“On a roadtrip astarion is the designated refueler” on a roadtrip astarion would be that good for nothing bitch who would sleep in the backseat and never take a turn driving and constantly complain about the fast food restaurant everyone agreed to go to for his sake. Shadowheart would offer to drive but everyone would find really nice ways to turn her down bc oh my god she is such a bad driver and their nerves can’t take it. Lae’zel would drive most of the way bc she’s got the necessary longevity and also control issues. Wyll would be the most phenomenal co-pilot/shotgun rider you’ve ever seen - he’d have maps on lock, he’d make sure everyone gets a fair turn with the aux, he’d provide Lae’zel with entertaining conversation so she didn’t get bored. Karlach would be the refueler, and would also buy snacks for everyone even though they all have their own money. Gale would be moral support for everybody until he gets overstimulated and has to put on his noise cancelling headphones and listen to cat purring ASMR.

MINTHARA BAENRE in BALDUR'S GATE 3 (2023)

Public speaking is actually really easy if you don't respect a single soul in that room. I've had an incredibly easy time delivering speeches when I hated everybody I saw and they all thought I did amazing because my disdain was read as confidence. I don't have any tips for you I'm just telling you a fact

I love how the dank crypt is littered with books calling out the secrets of half your companions. Like haha wow this musty book on Vampires sure is calling out the stray guy we picked up on the side of the road that's so wild

Also it took me like, four playthroughs to realise that you don't need to disarm every single fireball and vent in that room to open the sarcophagus... you just...... disarm the sarcophagus and you're good... Sorry Astarion for making you go through so much work while everyone else stayed safe in a corner it will happen again

Hello, thank you for doing the hard work of vetting evacuation fundraisers. I was recently contacted by someone in need of help, and I believe it is legitimate. Would you mind taking a look?

Hey do you mind sending me a link that has text after the slash rather than the string of numbers? Otherwise it'll give me a 502 error when I try to open the link.

Gaza Freedom Flotilla: Activists Blocked from Sailing to Gaza But Vow to Keep Trying to Break Siege

Hundreds of activists aboard the Gaza Freedom Flotilla were blocked in Turkey on Saturday as they attempted to set sail for the besieged Palestinian territory with 5,500 tons of aid. Organizers say Guinea-Bissau withdrew its flagged ships under pressure from Israel and the United States. The Gaza Freedom Flotilla brings together a “cross-section of humanity” in hundreds of community leaders from all walks of life to raise awareness of Israel’s blockade of Gaza and rally support for its end. “We are determined to stop this by direct action” where international governments “have sadly failed,” says one of the organizers of the Freedom Flotilla, the Palestinian American human rights attorney Huwaida Arraf. “This is not the end. We are pursuing this legally and politically,” she says about this latest “minor setback.” Arraf was part of the previous iteration of the 2010 Gaza Freedom Flotilla, in which 10 participants were killed in an attack from the Israeli Navy when it raided the ships in international waters.

Exclusive: Israel planning ring of checkpoints to prevent men from fleeing Rafah

Israel is setting up 'complex network' of checkpoints to prevent 'military age' men from fleeing Rafah assault, senior western official tells MEE

Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity. The checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli offensive, but unarmed, civilian Palestinian men will likely be separated from their families and remain trapped in Rafah during an expected Israeli assault. The previously unreported disclosure of Israel’s construction of a ring of checkpoints around Rafah underscores how Israel is pushing ahead with plans to attack the city where over one million displaced Palestinians are sheltering in tents and makeshift camps. The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel’s practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war. The rounding up of Palestinian males in Gaza and photographing them stripped to their underwear drew condemnation in December, with the US calling the images “deeply disturbing”. Relatives of many of the men photographed recognised them and said they had nothing to do with Hamas. Israel's military was later accused of staging footage of men surrounding weapons. “Israel considers every male a Hamas fighter until proven otherwise,” Abbas Dahouk, a former senior military advisor at the State Department and military attache in the Middle East told Middle East Eye. “It’s not a sound move. Cordoning Rafah is a daunting task and good luck separating fathers and sons from their families.”
