom and need a safer place and health care to still a live, left our home under the continuous bombardment and artillery strikes, on foot, without carrying with us our personal supplies, clothes, or Even our money, heading from Gaza to Deir al-Balah. There in Deir al-Balah we lived the most difficult days of our lives in a shelter with scarce resources, sleeping on the ground.

Without covers, without drinking a healthy water, then we moved to Khan Yunis after the intensification of the strikes and bombing, Then we moved to Rafah in the hope that we would find safety there or find a way out of Gaza to a safe place that we dream of for the future of our children,Let us live a happy, safe life for us and our children, and keep them away from all this pain, destruction, and siege, and spare them from the miserable future that will await them if the situation continues as it is in Gaza.

I come to you with a heavy heart and an urgent call for help. My family are currently caught in the war in Gaza, facing the harsh reality of an escalating crisis. The situation is dire, and I am reaching out for your support to facilitate their safe passage to Egypt. In this moment of desperation, I share the situation where it has taken a toll on their well-being.

This urgent plea is not only for their safety but also for the health of my son, who is facing serious conditions that demand immediate attention.

My family is trapped in an environment where access to necessary medical care is severely limited. The escalating crisis compounds the urgency, especially considering my son's health conditions. Time is of the essence, and we are in a race against it to get him the vital medication and care he desperately needs.

My loved childrens are in a situation beyond their control. The fear in their eyes and the desperation in their hearts are indescribable. I implore you to be a beacon of hope for them, to be the force that guides them to safety. To be honest, the journey to safety comes with a significant financial burden.

We need the money to cover practical costs of transportation, documentation, a place to stay and shelter in and other essentials required for a safe crossing to Egypt. And so that they can take care of other needs once they cross safely. As of late April the evacuation fee ranges between $8,000 and $10,000 per person, before processing and transport fees, and we will pay the higher end of the range since Hayde doesn't have passport. Me and my family asking for 50,000$ based on the following breakdown: an evacuation fee at the Egyptian border of $8,000 - $10,000 per person , $4500 - $5000 per children as each day there is a different price for evacuation fee at the Egyptian border, plus a processing fee of $2,000 per person, $2,000 for transportation, and a 2.9% commission fee.

Any amount raised beyond the total will be used to supplement me & my family lives as refugees in Egypt. Your donation, no matter how small, will make an impact. You will be contributing to getting my family to safety. The funds will be used transparently and every dollar will go towards securing our evacuation.

Please share this campaign widely to help us reach our goal and bring my family to safety. Your support means more than you can imagine and I am incredibly grateful for any assistance you can provide during this challenging time. Thank you for your compassion and generosity. Together, we can make change and help my family find the safety and security they need".

They bombed Khan Yunis for the last 8 hours, with air, sea and artillery bombardment!

People don't know where to go, many refugees are stuck in the AlAqsa University tonight. This is unbearable, we are tired.

Remember the Battle of Monte Cassino: January–May 1944.

After Anzio, the Germans occupied defensive positions known as the Winter Line, consisting of bunkers, barbed wire, minefields, and ditches. The four successive Allied assaults on these positions became known as the Battle of Monte Cassino.

The fight resembled a WWI battle, with artillery bombardments preceding bloody infantry assaults on fixed positions. Success was bought at the cost of more than 50,000 casualties on the Allied side. Today, the battle is mainly remembered for the destruction of the abbey of Monte Cassino (which was sheltering civilians) by more than 100 B-17 Flying Fortresses, when the Allies mistakenly believed the abbey to be a German artillery observation position.

NOURA'S FAMILY IS IN SEVERE NEED OF SUPPORT.

@facingdeath

A destroyed house, a scattered family, continuous displacement, and a tent that neither protects us from the heat of summer nor the cold of winter.

I live with my family in a small tent after being forced by the Israeli army to evacuate an area we had previously sought refuge in. We fled under the bombardment of aircraft and artillery to a camp crowded with displaced people. Now, we live in harsh conditions that no human being can endure.

Due to our large family, high prices, and ongoing famine, we have reduced our meals to just one a day. Even providing that one meal is often a struggle. We share the food equally and make do with the little we have.

Help us and be our support by donating and sharing to alleviate our suffering and help us regain what we have lost.

Thank you all

hi! now that i have your attention i want to ask you to take a moment and help out my friend iman @emanfamily5! she is a science teacher and mother of 5 beautiful children, one of whom is only 11 months old. her children have lost toys and blankets, a whole year of school and even the ability to feel safe due to the constant bombardment of aircraft and artillery.

iman and her family need money to escape this genocide, but they also need money to pay for everyday items like food, water, medicine and diapers for little zeina, as well as blankets and winter clothes to keep warm in the coming months, so even if you can only spare a few dollars it will really help her out!

this campaign is vetted by association and is currently at $32,068 of its $50k goal as of january 10th 2025

[ 📸 📹 Footage shows scenes of massive destruction everywhere to be seen after the withdrawal of Zionist forces in Hamad Town, a city in the Khan Yunis governate, in the southern Gaza Strip, while photos show the bodies of the dead resulting from IOF airstrikes targeting civilian homes in Deir al-Balah overnight, in the central Gaza Strip.]

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

HAMAD TOWN IN KHAN YUNIS COMPLETELY FLATTENED BY ZIONIST FORCES, DOZENS KILLED ON DAY 159 OF ISRAEL'S GENOCIDE

On the 159th day of Israel's ongoing war of genocide in the Gaza Strip, and on the second day of Ramadan, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 10 massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 88 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, and wounded another 135 others over the previous 24-hours.

In a highly illegal attack on the sovereign state of Lebanon, a Zionist raid targeting a civilian vehicle near the Al-Hosh Junction in the city of Tyre killed the Hamas political leader Hadi Mustafa, from the Rashidiya Camp, and wounded three other Lebanese civilians.

According to Lebanese media, Zionist artillery also fired on the Marjayoun Plain while Israeli military and reconnaissance aircraft operated in Lebanese airspace, with the local government calling on the International community to put a stop to Israeli strikes within its borders.

In the north of the Gaza Strip, Zionist artillery forces fired four shells towards the vicinity of Al-Quds Hospital, affiliated with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City, killing at least five civilians, including children, and wounding several others.

Similarly, Israeli warplanes targeted with airstrikes the civilian neighborhoods of Al-Daraj and Al-Zaytoun in Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of 15 Palestinians, including two women and at least seven children, while wounding dozens of others.

According to reports on the bombings, occupation warplanes bombarded a civilian home in the Al-Daraj neighborhood which killed seven civilians, including three children and wounded several others.

Later, a second strike targeting the Azzam family home in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, killed no less than eight civilians, including four children and two women, with a number of others wounded as well.

Israeli occupation aircraft also bombarded the Lulu family home in the Al-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City, killing two Palestinian civilians and wounding four children as a result.

IOF airstrikes and artillery fire also concentrated on the central Gaza Strip, with occupation forces targeting four civilian homes in the city of Deir al-Balah overnight.

In the first attack, Zionist air forces bombarded the Al-Atrash family home in Deir al-Balah, killing at least 11 civilians, most of whom were women and children, and wounding dozens of others.

Subsequently, IOF fighter jets bombed the Al-Qudra family home, resulting in the tragic deaths of 11 additional Palestinians, while a strike targeting the Abu Sanjar family home killed at least 7 civilians.

In another strike, occupation forces targeted the Al-Yazuri family home, also in Deir al-Balah, leading to 25 civilians killed or missing under the rubble of their home.

In another Zionist atrocity, the Palestinian fisherman's syndicate announced the horrific murder of two of its members, Muhammad and Youssef Adel al-Sayyid Abu Riyala, after being targeted by occupation gunboats while fishing off the coast of Al-Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, known locally as the Nuseirat Sea.

Moving towards the Southern Gaza Strip, IOF artillery shelling concentrated near Hamad Town, in the Khan Yunis governate, where violent clashes with Resistance forces led several Israeli aircraft to land in the area to transport wounded Zionist soldiers for medical care.

Local Paramedic personnel also transported the body of martyr Haitham Muhammad Deeb Suwaidan (35yo) from Khan Yunis to Al-Najjar Hospital in the city of Rafah.

Additionally, IOF soldiers detonated several residential homes east of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

As a result of Israel's ongoing war of genocide in the Gaza Strip, the infinitely rising death toll stemming from Israeli attacks now exceeds 31'272 civilians killed, more than 25'000 of which being women and children according to the United States Pentagon, and wounding another 73'024 others since the current round of Israeli aggression began on October 7th, 2023.

The vast majority (99%) of the 281,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2 equivalent) estimated to have been generated in the first 60 days following the 7 October Hamas attack can be attributed to Israel’s aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza, according to a first-of-its-kind analysis by researchers in the UK and US. According to the study, which is based on only a handful of carbon-intensive activities and is therefore probably a significant underestimate, the climate cost of the first 60 days of Israel’s military response was equivalent to burning at least 150,000 tonnes of coal. The analysis, which is yet to be peer reviewed, includes CO2 from aircraft missions, tanks and fuel from other vehicles, as well as emissions generated by making and exploding the bombs, artillery and rockets. It does not include other planet-warming gases such as methane. Almost half the total CO2 emissions were down to US cargo planes flying military supplies to Israel. Hamas rockets fired into Israel during the same period generated about 713 tonnes of CO2, which is equivalent to approximately 300 tonnes of coal – underscoring the asymmetry of each side’s war machinery.

[...]

David Boyd, the UN special rapporteur for human rights and the environment, said: “This research helps us understand the immense magnitude of military emissions – from preparing for war, carrying out war and rebuilding after war. Armed conflict pushes humanity even closer to the precipice of climate catastrophe, and is an idiotic way to spend our shrinking carbon budget.”

[...]

Even without comprehensive data, one recent study found that militaries account for almost 5.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions annually – more than the aviation and shipping industries combined. This makes the global military carbon footprint – even without factoring in conflict-related emission spikes – the fourth largest after only the US, China and India.

STOP AND READ ( HELP FATHER OF JANA FROM GAZA FIGHT AFTER LOSING EVERYTHING )

Even if it's something simple, it has value to us.

Hello, my name is Ayman Elwhidei, I am a father of 5 daughters and 2 sons, my elder son is married and has a little daughter and we live together in the same house. We live in the “Tal-elhwa” area of Gaza City, one of the first areas targeted by aerial bombing and fire belts at the start of the October 7th war. I was forced to evacuate my home in the first week of the war under bombardment, we took al Quds Hospital as a shelter, leaving behind my memories and all my possessions.

Our house is destroyed at the beginning of the ongoing slaughter we lost everything and we barely survived being killed by the bombs and indiscriminate artillery shells on the area, we have trapped on the hospital for more than a month with shortages of water and food, and we forced under bombardment to leave and evacuate the hospital to the south, we lived in KhanYounis a while until it became the most dangerous place in gaza after they start invading the city, we faced death multiple times while they bombing the houses around us. And again we forced to evacuate to Rafah and lived in a tent without any life supplies, we suffered from thirst and hunger, my youngest daughter Jana got sick and weak she couldn’t cope with what we are going through, lately Rafah got invaded and bombed every where and we miraculously survived when an airstrike hits near us, and again we forced to evacuate to another place in Dir Elbalah to another tint where there is no any suitable life supplies.

22 January 2024

Since the earliest hours of the morning, environmental engineer Dr. Tamer Al-Najjar has been reporting that Jabaliya is experiencing

-widespread and violent ground clashes between the IOF and resistance forces

-artillery shelling (tanks, ground missile launchers, etc) by the IOF

-intensified widespread aerial bombardment by the IOF

-increased presence of IOF warplanes flying overhead

These have been taking place for many days, but appear to have increased since about midnight last night, and continue to this very minute.

Rhodes Island’s scouts report that the Londinium Artillery Batteries hace ceased bombarding us altogether suddenly, allowing the swift retaking of the city. Upon inspection, it seems the batteries were affected by something known as “crowdstrike”. An enemy general, Manfred, attempted to do battle with us, but his drones seemed to be malfunctioning, leading to his hasty retreat.

These are all great news, aren’t they, Ptilopsis?
