LEGA, "PRIEST" OF THE MORNINGLORD "Hail the light!" Lega Bugosi claims to be a priest of the Morninglord, whose church once held sway across Barovia. He claims to seek spiritual revival. His stole is embroidered with initials---not his. #sketchpractice #dnd #ravenloft 1/

This will be my first time playing Castle Ravenloft! Been a while since I did actual D&D. Am playing a totally-legit Cleric -one with +6 Deception and a familiar shape-shifted into a raven. (Thought it appropriate for Ravenloft. The gods are not who they say they are.) 2/2

Malaysia x ada polisi untuk handle pelarian, tapi nak tunjuk hero. Bila kegagalan polisi kita inevitably affect mangsa genocide, kita maki hamun diorang dengan cacian rasis dan ugutan untuk deport ke kawasan perang. Sbb tu Malaysia yg 100% salah dan kita yang patut minta maaf.

So, supposedly, the Palestine embassy raised concerns about the treatment of the refugees at Wisma Terminal since last week. Lack of treatment, follow-ups, basic needs, limited communication with families in Gaza and Egypt, can't leave Wisma Terminal. nst.com.my/news/nation/2024/…

Malaysia is more religious than ever, tapi last-last mintak orang Palestin balik Gaza biar mati kena bom dengan Israel jugak. So, apa point all this religiosity, kalau dengan mangsa genocide pun tak boleh nak berbuat baik? Religion makes people good my foot la.

We stand in solidarity with the pro-Palestine protesters who were detained near the US Embassy yesterday. We're deeply concerned by the actions of the authorities and the state of freedom of expression under @anwaribrahim's government Full statement here: bit.ly/statement011024
Joint Statement - 1 October 2024 - Drop investigations into seven pro-Palestine protesters detained near the US Embassy

ALT Joint Statement - 1 October 2024 - Drop investigations into seven pro-Palestine protesters detained near the US Embassy

The arrest of these demonstrators for voicing their stance on an issue of international concern – the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon – sends a chilling message about the state of free speech and the right to protest in Malaysia. That these individuals were detained for peacefully protesting against genocide underscores a worrying trend towards the suppression of dissent. Allowing people to voice their concerns publicly is integral to encouraging critical discourse in matters of public interest which is essential to a functioning democracy.

We urge the government to immediately drop the investigation towards the seven peaceful protesters and to provide full transparency on the enforcement of the PAA [Peaceful Assembly Act 2012].

MESTRE GUILHERME, AND THE BROKEN SHELL When Sharon was in Belem she met Mestre Guilherme, a master ceramicist. He showed her his work studio. Everything-the wheel, the tools and knives-he'd made himself, over years. "All I want to do is sit here and make things," he said. 1/

His clay is from the local river. His motifs are indigenous, or gifts from other makers. The one on this pot is called "Broken Shell". It was a gift from a visiting artist. Now he makes it. "You don't know how many times I have carved this pattern," he says. 2/

Sharon tells me about Guilherme, and his craft, and the hope his example brings us. We want the kind of life he leads: a practical life of making in one's own place, supported by one's own art, answering to and in conversation with one's own community. 3/

SHARON, AND THE MUIRAQUITA My partner Sharon is recently home from a trip to Belem, a city in Brazil at the mouth of the Amazon. She took canoe lessons in the river. She met a master ceramicist, who gave her a muiraquita in the shape of a frog. 1/

"You cannot buy these sacred pendants," he told her. "You can only be given one, as a gift." In exchange for teaching her a little of his craft, he asked Sharon to carve him a pattern motif on a muiraquita, a pattern he could use elsewhere in his work. 2/
