The Boar God's Gift | Ursulav

"I cannot help you," the boar-god said.

"All I can give you is one night of sleep. No dreams or demons or doubts will approach you."

"Thank you," I said.

"It is a small thing," said the boar-god, "but small things are the beginning of courage."

Ink drawing by Ursulav of a small woman curled up next to a gigantic boar deep in the forest, both of them fast asleep.

Samesies. Got blown out on my starter but found the vowels with my backup & made good guesses from there.

Don't take my word for it.

Read the HAMAS Covenant.

They make no attempt to hide their mission to kill Jewish people, all the Jewish ppl.

Jews & Zionists are mentioned 12 times. Israel, only 4.

If you think it's just HAMAS in Gaza, oh no!

The Palestinian Authority pays ppl for killing Jews

It's their deepest fear. Not "The Blacks," not "Soros-globalists-Jews," not "commies."

Spanish speaking Americans. A taco truck on every corner. A stark reminder of an inexorably shifting demographic.

It's why they chanted "Build the wall" and "Mass deportations now."

Spoetzl Brewery, Shiner, Texas

1/4

Founded in 1909 by German and Czech migrants, it is Texas' oldest independent craft brewery

The brewery survived prohibition officially by selling near beer and ice (though the brewmaster, Kosmos Spoetzl, had an arrest for bootlegging)

I should check her work out . . . . after all, I've read everything her late husband Andrew ever wrote.

Plus, you know . . . . I mean. It's CHICAGO.

If they want to advocate for some brown people I think there MAY be some a whole lot closer to home who could actually benefit from their white saviorhood.

I'm just saying. 🤷‍♂️

Polycule of One, Hive of K #🟦 @polyculeofone.bsky.social · 10h

I guess sanctimonious angry white savior posturing is just more .... *convenient* if the brown people you're "rescuing" aren't actually RIGHT FUCKING THERE.

It's like the anti-abortion fetus fetishists: virtue signaling that costs you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Schrodinger's Palestinians!

Since when do people stand for "God Bless America?" Is that a thing now with the mouth breathers?

I thought we only stood for the Pledge & the Anthem.

Right? All that smoke for Kamala and NONE for ICE? Not even a LITTLE?

And still screaming about a "genocide" that never even occurred, while an actual ceasefire is in progress. Guess Hamas didn't put out the memo! 🤷‍♂️

I'm in my sixties, but the first time my ex-wife heard the words "I might be wrong" come out of my mouth she almost fainted dead away. 😂

I will just say this: if I don't know I will SAY that I don't know, or keep quiet. But if I DO speak up, it's likely I've done some reading & put in the work.

No one does. 😂

That's why it takes 10X as long to debunk bullshit as it does to spread it, and why the conversion rate ISN'T going to be 100% when you do.

Western nations need a wake up call. It's going to get very ugly if we don't face up to what we're allowing to fester.

It's a steep ask, getting someone to face they've been bamboozled.

Seriously. Easier to fool 'em than to make them see they've BEEN fooled. That would mean admitting it.

Just straight up calling for the destruction of Israel and death to the Jews, based on nothing but Hamasshole lies & propaganda.

And allowed, somehow, to keep breathing, let alone to continue spreading hate. 🤬

Same. It's one of my favorites that I've posted so far, and Los Feliz is a wonderful LA neighborhood.

The rooms & views & pool are all spectacular but the child's bedroom & the office are both just .... *swoons*

Child's bedroom with green pictorial wallpaper and neutral toned checkerboard rug.

Luxurious office with dark walls, built in bookshelves, Midcentury desk and sheepskin upholstered chair.

"I'm not president."

Yep, you got what you wanted. She's not in power and not in any position to influence the regime. And yet.

ONE chance. 😂

Everything you're spouting is Hamasshole fucktwaddle. 🙄

But you're not worth arguing about it with, so go scream into the abyss or something.
