ARE YOU SERIOUS
Go for it Kaveh !
āI got his official perfume,,,, eeueueuueheueuuu,,,
Reuploading š«£ I forgot his earrings
The parallels between Kaveh and his mother and what this implies for Kaveh and Alhaitham
(This is an excerpt taken from my Haikaveh essay! If you're interested you can check it out here or as a pdf <3)
When discussing Kavehās mother, Faranak, with her old teacher Zaha Hadi in order to discover the password that will unlock Faranakās journal, ācompanionshipā is given as the password over āunderstandingā. This is due to Faranak placing more value in the companionship of Kavehās father over him understanding her artistry, as despite his lack of understanding, he stayed at her side regardless in order to āsupportā her. Zaha Hadi states that Kavehās fatherās support was likely the reason that Faranak chose him over her āmany admirersā, which Kaveh then equates to ācompanionshipā:
A romantic connotation is created by the association of ācompanionshipā with the relationship between Kavehās mother and father. Although companionship is also assigned to a platonic connection, pictured in Faranakās journal of the gathering consisting of Tighnariās parents, Alhaithamās parents, and Cynoās adoptive father. Her advice to Kaveh of pursuing companionship, too, falls in the platonic category, as she states for him to: āseek a friendā in order to gain support. Companionship, then, becomes dually used for romantic and platonic connections.
It is interesting then, that Faranak herself can be used as an allusion to Kaveh. This is emanated in how the two share many similarities, not only in physical attributes, their studying in Kshahrewar, and their shared profession as an architect, but also in their mannerisms and their method of working.
Just as Faranak keeps a diary, Kaveh writes in an āOld Sketchbookā. Faranak is described as a āperfectionistā who insisted on redesigning drafts, just as Kaveh designs six drafts for a singular client.
She is also described to have a āsensitive and vulnerable heartā, just as Kaveh is described to be āsensitiveā due to his empathetic nature.
Just like Kaveh, she is said to have gotten into a āheated argumentā with a friend, presumably over conflicting viewpoints on art. As an artist, her woes are that of Kavehās, stemming from being misunderstood by others.
As she is directly compared with Kaveh and as their similarities are listed, it can be inferred that the two are to be paralleled due to their resemblance. It is relevant then to look to her view of her relationship with Kavehās father as it provides a perspective of an ideal companion for a struggling artist:
This is interesting in regard to the relationship presented here to that which exists between Kaveh and Alhaitham.
Kaveh and Alhaitham have a mutually deep understanding of each other, which creates a sense of intimacy that they share with no other character. Additionally, Kaveh has the similar struggle of being eclipsed by a ādreamā in his heart, as in, his ideals conflicting with his own self-interest. Kavehās father, rather than understanding Kaveh's mother's ideals in relation to himself, seeks to support her, ālisten[ing] to her joys and share[ing] in her sorrowsā. This is a similar statement to Alhaithamās ālisten[ing] intentlyā to Kavehās troubles when meeting in a tavern, calling to question Kavehās pursuit of his ideals: āHow has realising your ideals gone for you?ā

I started drawing this just after the technical test live stream and crossed my fingers what I wrote matched lore wise. Cool thing I figured out while coloring is that Melinoe's hair is the same color as her mom's. Like same hex code. Which is sweet.
I dunno if Hypnos is actually just sleeping til' this all blows over or if he's trapped in a coma or if he's doing some heavy lifting in the dream realm, but I miss his commentary on my stupid deaths.
well, my heart is gold and my hands are cold
CLADISTICS ruined my life
yall joke but this is actually a serious conundrun with cladistic-based classification
The choice is this:Ā
Birds are reptilesĀ
Or crocodilians (and probably turtles) ARENTĀ
Thatās it, thatās the choiceĀ
What if Bird and reptiles are two different things that came from the same thing
NopeĀ
Because you canāt group (lizards, snakes, tuatara, turtles, crocodilians) without also including (birds)Ā
So if you donāt want to include birds in reptiles then you have to leave out some things weāve called reptilesĀ
birds are dinosaurs though, full stop. weāve already defined what a dinosaur is and it includes birds. but reptiles isnāt really defined so much as thrown against a wall angrily.Ā
But donāt turtles and alligators have more in common with modern reptiles than modern birds have in common with modern reptiles? Iām not trying to contradict, Iām trying to understand. Mammals and reptiles have a common ancestor as well, but we do not make them the same group.
Itās not about having things in common. Itās about common ancestry, which is how we classify animals in light of extinct species, which defy trait-based classification.Ā
And, the common ancestor of [lizards, snakes, tuatara, turtles, crocodilians] by definition is also the common ancestor of birds. It is NOT the common ancestor of mammals.Ā
So, either we decide that Tuatara Lizards and Snakes are the only reptiles, or we include birds as reptiles. Or we just decide reptiles are no longer a thing.Ā
donāt throw reptiles against the wall? please? some of them are small and delicate. you could hurt them.
Basically, unless weāre maybe talking massive horizontal gene transfer, everything is still part of the group that came before it.Ā
You are technically a fish.
IIRC the fish thing is so frustrating that scientists have decided fish is just not real cladistic grouping at all
hey could we go back please to the bit where the closest relative of Birds is Crocodiles? bc I am alarmed
Well, technically theyāre equally-closely related to crocodiles, alligators, gharials and tomistomas. As archosaurs, theyāre all descended from small reptiles that looked something like thisĀ
The two main groups of archosaurs are the Pseudosuchia, or crocodile-line archosaurs, and the Ornithodira, or bird-line archosaurs. Both groups were massively diverse in prehistory, with the Pseudosuchia dominating most land-based niches in the Triassic, and the Ornithodira, especially the dinosaurs, doing the same during the Jurassic and Cretaceous. However, most of them have been wiped out due to the Triassic and Cretaceous mass extinctions, leaving them each with only one surviving clade: Aves, the true birds, and Crocodylia, the semiaquatic, ambush predators like crocs and gators.Ā
My brain was not ready for this first thing in the morning, and yet I still felt like a kid listening to a talk at a museum

A black girl will be spending years in jail because she had a mental health crisis. PLEASE READ
Meet Sarya: she was experiencing a mental health crisis. Police came and tackled her. She is 15.
Saraya Rees is a 15 year old biracial girl from Coos County, Oregon. After being abruptly instructed to stop taking her antidepressants by a local pediatrician, Saraya went into psychosis. In her manic state, Saraya poured a small amount of gasoline on the floor. Her parents called Coos Health & Wellness in hope that that would send mental health advisors, Coos Health & Wellness sent the police. While still in psychosis, the officers arrested her, questioned her without her family or lawyers present, charged with attempted murder and assault, and sent her to juvenile prison for 11 years.
This is not justice.
This is inhumane.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:
Call these people and demand that she be let go to the custody in her parents.
Please call Governor Kate Brown and Senator Jeff Merkely.ā
ā
šGovernor Kate Brown: (503) 378-4582ā

Follow @justiceforsaraya on instagram. You can find info on where to send her Christmas cards and get updated on progress.
The instagram handle for information on Sarayaās case and updatesĀ is actually @Justice4Saraya

@resource-ids
i found this petition too (tw for racism, ableism, weight mention, murder mention, police brutality)
So Iāll cut to the chase on this since a lot of people are dying, drowning, and screaming for help in Cagayan and Isabela, Philippines. A lot of them have also been stranded and are standing on their rooftops as we speak.
Iām here to post a collection of donation drives that Iāve gathered online. If we canāt help them physically, we can at least make sure they have monetary assistance, food and clothing once theyāre evacuated.
This is how Cagayan looks, from recent photos (not mine)
TW: screams and shouts for help
HOW TO HELP
DONATION DRIVES
Please feel free to add on this post for any other ways to help.
For context:
The Philippines has been hit by three consecutive typhoons this month alone: Quinta, Rolly (Goni internationally) and Ulysses. Itās been hitting nearly the same areas, which has made them even more vulnerable now that theyāre still recovering from the previous typhoons. Our mountain ranges couldnāt shield us from this due to heavy quarrying and deforestation.
That said, these arenāt the only places in need of assistance. But these are the places in urgent need of help. And weāre trying to do as best as we can with what little we have.
Iāll update this post from time to time for full transparency.

PLEASE HELP REBLOG
Hereās an FB post of different donation drives from youth orgs, NGOs and other volunteer groups.Ā

The Philippines just got hit by the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded in history
Yesterday, November 1, 2020, Typhoon Rolly (international name Goni) hit the central part of Luzon, Philippines.Ā
source: https://twitter.com/DrJeffMasters/status/1322676688002625536?s=20
Like the tweet said, it is the most powerful tropical cyclone to hit landfall in recorded history.Ā
The typhoon has now passed, but the aftermath is bad. Houses destroyed, farmlands flooded, and many, many evacuees. If you would like to see whatās going on, check the hashtag #RollyPH on Twitter, thereās a lot, which brings me to the most important point
how you can help
You can donate to help relief operations.Ā
There are many donation drives currently being circulated on Twitter, and you can find them by searching the #ReliefPH hashtag, here are just a few that Iāve found that have an option to donate through PayPal.

And there are many many more.Ā
This is just the tip of the iceberg, a lot of people in my country are trying their absolute best to chip in and help those affected, but help from outside would definitely be something that could go a long way.Ā
If you canāt donate, maybe a reblog could bring this post to people who could.Ā
Thank you for reading. Stay safe and healthy, everybody.

As of September 1 2020
Donāt let their names fade. injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Do you know that there is a city on Earth that actually lives in a dystopian future? and it's terrifying.
Who are the Uighurs?
The Uighurs are mostly Muslims, and number about 11 million in western Chinaās Xinjiang region. They see themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations, and their language is similar to Turkish.
But in recent decades, thereās been a mass migration of Han Chinese (Chinaās ethnic majority) to Xinjiang, and the Uighurs feel their culture and livelihoods are under threat.
Nowhere in the world, not even in North Korea, is the population monitored as strictly as it is in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region.Ā Oppression has been in place for years, but has worsened massively in recent months.
- Uighurs can no longer openly practice Islam
- Men are not allowed to wear beards. Exception only for old people
- They can no longer learn their native language at school
- They cannot move freely around the country and cannot leave it
- All mosques have been turned into shops and office centers
Beijing has also turned Xinjiang into a security state that is extreme even by Chinaās standards, being a police state itself. The provincial government has recruited over 90,000 police officers in the last two years alone - twice as many as it recruited in the previous seven years.Ā
At the same time, Beijing is equipping the far-western region with state-of-the-art surveillance technology, with cameras illuminating every street all over the region, from the capital Urumqi to the most remote mountain village. Iris scanners and WiFi sniffers are in use in stations, airports and at the ubiquitous checkpoints - tools and programs that allow data traffic from wireless networks to be monitored.
Checkpoints are installed in every district of the city. In simple terms, you can not get from one area of the city to another without passing the checkpoint and the police.
The data is then collated by an āintegrated joint operations platformā that also stores further data on the populace ā from consumer habits to banking activity, health status and indeed the DNA profile of every single inhabitant of Xinjiang.
Anyone with a potentially suspicious data trail can be detained. The government has built up a grid of hundreds of re-education camps. Tens of thousands of people have disappeared into them in recent months.
āQu xuexi,ā meaning to go or be sent to study, is one of the most common expressions in Xinjiang these days. It is a euphemism for having been taken away and not having been seen or heard from since. The āschoolsā are re-education centers in which the detainees are being forced to take courses in Chinese and patriotism, without any indictment, due process or a fair hearing.
Xinjiang, one of the most remote and backward regions in booming China, has become a real-life dystopia. It provides a glimpse of what an authoritarian regime armed with 21st century technology is capable of.
Uighurs are very intimidated and refuse to talk to the press, even if they miraculously escaped the country.Ā
Whatās happening in China is terrible. Maybe some people finally realize that the concentration camps are the reality of our time. There are concentrationĀ camps in America too. Donāt forget that.Ā
sourceĀ

Glad I learned about this in school. Iām sure not many people have though, so here. Itās terrible.
The situation with Chinese internment camps for the Uighur people is only going to become more aggressive unless they are pressured from other countries. For that to happen more people need to be informed on whatās happening, but unfortunately the nature of Chinese security makes it difficult to find a plethora of first hand sources, apparently.
If youād rather listen to a basic outline of the problem, hereās a very well done conversation piece from Chris Hayesās podcast, Why is This Happening.
