Masculinity: Villain or Hero? - Chris Williamson and Tucker Carlson
#Heroism
Hey Racists, maybe take each person as they come and judge them on their deeds, that way you won't look like racist arseholes every single time?

It's a profound and humbling shift in perspective. You start parenthood thinking your job is to be their guide and protector, their "hero," but then you watch them. You see their resilience in the face of challenges, their unfiltered honesty, their boundless capacity for joy over the smallest things, and their innate kindness. Suddenly, you realize they are the ones teaching you, reminding you of what's truly important.
That realization is a quiet one. They look up to you, believing you have all the answers and all the strength. Yet, secretly, you are drawing inspiration from their courage to be unapologetically themselves and their ability to face each new day with fresh eyes. They become your moral compass and your motivation, the standard of goodness you strive to meet.
The artwork presents a silhouette of a kneeling adult holding hands with a child, who carries a glowing lantern, set against a backdrop of layered mountains and a winding river illuminated by a setting sun. Above, the text "THEY THINK YOU ARE THEIR HERO. YOU REALIZE... THEY ARE YOURS" is displayed, with "LEADING THE WAY TO WHAT TRULY MATTERS." at the bottom. A rustic wooden signpost stands to the left, enhancing the scene's depth.

Umberto Eco’s List of the 14 Common Features of Fascism
"Freedom and liberation are never-ending tasks."
"There was only one Nazism,” he says, “the fascist game can be played in many forms, and the name of the game does not change.” Eco reduces the qualities of what he calls “Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism” down to 14 “typical” features. “These features,” writes the novelist and semiotician, “cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.”

Les bateaux de la #Thousand_Madleen sont en route, pour certains ils sont à 4-5 jours derrières la #global_sumud_flotilla
Ça va être compliqué pour elles/eux aussi. Pour pouvoir mettre la pression et continuer de percer (ce qu'à commencer à faire le Mikeno #heroism ) il convient de notre côté, de soutenir pour que la #strategie de l'usure fonctionne :

The crew of the Mikeno, who may have broken the siege of Gaza [UPDATE: Kidnapped by Israel]
Of 42 ships in the Global Sumud Flotilla, one made it into the waters outside Gaza. It remains unknown whether they made it to Gaza or if they have been arrested by the Israeli navy just when they were about to enter.
While not officially confirmed, the following footage allegedly shows their arrival in Gaza:

edit: It seems this post has been taken down, it was probably a video from another occasion.
Other sources claim that the Mikeno too has been captured by Israel:
https://mastodon.social/@Al_Quds_News14/115303483176696689
According to Israel via Al Jazeera, they have seized “all but one” of the vessels carrying aid:

This could refer to the Marinette, which is still just north of Cairo, or to the Mikeno, whose status is not confirmed:

Update:
It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the Global Sumud Flotilla vessel “Mikeno” was seized by the Israeli Navy.
The captain, a hero, defied direct Israeli orders to shut his engine down and seize progression. He then went completely dark, shutting off all electronics and maneuvering past their blockade. The “Mikeno” made it within 7NM of the coast of Gaza. The ship was then intercepted, seized, and boarded by naval commandos deployed from multiple Israeli warships with drones flying overhead.

The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears, and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-09), “The Art of Donald McGill,” Horizon Magazine

A ‘thoroughly white’ novel of national mythmaking: Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang at 25
"Published at the dawn of the new millennium, True History of the Kelly Gang could be read as reinstating a victimised and innocent white settler subjectivity that was well past its use-by date. It is a thoroughly white story. The almost complete absence of Indigenous characters – except as feared, shadowy figures on the periphery – and the boldness with which Carey’s Kelly claims stolen land as his own through recourse to Irish history and myth obfuscates the fact that the country Carey claims for Kelly was already deeply storied."
