I hated them, every one of them, the whole world.

yesterday my flatmate asked what my "olympics schedule" was in terms of what i was planning to watch and when and i was like i can't explain to you how much of a foreign concept that is to me. you don't have an "olympics schedule" in my household you watch whatever happens to be on tv whenever you have a minute of free time and get insanely invested in whatever sport you end up watching. maybe down the line you get so caught up in an event that you start going "i'm sorry i need to have the tv at 8:45pm next tuesday because i need to see the men's sport climbing finals or i'll kill myself" but it's something that has to happen organically you know. that's half the fun

If the United States were to be the first to release this new means of indiscriminate destruction upon mankind, she would sacrifice public support throughout the world, participate in the race for armaments and prejudice the possibility of reaching an international agreement on the future control of such weapons.

Nevertheless, even if mating or courtship in some species is in fact random or indiscriminate between males and females, such "randomness" is actually compelling evidence (once again) for a bisexual capacity in such creatures.

so israel simultaneously bombed: an ambulance convoy going to the rafah egypt-palestine border that was transporting the most severely injured, the main entrance to al-shifa hospital, the vicinity of al-quds hospital and the indonesian hospital. in doing so, they’ve martyred at least dozens of people, with the numbers still climbing, only to then bomb the osama bin zaid UNRWA school barely an hour later, and the scenes coming out of there are literally those of children blown to pieces. they are unrecognisable as humans. may Allah accept them all as martyrs. and if that wasn’t enough, al-shifa, which is now completely overwhelmed with martyrs’ bodies and even more injured people than before since it’s sheltering and treating those from 1. the ambulance bombing and 2. the entrance bombing, is now totally blacked out. no more light or electricity.

while all this was happening in ghazzah, israeli settlers, aided by the israeli military, were/have been continuously forcing palestinians from their land in the west bank by burning their land and shooting palestinians.

this is only what has happened today (03.11.23) in a period of about 2-3 hours. remember, this has been the last 75 years for palestinians.

Indiscriminate use of sensitive vehicular gadgets – New Telegraph

Indiscriminate use of sensitive vehicular gadgets – New Telegraph

E very sane Nigeria is unequivocally not unaware that most sensitive vehicular gadgets are being used indiscriminately by some Nigerians, thereby abusing the main reason for their invention. The continued unauthorized use of emergency-vehicle devices like siren among other sensitive vehicular gadgets including tinted glass and customized number plate has been on the increase in the contemporary…

EDIT: The switchover from "Wani" to "Wanyi" has begun! Salvage should be switched; if anyone's re-reading, let me know if I missed any or accidentally borked any formatting during the change.

All crew names will be left the same, because they are Real People Names and I already had different personalities.

Thanks to everyone who helped me decide!

---Ye original post:---

Debating removing the various hat-tips to Embers in my fics due to attempting to re-read that story and finding it far less enamoring than when it was the second fic I'd ever read.

So anyways now soliciting potential new names for the Wani (Zuko's ship), Crewman Teruko, and Helmsman Kyo.

Update: Seems people (at least on this blog) associate those characters with my stories, not Embers. And the personalities are different, and they're legit real world names... So I'll likely leave those two alone.

Still tempted to change the Wani's name, though. My current top contender is Wanyi, which was @tuktukpodfics 's adorable change when they were podficcing Salvage, which I shall just quote here:

Wànyī (萬一): One in ten thousand, Perchance. I realize now that MuffinLance got the name Wani for Zuko’s ship from the author Vathara and it means "alligator" in another language. But when I was reading Salvage, I always imagined it was "wànyī," which literally means "one in ten thousand" and is used grammatically to mean "what if" or "just in case." I think a ship called "The Perchance" is perfect for a boy clinging to false hope.

I think that is a lot cooler and more meaningful than "Alligator". <3

Realized I don't post art much here anymore. Have cowboys hualian in which Xie Lian can't find any work because farmers are instantly struck with the simultaneous fears that a) he's going to seduce their wives or b) he's going to seduce them and Hua Cheng is the local demon who no one has ever survived seeing and who definitely doesn't have every single sheriff in the country indebted to him

Between 400 and 700 people were injured. A radical supporter recorded what he saw:

The Yeomanry made their charge with the most infuriate frenzy: they cut down men, women and children indiscriminately, and appeared to have commenced a premeditated attack with most insatiable thirst for blood and destruction . . . The women appear to have been the particular objects of the Cavalry Assassins. One woman, who was near the spot where I stood, and who held an infant in her arms, was sabred over the head and her tender offspring DRENCHED IN HER MOTHER'S BLOOD. Another was actually stabbed in the neck with the point of a sabre which must have been a deliberate attempt on the part of the military assassin. Some were sabred in the breast: so inhuman, indiscriminate, and fiend-like, was the conduct of the Manchester Yeomanry Cavalry.

The 'massacre' targeted women, who numbered only one in eight of the crowd, but a quarter of the injured (100 of the 400 wounded).

This explanation is common for some "lower" animals such as insects and amphibians, where there is limited evidence that mating may indeed be random between homosexual and heterosexual.⁷⁴

74. See, for example, Aiken (1981) on Water Boatmen Bugs. Even this case is somewhat less definitive, however, since more than half of all mating attempts in this species are by males on other males.
