Transnational Repression in the MENA Region: The Role of Regional Organizations Engaged in Counter-Terrorism.
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is witnessing a troubling trend of transnational repression, with regional organizations often exacerbating human rights abuses. These abuses often target and silence activists, dissidents and human rights defenders under the guise of counterterrorism laws and other measures inconsistent with international human rights standards.

c. 1540 CE: a young man from Chalco, and his dragon.
#em draws stuff#em is posting about temeraire#temeraire#temeraire worldbuilding collection#⚬⚬⚬⚬⚬𐂂#<- tag for organizing when I'm drawing stuff that is temeraireVerse but not in the line of the plot of the books themselves#for school reasons I have been reading a lot about 14th-17th century mesoamerica#and thus am Interested in how that would have potentially played out in temeraireverse...#anyway! not sure if I'll draw these two again but I Have given the lad a day sign name (five deer) so I could Potentially. who can say.#haven't come up with a name for the dragon yet... maybe cipachcoatzin would work if can't think of anything else#<- Please Forgive My Dubious Command of Classical Nahuatl Grammar I Am But A Student#on that note zoomorphic interlace is not very much a style from this period/region but it helps me with composition things#five deer himself is mostly based on the illustration of the tlacuilo's son in the codex mendoza#the dragon is drawn more from a fusion of older scribal styles (ie. the codex borgia) and my own shorthands for dragon anatomy

Ministry Aesthetics — 1: The Abbey You hear a faint ringing of bells, the haunting echo of a choir. Mountain air seeps through the pores of the stones like a crisp fog: scents of pine, cedarwood, sweet juniper, dew. Fresh-cut gardenias soak up a haze of sunlight in the main halls. The chapel ebbs a steady bloom of frankincense. Even in the day's silence, magic hangs in the air. The evening mass will soon begin.

This is just me throwing spaghetti at the wall, but are there any Kingdom Hearts artists that would be interested in doing something like a sticker rally to raise funds for aid work in Palestine?
I don't have any first-hand experience with physical goods, but I was thinking stickers are low-cost enough that they'd been the most efficient thing to offer and designs could be continually added over time from many different contributors. I've been trying to come up with something I could do with what little time and resources I have, and now the idea is at a point where I simply have to shout it into the void to see if anything echoes back.
#Orion Talks#Kingdom Hearts#ideally organizing with people in different regions#and multiple manufacturers to keep shipping down#if there's no interest I'll keep on going solo#but I figured we could probably get more done as a collective#sorry this is just a vague idea#without any concrete guarantees#but really#i'd design new stickers every month#if it meant helping someone materially

kinda interested in theorizing how the court system in the republic works. specifically coruscant bc imagine if with a trillion people on the planet the trial and appeal system is absolute shit
#ch posts#oh no representation? tooooo bad!#imagine if court processes changed based on what level you lived on or what region you were in#appealing to the final and highest court cost a mandatory fee that the majority of citizens cannot afford#shotgun trials that get opened and closed in a day#wild wild west out there#obv its also more likely that for the sake of peace on the planet#the system is quite organized#and relatively linear#finding that balance between a bloated court system and what would necessarily be ironed out after hundreds of years of being a member of#the republic you know#star wars#the clone wars#swtcw

Please could you make some shiny pokemon
🥺
👉👈
I'm probably not going to make any more shiny Pokemon until I finish at least one regular one of every Pokemon, but here's a shiny Hisui Zoroark I made back when I had a Patreon that I never posted here!
#dpc asks#zoroark#hisui zoroark#shiny pokemon#pokemon#crochet#amigurumi#i remember every single pokemon i've crocheted except i forget which ones i made multiples or shinies of#had completely forgotten i made a shiny hisui zoroark for a patron#till just now that i'm organizing my files again#wish i'd had the foresight to take a pic of this with the regular one#but i do remember that i was just so relieved at being done with this one in particular lol#regional variants#shinies

I just don't believe anyone reposting those lists about "here's 15+ different places with Problems going on (just like palestine!!)" knows or cares enough to be able to explain what's happening in more than 1/4 of them in anything approaching the depth appropriate to doing the topic justice
#also very easy to group together w western propaganda#lost count how many times ive seen like cuban crackdown on free speech or uyghur genocide on those lists#or viet nam#youre not spreading solidarity by forcing dozens of qualitatively different situations into the same mold#not to mention that zionist apologists have literally been weaponizing those lists since day 1#'oh you claim to care about palestinians but i havent seen you talk about....'#like this could be seen coming from miles away#forms of comparisons that dont abstract to the point of uselessness tend to come in pairs#moreover. the way those are often grouped under the label 'free x' or 'save y'#or vague calls to boycott when theres no labor organizations within that region even calling for that#who is doing the freeing who is doing the saving how do your means match your ends

Deaths that result from resistance against settler-colonial violence is ALWAYS the fault of the colonizers. Not the colonized.
Don't want a war? Don't spend 80 years doing an apartheid against the indigenous.
#free palestine#israel is America's best customer for weapons and surveillance tech. thats our skin in this conflict.#biden literally once said that “if israel didnt exist we'd have to create one in order to protect America's interests in the region”#the mist vetted human rights organization in the world (amnesty international) released a 240 page report on israeli human rights abuses#America called that report “antisemestic”#idgaf about your religion. this is about whats being done to real people in the real world.#israel is an apartheid state#from the river to the sea#palestine#israel

marlon has definitely been living under a rock. how has he not even heard of team plasma… like after several years…….
#he’s the only person worthy of those ‘Salt Life’ bumper stickers#spends so much time swimming and relaxing he hasn’t noticed we’re on iteration 2 of an evil organization in this region#unless he’s new to unova entirely which could be true#goldie plays pokémon black… 2!!!

The m34th going through different witch seduction tactics, meanwhile Lime is just: thighs thighs thighs thighs
HE WOULD!!!!! also it would be VERY funny if the anti-witch-seduction (AWS) training had the exact same vibes as those free speech training things they make you do in university where you watch a bunch of bad acting videos and answer very easy questions that have very obvious correct answers if youre not a monster
lime having to sit there watching another video of someone dressed as a fake witch and then taking a multiple choice quiz thats like "You see a witch trying to bribe you with her body, do you A) bring her in anyway, or B) give in?" and hes like "Boy oh boy i wonder what the right answer is"
or its one of those cringey corporate team meeting vibes where everyone sits down in a big room and the manager goes "okay im not naming names but REMEMBER IN THE HANDBOOK how it says we're not supposed to sleep with witches?? yeah?? that was in the handbook guys. please read it again if you need to. this is not team player behavior"
#and EVERYONE is zoning out and mad at whoever got caught#as a psa lime is never the reason why these meetings get called#hes sneaky and smart about mochi#its some other idiot asshole having a love affair with the badger witch in the mountain region or some bullshit#the m34th is largely a very awesome and very cool and serious organization#but i need to throw in the dumb moments like this because i think its very funny#90% of the time they leave you alone with your missions and just ask that you report in and do your paperwork every now and again#and then theres the bureaucracy of government training programs hidden in the bowels of the org

Why can't the churches with choirs and pipe organs and stained glass windows have a bit more theological rigor??
#i am constantly forced to reject churches with beautiful music and sanctuaries I can see myself getting married in#in favor of rigorous theology#and like. i will every time#but how it that fair??#i maintain that truly beautiful churches and stained glass windows and pipe organs should belong by right#to Christians committed to taking the Bible seriously#it makes me so sad every time I live near a church with gorgeous carillon bells and know I'll never even consider membership there#bc i see the titles of their sermons on the signpost out front every week and *yikes dudes I'm praying for you*#or like that time i was invited to come sing in the choir at a church where both my voice teacher and my choir director were involved#like. a church regionally famous for having a truly fantastic choir#and obviously had to turn them down because I've read their what we believe page and they only mention 2/3 of the trinity#why can't a girl have it all?????#honestly this is the most compelling reason imo to move back to southern California#lots of beautiful Presbyterian churches with sound theology AND choirs and organs and beautiful sanctuaries#but alas#i am here#and so i suffer#(I'm being dramatic. I'm sure whatever church God has for me will be great)#but also#just#sigh#can't a reformed girlie want a pipe organ? as a treat?#pontifications and creations#new adventures#sunday school kid

i do not talk about politics online for a variety of reasons, top amongst them being that i think the most effective way to make an impact on someone's views is to have a one-on-one conversation with them. And i am personally most well versed in local politics because living in a conservative area means that i am fighting an uphill battle both ways trying to convince someone that actually the more liberal candidate is the one who is advocating for policies that will positively effect you, i promise, and i have to have specific instances i can cite as proof for these conversations to be really meaningful. but because of this specific way i engage with politics, sometimes i see posts on this webbed site that makes me go "why are you even talking. what are you aiming for. what do you Want."
#sure fuck trump fuck biden vote blue no matter who#but what is your ideology beyond this. what sort of specific changes do you desire. is this just another cult of personality to you.#what do you Want and how are you making meaningful steps towards it.#this is NOT me advocating for third party btw i am not even lucky enough to live in a region that has third party candidates running#i do think everyone should swallow their pride and vote for whoever the popular democratic candidate ends up being on the ballot#but like. you know that politics do not end there right. even if you find state-level politics intimidating i am asking you#to look into smaller and more local stuff. not just in a 'call your local representative about the most recent hot-button issue'#but in a 'what does your local representative endorse? do you agree with them? do you disagree?'#it is much easier to drum up effective discourse on smaller issues and it gives you experience and understanding on#what is and is not effective forms of organization and petitioning#what works and what doesn't#some of it scales and some of it does not#but i am genuinely imploring you to look into things#because often you can make a tangible change on a small scale#obviously this in response to all of the current us election cycle posting that is happening currently#but also if you are not american but do regard your own politics especially your local ones with apathy#i am encouraging you to look into things too
