from @/wtp.resist on Instagram:

Tax Day is Monday, April 15th... just 4 days away ‼️ 💸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Follow this outline for an easy-to-understand guide on how to participate in war tax resistance this year. If you are unable to participate in war tax resistance but still wish to legally protest, please see slide #7. We want to encourage people to think big and act with courage, but we also understand not everyone can resist in the same way, so we wanted to provide several measures of resistance and resistance support in our Act I — War Tax Resistance — Tax Blackout 2024 Campaign.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our #TaxBlackout goal is 50 million people... with 16% of the U.S. population participating with at least 5% being redirected to vetted emergency relief in Gaza, Washington D.C. will receive a message loud and clear:  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We will not fund Genocide and Imperialism!

The Tax Blackout 2024 Guide

Tax Resistance

slide 2: Is It Illegal?

Taking any type of direct resistance or civil disobedience action for peace often means taking risks. War tax resistance is no exception.

Since World War I, only two war tax resisters (James Otsuka (1949) and J. Tony Serra (2005)) have been brought into Federal court, convicted, or jailed because of war tax resistance. Most resisters have been taken to court for failure to file, "falsifying" 1040 forms, contempt of court (by refusing to produce records), or (in the early 1970s) "fraudulently" claiming too many dependents on their W-4 form.

slide 3: Filing And Refusing - Step-By-Step

How to File as a War Tax Resister (typical process):

1. File your Form 1040 on or before April 15

Fill out the form per IRS filing instructions. To avoid being considered a "frivolous filer" (an IRS category) and being subject to frivolous filing penalties, do not make claims or write your thoughts on the form.

2. You can enclose a letter that explains your refusal to pay part (or all) of your taxes

Many war tax resisters send letters to explain their refusal to pay is an act of conscience, of civil disobedience. War tax resistance is about refusal to pay for war, not promoting tax evasion or challenging the constitutionality of taxation or war taxes.

slide 4: Filing And Refusing - Step-By-Step

3. Refusal Options:

Refuse a symbolic amount, a percentage (at least 5%), or refuse all of the federal income tax (see next slides).

4. Withholding Adjustments:

Salaried employees can increase the # of deductions on their W-4 form at any time to owe federal income taxes on April 15, and then can choose how much you want to refuse. Take the form home fill it out and return only the first page of the form, not the worksheet (page 3), to your employer. If you are self-employed and don't use a W-4 form, you must adjust the amount of estimated taxes you pay quarterly to resist when you file.

slide 5: Methods Of Resistance

1. File and Refuse to Pay

This involves filling out a 1040 form and refusing to pay either a token amount of your taxes (we are asking at least 5%) a percentage representing a "military" portion, or the total amount (since a portion of whatever is paid still goes to the military).

2. Refuse to File a Tax Return

NWTRCC recommends filing your taxes or the IRS will file on your behalf. They cannot garnish wages until the tax debt has been assessed, which can take some time. The statute of limitations begins at the point the tax is assessed.

slide 6: Methods Of Resistance Continued

3. Earn Less Than The Taxable Income

This can involve having such a low income that you are not required to file federal income tax returns (approximately $12,550 for a single person in 2021), or it can mean filing and taking deductions so that no income tax is owed.

4. Tariffs and Excise Taxes

Today, thousands of people continue to "Hang Up On War" by refusing to pay the small amount on their local telephone bill listed as "Federal Excise Tax" or "Federal Tax." This federal excise tax, like many others, pays into the general fund of the U.S. government - the same place your federal income taxes go. The monies in the general fund help to pay for the Pentagon, the militarization of our culture, and war.

slide 7: Ways To Legally Resist

Send a letter of protest with your 1040 tax form. Enclose it along with (but do not staple it to) your form. Send copies to your elected officials.

Write letters to editors protesting taxes for war, especially when people are thinking about taxes during tax filing season between January and April.

Write a message of protest on the check you send with your tax forms.

Pay the tax with hundreds of small-denomination checks or coins.

Lobby for Peace Tax Fund legislation that would allow conscientious objectors to pay taxes to a fund that would not be used for military spending.

On Friday 13th of October, three Palestine Action activists appeared in Mold Crown Court to issue their pleas, as they were charged with criminal damage relating to the closure of the Solvay Factory on Wrexham Industrial estate in November 2021. 

The three defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges and will appear in Mold Crown Court before a jury on April 15th, 2024, for a 2-week trial.

The three men, including voice.wales journalist Mark Redfern, have been charged with criminal damage after allegedly causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to the Solvay factory. 

They targeted the factory after it was revealed that the company supplies parts and adhesives that are used in Israeli drones that bombard and kill Palestinians living under the Israeli occupation. 

The defendants, if found guilty, could face up to 12 months in prison for their protest.

Speaking to voice.wales, Mark stated: ‘These companies are making money hand over fist in the killing business. They’re only alright with it because it’s not their families cornered in Gaza, scared out of their wits. The cruel sods profiting from the bloodshed in Palestine going on right now operate in our towns and cities right under our noses.”

[...]

Owain Parry, another of the accused facing trial in Mold Crown Court, said that the extreme violence of the Israeli military demonstrates the need for people everywhere to act, “The war crimes of the Israeli government during the last 10 days committed against the Palestinian people has demonstrated the necessity for action to be taken now more than ever.”

“We cannot sit back and allow companies in the UK to play an active role in genocide. It is our duty as human beings to fight against oppression and for a free Palestine.”

Palestine Action have carried out direct protests in other areas of Wales as well, such as a Teledyne factory in Presteigne, Powys. The activists are currently serving sentences from 23 to 27 months in prison after being found guilty of criminal damage and accused of causing over a million pounds worth of damage to the American-owned factory.

The third accused activist, Thomas Bell, believes that despite the sentences that face them, it pales in comparison to the hardships that the Palestinian people endure every day, “Even the worst outcome for me, spending some time behind bars, is a fraction of the suffering the Palestinians go through every single day.”

“In the end, history will look back at these atrocities for what they are. With a clear head, I’ll be able to say I did something about it, can others say the same?”

This is an incomplete list (apparently I love lists) of details scattered throughout the 1st season (still working on the 2nd, my head needs some rest) which seems to be either: hints to a deeper truth; red herrings; mistakes; meaningless details not to be taken seriously (except, in time traveling story, messing with dates and times would be silly, it shouldn’t happen, right? RIGHT??)

Unfortunately, at the moment I am unable to collect screenshot of the episodes as reference, but if you request them I can produce the timestamp.

Episode 1

Emma’s mother sends her a message at 02:47 of the 15th April 2021. The phone states “Wednesday”. Too bad April 15th 2021 was a Thursday. Why, Why Wednesday. Is that a mistake? Was it meant to say that they live in a different timeline? Is it a hint that shows that Time is already broken?

I had my timeline all done and to simplify it, I was sure that: - 14th at 22:00 – 16apr!CXS dives in Emma - 15th at 10:00 – 17apr!CXS dives back in the present - 16th, before evening – QL states the mission - 16th at 22:00 – CXS dive in 14apr!Emma - 17th at 10:00 – CXS dives back and LG pass the info on the fraud to the client. - 17th, Later that day, the fraud makes into the daily news - 17th evening – Emma goes home, finds spring rolls and blankets, calls her mother, meet Liu Min - 18th at dawn, Emma dies. - 18th evening, LG see the news about her death until I realized that the consensus is that the news about the fraud came out on the 15th already, which would make sense with her not seeing CXS message before coming back home and her parent arriving straight away. But then, How could the news about the fraud reach the public before Shiguang were involved? Another time traveler? A mistake? Which timeline makes more sense? I’m not sure anymore. Is it important? Most probably.

Emma's wristwatch consistently marks times inconsistent with the timeline, which I will just tag as “random watch pics, do not read too much into it” and move on, but I feel I still need to acknowledge them.

Episode 2

Now, I have nothing much to say about this episode, except that it seems to be completely separated from the main plot, every episode is strongly affecting the whole story, why this one does not? They could delete it without affecting the overall plot and it weirds me out, probably because I’m a little bit too paranoid at this point.

Episode 3-4-5

Three major problems with these episodes:

Obviously, the glasses issue: at first I indeed thought it was weird, but then we saw Liu Min walking easily while possessed, so I thought that, somehow, the possessor retains its physical characteristics while diving. But then, episode 12 kindly reminded us of this glasses detail. So what’s going on here? Are physical abilities passed down while diving or not? And in that case, what’s happening, someone put lenses on Chen Xiao? The glasses were not his? Is there someone else possessing him?

Why is Chen Xiao the only one actively asking to change the past? Any other case has always been just about retrieving information.

And why does LG accept? Because I’m definitely not buying that the only crucial node is the actual earthquake. After the dive, Chen Xiao should feel less guilty about that day, and therefore he has no reason to look for the “Fairy” in the first place. Isn’t there a time paradox through and through?

Episode 6-7

Why the date on the Security Camera is 20XX/XX/XX 14:48:12 instead of an actual date? What’s the secret here? Was it meant to hint that time is already broken (again) or was this an easy way to stalling because the authors had yet decided the days of the trip?

IF we agreed that, while diving, past and present time flows at the same speed, the two dives in these episodes overlap in present time:

first dive starts on October 13th at 14:30 in the present and presumably on 20XX/XX/XX at 14:30 in the past, the kidnapping seems to have occurred at 14:55, both in the past and in the past. We can presume that this dive ends way before the 12 hours limit was reached.

second dive begins right before the kidnapping, which again I presume happened on 20XX/XX/XX at about 14:55, then CXS awakes and LG states that the 12 hours period is almost done; the dive ends on October 14th at 02:55, which seems to suggest that the second dive started on October 13th at 14:55 BUT at that time CXS was still inside the first dive.

What’s happening here?? Am I wrong? Is time wrong? My goodness

Episode 8

This one drives me nuts for really no reason, I’m not even sure if I’m correct, BUT on the dial of Dong Yi’s wristwatch watch you can read what appears to be a 15 inside the box where, as far as I know, the day of the month is usually shown. IF this assumption is correct, Dong Yi’s watch marks that it is the 15th, while XSS’s phone marks that is October 21st.

Again, Why? Just why are they messing with our head?

Episode 9

Nothing new on this episode but, if only, this episode proofs that diving doesn’t need to start at the exact time the picture or video was taken, because CXS’s dive occurs somewhere between the 10:00 and the 14:45 of October 21st, while the dive’s time seems to be late evening (from more that 2 hours prior 22.34). Does this solve the issue with episodes 6 and 7? Not sure.

Episode 10

I’ll use this episode to address the elephant in the room: the 10:10 ghost clock!

The photo studio seems to have at least 2 clocks, one on the hall, with a red frame, plus another one in the darkroom.

However, a third ghost clock with a white or blueish frame switches place with the other 2 every now and then. The red clock seems to be working fine, the darkroom clock seems that either it stopped or it is 10 minutes off, the ghost clock always marks 10:10.

WHAT is this clock?! Is this a random clock picture just to fill the scene? Is it a hint that something happened at 10:10?

I, I… I’m lost.

Episode 11

I won't address Lu Guang's thought at the end of this episode but I'll leave them for my season 2 analyses, because they fit there better.

Therefore, nothing much is left to say about this episode, except that the darkroom wall with the clock keeps changing aspect (and even the clock disappears at some point).

But, just for the sake of my mind I will tag this as “do not read too much into this one” and, again, move on with my life.

And this was just season 1, I have no idea how mad it’s going to be during season 2.

Taylor/ Matty Timeline

My Personal little timeline I kept is below.

Obviously no harm or shade is meant to anyone in this timeline. I always thought they would be an epic love story, so it's something I made a little hobby out of watching. It has been a fascinating puzzle and given the fact they both love some easter eggs, it's been a fun puzzle.

If anything is incorrect, let me know. It been a work in progress for a long time, so some may be off a touch.

This ends around October of last year. When we could comfortably assume things were DONE DONE.

I may add additional items for items that happened during SATVB that may have been linked to Taylor.

I may also try to add a post on some song break downs and cross overs.

What sonic merch do you have? I kinda wish I could get a statue but there's less of those than you think. Megamans been a lot easier to get good merch for for some reason

It's really not much. So as previously mentioned, I have that Sonic candy dispenser...

The Caltoy Sonic and Tails plushes...

I used to have a full set of the Sonic 3 McDonalds toys, but who knows where half of those are anymore

And the two Sonic Underground plushes from Denny's.

This compromised basically 80% of Sonic's entire american merch catalog in the 90's, outside of some books, clothing and assorted odds and ends.

Since then, things haven't grown massively, but I have picked up a few items here and there. For the above images, none of those were my photos, but we're going to start getting into pictures I have personally taken of my newer stuff.

A friend gifted me the "basic" version of the Sonic nendoroid. The basic version comes with fewer accessories, so I don't have the checkpoint posts or item capsule, and I don't think I even got separate hands. I am not complaining.

I bought the Sonic amiibo for myself when it came out.

I got a special poster from the Sonic Mania reveal event courtesy of TSSZ having someone there as the event was happening. I framed it since it's such a nice, heavy duty poster.

I have the 11" Metal Sonic figure that I picked up at the thrift store I used to work at. He was like, maybe a dollar? Kind of a steal.

I grabbed one of those Pixel Pals lights back when it seemed like they were getting discontinued. They had a bunch on pretty deep discount (like $4 when normally they were like $15), so I grabbed Sonic.

I don't have a super good photo of this, but I was gifted the Orbot and Cubot figures I think for a Christmas or a birthday by the same friend that got me the Sonic nendo.

This is a mixed photo of a bunch of different figures I got at different times. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are from the 25th Anniversary collection by Tomy, and I bought them when we arrived in Nevada as we were moving out of Colorado. Eggman and Mecha Sonic are, once again, from the same friend that got me Orbot, Cubot, and the Nendo Sonic. I cannot express how much I love them, and I love that the Tomy figures are almost in the correct scale.

Now we're gonna get into things I REALLY don't have good photos of...

This horrifically blurry photo is probably from 2007? 2008? It's my Sonic 06 preorder statue, my Sonic Adventure 2 "10th Anniversary" pin, and my "Thanks for all your support!" pin from Sonic Team. I'm sure I have a clearer photo of these somewhere, but I can't find them. I could also, like, take new photos of some of this stuff, but where's the fun in that?

While digging through my imgur looking for photos, I found this photo of a Sonic 20th Anniversary plush. I couldn't remember where I got it, but given he's in a photo with some books I picked up at the thrift store I used to work at, I'm assuming he came from this same haul.

Getting increasingly difficult to find photos now... digging through twitter...

This is the... 15th? 20th? Anniversary Sonic 1 + 2 Album that famously features Masato Nakamura's demo tracks. I think this was Christmas 2011 or 2012. Not pictured, but I also have the soundtrack to the original Sonic Adventure.

This was Christmas 2021. Eggman and Metal Sonic are part of a KidRobot collection and came from my sister-in-law's parents. The Sonic coffee mug was the last Christmas present I ever got from my Mom, and unfortunately it was one of those super cheapo ones where the print washed off the first time it went through the dishwasher. I think this was the same Christmas those in-laws got me that short little Werehog action figure.

This is a Hallmark keepsake ornament that I think was intended for Christmas 2022, but didn't arrive until April 2023. They are beautiful. Also got Sega Genesis and SNES ornaments with them, which have little switches on them to play VERY loud music.

For Christmas 2023, my brother got me this limited edition flocked Knuckles Funko Pop. Some of the only Funko Pops I have are from my brother because it's kind of his thing, and I think this guy looks alright.

This hardly counts because it's definitely not official, but a friend pointed out one of those "daily pop culture t-shirt" sites was selling a shirt that was Sonic crossed with Mega Man. Literally the first fangame I ever worked on was something called "Sonic Infinity" that was Sonic + Mega Man X and it looked extremely similar, so I couldn't pass it up.

And then finally, most recently, a few months ago I was out running some errands and I saw some Sonic blind bag backpack charms, so I grabbed one and got this guy out of it. He's surprisingly big, solid, and well made! Paint is a little wobbly but I'm impressed regardless.

I think that's about it, though maybe I'm forgetting one or two things. There ended up being more than I expected.

TW // serious medical talk This is a really important update about what's going on. I'm copying/pasting the text from my Twitlonger post. Everything is under a read more.

Hey everyone. I've been inactive quite a bit due to family emergencies that have popped up.

I normally don't talk about these things publicly, but it's gotten so bad I've decided to give some sort of an update for my social media.

My father is currently in the hospital. On Tuesday (April 11th) he was found unconscious for up to two hours in the lumber department at a Home Depot store nearby where we live. He has a more severe case of type 2 diabetes and his blood sugar was found to be around 780 during this incident. He refused medical treatment but the Home Depot staff refused to let him drive home on his own as his condition could put himself and others at risk if he were to go behind the wheel.

He seemed a little out of it when I went to go see him the next day on Wednesday (April 12th). I assumed he was tired from the previous day's incident and that his medications might have been taking a while to kick in. I went to see him to pick up the car keys for our other van so I could pick up the van from the Home Depot parking lot. My father lives separate from us at the house that my mom owns. It's the same house she got in early 2021 that I've been trying to renovate from time to time. Me and my mother live in the condo unit we've had since early 2009.

On Saturday (April 15th) I was headed to my weekend delivery job. I was driving the family van since my regular car is currently in the shop as of writing this. I decided to stop by the house to drop off the other house keys and lockbox keys that my dad had attached to the van's key fob. When he answered the door I immediately knew something was wrong. He was showing signs of what looked like a typical stroke (left side of his body and face was mostly paralyzed, slurred and slowed speech, significant mental confusion). I called an ambulance for him after contacting my mother, my sister, and a close family friend about it.

He was taken to the emergency room and his fasting blood sugar was 465. The medical staff at the hospital tried bringing his blood sugar down and he got sleepy quickly. He's not in a coma, but he's been asleep since then and they haven't been able to get him to fully wake up. He also is unable to wake up on his own. I eventually found out that he hasn't been taking any pill medication for his diabetes and other ailments since November of 2022. He's supposed to take daily insulin injections for his blood sugar, but I found out that his most recent insulin injections he had expired in April of 2022.

I will give a more thorough update on his hospital stay and condition once he is out of the hospital, since things are still in progress with him. I've been going around updating my aunts and uncles on his side of the family (he has about seven or eight siblings; I don't know all of them since he's not great at keeping in touch with others). I've also been scrambling around to keep my mother, my sister, my friends, my partners, and close family friends about his condition as the hours and days go on. I'm his only kid and his next of kin so I've had to go back and forth on updating everyone. Once he's able to wake up on his own and is coherent, I'll have to discuss with him on becoming his power of attorney for healthcare in case anything serious happens in the future where he's unable to make medical decisions for himself.

On top of this, my mother also has her own laundry list of medical issues that require lots of various medications to keep her stable and alive. She also has type 2 diabetes but it's not as severe as my father's. Her other health conditions include interstitial lung disease (and lung scarring caused by this condition), severe sleep apnea, stage 3 pulmonary arterial hypertension, and edema (doctors suspect its caused by the heart struggling to keep up with her conditions). I'm mostly worried about her pulmonary arterial hypertension because there is no cure and it usually is the cause of death for those who are diagnosed with it.

Despite her conditions, she still goes to work since she's the financial stronghold of the household. Good friends of mine, along with my family and both my partners, all know about the debt that we have been dealing with. My mother has accumulated $120,000 USD of credit card debt and still owes about $180,000 USD for the mortgage on the house we got back in 2021. All together it's a total of $300,000 USD.

The things I can do to raise money is limited if it's through me, since I'm on SSI, and being on SSI means there are tight and usually unethical financial restrictions put on people like me. I get my healthcare through SSI via Medicaid. If I lose my SSI, I lose my healthcare. I have some health issues myself (mild GERD, possible PCOS, possible IBS, weight problems, some dental problems that I have to wait to get seen for, and mental health issues).

We are on the verge of bankruptcy and are possibly facing the loss of the little bit of stability that we have left. My mother isn't able to retire without risking financial ruin and she's dealing with an incurable disease that will most likely slowly kill her. I don't know if my father will bounce back from his current condition or not. I don't even know if his insurance will cover any of this.

I've been reluctant to open donations or fundraisers for this because I don't want to just take people's money left and right as I'd just feel bad about it.

I'm terrified. I'm exhausted. I don't know what to do.

#tw medical #serious post #im not even tagging this as the “fruity's rambles” tag bc it just seems. too non-serious of a tag for this. #also dw im physically ok #its my parents that are. not doing great

DEAN TV GIRLS T.N.G II: EPISODE 15: 53

Hi and this is the 15th episode of Dean Tv girls T.N.G 2. The episode is called 53 and the reason it is because today is the 53rd episode of the T.N.G series. It’s a year since the new generation series of the Tv girls first started. Since the 10th of January 2023 last year. Today’s date is the 8th of April 2024 too. Olivia,Melissa and Julia are celebrating the 53rd episode, seeing their best moments in the series so far. Like the final episode when they face against the Dean Tv boys at the Dean Tv video game challenge, presented by Dean. But the Tv is going a bit funny. “Hey what’s going here?” asked Olivia. “Yeah what is wrong with the Tv?” asked Melissa. “I wish I knew” said Julia. Then a face appeared on the Tv, the 3 reacted to the face on the Tv. “It’s the guru” said Olivia. “Yes it’s me” said the guru. “Why are you on the Tv?” said Olivia. “Just to see how you lot are getting on, after all it’s been a year since you lot replaced the OG Dean Tv girls” said the guru. The 3 girls agreed that it has been year. 1 year to be precise, Olivia joined the OG Tv girls since 2021 and later joined the T.N.G in 2022 in the season finale of the OG series. “That was 2 years ago” said Olivia. “Yes I know” said the guru. The guru takes the girls in his dimension. Entering the Dean centre, the girls meet the robot. Delta 8. “Wow this place looks big” said Olivia. “It’s sure is” said Melissa. The guru appeared inside the tube. “This is my house” he said. “I control everything here” said Delta 8. “I know you do” said Julia. “How do you know?” asked Delta. “Just guessing” said Julia. “She’s right you know” said the guru. The 3 girls look at the monitor screen of all the stuff what’s going on. The guru showed them a footage of the girls doing stuff. “Hey I don’t remember this” said Olivia. “This is just an image of all the things that you did not do in real life, this is just taken from your minds” said the guru. The Tv girls are going out to see Dean in the park, Dean is playing golf. “Golf?, Dean does not play golf” said Olivia. Melissa and Julia laughed at the video. Dean is playing against one of the presenters. The presenter did his shot but his golf ball went into the bunker. It’s Dean’s turn to take his shot. Dean’s ball went onto the green. “He’s good” said Olivia. “I know” said the guru. The presenter is having trouble playing golf. Then suddenly the ground started to shake. “Hey what’s happening?” asked Olivia. “The ground is shaking” said Melissa. Till they look at the sky seeing a face with spiky hair. Louise sees the guy, she knows who that is. “How do you know him?” asked Dean. “He’s in one of my dreams” said Louise. The face in the sky shoots hyper beam at one of the golf karts. The karts were blown up, everyone were so afraid of the face in the sky. Louise tells him to stop doing that. The man laughed as he summoned his foot soldiers. From the ground, Dean turned into Dean Tv man and the Dean Tv girls joined Dean to fight the foot soldiers. Louise joined by transforming into celestial Louise. Celestial Louise gives Dean and the girls magic staffs to get rid of the foot soldiers. The staffs worked, after the foot soldiers were gone. Celestial Louise went after the man in the sky. She uses her necklace by using hyper beam. The man shoots out hyper beam from his mouth. The two were pushing their beams to each. Louise’s energy level is going down. Her feet is turning stone, she noticed it. Louise used her duplicated clone. The man in the sky got shocked that she can do that. Dean and the Tv girls used their magic staff to help Louise to make the guy in the sky disappeared. Then the screen went into static. “Well that’s we have time for” said the guru. The guru send the girls back to their apartment. Meanwhile in the Dean Tv mansion, Dean is playing the Japanese version of Dean Tv super creatures stadium. The Japanese version works on the pal versions of the Dean Tv system consoles. Dean’s friend Matthew told him that.

It's a long process, indeed.

It’s a collective idea how everything started, how it was disrupted, how’s the resumption, what changed? what are the lesson learned, wasted time. How you realized you were on the right track and suddenly got lost.

The answer to that question is simple: MOTIVATION!

In decent term THE NORTH STAR

In my case, the MOTIVATOR

This is why I told my colleagues ‘not to depend into someone else’ coz when you do, you gotta face it’s blinding spot which is the downtime of your motivator. There downtime is your downtime. You gotta start again, or restart maybe?

But to tell you, there’s a magic in restart. You learned, you regretted but eventually you earned wisdom from it. What you gonna do is to properly navigate the “why” in everything.

Okay, to make everything clear, in my own point of view it started 21st of April, 2020. A month after the lockdown announcement in our country. After a month of figuring out about the shut down of everything, the Motivator was just like a falling star, shining from the skies and sparkled some light in dark and vast land. That’s the effect of my Motivator. I was doing right all those time after some month, the bright light faded. 15th of October, 2021 one of my strongest pillar fell in to her deepest slumber. Everything was blackout until the last day of 2021.

In year 2022, something blossomed. An add up to the heart and everything was overwhelming. I was motivated by unknown that time. Maybe by the feeling and compassion, everything when well but it seems all was in haste that time, fugaciously flowing indeed. I came to realized that year was my initial formation year, I was coined of who I needed to become. I was motivated to motivate, educated to educate, taken care of, to take care and inspired to inspire. God really gives us things to ponder, things to learn from. Just like reading a book, its like we are reading 15 pages of knowledge and 100 pages of advertisement because they can’t sell a 15 pages book.

In year 2023, something misleading came which if you are not wise enough to decode and filter it you’ll fall into a dark and dirty pit. But nothing comes easy, it was the fastest and exhausted year of my life. Upon seeing my output I even ask myself “how the hell I did all of those? who i was chasing?” Well my friend, life will give us a shiny and healthy green watermelons to believe that everything was made of glitz and glamour, that everything was made of gold and you need to grab it. But little did we know that when we peel the watermelon it will show us the reddish surface and by the time we squeeze it, only 1/4 of its insides are solid. This is only a metamorphosis of life that was shown to us. We might see its dashing yet blinding packaging but little that we know it’s substance was made of toxic materials. So when entering a den make sure to have your timeline and objective. Give them benefit while benefiting from it, there is no such thing as free in this free world.

Make sure before entering a den you have a complete and impeccable self awareness and by the time has come ask yourself “who am I becoming?” refurbish and re-assess yourself. Are you on the right water or are you flooded and submerged into toxins? Do you still have your heap of patience and virtues or are you becoming impatient and easily angst? Are you still feeling hopeful and motivated or hopeless and vindictive? Do you still see things with silver linings or do you only see things with thin line and become red?

If you feel the latters, pack your things, finish your pending tasks, it’s time to leave don’t ever look back for you are becoming the worst person you’ll ever become. When that seeds that you have planted was being watered with used and dirting water, you might wither and soon dead. Choose what shows you kindness and love than who shows you the bad side of the world to get your emphaty and to take advantage of your abilities.

Put your head down, what took all of your time will take the steering wheel of your life. Make sure that you are on the driver seat, it may be a long ride but you’ll navigate it eventually just choose to be kind and patient, trust in God and pray for everything and everyone.

Remember your North Star is praying for you, it will shine by time when you need the light, even you didn’t noticed that you under the darkest skies.

How did I know?

I just regained the energy had God let my North Star light the skies I am into. By that, I realized that I am trapped in the darkest valley of my life and I need to get away from here with my North Star’s light shining throughout my way all the way from the glamourous city of Dubai.

This is my story of struggle: 2017-2022

On 30th March 2017, after four years of trying to correct my profile, my mum (and dad) were hiding me from the Hertfordshire social services as they try to illegally placing me into care for a 12-week assessment. As a result, i abandon my home town of Welwyn Garden City. My parents and i were in various locations from London to Clacton-on-Sea and Great Yarmouth.

But the authorities found me at the Embassy Hotel and they taken me away from them unlawfully on 13th April 2017 and i end up at the police station for several hours before the overnight social services placed me at Cambian Fairview Hospital in Colchester at 12:00am the same evening.

The next day (14th April), i started to realised a different reality because i was so angry over the close contact to my parents and i find it real struggle to get my life back to normal.

In May that year, the social services accepted my residency at Morven House in Potters Bar, which i arrived there on 15th June 2017 after 9 weeks in Colchester. However, i probably made that decision wrong as i was supposedly saying about getting myself back home but refused to accept my expectation.

Talking of which, when i was at Morven House, they continue to refuse my offer in getting me back home because Judge Waller made an order on where i live? Waller was a former judge, who is responsible for the order to remove myself from the family, at the Watford Family & Country Court until he was devoted to London in 2018 before he was finally been removed last year as my mum told me about it earlier this year.

Meanwhile, in London, my parents have got more than 100 evidence being delivered to the Royal Court of Justice to try and get me back home but it become a hard process to do so and therefore i don't know what's going on with the justice system? Even the Government and my local MP, Grant Shapps, doesn't even care at all about our help and instead focusing on Brexit and other issues.

Back to the story of mine, i was facing the worse by Caretech's staff members and the Hertfordshire/Metropolitan Police, who (over the next five years) made false and unfounded allegations of racism and damages to Morven House's properties when i was angry over seeing my mum and dad. However, the police have also trying to illegally threatened me into prison sentence which i was very angry over what the officers have said to me. These officers infringing my human rights and therefore i ended my relationship with the police since last Spring (although beginning to move away from the police since April 2021).

In April last year, on the Easter Saturday, Elo - one of the staff members in Caretech - have racially abusing me by hitting me in a door and trying to hit me against the wall (which i avoid it) after throwing a bolognese sauce at him when i was angry at him when he accusing me of putting the plastic container into a microwave - which was my right to to that. That incident took place a Flat C Garden View where i lived for five years. As far as i have to declare that black people are NOT ever British anymore (aside from non-black foreigners) because of anti-white racism that i experience behind closed doors at Morven House in Potters Bar and that's why i'm setting out a peaceful transition plan (up to 2051) to respectfully return - if only voluntary - those to Africa & the Caribbean as soon as possible without infringing upon the rights or dignity of individuals.

And on 17th June 2022, after years of false profiles and unfounded allegations about me by Caretech; Social Services; and (of course) the cocksucking police, i went back to Welwyn Garden City with my parents following my reunion with them in March the same year.

Now, nearly two years after my reunion with my parents, we have to work out to get justice served while i'm about to publish my proposal to pull southern England out of Britain and England next March when i'm about to publicly launch my campaign movement calling for people across the sub-region to make it a reality but i hope you going to join me.

I'll update you very soon.

Profiles of Pride: June 15th! 🏳️‍🌈Zooey Zephyr🏳️‍🌈

Zooey Zephyr (born August 29, 1988) is an American politician and university administrator who represents Missoula in the 100th district in the Montana House of Representatives. A member of the Democratic Party, she was elected in the 2022 election, making her the first openly transgender person to be elected to the state legislature in Montana. She was sworn in as a representative on January 2, 2023.

Zephyr became involved in activism in 2020. She testified before the Montana legislature in defense of LGBT+ rights and met with Republican Governor Greg Gianforte, but felt her words were not heard. Having watched bills limiting the rights of transgender people pass with one-vote margins, such as legislation making it difficult for transgender people to update birth certificates, she felt she needed to "get into the room where the laws are being written". On March 1, 2021, Zephyr decided to run for state representative in the 2022 mid-term elections.

House District 100 (Missoula) has been described as "one of the bluest" (i.e., most Democratic) districts in Montana. The seat was previously held by Andrea Olsen, who left the seat to run for state senator. Zephyr defeated Dave Severson in the Democratic primary on June 7, 2022. Upon defeating Republican opponent Sean Patrick McCoy that November, Zephyr became the first trans woman to be elected to the Montana legislature alongside SJ Howell, the first non-binary person to be elected. Zephyr assumed office in January 2023. On April 28, 2023, Zephyr announced she would seek re-election in 2024.

Zephyr was a vocal opponent of the multiple anti-LGBT+ bills introduced during the 2023 legislative session. During a floor debate on April 18, 2023, Zephyr admonished those who supported Senate Bill 99, which prohibits gender-affirming medical and surgical care for transgender minors. She first commented, "If you are forcing a trans child to go through puberty when they are trans, that is tantamount to torture, and this body should be ashamed." When this remark triggered an objection from Republican majority leader Sue Vinton, Zephyr replied, "The only thing I will say is if you vote 'yes' on this bill and 'yes' on these amendments, I hope the next time there's an invocation when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands." This prompted backlash from House Republicans. The Montana Freedom Caucus issued a statement misgendering Zephyr and calling for her censure. Zephyr stood by her words, and House Minority Leader Kim Abbott defended her, describing the statement as "blatantly disrespectful and the farthest thing imaginable from the 'commitment to civil discourse' that these letter writers demand". Thereafter, Speaker Matt Regier refused to let Zephyr speak on any bills despite no censure having taken place.

On April 24, about 100 people gathered at a rally in support of Zephyr, prompting heavy police presence. That afternoon, Zephyr was again denied speaking privileges, prompting every present Democratic lawmaker to stand in protest. All but two Republican members of the chamber's supermajority voted to uphold Regier's ruling. Protesters in the House Gallery then began chanting, "let her speak," resulting in a half-hour delay in proceedings as riot police were brought in to clear the gallery. Most Democratic legislators remained in the House chambers, mostly in the wings, but Republican lawmakers evacuated the room. Zephyr remained at her desk on the floor, silently holding aloft a microphone. Seven people were arrested, and after booking were released without needing to post bail. Afterwards, members of the conservative Montana Freedom Caucus, in a written letter that also misgendered Zephyr, accused her of "standing in the middle of the floor encouraging an insurrection."

On April 26, a hearing was held to vote on a proposal to sanction Zephyr's actions during the protest on April 24. After a speech by Zephyr and a brief debate limited to three speakers on each side, the House voted 68–32 along party lines to bar Zephyr from the House floor, gallery, and antechamber until the adjournment of the 2023 session the first week of May. She was permitted to vote remotely for the remainder of the session.

On April 27, Zephyr set up her laptop and assorted paperwork on a bench outside the House Chambers in a hall open to the public. Behind the bench, she placed a sticky note saying "Desk 31"—her designated seat on the house floor. When Regier asked her to leave, House Democrats pointed out that she was in a public area. He responded that he was afraid she was blocking the hallway, but claiming to be reassured that she was not blocking traffic, agreed that she could remain. Additionally, following her expulsion, Republican leadership cancelled all remaining hearings of the committees on which she served. To handle the bills still pending, they used their supermajority to "blast" several bills directly to the floor, and reassigned other bills to different committees. On May 1, the bench from which she had been working was occupied by a group of women, including Regier's mother, and the wife of senator Steve Hinebauch, in order to prevent Zephyr from sitting. A photo of the women apparently laughing and leering drew comparisons to civil rights era photos of white student Hazel Massery shouting at African-American student Elizabeth Eckford during the Little Rock Crisis. On subsequent days, a group of Zephyr’s supporters, primarily a group of tech workers able to work remotely dubbed “The Blue Bench Brigade,” came in and occupied the bench to save Zephyr’s spot. Immediately upon adjournment sine die on May 2, Zephyr walked onto the House floor to meet her colleagues.

On May 5, it was noted that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) intended to defend the protesters who were arrested at the Capitol on April 24.

made this decision and the various reactions to all of it will likely continue to come out. is willing to just ignore those numbers is a baffling decision. Still, the numbers don't lie for Scoob! and the fact that a company like Warner Bros.

So why cancel the film? Why not let it stream to HBO Max, where they know they have an audience that has already said they are willing to watch a Scoob! movie on streaming? One could argue about whether or not DC movies actually have an audience considering how up and down they have been in financial performance and quality. They have charts and numbers to point to that there is an audience for the film that exists, it is right there, and it is an audience willing and able to watch the movie at home if they want to. However, this movie has proof that they have a PVOD audience and a streaming audience. Something that Scoob! has that Batgirl doesn't are hard numbers to point out that even if they cannot prove they have a theatrical audience, it's hard to argue how the movie would have done without the pandemic and what the $27.1 million at the box office actually means in terms of success. (L-R) Daphne voiced by AMANDA SEYFRIED, Velma voiced by GINA RODRIGUEZ, Shaggy voiced by WILL FORTE, Fred voiced by ZAC EFRON and Scooby-Doo voiced by FRANK WELKER in the new animated adventure "SCOOB!" from Warner Bros. While not a critical smash, it did well enough that a sequel was confirmed in June of 2021. The fact that it was the third best PVOD offering of the pandemic with a short PVOD window, May 15th to June 25th, is quite impressive. A price dip in the fifth week from $19.99 to $15.99 revived things a little, and in October of 2020, The Hollywood Reporter said Scoob! was the third most popular PVOD title of the pandemic behind Mulan and Trolls World Tour. By weekend four, it was number one on FandangoNow, second on Amazon Prime, and fourth on iTunes. It stayed at number one for the second weekend of release on all of the services and stayed at number one on three of the four services. It didn't do as well as Trolls World Tour, but it was the top-rented film on Amazon Prime, Google Play, FandangoNow, Spectrum, and iTunes during its opening weekend. took a similar risk and released Scoob! as a PVOD film. It did well for Universal, and a month later, on May 15th, Warner Bros. Before that, a few studios had released movies early to streaming or VOD like Disney or Warner Bros., but no one had taken a theatrical release and made it a PVOD offering, entirely skipping the theater. In April 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Universal took the plunge and released Trolls World Tour as a PVOD release when it was supposed to be a theatrical release. The thing that makes the Scoob! Holiday Haunt cancelation even more fascinating than the Batgirl cancelation is the circumstances under which Scoob! itself was released.
