I suspect this will not protect me, but I’ll say it: I almost only share fundraisers I host, and EACH (linktr.ee/divyamp) has a public account for transparency & trust. These are linked in their Chuffed descriptions. The giving circle’s is also linked in our toolkit (linktr.ee/hopegivingcircle).

My children are freezing tonight.

No blankets. No winter clothes. Just shaking bodies and silent tears.

$400 can give them warmth.

Please don’t scroll past this.

Sama’a is wearing a black hijab, a white sweatshirt with Mickey Mouse on the front, and black pants, and holding sleeping baby Talia in her arm who is swaddled in a white blanket and wearing a white headband with a bow. Three year old Julia stands at her hip, wearing a blue green plaid dress witha white collar, white shoes with rose gold flowers, and her dark hair is in pigtails. 4 month old Baby Talia lying on her back over a white embroidered pillow. She is wearing a blue hooded sweater with a white cotton shirt underneath, and burgundy pants, holding a bottle of milk that is hiding most of her face. Her three year old sister Julia is lying next to her, her hand helping to keep the bottle steady. She is wearing a purple sweater and her hair is a mess of dark curls. Both girls are looking directly into the camera with big brown eyes. 3 year old Julia sitting inside of a tent, on a green and grey patterned rug. She is wearing pale pink sweats. She has light skin and her dark curly hair is pulled back into pigtails. Baha’a (father, not pictured) taking a photo as he holds 4 month old Talia at his chest, you can see his hand holding her up. She is wearing mint green fuzzy pajamas with an animal print, and looking over her shoulder. She has light brown skin and a mess off dark hair on her head.

of course none of the potentially violated TOS IS defined, nor does the email even specify which of them nicola violated.

implication: anyone still directly using bsky who posts a link to any fundraiser is fair game.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. And in case you never gave it a fair shake, DS9 is absolutely the real deal good shit. Ok, so here we see a fella named Damar. He's a Cardassian with a "C" not the other ones. He's got a boney ridgey facial structure because he's not human, with spiney features on his face and forehead and around his eyes. And a mega thicc neck too. He's wearing a military shell type armour outfit that also looks hard and tough. He's addressing the camera, as if he's making some kind of announcement. It's 3 screenshots but the visual is all the same. Damar looking serious as a heart attack. Closed caption reads, "RESIST. RESIST TODAY. RESIST TOMORROW."

Loppa vom Spiegel (14th Century), Latinized Loppa de Speculo, was a nun of the Poor Clares order, scribe of medieval texts and music manuscripts, and book illuminator in Cologne.
Codex for Konrad von Rennenberg, before 1357. Cologne, Archbishop's Diocesan and Cathedral Library, Cod. 149, fol. 51v. An illustration of Jesus in the Cross, with a dark blue background and golden framing. Two mourning women to his sides, I assume Mary and Magdalene, and on each corner, the evangelists symbols, angel, eagle, leon, and bull. An Antiphonal contains the choral parts sung during the celebration of the Divine Office or Mass celebrated by a monastic or other community. This type of choirbook was usually written in large format so that the whole choir could read the music at once. This example was made at the convent of St Klara in Cologne by one of the nuns, Sister Loppa de Speculo. Another surviving leaf records that Sister Jutta paid for the book while Loppa carried out the writing, lining (putting in the staves for the music), notation and illumination 'in the year 1350, when there was a great plague everywhere'. This was one of a series of books produced in the convent. The Abbess, Heylwigis von Beechoven, who had ruled the convent since 1344, is portrayed kneeling by the historiated initial of the Descent of the Holy Ghost on the Virgin and Apostles associating her prayer with this crucial event, when the Holy Spirit came to earth and the mission of the Apostles to spread the Christian revelation began. The prayer of her convent was thus part of the mission. If we take at face value the claim that Sister Loppa did all the illumination (it is always possible that parts of it were contracted out, paid for by Sister Jutta), it appears that grotesques and birds (a heron seems to be shown) were the accepted form of ornament even in this convent environment. The initial looks German, but the three pointed leaves on their swirling stems may show an effort to copy Parisian or other French styles. Other leaves from this manuscript are in Stockholm and in Cologne itself, collected by the founders of the Wallraf-Richartz Museum who wanted to assemble works to show the antiquity of a local school of painting.
