NEW: Seth Moulton becomes the first candidate in a Democratic primary for Senate to officially announce that he will return and henceforth reject donations from AIPAC

Seth for
Massachusetts
I am returning AIPAC donations and refusing to accept any donations or support from them. The FEC filing I made yesterday reflects that we are returning donations. Below is my statement explaining why:
I'm cautiously optimistic that the recent breakthrough in Gaza will move us closer to ending the horrific violence in the region. A political resolution that allows Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace is exactly the kind of framework I've been calling for from the beginning.
I support Israel's right to exist, but l've also never been afraid to disagree openly with AIPAC when I believe they're wrong.
In recent years, AIPAC has aligned itself too closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. I'm a friend of Israel, but not of its current government, and AlPAC's mission today is to back that government. I don't support that direction. That's why l've decided to return the donations I've received and will not be accepting their support.

Ghost turnip, Fintown, County Donegal, Ireland, c. 1900 (replica), National Museum of Ireland

Frightening face carved into a turnip to place a candle in

"In 1943 the National Museum of Ireland received a turnip lantern from a schoolteacher, Rois Ní Braonáin who was teaching near Fintown, Co. Donegal. She stated that it was the type that was always made in that locality around 1900. This plaster-cast model was created and painted by the museum artist, Eileen Barnes.

Candles were placed inside the turnips and they were used to frighten people on the night of 31 October. The pumpkin that is prevalent today is an American development of this Irish tradition." https://www.museum.ie/en-IE/Collections-Research/Collection/Top-things-to-see-in-the-Irish-Folklife-Collection/Artefact/Ghost-turnip/b202e8ea-0728-4b3d-b0f1-82660fe45ce9

It's over: I've already depicted you as the seething broad gauge train, and myself as the smug narrow gauge!

A sketch of two steam trains, human faces on the front. The title above them says 'The Broad Gauge and the Narrow Gauge'. The narrow gauge train is looking unbearably smug, then broad gauge absolutely raging. In the smoke, they are communicating, the broad gauge saying "You are a locomotive" and the narrow saying "You are another".

#MÖRKTOBER day 16: Obelisk

"She’s been drowning for seven hundred years. The binding won’t let her die but won’t let her cough it up. Won’t let her forget what breathing felt like."

Words by @loottheroom.bsky.social, art by me.

MÖRKTOBER Day 16: Obelisk
KESS THE THRICE-DROWNED
Kess the Thrice-Drowned, once Glopstepalof’s court wizard before the swamp fell and he discovered his own route into magic. She helped the giants design the drainage channels in exchange for their secrets of stone-shaping. When Glopstepalof discovered her betrayal, he bound her to this obelisk and filled her lungs with water from the old swamps, the last vestige of his kingdom preserved within the one who wielded the knife that killed it.
She’s been drowning for seven hundred years. The binding won’t let her die but won’t let her cough it up. Won’t let her forget what breathing felt like. If she could speak she might tell you where Glopstepalof’s tower stands, or how she helped to ward it. But she can’t.

Kess the Thrice-Drowned
HP ∞ (can’t die while bound) Armour − Morale – Defence DR8
(too weak to resist)
Can't speak. Can't attack. Can't move.
When struck or cut, brackish water sprays from her wounds. Test Agility DR12 or be splashed. Those touched by the water test Presence DR14 or experience vivid memories of the old swamp kingdoms at the height of their verdant beauty. The visions fade after d6 hours, leaving a profound sense of loss (all tests +2 DR until the next dawn).

Illustration: Old woman in robes hanging bound on an obelisk. In her belt are severed heads and two bells. She is spewing blackish water into a pool at the obelisk's base.
