I don't post like.... ever so I know shit about formatting, but I hope SOMEONE sees this.

Georgia - the country - is on the verge of a revolution. They went from a shitty government to a worse one recently in an election the EU has called "neither free nor fair" and is largely assumed to be rigged by Russia. After this statement they pulled out of the talks the previous government had started to JOIN the EU. They had actively hidden a part of the map during a TV news presentation recently that was areas that had been heavily influenced by Russia over the last few years.

It has gotten increasingly violent over the last few days. People were openly protesting the election well before it was finished because the interference was obvious to them, but since the election, riot police, water cannons, tear gas, and a complete lack of human decency has taken hold of the capital.

There are two journalists who have had their heads bashed, I honestly have no idea if they survived but they were badly injured. Over the last two weeks they have violently arrested well over 300 people - and that's a heavily conservative number because I REALLY DONT KNOW.

Last night alone, they arrested 107. The night before, my friend helped carry several people to ambulance. They have arrested so many people that they are transporting them to other cities to hold them because the jails in Tbilisi are full. Released earlier this week was 40 people who had been in jail for nearly a week, and were only Released because one man of the group went on a hungerstrike until they were released, he was in terrible shape but somehow walked out on his own.

I am hearing first hand about what is happening, but i know a tiny little country at the farthest end of Eastern Europe is not on many people's radar.

There is nothing that can be done from the outside but watch, keep eyes on the country because ANY AID sent in would have whoever received it as a spy, or a terrorist agent and they would be arrested and likely never see the light of day again.

The old regime wasn't amazing, but they weren't Authoritarians aiming to hand the country over to Russia.

Please be aware of them, watch them, be outside observers because they need it right now. People being aware of what they are doing is one of the only ways we can put pressure on them. So please talk about them. If share this to Twitter or bluesky or whatever social media people are using these days but I don't exist on them.

Point of order: stab wounds have a very low fatality rate today, because medical science has made a lot of progress in the last hundred years or so. Historically, or in any other context where you don't have access to modern medical technology, they're basically impossible to treat. You still won't immediately fall over dead from Small Knife In Gut Disease, but you will die slowly and painfully over the course of hours, days or even weeks from internal bleeding and infection.

one of my greatest pet peeves in fiction, and it is truly stupid I know, is that no one seems to understand how genuinely hard it is to kill someone via stabbing. stab wounds have a mortality rate of like 5%. especially abdominal stabbing. tv shows and movies show dudes getting stabbed one time in the lower abdomen with a tiny knife and then they fall over. like what did he die of precisely. that man died of Small Knife

Federal prosecutors at the sentencing hearing of a former student who went on a stabbing rampage at the University of Waterloo in southern Ontario last year told court on Tuesday that his actions were ideologically motivated. On Tuesday, the second day of proceedings for Geovanny Villalba-Aleman, 25, federal Crown attorney Howard Piafsky detailed the assault-related charges, which he had pleaded guilty to, as well as terror-related offences that are being considered as part of sentencing.  Villalba-Aleman pleaded guilty in June to four assault-related charges in the stabbing of two students and Katherine Fulfer, an associate professor, in Hagey Hall in June 2023. Piafsky said Villalba-Aleman acted "to instil fear into his perceived enemies."

Don't be silly – it's only a cycle of violence if it's sustainable. This is a spiral of violence.

It is done! *falls down*

BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT (SOON) MASTER POST

I have... so much to say on so many different things but it is 2:30 in the morning so I will keep this as brief as possible. First off, thank you to all my mom friends and mutuals who helped me with accurately portraying and normalizing the experience of giving birth. It is wonderful, and painful, and gross, and beautiful. I apologize if it made any readers squeamish (and I know there were a few gross jokes in there) but considering how gross the tv show got, I think it remained true to the overall vibe!

Second, I wanted to talk about the concept of "hope" in this story. When I first watched the movie, I felt like the idea of hope being their greatest weapon seemed sort of heavy handed and cheesy. However, after watching the ending of the show again I realized that hope is actually a huge reoccurring element in the story and a big part of what it means to be of the Hamato clan. Doubly so, I wanted Casey Junior in a way to symbolize that hope for Leo specifically, so when Leo talks about hope in the beginning of the movie, he's not just talking about some vague concept, but Casey Junior himself. He is their greatest weapon and he doesn't even realize it.

Thirdly, so uh... Casey Junior. I apologize if it had seemed out of left field, but do know that the decision of his origins was not made lightly. The shear similarity in his facial structure to Lou Jitsu as well as several other factors that I will refrain from stating due to future spoilers was too numerous to ignore! It is an integral part of his story for reasons that will go unsaid for now, and no, he does not know he's distantly related to them. Also, Big Mama! Been holding onto her concept for some time now! I loved the idea of her mystic broach becoming damaged so she can only be cloaked to a certain degree, making for an interesting blend of both her forms. She was really fun to figure out!

Finally thank you everyone for your patience. This special turned into quite the endeavor with most of the updates exceeding 20 pages each, but I'm so happy I was able to finish it... even if it did take so much longer than my projected hope. I can't wait to get back to the main storyline, though I shall miss these silly, overpowered boys. We got a lot of ground to cover and I'll likely be posting a summarized reminder before continuing. ...and after I finish work on some Zines and the holiday special winning commission!

first art fight attack of the year! for @barrenclan . im very normal about this comic

[doomhamster]

Having read the article, on the one hand the game apparently doesn't allow the player to attack civilians.

On the other hand, that means the game is presenting October 7th as being about combat against the IDF, military targets capable of defending themselves, rather than the wholesale slaughter of civilians it actually was. Which makes it a different sort of vile propaganda.

Um what the actual fuck

People are totally having a normal one recently /s.

Totally a normal thing to make a game reenacting the biggest mass killing of jews since the holocaust /s

Black Panther Party member Kathleen Cleaver on non-violence. [source]

Non-violence is a very non-functional approach in a society that's based entirely on organized force and violence. A country that was created in violence, land was taken in violence, a society that's perpetuating itself through violence in the ghettos, in Vietnam, in Africa. Wherever you look, there is organized force and violence at work to maintain this society. There is a world of difference between 20 million unarmed people, and 20 milion people organized and armed to the gills. That's Power.

Scrub Daddy vs. Liquid Nitrogen

(or a Scrub Daddy being hit with a mallet when it’s hot, cold, frozen from dry ice, and frozen from liquid nitrogen)

[deputyrook]

"oh no, that's hot" - sexual awakening through horror - a gifset for every person who ever watched a scene in a horror movie that made them feel something they'd never felt before, knowing it wasn't the 'right' thing to feel.
