Keep your eyes on Palestine. We know the illegal occupation launches attacks when Western media is distracted.

American-Jewish visitors hold Torah scrolls at a synagogue in the old city of Damascus, Feb. 18, 2025. A Syrian-American Jewish family returned for the first time since emigrating from Syria to the United States more than three decades ago, as part of a delegation organized by the Syrian Emergency Task Force, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, in the wake of the fall of the government of former President Bashar Assad.

My copy of @drchucktingle's book Camp Damascus has arrived! (The publishers were kind enough to send me an advanced copy when I mentioned that I had ordered a copy but time was not kind to me as it was Finish Good Omens and Wrap Things Up Before the Strike world, and I had no personal reading time. So I'm really looking forward to settling down to read it.)

Camp Damascus: A Summary

[tomicscomics]

01/24/2025

Happy Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul (this Saturday)!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. In the Bible, after Jesus has ascended, His followers start spreading their updated version of Judaism, called "the Way." A villainous figure named Saul goes around capturing these proto-Christians and bringing them to Jewish authorities to face punishment for their apparent blasphemies. However, on his way to Damascus to continue persecuting the Way, he has an encounter with Jesus -- a sort of vision accompanied by a bright light that only he can see, and a voice that he and all his companions can hear. After this encounter, Saul becomes Paul, a new follower of the Way, and uses his impressive education and influence to bridge the gap between Jew and Gentile and become perhaps the most pivotal apostle in the Early Church. 2. In this cartoon, I use the term "Christian." This is anachronistic, as the term "Christian" hadn't yet been assigned to Christ's followers in Saul's time. Also, Saul did not really speak English, and was not a two dimensional cartoon creature. Also, my signature is not actually on the road to Damascus. Also--

i finished reading camp damascus yesterday so here's some unserious fancasts i came up with

KATHRYN NEWTON or SABRINA CARPENTER as ROSE DARLING

they're both blondes so it's book accurate, also i love kathryn and i would cast her in anything (especially as lesbian horror mc) and sabrina is a goofy choice alongside my willow casting

JENNA ORTEGA as WILLOW CROGALL

she will rock that bob with bangs, kiss girls and set things on fire!!!

JUSTICE SMITH as SAUL GREEN

justice smith in queer horror just makes sense also i think he'll be perfect as a gay punk who loves jesus and will take care of you (i love him)

DAN STEVENS or ROBERT PATTINSON as PASTOR PETE BEND

i'm type casting dan stevens based on his roles in abigail and cuckoo, and to be honest with you if pastor pete looked like robert i would also be seated at camp damascus (for gay reasons? not at all)

DAVID CROSS as DR. SMITH

my bf came up with this one and i still can't stop laughing at it bc it's hilarious, the chipmunks kidnapper as awful homophobic therapist

JOE CHREST as LUKE DARLING

from The Clueless Father (in lisa frankenstein) to The Evil Homophobic Jesus Stan Father

CATE BLANCHETT as LISA DARLING

milf um anyways she's blonde and pretty so it's book accurate also she's the first person i thought of

RACHEL ZEGLER as MARTINA

imagine having so strong lesbian thoughts about her that some anti-gay demon appears out of nowhere, i don't think i need to add anything

BILL SKARSKARD as ANTI-GAY DEMONS

yes. all of them.

thank you that's all, feel free to agree/disagree i had fun with it and wanted to share ;D
