1) TOMMY RAWHEAD
A ghost found in Lancashire and Yorkshire which is said to lure children into quagmires or dangerous ponds. According to Haining "it is still common to hear parents chide 'Keep away from the marl-pit or Rawhead will have you!'".

Damp little cowards so painfully aware of their worthlessness they can’t even accept a video game where they’re the villains.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

I'm out on another short walk as unofficial town sorcerer. No town anywhere in the world has yet to hire me as official town sorcerer but that's OK. I do what I can with what I have. I've brought my bag of rolled oats, a bag of unsalted peanuts, chapstick, an asthma inhaler, a small ET figurine.

On the other, the ENORMOUS JUSTICE MAN getting to be goofy and a just ludicrously stacked supporting cast.

friends, unfortunately I am in need of some help again to keep a roof over my head

we are moving out of this flat on the 17th (in 10 days) we got for the month, and nowhere to go with very little funds so far

I am trying to raise about 1500 Euros while I am interviewing and applying to grants

Pay Berrak Nil Boya using PayPal.Me

Go to paypal.me/berrakn and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

sociology and anthropology are dangerous to them, because those fields help us understand the power dynamics, ethics, and human cost of what the industries they like better are doing.
Performing arts is hugely important for the economy, but it doesn't benefit them directly.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

This is one of the last workspaces still functioning in all of Gaza, and it’s in the north where the IOF is focusing its ground invasion. And the kids are still coming for their exams, and the team is still helping them—to ground their community in the land and resist ethnic cleansing. Join in.

I don’t care about being correct. If you care about digital rights, this is a volunteer-run tech space supporting dozens of kids for their exams this week. In Gaza City. Which is being invaded.
