Is it just me, or has this last full moon felt like it's lasted over a week?!?!? It has flooded our yard with so much light I feel like I could have read a book out there in it. It has been so lovely.

It's fitting that it feels like la luna has been showing off because the energy this past week has felt very mischievous. I've been more forgetful, clumsy, and irritable than usual. But also more determined and giddy. It also might be because it's finally starting to feel like fall in my neck of the woods and I'm so happy I could scream 🌛🍂🌜

[acourtofquestions]

"You'll come back," Manon said.

It sounded like more of a threat than anything

Dorian smirked. "Would you miss me if I didn't?"

Manon didn't reply. He didn't know why he expected her to.

He'd taken all of a step, when Asterin clasped his shoulder. "In and out, quick as you can," she warned him. "Take care of Narene." Worry indeed shone in the Second's gold-flecked black eyes. Dorian bowed his head. "With my life," he promised as he approached her mount and grasped the dangling reins. He didn't fail to miss the gratitude that softened Asterin's features. Or that Manon had already turned away from him.

A fool to start down this path with her. He should have known better.

The hours that passed were some of the longest of Manon's existence.

From anticipation, she told herself. Of what she had to do.

Abraxos, unsurprisingly, found them within an hour, his reins sliced from the struggle he'd no doubt waged and won with Sorrel. He waited, however, beside Manon in silence, wholly focused upon the gate where Dorian and Narene had vanished.

Time dripped by. The king's sword was constant weight at her side. She cursed herself for needing to prove-to him, to herself-that she refused to let him go into Morath for practical, ordinary reasons. Erawan wasn't at the Ferian Gap. It'd be safer. Somewhat. But if the Matrons were there … That was why he'd gone. To learn if they were. To see if Petrah truly commanded the host there, and how many Ironteeth were present. He had not been trained as a spy, but he'd grown up in a court where people wielded smiles and clothes like weapons. He knew how to blend in, how to listen. How to make people see what they wished to see. She'd sent Elide into the dungeons of Morath, Darkness damn her. Sending the King of Adarlan into the Ferian Gap was no different.

It didn't stop her breath from escaping when Abraxos stiffened, scanning the sky. As if he heard something they couldn't.

And it was the joy that sparked in her mount's eyes that told her.

Moments later, Narene sailed toward them, making a lazy path over the mountains, a dark-haired, pale-skinned rider atop her. He'd truly been able to change parts of himself. Had made his face nearly unrecognizable. And kept it that way.

Asterin rushed toward the mare, and even Manon blinked as her Second threw her arms around Narene's neck. Holding her tight. The mare only leaned her head against Asterin's back and huffed.

Manon hadn't dwelled long on what she'd say.

And as the three hundred Ironteeth witches filed into the hall, some coming off their patrols, Manon half wondered if she should have. They watched her, watched the Thirteen, with a wary disdain.

Their disgraced Wing Leader; their fallen Heir.

When all were gathered, Petrah, still standing in the doorway where she'd appeared, merely said, "My life debt for an audience, Blackbeak."

Manon swallowed, her tongue as dry as paper. Seated atop Abraxos, she could see every shifting movement in the crowd, the wide eyes or hands gripping swords.

"I will not tell you the particulars of who I am," Manon said at last. "For I think you have already heard them."

"Crochan bitch," someone spat.

Manon set her eyes on the Blackbeaks, stone-faced where the others bristled with hatred. It was for them she spoke, for them she had come here.

jacket, then hoisting up her white shirt. Rising in the stirrups to bare her scarred, brutalized abdomen. "She does not lie."

UNCLEAN

There, the word remained stamped. Would always be stamped.

"How many of you," Asterin called out, "have been similarly branded? By your Matron, by your coven leader? How many of you have had your stillborn witchlings burned before you might hold them?"

The silence that fell now was different from before. Shaking shuddering.

Manon glanced at the Thirteen to find tears in Ghislaine's eyes as she took in the brand on Asterin's womb. Tears in the eyes of all of them, who had not known. And it was for those tears, which Manon had never seen, that she faced the host again.

"You will be killed in this war, or after it. And you will never see our homeland again."

"What is it that you want, Blackbeak?" Petrah asked from the archway.

"Ride with us," Manon breathed. "Fly with us.

Against Morath. Against the people who would keep you from your homeland, your future." Murmuring broke out again. Manon pushed ahead, "An Ironteeth-Crochan alliance. Perhaps one to break our curse at last."

Again, that shuddering silence. Like a storm about to break Asterin sat back in the saddle, but kept her shirt open.

"The choice of how our people's future shall be shaped is yours," Manon told each of the witches assembled, all the Blackbeaks who might fly to war and never return. "But I will tell you this." Her hands shook, and she fisted them on her thighs. "There is a better world out there. And I have seen it."

Even the Thirteen looked toward her now.

"I have seen witch and human and Fae dwell together in peace. And it is not weakness to do so, but a strength. I have met kings and queens whose love for their kingdoms, their peoples, is so great that the self is secondary. Whose love for their people is so strong that even in the face of unthinkable odds, they do the impossible."

Manon lifted her chin. "You are my people. Whether my grandmother decrees it so or not, you are my people, and always will be. But I will fly against you, if need be, to ensure that there is a future for those who cannot fight for it themselves. Too long have we preyed on the weak, relished doing so. It is time that we became better than our foremothers." The words she had given the Thirteen months ago. "There is a better world out there," she said again. "And I will fight for it." She turned Abraxos away, toward the plunge behind them. "Will you?"

Manon nodded to Petrah. Eyes bright, the Heir only nodded back. They would be permitted to leave as they had arrived: unharmed.

So Manon nudged Abraxos, and he leaped into the sky, the Thirteen following suit.

Not a child of war. But of peace.

Make Me Care About Podcast: Solving The World's Problems One Step At A Time

 Don't forget about Bill Gates on Jeffrey Epstein's island of underage sex. Don't forget about his philandering on Melinda, his then-wife. But remember that the Gates's have amassed billions of dollars to make the world a better place. And, contrary to right-wing extremists, Gates has never been part of any grand conspiracy, unless you count the one where we all use Microsoft Office and the Windows OS.

In March, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced a new podcast series called, Make Me Care About, hosted by award–winning podcast host and New York Times best-selling author Jen Hatmaker. The13 episodes of the first season are available, and I've listened to every one of them. Based in Seattle, Washington, the Gates Foundation is led by CEO Mark Suzman, under the direction of Co-chairs Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates and the board of trustees.

The podcast feature Jen Hatmaker in conversation with guests from around the world who are solving some of the world’s biggest problems. Listeners will hear stories of health care workers, advocates, scientists, and educators whom the foundation supports through its thousands of grantees, as well as employees, all of whom are working to end disease, poverty, and inequality.

“By investigating innovative but often overlooked solutions to global challenges, Make Me Care About is an invitation for listeners to be inspired by amazing people and their work on world-changing projects,” said Susan Byrnes, chief communications officer at the Gates Foundation. “Through conversations with our partners and experts, Jen shares some of the remarkable stories that motivate our work to create a world where every person—no matter where they’re born—is able to live a healthy life and reach their full potential.”  

Each episode dives into a different challenge.  Topics range from maternal mortality to the importance of iodized salt, the pivotal developmental stage of ninth grade to the impact of malaria on communities around the globe, from poop and outdated toilets to garbanzo beans’ role in tackling malnutrition.

One of my favorite episodes was the one on wastewater. In the episode, host Hatmaker speaks to Supriya Kumar, who is the Program Officer in Global Health in the Gates Foundation. Kumar explains that by testing the sewage in a particular location, health officials can determine what pathogens are in the area and a particular hazard. For example, the polio virus was identified in New York City last year due to surveilling wastewater. Kumar points out that closed-loop settings, like university dorms, were useful during the pandemic, in determining possible pathogen exposure among students. 

Jen Hatmaker wears a lot of hats in her life. See what I did there? She's an author, podcaster, speaker, advocate, educator, and Mother. She is also creator / host of the For The Love podcast, with an ear worthy episode being an interview with standup comedian Nate Bargatze.

As a host, she's first class, asking detailed questions and exuding an enthusiasm for the topics that is infectious.

“I love to share inspiring stories, so I’m excited to be partnering with the Gates Foundation on the Make Me Care About podcast,” said Hatmaker. “Every episode is a real opportunity to connect with some of the most remarkable people the foundation works with. Together, we’ll investigate the deeply important and impactful topics that often get little attention and explore the stories behind some of the most innovative solutions helping us all to live, grow, and thrive.”

“These days, it can be hard to feel hopeful when you check in with your newsfeed,” said Chloe Louvouezo, senior content producer at the Gates Foundation. “This podcast aims to change that. It dives into fascinating developments that don't often show up in the news. It gives people a way to relate to issues that may feel far away and to consider their role in helping others, both in their community and around the world.”

2022 / Redraw of my oldest Oc’s, The 13

[askheroicide]

The thirteen

Geno has 12 test subjects in the downstairs labs of his house: 

Subject 2 is a sado/maso BH that will do anything to get out of his straitjacket and get back to recklessly damaging everything in its path. Is exactly 6'10. When presented with someone stronger than he is,  will lie down at the stronger one's feet on its stomach and pretty much just follow them around like a puppy with the tendency to decimate furniture - Has big fluffy ears that are unique in style, not from any identifiable species of animals known to man. Can speak in ancient eldritch languages as well as English. 

That BH has a brother in the next room over, subject 3 summons mists (water mostly) when sad and has never willingly hurt anyone. Is about 7′. Used to keep his bro in check until damaged too heavily to stop him. Taken in for extreme fits of depression and hysteria. An English-speaking White Hat with cat ears-

Subject 4 is a faceless, 12' eldritch. They communicate directly in thought.. It feels weird to 'listen' to them, especially since it sounds like they're all in your head, or whispering just barely outside your ear. They wear a black hat and are technically genderless +nameless Also not actually a villain :) but they have huge fluffy grey ears under their hat.  Don't get too close, though. It's in a straight jacket for a reason and if you do end up getting close enough it will try to trap you. It is relatively harmless when in its jacket, but will try to manipulate you into taking it off.

Subject 5 is a vampire white hat with questionable morals that stands at a nice 6′2. Can't bite without "victim's" permission. Speaks ancient eldritch as well as several of the human 'romantic' languages. Is especially vain and constantly 'fixing' his appearance, not one hair must stray from the beautiful combed back fluffy hair look-

Subject 6 is a destructive polymorph child (multiple powers) and a hybrid species between eldritch and human. Possibly incapable of death, that or the weakness is very well kept secret. 5′2

Subject 7 is a plant-based eldritch that only eats kale and dirt, speaks any human language. Does not like being touched, but is just fine with being stared at. Height varies by phase of moon.

Subject 8 is a predator with no eyes, will bite anything that 'smells good' Has long blonde hair obscuring the vacant upper half of his face, has a NOSE! 10′2

Subject 9  has elemental powers and is a small female that refuses to physically touch anything that lives- 4′8

 Subject 10 is another faceless, probably a sibling to 4 or 8. Can summon facial features anywhere BUT his face and is ALWAYS hungry. Uses dark hair to cover where his face should be, aside from lower jaw area. 11′1

Subject 11 does not like to be removed from her cell. Prefers warm climate even though she has ice, invisibility, and void (multiple portal summoning) powers. 5′9

 Subject 12 is where it gets interesting. Subject twelve is Hyper Hat's brother (Energetic AU), but Geno doesn't know that yet. What he does know is that 12 is constantly hyper and must be kept sedated. His docile form is humanoid but brightly colored, and his misses 'Alexander' and calls himself 'Robinson'. Height changes whenever he feels like. 

Subject 13 is a small eldritch that only imitates cat noises, and refuses to look at Kenneth. Will either turn his head away or shut his eyes- has hair that is permanently defying gravity, and changes colors for no known reason.

All of these are kept in separate, clear-walled cells

You might've noticed we skipped Subject 1.  Subject 1 is the only ‘free-roam experiment’ Kenneth Slugfalls has, Nerd.
