Resistance.

A shirtless young Palestinian man stands in defiance, holding a large Palestinian flag high above his head as black smoke fills the sky behind him. His face is tense with determination, his body covered in dust and sweat. One arm stretches upward, gripping the flagpole tightly, while the other pulls back a slingshot — symbolising both resistance and resilience. Around him, a few other people, some wearing press vests and helmets, move amid the chaos, partially obscured by the thick smoke. The Palestinian flag — red, green, white, and black — waves powerfully against the dark, smoky background, becoming a striking symbol of courage, struggle, and liberation in the face of overwhelming oppression.

I often think about how the Fate rules for Dresden gave me new perspective that you heal soul/spirit damage by spending time with people especially good friends, found family, good actual family, etc. Play games, share a drink, make a meal together. So you deserve it, and have a blast!

Fun fact: Doctor Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, close friend of Trump and RFK Jr., and self-admitted fraudulent supplement huckster, sells multiple forms of leucovorin through his supplement company, iHerb, which he didn’t divest when taking his federal gov role.

Anyway watch the stocks of whoever has the patent of leucovorin go up after the announcement. That’s all this is. Promoting Leucovorin so adults force their kids to ingest it to “cure their autism”.

But what is Leucovorin and why are they claiming it cures autism? 👇

Today's #InvestingIn reflects upon Godsrain, War of Immortals, Prey for Death, Battlecry! and more as we theorize on the full implications of Gorum's death but even further back from the very first plan to entrap Rovagug.

So there are plans!

Rob Pontious 🔜 PAX Unplugged @silentinfinity.bsky.social · Sep 10

I think there was a plan. @aroden.bsky.social, did you and Gorum have a plan? Don't blink that eye if yes.

More theory-crafting tomorrow with a focus on Godsrain from @paizo.com over on my @knowdirection.bsky.social article.
