City of Heroes Rebirth, the server I volunteer with, is having an event where our Weekly Strike Targets are all activities that reward one of our new challenge enhancements! But that's not why I'm posting this -- I'm posting this because I took the screenshots used here and I like how they came out. You'd be surprised how hard it is to get decent lighting in City of Heroes.
(full disclosure -- I only took the screenshots, I didn't do the rest of the graphic design!)
My writing mood's kinda on the low and the writer's block is slowly sneaking around the corner, so, wip time it is!
Number 1!
Three works involving characters and universes from @cuppajj .
Left: A continuation of "Meanwhile in Another Universe" where Phoenix gets turned into a sparkling because of shenanigans.
Middle: Part 8 of the story between cuppa's Imperious and my Quick Search.
Right: Just a small thing playing in cuppa's Mecha Pilot AU. I did end the first story on a cliffhanger after all. (And stopped working on it for a while.)
Number 2!
I will continue the Hot Rod/Overlord thing. It's going to be my weirdest story, I think?
this pride, i learnt about the Palestinian trans woman Oscar Al-Halabiye, dancer and resistance fighter against the israeli occupation in Southern Lebanon. she named herself Oscar after Lady Oscar from the "The Rose of Versailles", a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Riyoko Ikeda.
her story is documented in Cinema Fouad(1993). zionists use pink washing to reinforce their genocidal terrorist narrative when queer Palestinians have been fighting against the occupation since the very beginning. you can watch it here with english subtitles. long live the intifada!

This elderly woman was one of the leaders of demonstrations against the Vietnam War in 1968, when she was a student at Columbia University. Today, 56 years later, she returns to the same place and says, "Palestine must be free."
Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.
