Khalil Gibran, “Thomas” from Jesus, The Son of Man

[martha-the-martian]

[image id: nine pencil drawings of the martians from the neck up, with their names written underneath them.

One: Martha blum, a cutesy cartoony style, with the nose coloured in and the eyes not very good. Her handwriting is kind of messy.

Two: Tammy Kubo, her style is very angular, and so is her handwriting. She is drawn at a three quarter angle.

Three: Jenny Khalil, his style is very anatomical and realistic. Her handwriting is neat and circular.

Four: James Kubo, his style is realistic, and his handwriting is very small and neat.

Five: Thomas Khalil. His style is cartoony, and his nose and forehead are shaded. His glass eye is blacked out and his lashes are exaggerated. His handwriting is messy and round.

Six: aled Howell. Her style is cartoony, with line and circle eyes. He has not drawn a neck, instead adding a wool lined jacket. His handwriting is curvy and tall.

Seven: Sahrah gamal. Her style is quite cutesy and alien looking, her eyes are overly shiny. Her handwriting is round.

Eight: Georgie Blum, she is drawn cartoonishly with large angular eyes. Her handwriting is wiggly and tall.

Nine: Dane newton. Has a chibi-anime style with very big eyes. His handwriting is very messy.

End id]

Tada! analysis:

Martha: very cartoony. Doesn't draw often, always messes up the eyes.

Tammy: angular. Only draws 3/4 busts

Jenny: generally only draws technology concepts, very rarely humans.

James: realistic style, makes himself more masculine

Thomas: fantasy-ish. Always draws his eye blacked out, and also forgets to draw his white streak. Adds it in later.

Aled: kinda chibi-ish. Hates drawing necks, tries, ends up giving them a scarf

Sahrah: makes herself look more mystical. Reminds me of those fairy illustrations

Georgie: cool™. Can only draw front facing.

Dane: watched anime as a child disease. Makes himself look more feminine. Don't ask why. Side note: I forgot to draw his cheek marks 😔

All artists friends and foes !!

Draw your oc as if they had drawn themselves!!

Agatha Christie's 'Towards Zero' tv series: First Look

The BBC has released the first pictures of Towards Zero, based on the classic mystery by Agatha Christie.

England, 1936. After a scandalous celebrity divorce, Nevile Strange and his ex-wife Audrey make the unthinkable decision to spend a summer together at Gull's Point, their childhood home and the coastal estate of Nevile's aunt, Lady Tressilian.

With unfinished business between the former childhood sweethearts, plus the presence of Nevile's new wife Kay, tensions are running high. Add to this a long-suffering lady's companion, a mysterious gentleman's valet, an exiled cousin with a grudge, a venerable family lawyer, an inquisitive orphan and a French con man, and soon there will be murder. A troubled detective must rediscover his purpose to untangle a toxic web of jealousy, deceit and dysfunction. Can he solve the crime before another victim meets their death?

The new pictures give a first glimpse at Lady Tressilian (Anjelica Huston), Inspector Leach (Matthew Rhys) and British tennis star Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) - seen in the pics with the two ladies in his life: ex-wife Audrey (Ella Lily Hyland) and new wife Kay (Mimi Keene). The series is also starring Clarke Peters as Mr. Treves, an old friend of Lady Tressilian, Anjana Vasan as Mary Aldin, another party guest caught up in this disastrous mess, Jack Farthing as suspect Thomas Royde, Jackie Clune (Motherland), Grace Doherty (Call the Midwife), Khalil Gharbia (Mary & George), and Adam Hugill (Sherwood).

Towards Zero is expected to premiere on the BBC over the 2024 holidays and arrive on BritBox in early 2025. It's been adapted for screen by BAFTA-nominated Rachel Bennette (NW) and directed by the Olivier Award-winning Sam Yates (Magpie).

Metal Detectorist Discovers Medieval Wedding Ring  

Every metal detectorist dreams of unearthing something valuable. For one man the English countryside yielded an incredible find when he stumbled upon a medieval diamond wedding ring in "almost perfect condition" near Thorncombe, in the South West of the country.

Now the item is expected to fetch between £30,000 and £40,000 (Sold For: £38,000) when it goes on auction later this month.

David Board, 69, found the "stunning" ring on his second attempt at becoming a metal detectorist after a stint in the 1970s in which he scoured local beaches but found nothing of much consequence, a press release from auction house Noonans said earlier this week.

Board called the ring "a once-in-a-lifetime" find.

During a recent interview, he said: "There will probably never be another one like it. Back then, each ring was individual and unique, not mass produced like today. It's stunning."

Board took up metal detecting again in 2019. During the second day of a field search, he had almost given up when he got a signal on his metal detector by a footpath.

Initially, the culprit looked like a sweet wrapper but Board soon realized that it was a gold ring.

When he dug it up all covered in mud, Board said he thought it was just "scrap metal" and popped it into his pocket.

"It was once I got home and washed it off that we realized it was a lot better than we thought," he explained.

The ring is in "almost perfect condition," Nigel Mills, a consultant in coins and antiquities at Noonans, said in the release. The jewelery has a golden hoop of two entwined bands to symbolize marital union and an inverted diamond set into it.

Inside the band is a medieval French inscription that reads, "Ieo vos tien foi tenes le moy," translating as, "I hold your faith, hold mine," according to the auction house.

Due to the location of the find and the quality of the ring, Noonans' experts surmised that it's the wedding ring of Joan Brook, given to her by her husband, Thomas Brook.

Their marriage in 1388 brought great wealth to the Brook family, the release said, as Joan was the widow of Robert Cheddar, a wealthy cloth merchant and twice mayor of Bristol -- a city in western England.

It was at a time when medieval notions of chivalry and courtly love were at their zenith, concepts which the ring reflects, Noonans said.

Now known as The Lady Brook Medieval diamond ring, the item will be auctioned on November 29.

Board goes out three times a week, weather permitting, in hope of uncovering another great relic among the musket balls and King George I coins. "It will be amazing if I did," he responded, adding "you never know what the next signal is going to bring."

The discovery adds to a list of incredible finds by detectorists in the UK.

One amateur uncovered a haul of Bronze Age objects in a Scottish field in 2020, in what experts at the time called a "nationally significant" discovery.

And last year it was reported that a huge hoard of Iron Age gold artifacts had been found by a rookie detectorist in Denmark.

Heyoooooooooo!! Who are Georgie, Dane, Thomas and Sarah (I like the names for some reason esp Dane and Sarah) AND WHATS COOL ABOUT THE MARTIAN ARCHITECTURE? I can tell theres something very interesting because you wanna be asked about it. Please infodump tell me about the architecture. I am intrigued.

One! It's sahrah, not Sarah, idk if autocorrect messed up her name or something but she's half alien,

Two! Georgie blum is Martha's older cousin, she's part of the tennis team and she hates most of the people in it, she also smokes weed but don't tell her parents that. She also bleaches her hair but if you tell anyone she'll kill you.

Dane whatever his last name was I didn't write it down, is just some guy at this point. He's not proper fleshed out but he's Georgie's friend and and it's like. He's her boy wife she's his girl husband but they are not dating.

Thomas is a little bit my favourite, he's jenny's brother and looks so much like a girl that two of the people he dated turned out to be lesbians, he's like 6'something because of the combined tall genes and the Martian low gravity, and he's missing. An entire eye. Water a helmet y'all 😔

Sahrah gamal! Resident alien! She has six arms (only two are super useable) antlers, and white hair all over her body. She's a goth of course, because what else are you supposed to do when you have white hair and blue skin? She's very sensitive to light and as such her bangs cover her eyes, and she dated Thomas before figuring out she was aro because 'hes her hottest friend'

Three! ARCHITECTURE! Today we learn about domes! They're made of this special glass that is radiation proof, but also, yknow, see through. It does tint the sky blue however so you get a lovely purple sunset. There are 5 main sections, the residential domes, the farming domes, the recreational domes, the education domes, and the 💥space dome💥 (all joined by the hub) they're joined by two one-way tram systems although they are reasonably walkable, might be a bit exhausting though. Education, residential and recreational are all somewhat scattered, corner stores in the res and ed, houses above shops and classes in the recreational, I would talk about them in more detail but this is long enough already.

If you want to know moooore you can request specific topics like agriculture, fashion, pop culture, transport, the education system, festivals, basically anything

[martha-the-martian]

Happy disability pride!

Thomas is autistic and dyscalculiac, and he's missing (most of) an eye! Due to this ju is half blind and has no depth perception, so he doesn't like anyone standing on his right. Ju lost it when he was 7, he tried to do a sick daredevil trick with a ramp, but ended up face planting on the curb, resulting in his eye socket being crushed and needing repaired. After surgery, ju took the opportunity to befriend the nurses son! This is how he met aled.

Book Review - The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

After reading, I learned this book was first published on 28 February 2017, which makes this a timely review at its seventh anniversary.

It’s difficult to write a book with social justice themes without the narrative dipping into a lecture-style and the author’s voice bleeding through. Angie Thomas pulled it off masterfully, and never once was the immersion broken while discussing themes. This book is clever and chooses each word meaningfully. The Hate U Give gripped me by the collars and would not let me put it down. The story is compelling and highly readable, covering emotionally heavy material and educating the reader on racial justice while also presenting a coming of age tale and lots of humor. This style represents its core message: despite growing darkness, we have to keep living. The narrator’s voice, the unfortunate ongoing relevance to current events, and the unrelenting suspense make this book a modern classic that I think should be in every high school.  

The voice of the protagonist and the ways in which she interacts with her world and the people around her immerse the reader. Starr is a likable character, funny, resilient, and brave even when she doesn’t think she is. Her characterization was so strong I felt like I could meet her in passing on the street or follow her tumblr blog. She collects sneakers. She knows how to put price tags on groceries. She’s embarrassed by her parents’ dancing. The driving plot of The Hate U Give is the murder of Khalil and trial of 115, but the book is about so much more. The book is about Starr and how she grows into self-confidence and realizes her power to change her community. We care about Starr’s conflict with her friends and boyfriend, her worry about her parents’ marriage, and her complicated feelings with attachment to the place she grew up versus moving to a better life. Suspense never relents, lending a thriller feel to the story. Will Starr decide to speak up? Will 115 be charged? Will Hailey apologize? Will the family be able to protect DeVante from King? The people and places are described with such care they leap off the page. The appeal and success of this story is not from larger than life characters and events, but painful and heartfelt realism.

I had a few tears in my eye at the end of the novel, in a good way. There was no justice for Khalil, just like continues to happen in the real world. The Hate U Give was published in 2017, and it feels like little has changed since then in police reform. But there is still hope. Starr and her family get a better house, her mom gets a new job, the community help rebuild the store, Starr stands up for herself against Hailey, and she’s closer than ever with Chris who has shown he’ll support her in anything. The central message of the book is not loss but hope, a story about fighting for a better world because we live in it. This is what we need in face of rising darkness. The audience cares about the characters, cares about the tragedy, cares about justice, but the ultimate reason The Hate U Give hits so hard is that it doesn’t lean into despair. It says, “we must do something, and we can.”

I think this book should be taught in high schools. I certainly wish it was taught in the one I attended (a semi-rural, predominately white community). I know people would have a fit about the strong language, especially “that one news channel” as it was called in the novel, but the message is more important than a couple swear words the students would hear in the hallways anyway. It’s an introduction into learning about activism, written in a voice that is relatable and easily comprehended, wrapped in the attention-grabbing vibe of a YA thriller. Teens and adults alike can enjoy the storytelling and learn a lot from it. I certainly learned a lot about a culture that is not my own, and I’m grateful Angie Thomas created this and shared it with us. It surely took a lot of emotional labor, and the author’s emotional connection to the story shows and makes it all the more impactful.

Stories have the power to change the world, and if they didn’t, there wouldn’t be massive censorship efforts all throughout history. We’re living amongst the worst of modern censorship waves in the United States right now, with any book that mentions race or sexuality being challenged, even children’s books about things as unprovocative as doing hair. The Hate U Give covers dark subject material, but we need to not look away from the darkness in the world we live in. The enemy of hate is care. Through trying to understand one another and our struggles, we can be the light, like a star.
