There is always too much money available to punish the vulnerable, then conversely no money to make their lives worse.

From the Freedom Flotilla, April 27 2024:

On Thursday afternoon, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition was contacted by the Guinea Bissau International Ships Registry (GBISR), requesting an inspection of our lead ship – Akdenez. This was a highly unusual request as our ship had already passed all required inspections; nevertheless, we agreed. The inspector arrived on Thursday evening. On Friday afternoon, before the inspection was completed, the GBISR, in a blatantly political move, informed the Freedom Flotilla Coalition that it had withdrawn the Guinea Bissau flag from two of the Freedom Flotilla’s ships, one of which is our cargo ship, already loaded with over 5000 tons of life-saving aid for the Palestinians of Gaza. In its communication informing us of this cancelation, the GBISR made specific reference to our planned mission to Gaza. It also made several extraordinary requests for information, including confirmation of the ships’ destination, any potential additional port calls, and the discharge port for humanitarian aid and estimated arrival dates and times. It further demanded a formal letter explicitly approving the transportation of humanitarian aid and a complete manifest of the cargo. Again, this is a highly unusual move from a flagging authority. Normally, national flagging authorities concern themselves only with safety and related standards on vessels bearing their flag, and are not concerned with the destination, route, cargo manifests or the nature of a specific voyage. Just like when you register your car, the authorities don’t require you to detail to them every place you are going to go with the car. Sadly, Guinea-Bissau has allowed itself to become complicit in Israel’s deliberate starvation, illegal siege and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Israel is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International Humanitarian Law, UN Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice. [...] without a flag, we cannot sail. But, this is not the end. Israel cannot and will not crush our resolve to break its illegal siege and reach the people of Gaza. The people of Gaza and all of Palestine remain steadfast under the most horrific, unimaginable conditions. We take strength from their incredible, inexplicable ability to maintain their humanity, dignity and hope when the world has given them no reason to do so. It is our responsibility to keep that hope alive. WE WILL SAIL.

The Freedom Flotilla, which was set to depart from Turkey on the 27th of April with 5000 tons of life-saving aid, has now been delayed because Israel and the United States has pressured Guinea Bissau to withdraw its flag from the Flotilla's lead ship.

Seeing as how their tactics worked on Guinea Bissau, organizers now fear that Israel and the US will exert the same pressure on whichever country the Freedom Flotilla attempt to register their ship under next.

To help the Freedom Flotilla reach Gaza, please keep an eye out for further updates from the organizers. Right now, as of April 27th, they're asking people to help boost their visibility, and to donate to their member campaigns.

Reminder that anything spoiler related will be posted after May 12, 2024

I’m baaaack~

No spoilers, I will be putting anything related to the show on a one month queue (nothing will be posted for one month). It will also be tagged as #falloutshowspoilers

If it just involves the characters and nothing plot related, it will not be queued.

I personally enjoyed it. The writing was a little bit cringy in some parts, but I honestly expected that.

How I’ve been welcoming the new Fallout fans:

Dark Star :: Available here

fallouttt horses. I don't have a snazzy name for them, they're just my silly little guys.

Transcript cause my handwriting is bad:

Fanged mouth - used for offence and defense. They are opportunistic predators and will often eat small animals like mice and lizards, or birds if they can catch them.

Bristles - Bristles on their withers/shoulder and on their croup are tough and sharp, meant to dissuade any predator who might be big enough to grab them or jump on their back. These are frequently cut down for the comfort of the horse and rider.

Spurs and secondary spurs - Spurs for defense. They are larger on males than on females. Not every horse has secondary spurs; Spurs are usually shaved down by farriers for workhorses or horses kept in herds to prevent injuries.

Three toed hind feet - toed hind feet give the hoof more grip when turning and on uneven terrain.

Standard bred horses are found all over. Decently healthy, decently strong and fast, they're good workhorses and riding horses both. Usually even tempered, they can be prone to fighting.

Heavy bred horses are usually workhorses or cart horses. They have good endurance and good health, but poor speed. They are calm horses, and don't tend to get aggravated easily.

Desert bred horses are fast and have good endurance, but they are badly tempered and difficult to train. They are favored mounts of Legionaries due to their intelligence and the ease of care, but they can frequently injure their riders.
