Noor Inayat Khan was the daughter of an Indian Muslim family of musicians and poets, a descendant of the ruler Mysore, Tipu Sultan. She overcame her Buddhist belief in not taking life because of her opposition to Nazism and her hope of making common cause between Indian and English people.
She was the first woman radio operator ever dropped into France, and she chose to stay on in Paris as the only English radio operator, even when her circle was broken up and she was offered evacuation.

A Game of Thrones, Eddard IV
“For my part, I always found you Starks a tiresome lot, but Cat seems to have become attached to you, for reasons I cannot comprehend.
“I shall try to keep you alive for her sake. A fool’s task, admittedly, but I could never refuse your wife anything.”
“I told Petyr our suspicions about Jon Arryn’s death,” Catelyn said. “He has promised to help you find the truth.”
That was not news that Eddard Stark welcomed, but it was true enough that they needed help, and Littlefinger had been almost a brother to Cat once.
It would not be the first time that Ned had been forced to make common cause with a man he despised.
“Very well,” he said, thrusting the dagger into his belt.

Yes yes yes! The ACP is also in danger of running out of funding by the end of 2024 if it is not renewed.
The program is currently keeping 20million homes connected but over 52million homes are eligible!!
This site has resources for
What qualifies you to apply,
spreading the word via local papers about the ACP
calling your reps to encourage them to renew funding
Reading testimony from people who benefit from the program
Sharing why Internet connection is important to you (if you consent these stories are used by lawyers and advocates to fight for more funding)
If you want to see how much money is left and what registration looks like in your state check out this dashboard.
Turns out with the Affordable Connectivity Program, ISPs CAN NOT shut off your internet.
Seriously. If you’re living in the US, and you’re at or below poverty line, sign up for the affordable connectivity program. it gives you like $30+ a month off your current internet bill and it makes it so they can’t disconnect you if you don’t pay them.

How to Fix the Broken Electoral College
For more than 50 years, Common Cause and their members have fought for the democracy we deserve,[1] working to make every vote equal with the National Popular Vote. The National Popular Vote compact is based on a simple principle: the American people should pick who serves as the President of the United States and the candidate with the most votes should win. National Popular Vote would…

Common Cause: How Our Similarities Teach Us How to Love
When people, despite their differences, focus on what they have in common instead, the act breeds compassion. The perspective shift also grants them superpowers, strong enough to push back against evil. Here's my essay about Ray Bradbury's 1960s novel.

Edit since a lot of people seem confused - your "real" name is the name that you want to be referred to in real life. It doesn't have to be your legal name. So if you're trans and you have a different name to whats on your birth certificate, even if not many people call you by the name, it still counts as your real name.
Edit 2 : Holy shit guys please stop reblogging this post my poor inbox im getting like 20 notifs an hour asjfhkajshdkh /lh /srs
#FUN FACT : charlie isnt my real name :]#i decided to go with the name charlie because i didnt wanna use my real name and i like the name charlie#my parents were gonna call me charlie when i was born but didnt in the end#i dont really know why i dont just tell you lot my real name because its a super common name#another thing that using a diff name online has caused is me seeing “charlie” almost as a different person#theres “[wearegonnapretendiputmyrealnamehere]” and then theres “Charlie” and they are two different people in my mind#idk aksjffhkajsshdka#anyways this is the second poll ive made today what is my deal with polls#i should make a seperate poll tag for all my fucking polls that i make#I MAKE A LOT#ill tag all my polls when i think of a good name lol#anyways woah i got a bit rambly there#did i make a whole ass poll just because i thought you might find it interesting that my real name wasnt charlie?#yes. yes i did.#(DO NOT take this as me not wanting you lot to call me charlie i would prefer you use that name over anything else lol)#polls#tumblr polls#random polls

Creature of Hell, hark unto me!
Turn not against your own kind!
Consider how all of you are minions of Lucifer,
How all labor for a common cause.

Lifetime Stew is so much darker in hindsight.
Sinclair and Don Quixote both get it, and it’s specifically *Lust*, not *Gluttony*, despite being food-themed. (Although Gluttony in Limbus terms is basically Greed, and Lust very broadly refers to “desire” for things that aren’t material).
So, Lifetime Stew is based on the fable of Stone Soup, wherein a man managed to feed his whole village by bringing each together with a different ingredient, to make a soup that would last forever. He just kept telling each person in the town square, “All it needs is one more ingredient,” and everyone just kept adding to it. Is the gist of it.
Sinclair and Don have voice lines that more or less imply the same thing - the Abnormality (Basilisoup) just wants everyone to try its delicious soup! Cute, silly concept, right?
So what do Sinclair and Don Quixote have in common?
(SPOILERS beyond this point! You’ve been warned)
In Canto 3, Sinclair recalls that once his mother, father, and sister all received full-body prosthetics, they no longer had a need to eat. The table was set and food was placed only for him. It’s one of the things he found so especially heartbreaking, that he was the only one left in his family who could still eat food. It’s such a core memory that it’s plastered on the window-wall of his cell for his base E.G.O., four roboticized humans sitting at the table, with no food present.
He desperately misses getting to share meals with his family.
And in La ManchaLand, the Bloodfiends have been starved of blood for the past 200 years, barely sustaining themselves on hemobars that don’t satisfy them. They can *live* without subsisting on human blood, but they’re utterly miserable doing so. The only one of the First Kindred’s clan who escaped such a fate was of course, Sancho, though she’d long forgotten she is a Bloodfiend, Faust says she still craves blood. She’d been in effect, the only Bloodfiend allowed to sate her cravings, while the rest of her kin starved. Being the only Bloodfiend able to escape their fate was so traumatic for Sancho that she wanted to forget everything about herself.
In other words, Basilisoup/Lifetime Stew is about “the joy of sharing a meal with family,” something both Sinclair and Don Quixote desperately wish for.
KIM JIHOON WHEN I FUCKING GET YOU
#limbus company#canto 7 spoilers#Don Quixote lcb#Sinclair lcb#Kim Jihoon was EVIL for doing this okay?#and doing it so early in the game#it doesn’t hit just after canto 3 though cause it’s harder to see the common thread between him and don#and how both tie into a soup-themed abnormality#but now? now i see it and i want to die#by the way i don’t know if i can make the read more work on mobile#so for now just heed the spoiler tags
