"I know– I feel you've been asked this a lot, but what happened?" Jimmy asks quietly.

He's gentle as he preens Pearl, fledgling feathers recently growing along her shoulders, back, even a few on her neck. Those hands, now uncharacteristically sprouting talons, only go so far as they release small feather after small feather.

"Is it a curse or–"

"I don't think so." She answers quickly. "It happened during Hermitcraft, sometime at the beginning of this season and before Empires."

Pearl can't help but notice how sharp his talons are. They don't fit him well, not even when he's on red. Part of her is glad it's only the beginning of this season, both on green without any reds or yellows to worry about.

"But how did it– sorry, I'm being invasive."

On instinct, her fledgling feathers puff out. She wants to talk, she wants to tell everything and pour her heart out. But she doesn't know why.

"It's okay. I wouldn't mind telling you." Pearl lifts her head from her knees, turning to look at Jimmy. "Do you know any legends… about angels and how they're made…?"

He shakes his head. "My family rarely spoke of any gods when I was growing up. The only thing I know about is angels and that's all from Skizz."

The other angel, a born angel, had become a mentor of sorts. Telling what it might be like, that she'd experience pain and– well, she had at least one encounter with the other things by now…

"Did he ever tell you about something called ascension?"

She, not for the first time this evening, questions why she had gone to Jimmy for this.

Why did she choose him over Mumbo or Bdubs? Why did her instincts scream for him? For Skizz? For Grian?

Jimmy, again, shakes his head. "Maybe in passing, but no."

"It's the process of when a normal player becomes an angel or a god. It's supposed to be rare, only gods can choose who and when someone becomes an angel, but something happened–"

"It was Sausage's god, wasn't it?"

Despite herself, she nods.

"Doc and X both said it might be something with incorrect code. Skizz said that sometimes belief is strong enough that it can warp someone."

Jimmy sits quiet for a minute, what few of his feathers that were exposed flexed before he managed to get them to lie down again.

"So it is a curse…"

Just as reluctant as before, she nods.

He wraps an arm around her, bringing her close to him silently.

It feels wrong. It feels out of place. She knows him and he knows her in return.

They're not like this. Not quiet, shy, and anxious… and yet here…

She understands now why she wanted to see Jimmy. Why she wanted to talk to him. He's the only other person in this server that understood curses in the way she did now.

Maybe they aren't allies. Maybe they will never be. But maybe, with talons that don't fit, with feathers that shouldn't be there, with the looming fear of growing wings from a spine not made for them. Maybe he was what she needed in that moment.

Ship trope I'd love to see more of: "Are we in love? I mean, yeah, probably, but that's a problem for future us. Right now we're just trying to make it through the Plot."

Write 28 Days: Dream Poems - Day 1

Part of my Feb 2024 Dream Poems project. RoamingAlways wandering, looking for, trying to find, not finding, not finding yet. Buildings, apartments, stores, hotels, places I don't live.

Boycott Israeli Dates this Ramadan, from Call 2 Action Now, 28/Feb/2024: (caption under images)

This Ramadan, don’t break your fast with an Israeli date. Stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Israel’s genocidal assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has now killed tens of thousands. Palestinians, facing down Israel’s catastrophic violence, call on us to boycott Israeli products in solidarity with their struggle for freedom.

Follow this quick guide to boycotting Israeli dates:

• Always check the label when buying dates. Don’t buy dates that are produced or packaged in Israel or its West Bank settlements. If no country of origin can be found on the box, check the retailer’s website.

• One of Israel’s largest exporters is called Hadiklaim. It sells dates in supermarkets under these names: King Solomon, Jordan River and Jordan River Bio-Top, as well as under the labels of supermarket chains. Check the box carefully, if the dates were “exported by Hadiklaim” – don’t buy them.

• Avoid these companies: Mehadrin, MTex, Edom, Carmel Agrexco, and Arava

#checkthelabel is not enough. Israel has been caught labelling their dates as ‘produce of Palestine’. Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, M&S, Morrison, Aldi, Lidl and Asda package Israeli dates under their own labels!

Buy dates from Zaytoun, Alard, Yaffa, and Holy Land Date all support Palestinian Farmers. If you cannot get hold of these brands then buy dates from Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, UAE and Algeria.

the Binax rapid tests have updated their testing guidelines to reflect this—they say you need to take two tests AT LEAST 48 hours apart if you have symptoms but don't test positive on the first one. even with two negative tests, i'd still be cautious.

regardless of whether you test positive (because the rapid tests are becoming notoriously unreliable), if you have symptoms AT ALL you should be masking up in public and around other people.

If you have a cold and test negative for COVID you are not in the clear. Tests take a while to turn positive. Meanwhile you are spreading COVID to family and friends. Mask up if you have any symptoms. This virus is just evil.

For people still in denial whether Israel has committed war crimes, here is a comprehensive list of war crimes Israel has committed both before and after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the list being taken from the Wikipedia article of war crimes with some notable missing examples being the usage of chemical weapons, famine, disease and apartheid. The 7th of October attack did not occur in a vacuum, but is the product of decades of Israel not being held accountable for its war crimes.
