Caught From Afar

From the mundane to the marvelous; the everyday to the everlasting...

Hey everyone! Introducing my Relic Candles, good old fashioned hand made mold making and casting. They're real candles, with a hand laid wick, and hand carved and colored numerals down the vertebrae.

These are poured wax into a silicone and epoxy mold that I built on my kitchen table. I was able to preserve detail of the castings by incorporating a matrix of channels to vent trapped air out as the wax is poured in. Feel free to ask questions!

Follow me over on twitch if you wanna see stuff like this get made live! Same handle, @midwestmonsterquest

I can't wait for autumn.

Fresh, cool air. Wearing coats, hoodies, and boots. A cool breeze rustling through the colourful leaves in the trees. Walking through leaves. Rain and umbrellas. Soft, golden light. Curling up with a book and a blanket. Hot coffee and cinnamon buns. Early sunsets. Enlightened windows. Studying in the twilight. The flicker of candles and the smell of cinnamon. Halloween and watching scary movies.

‘I can’t discuss Israel with my anti-Zionist kids – it’s pointless.’ - The Jewish Chronicle

Meet the Jewish parents whose families have split since October 7

Two months after October 7, Sarah’s* eleven-year-old daughter Talia* quietly deposited the Star of David she had been given as a baby on her mother’s dressing room table. It was not a casual gesture. The previous week, she had told her mother that she was resigning as a Jew.

...

“After the big march against antisemitism in London in November 2023, I kept a big Israeli flag in our kitchen but it would regularly disappear” says Sarah “When I asked Talia if it was anything to do with her, she confessed and said she didn’t want her best friend, a non-Jewish girl and frequent visitor to our home to see it.”

...

Dalia*, an Israeli and Israel activist in London, knows all about the yelling that often accompanies in this inter-generational rift. “My daughter has screamed that I am a Nazi and I have called her a kapo which I regret but I am horrified by the anti-Israel sentiments that come out of her mouth.” Her 22-year-old daughter works in the arts and Dalia thinks this is part of the problem. “Being anti-Israel is an article of faith in her professional circles and if you are dare to stand up for Israel, you are bullied.”

'I have called my daughter a kapo because she's anti-genocide' is perhaps one of the most insane things I've read today.

I think the Holocaust survivors would sympathize with the genocide victims

So I read the article and it's kinda wild how all these parents (except the 11 yr old) blame their kids views on post secondary. It's very much in line with a lot of conservative parents (like my own) who think academia brainwashes you.

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of issues with Western academia. But I do find it really enlightening that people get mad at their kids for essentially thinking too much. Basically telling on themselves.

Also everyone hates the arts + humanities - cause it's a really effective way to discover how fucked everything is.

Anyways, good on those kids. It's so hard to split from your family like that. They got a lot of strength.

[socialistexan]

Oh.

We're at "traffic tickets are justification for disappearing people off the street and sending them to death camps with no due process" levels of fascism now.

Okay yeah we're like fucked, fucked.

[socialistexan]

I feel like it has been repeated hundreds times in the past month, but eliminating due process (something Constitution explcitly spells out as a right afforded to anyone on American soil, regardless of status) for "non-citizens" or "terrorists" or "criminals" before they are sent to a foreign torture prison camp.

It doesn't matter if you committed a crime or not, all they have to do is say you did, you have no way of presenting evidence to say you didn't. If being accused of a crime is what eliminates your ability to prove that you haven't committed a crime, an accusation is all it takes.

It doesn't matter if you are a citizen, all they have to is say you aren't one. How can you prove your a citizen with no hearing? No evidence can be presented. "Oh I'll just present my documents" (leaving aside that "papers please" is classic fascism), they can just say your documents are fake and you have no way to disprove them wrong if suspected non-citizens have no right to due process.

And how will citizen even be defined moving forward? They're already trying to eliminate birthright citizenship (again, something explicitly spelled out in the Constitution), therefore the concept of citizenship can be changed at any second on any whim. Citizenship could mean someone who is born in a country. It could mean having to prove every relative going back a certain number of generations were citizens. It could mean only people who agree with a certain ideology, only those who kiss the king's ring.

Their current push to say any trans person is committing identity fraud? Well, that means none of your ID documents are valid, you can't prove you're a citizen, time to go to El Salvador.

Did you participate in an anti-Teala protest? The AG is trying to define that as domestic terrorism, and now "terrorists" have no due process, go straight to the camps.

Did you look funny at a Gestapo ICE Agent? That's a criminal threat to a law enforcement officer, and criminals get no due process, see you in Guantanamo.

I don't think y'all understand quite how bad this is.
