Would anybody be interested in an Anti-Zionist Torah study group, set up through Patreon?
We’d read Torah portion every week and discuss it together through an anti-Zionist, leftist lense to keep our connection to Hashem strong through our radical journey towards liberation. This would be open for all; Jews and Jews in the process of returning home (you’re always one of us!) who need that guidance.
- It’d be fully flexible, so you can join at any time you’d like.
- Contribution to conversation isn’t necessary! If you just want to read along and read discussion then that’s up to you, but any discussion is important and welcome!
- Our weekly portion would mostly likely follow Torah parasha (this weeks is Beshalach), unless there’s astronger preference for just starting from the beginning (Genesis)!
- There’d be an option to donate/subscribe through Patreon, which all donations will be donated to a Palestinian organisation of our choice, every month! Evidence of such will always be posted. We think that’s a fun way to raise money for important causes!
We hope to have our website running soon, and access to the Patreon would be available there! We’ll also utilise it as a platform to post our newsletter!
Let us know what you think and hit us with any ideas! If you’d prefer to have anonymous input, please preface your message in our ask box with [STUDY] so we can see it! We get a lot of asks!

Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.
I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

EDIT: How do we show appreciation to the volunteers? For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.

But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org

He-man.org will close in 5 days.
He-man.org has been a staple of the Masters of the Universe community since the early days, originating as an email list that worked to document episodes before anything (not footage, not lists, nothing) was available online. It grew into a sprawling, multi-faceted beast of a thing, including an encyclopedia (an in-house wiki), merch lists, a marketplace, forums, anything you could think of.
Several years ago now, the main site went down for updates/maintenance. For a few weeks, we were told, maybe months. The forums remained open for fans to communicate, and barring a period of downtime earlier this year things were going smoothly.
Yesterday, the owner of the site, Val Staples, announced the site would be closed on November 14th, 2023. Six days later. We are currently attempting to contact him, to see if he’s interested in selling, and if he means closed as in “no new posts” or closed as in deleted entirely. Regardless of its eventual fate, the archiving of these forums is essential to preserving the history of the franchise, the fandom, and the brand.
Tumblr media
TO SHE-RA (and MotU) FANS SPECIFICALLY: I have personally used these forums to answer questions that could be answered nowhere else. Had I not had access to them, I would never have been able to prove that Purrsia was fake, or found so much unpublished concept art, or discovered that Scott “Toyguru” Neitlich personally wrote Catra’s MOTUC bio (even if he’s put off answering my questions about it for over a year now). Forum members have conducted interviews with the likes of Jon Seisa, Cathy Larson, Janice Varney-Hamlin—essential figures in the very foundations of POP, and those interviews revealed and recorded priceless information for future generations (me! you! us!) to find. Did you know Cathy Larson named Adora? That she originally pushed for “Dorian”, after her own daughter? We cannot let this treasure trove disappear into the ether(ia).
TO THE UNAFFILIATED: Please help. Pretty please. If you’ve ever liked my art or my writing or my haphazard blogging, ever, at all, consider archiving just one board. Just one page. Literally anything helps. I am spiraling into madness & this is my library of Alexandria. The mythical one that was totally unique and persevered nowhere else and was destroyed in a single cataclysmic event. Pretty pretty please help.
HOW TO HELP:
Archive.org has several ways to upload shit but most of them are longer term than “a few days” so we’re focusing on two (which can be run simultaneously): Save Page Now, and browser extensions. From their help page:
1. Save Page Now
Put a URL into the form, press the button, and we save the page. You will instantly have a permanent URL for your page. Please note, this method only saves a single page, not the whole site.
Tumblr media
We want to keep outlinks and screenshots wherever possible. The Archive does not keep your IP address, so your submission is anonymous.
2. Browser extensions and add-ons
Install the Wayback Machine Chrome extension in your browser. Go to a page you want to archive, click the icon in your toolbar, and select Save Page Now. We will save the page and give you a permanent URL.
Tumblr media
One plus to installing the extension is that as you surf around, when you run into a missing page they will alert you if we have a saved copy.
More extensions, apps, and add-ons:
Firefox add-on
Safari Extension
iOS app
Android app
I strongly encourage you to use these tools even if you aren’t helping with this project/after it ends. Documenting and preserving information is essential in this day and age & The Internet Archive is at the heart of it. Please support them however you can.
I’m serious about paying you, though I may need more communication with folks I don’t know so we can coordinate/verify shit gets done. I think this is a worthwhile pursuit in itself but I recognize your time is valuable & like, people gotta eat. DM me if you’re interested and we’ll talk. I may need to adjust pay depending how many people bite but I’ll do what I can

About covid being over: are we just meant to put our entire social lives, our entire society on pause forever? My mental health plummeted during lockdown and will take years to recover. Now that there's vaccines and crowd immunity and less deadly strains we ARE meant to learn to deal with it as a given, the way we have with many deadly diseases in the past, and move on. So for the sake of life moving on at some point it's **normal** to treat it as a cold, and I'm saying this as someone who's lost people during the pandemic too. Please do not fear monger.
No, but you SHOULD care about other people enough to still mask.
I am NOT fearmongering.
Covid is still dangerous, especially to the many MANY people who are immunocompromised and people who cannot get the vaccines (for whatever reason).
I know several people who THIS YEAR caught permanently disabling covid, despite all being fully vaccinated.
I am not saying you have to quarantine yourself anymore. That was NOT a thing I said. There is a world of difference between wishing that other people cared enough to MASK, a thing that is NOT HARD AT ALL, and demanding that people still observe full quarantine protocols.
Plugging your ears and closing your eyes and refusing to listen when people are still justifiably worried, and not listening to experts that haven't been pressured by the government to say 'COVID IS NOT A THREAT ANYMORE YAAAY!!!' just makes you a fool.
I know that's harsh, but it's the truth.
Hospitals are no longer required to report covid cases and covid deaths as such. This is a GIANT RED FLAG that people are happily ignoring so they can feel safe.

Just a heads up, I might remove my Accidental MerDer comic from Webtoon due to a few extremely persistent people being complete assholes who forget that some of us don’t have teams of people who work on the comic, and who are disabled/chronically ill and can’t keep up pace with the bullshit ‘Webtoon schedule’ because it’s unhealthy for even able bodied people.
It’s truly wild to me, also, that I have almost 4K people who bookmarked and are reading it, and yet virtually no Patreons or kofis from that group at all. These people are complaining that I don’t update fast enough… for a comic… they get for fucking free.
I genuinely hate what has happened to webcomics.

A lot of our posts are being hit with a “sensitive content” warning. We’re working on our website/newsletter. This is insanity, @staff you are complicit.

Hehehehehehe.
Well, don't mind if I do then.
First off, the tma/hp crossover "Terminus"?
I am SO curious about that one, cause since terminus is the fear of the end and death and everything, I'm guessing it'll have to do with the hallows? And the idea of death as the concept it is in tma being brought into the hp world give me brainworms.
(Tma in general give me brainworms, if you didn't notice the several liveblogs I wrote in, like, a week and how much I was losing my mind writing them. I did NOT sleep a lot at that time, ngl.)
Mate, I understand COMPLETELY and that's why you've hit the nail on the head: it IS about the idea of death as it exists in TMA being brought to the HP world. As well as all the other lovely entites in TMA!
The annoying thing about HP crossovers is that, more often than not, you'll see characters from other works being re-imagined in the context of the Wizarding World. But I don't want that! I want to think about Harry Potter in the framework of TMA! I want to reimagine Hogwarts and how terrifying it is and how sweetly it would feed all the entities! I want to think about which characters would be marked, or would become Avatars and about what that might mean for our story!
Some are easy, of course. Bellatrix is an Avatar of the Desolation if I've ever seen one. Dumbledore is an agent of the Web, as natural as breathing. Luna is clearly of the Spiral or the Stranger.
And Harry, well.
The boy is, at first glance, a wisp of a thing. Narrow shoulders and knobby knees, bird-boned beneath the large jumper that sits oddly and misshapen on his thin frame. The shock of unruly black hair on his head and his bright green eyes only lend credit to the almost fae quality of his movements, stilted yet graceful, like a newborn foal. To her left, a tape recorder switches on of its own accord, and Gertrude frowns. When she looks back, those bright green eyes are looking straight at her. Gertrude is no stranger to piercing gazes, to the sensation of being Seen and Known beyond reasonable doubt. She’s grown accustomed to them -- as much as anyone can grow accustomed to endless voyeuristic terror and paranoia. This is not a Knowing gaze. But there’s certainly something more to it; something that has her biting her tongue, staving off the urge to compel a statement. The boy walks towards her, motions unhurried, head tilted to the side in curiosity. His fringe moves as he does, and she spies the lightning bolt scar cutting through his forehead and brow, just shy of touching his eyelid. Ah, she thinks drily. Of course. The End, then.
