Story 2/?: complete.

Next one: in development.

What would you like to see happen in story three?

Story 1: Leave Me Alone! — Starscream is sick with Cybertronian Flu and (probably against his better judgement) Megatron decides to give him the best care he is able. When he begins to feel unwell in turn, he is not overly concerned. At least, not until his medic is.

Story 2: A Brave New Start — with a terminal illness diagnosed, Megatron begins to give the future serious consideration. How does he want to be remembered?

Story 3: Life on the Moon — the initial stages of peace, with Optimus Prime and Megatron co-leading their integrating former factions. What could possibly go wrong?

The first Palestinian athlete to participate in the Olympic games died on Wednesday at the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza as a result of kidney failure due to power outages and medical shortages as a result of the ongoing Israeli war and siege of the enclave.

Majed Abu Maraheel, who passed away at the age of 61, became the first athlete to be the flag bearer and represent Palestinians at the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996. Being a distance runner, he competed in the 10km race.

Since his breakthrough on the world stage, more than 20 Palestinian men and women have been able to compete at Olympic competitions.

"He was a Palestinian icon, and he will remain as such," his brother told Paltoday TV after the funeral.

"We tried to evacuate him to Egypt but then the Rafah crossing was closed (by Israel), and his condition kept deteriorating."

In his preparation for the Olympics, Abu Maraheel would often be seen on his daily runs from his home in Gaza to the Erez Crossing with Israel, which Israel closed in October after imposing a full blockade on the Strip.

Last month, it was reopened for the first time since then.

He would often have to pass through that crossing for his job as a day labourer in Israel. After participating in the Olympics, Abu Maraheel went on to become a coach for other Palestinian runners hoping to replicate his presence at the international competition.

Abu Maraheel's death highlights the grim fate of many Palestinians who are facing kidney failure in Gaza.

A report from the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor in March found that there were between 1,000 to 1,500 patients in Gaza with kidney failure, and that they are facing a "slow death" because of "a lack of medical and therapeutic services, medications and other necessities".

Israel denies blocking humanitarian aid into Gaza, though aid agencies say they are not able to get aid in because of Israeli restrictions.

"We sing unholy hymns to the beat of the drum" is a really powerful line but also really funny coming from a band that uses absolutely zero percussion in their music

Imagine if education were forbidden for everyone, healthcare denied, and homes just distant dreams...

Imagine that travel, visits, outings, play, and the simplest moments of joy became forbidden…

What would life feel like then⁉️

To all with heart, Please don’t skip‼️

Please take a moment to consider the reality my family and I face daily ‼️

We are now in the second year of this devastating war, where every moment is a fight for survival. The essentials of life security, education, and healthcare have slipped through our fingers, leaving us in a state of despair.

It's only gonna get harder now that UNRWA has been banned in the Settler state. Let's fight this battle together!

We live in a makeshift tent, vulnerable to the elements. The relentless rains flood our home, and the biting cold seeps into our bones. Illnesses are rampant, and we feel helpless against the threats that surround us. Every day is a battle to provide for our children; basic needs like milk, diapers, and food have become unattainable luxuries. The weight of hopelessness hangs heavily on our hearts, and our dreams for a brighter future seem to fade with each passing day. We are in urgent need of help to navigate this crisis and to bring a glimmer of comfort and stability to our family's life amidst the chaos.

at the end of the day when it comes to padmé i think it’s really important to remember that her closest friends are literally her employees. her only other friends are her coworkers. her closest friend for years was a girl she met at 14 whose job it was to pretend to be her and potentially die about it. another friend with the same job died in her arms while pretending to be her. she does not have friends outside of her squad of employees who pretend to be her and sometimes die about it and then her politician coworkers. too many of you are way too surprised that this woman is not normal about love or relationships or her own self considering all this

i don’t think you understand

we have had aabria autumn on d20 since 2020, when she stole the show as myrtle in pirates of leviathan. you could feel her inhabiting that mermaid over a zoom screen. felt like i was watching a mermaid roll around in a life-size martini glass full of vodka with my own eyes.

then she changed the game with mismag in 2021, bringing kids on brooms, personalized props, lighting effects, and projections to the dome, after which she held it down as antiope jones. the reluctant leader, the late bloomer who is not late but merely arriving in her own time.

in 2022 she came back with kisses, with regency, with good society, with flowers and tokens and projections and a willingness to follow up on consequences that never stopped moving. wuvvy my beloved. kill me with the devotion of a life lived in service to the one you love why don’t you.

in 2023 she was the spiciest assassin. fit for the genre in fits for the genre. replacing skalds like she was born to do it. and then burrow’s end. a genre exploration with a splash of the violence of dnd and the tragicomedy of family. beautiful sets, incredible audiovisual effects, and horror both visceral and cosmic.

in 2024? she’s back with wizards baby. she’s taking a 4 episode jaunt of americans becoming wizards in britain and making an adventure of eleven episodes. planets move, the dm screen talks, and the wind is on the rise.

aabria adds such a fun, artistic, genre-bending, cinematic flavor to her time in the dome; it’s no wonder that the Q4 mid-length season is hers.
