Hell Gate, as usual, has the best coverage, + now it’s basically the only fair coverage of campus protests. im a couple days late to this one but I was backreading news today and it stood out to me.
#saw some press at my protest and was hoping it was Hell Gate and it was <3#like it was nice to see press and have it not be so they could write articles like ‘a disgusting display of antisemitism by america’s#coddled minds’ or whatever#palestine#nyc tag#previous post notwithstanding. lmao

hey, new york has cashless bail so I checked out the Columbia link because I was afraid it was a scam. It’s not a scam—it’s just not a bail fund either. It’s a legit-looking way (the instagram promoting the venmo account, also @ bcabolitioncollective, is followed by other community groups i trust) to donate to the Columbia and Barnard protests for other purposes. donate elsewhere if your goal is getting activists out of jail specifically, but if you just want to support, donate away!
bail funds for pro-palestine activists
a15 bail and legal defense fund (supporting community members criminalized in the us for solidarity with palestine)
university of texas at austin students bail fund venmo @ psc_atx (livestream)
columbia students bail fund venmo @ bcabolitioncollective
the palestine legal defense fund supports acitvists across the united states
palestine legal defence also supplies free legal support for activists
the national bail fund network may update with local bail fund efforts as events continue to unfold
this list is updated as of 24 april 10pm EST. i'll try to update as i find further bail funds and legal supports: if you know of other funds or if information shared here is incorrect, please reblog with updated info (+ a timestamp) so people can give and access support.
palestine will be free, solidarity forever 🍉 🇵🇸

michaela mabinty deprince (1995-2024)
🩰˚✧₊⁎
today, september 13th, 2024, the ballet world lost an extraordinary dancer and woman.
michaela mabinty deprince was born on january 6th, 1995, as mabinty bangura, in sierra-leone. she was orphaned, her parents passing to due to both direct and indirect causes of the civil war in her home country. she was demonized by her caretakers for her vitiligo, being called a “devil’s child”, and suffering from other forms of neglect and abuse. in 1999, deprince was adopted by an american couple along with another girl, and they were taken to new jersey, united states of america.
her hopes of becoming a ballerina had been planted when she found a ballerina on a magazine cover in her home country. she didn’t know of ballet at the time, but treasured the picture and dreamed of dancing. this dream blossomed into truth when she moved to the states, being put into ballet lessons soon after her arrival. deprince was a four-time participant in youth america grand prix, one of the largest ballet competitions in the united states. she was awarded a scholarship to study at the jaqueline kennedy onassis school of ballet, the associate school of american ballet theatre.
despite facing racial discrimination and other hardships in and out of the industry, deprince persisted in her dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer. in 2012, at the age of 16, she became the youngest member of dance theatre of harlem, and the next year, she joined the junior company of the dutch national ballet. she soon rose through the ranks, joining the main company and attaining the rank of soloist. she was the first dancer of african origin to ever join the company, and a shining advocate and role model for black women in ballet.
her other accomplishments include being an ambassador for war child holland, a dutch organization working to improve the wellbeing and resilience of children directly affected by war. she visited uganda and lebanon through the organization. she also appeared in beyoncé’s 2016 music video for ‘freedom’.
she will dance among all the stars in the sky. rest in peace beautiful michaela mabinty, you are already so missed. ♡

desmond & friends modern day assassin sequences…..I miss you……..
#specifying ‘and friends’ because I hate William Miles with my whole heart and he is not included in this sentiment#anyway vaguely this is nyc so the cops are probably wasting taxpayer money by fucking around in the subway#komiks tag#assassins creed#shaun hastings#desmond miles#this is almostttttttttttt shaundes#but I didn’t continue the dialogue far enough to make it really flirty. There’s a hint of flirting happening.#someday I’ll have to actually do a longer form fan comic to land my favorite ship AND my favorite narrative elements in the same#go (the horror and dialogues on free will and what we owe each other past/present/future & also what failure means AND-)#this ties into my second favorite relationship dynamic: clay and desmond. obvious. clay might live in my head rent free a little more than#Desmond does because that end of game reveal in AC1 is a top 10 games experience to me and I think about it all the time#ANYWAY IM OFF TOPIC NOW. desmond picks up snacks at a bodega on his way back

hey I know not everyone is interested in the nyc sanitation department’s report on containerization but I am! tldr: it’s an obvious idea but it’s going to be a big lift in NYC due to differences with other cities, including population density, lack of allys or underground storage space for trash cans, lack of domestic production of the right kind of trash trucks, and of course the car owner outrage already mentioned due to backwards parking incentives. turns out that this is more possible in bumfuck nowhere than nyc because bumfuck nowhere has uhhhh lower population and room for trash cans. this is less a cause of “incompetent cities are letting trash rot on the sidewalks instead of the radical idea of a trash can” than “an ongoing political battle over a necessary fix that’s going to be hugely expensive and logistically difficult.” but it is possible and there are people excited to be working on it!
Annals of US city governance, we are finally embracing the radical notion of trash bins:
The new rule is part of the city’s broader plan to move trash into containers, a simple yet revolutionary change in New Yorkers’ trash habits. To do so could easily cost the city hundreds of millions of dollars over the next decade. City officials must buy new specialized trash trucks and stationary containers, while also increasing the frequency of residential trash collection in large swaths of the city.
"Specialized trash trucks and stationary containers" how will we develop this frontier technology??
Other cities like Barcelona, Buenos Aires and Singapore have already embraced trash containerization.
Genius sentence, the way its structured to imply only the best of the best in modern cities have piloted this crazy idea. Soon NYC will be on the elite list of cities not dumping bags of trash openly on the streets! If you find yourself asking "wait why has this not happened yet", well:
City officials found that it was possible to use trash containers on 89 percent of the city’s residential streets, but it would require removing 150,000 parking spots
So, yup.
#ask me about the commercial waste zones plan and the chaos unleashed by getting the mafia out of trash collection next im on a roll#my posts#the rats are absolutely going to hate this announcement#nyc tag

"There are those frustrated with the results of the Animus project, and the last subject didn't make things any easier. Sorry Mister Miles, but we're not taking any chances this time around."
"This is a strain of the Blacklight Virus, recently obtained from the bright minds of one of our sister companies. Supposedly it's sapient, but it should at least be obedient. Play nice with it, okay?"
--------------------------------------
Seconds before disaster struck lmao. The virus was not supposed to be used in this way, and so we'll pretend Abstergo's building was ground zero for the outbreak rather than Penn Station
#Is Mercer based in Italy during his blacklight research?#Does he travel there to see what has become of his virus?#Or are we pretending the Abstergo labs were in NYC the whole time#I usually go with the 3rd one lmao#2nd pic in a row of Desmond restrained#my bad#but with Mercer he at least likes it a little#also sorry for the protocreed spam >.<#ever since that first reverse au sketch I've been thinking about them a lot#prototype#doodles of the art blocked wolf#desmond miles#protocreed#assassins creed#alex mercer#sketches#warren vidic#I need more fics of them#bc I'm about to reread the whole AlexDes tag for like the 1000th time
