Steambaby Week Day 6: Dragons

Really wanted to participate in @steambabyweek this year, but I'm in the middle of a huge volunteer project that is taking, without exaggeration, every moment of my free time. Then I remembered that I colored a panel from a Fire Noodle comic a while back (and don't think I've shared it?), and since Day 6 was dragons...

I've got some ~art~ ideas so once the volunteer project is over, I hoping to jump back into my usual Fire Noodle/ Zutara/ steambaby nonsense.

Katara: I think our little princess might be a firebender.

Zuko: Oh, why?

Katara: She has your eyes.

Zuko: That doesn’t necessarily mean Kya’s a firebender-

Katara: And she sneezed sparks this afternoon and lit the drapes on fire.

in light of israel's looming invasion on rafah, south africa implored the icj to call for the protection of palestinians with new preliminary orders. the icj denied this request, insisting that its january orders would be sufficient enough in ensuring the safety of people residing in rafah.

we have all seen how israel responded to the icj verdict earlier this month. they have all but intensified their attacks on palestinians, their favorite of whom seem to be children. this will end in a bloodbath. palestinians, already malnourished and living in literal tents, will be bombarded, they will be shot, they will be slaughtered. and when i say palestinians, a lot of them are actual toddlers. the videos coming out of this are proof enough.

at this point, it has been made amply clear that palestinians will never experience safety in their own homeland. a lot of the families in gaza are trying to raise funds to get out of it, because there's nowhere left to go.

there is nowhere left to go. if these people don't get the funds necessary to escape, they will die.

it's vital that you go to operation olive branch's spreadsheet, choose a family that resonates with you, and donate as much as you can to their gofundme. every last dollar counts. one dollar could be the difference between life and death for a family. please don't fall victim to the bystander effect. your contribution counts, however little it may be. and whether you're able to donate or not, spread this to as many people as you can. each second we stay silent is a second an entire family is brutally massacred.

A resident physician at the University of Ottawa's faculty of medicine who was suspended over pro-Palestinian social media posts says he's been reinstated but has no plans to return to the institution. Dr. Yipeng Ge, 29, was sanctioned by the university last November after it got several complaints about a series of pro-Palestinian posts he'd made, ones that included references to "apartheid" and "settler colonialism." At the time of his suspension, Ge had been a fourth-year public health and preventive medicine resident and was completing a residency at the Public Health Agency of Canada. His research has focused on Indigenous health, anti-racism and decolonization.

Another ICJ hearing is starting now in regards to Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. This is the result of a UNGA resolution from 2022 for the ICJ to give a nonbinding opinion on the legal consequences of Israel's occupation from 1967 to present day.

This is not related to South Africa's case

Grand Duchesses Tatiana, Olga, Maria and Anastasia with their brother Tsarevich Alexei seen in the Italian courtyard of the Livadia Palace holding flower decorations and wearing little boxes to collect donations ahead of the White Flower Day celebrations.

The Empress would also hold a Grand Bazar in favor of patients with tuberculosis.

BREAKING NEWS: The International Court of Justice finds that there is sufficient basis for South Africa’s case against Israel and will not dismiss the case as Israel requested.

This is truly an historic moment.

Very well done, South Africa 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

silly background thing i noticed. when all the officers go outside to beat up the RAF pilots harry collects everyone's hats and just holds them all the entire time

Very pleased with the effort by the South African team. I'm too scared to hope that anything effectual will come of this, but it's important that there was a cohesive, honest, and powerful argument and timeline with extensive documentation put forth to the world, even if the world rejects it. The last couple of months were a whole lot of passive voice and insultingly vague headlines that it's truly a comfort to see a straightforward accusation.
