The Trudeau government authorized at least $28.5 million of new permits for military exports to Israel during the first two months of the state’s brutal war on Gaza, data supplied to The Maple by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) shows. The total value of the new permits authorized over a two-month period exceeds the 30-year annual record high of $26 million in Canadian military exports to Israel in 2021. The information provided by GAC does not indicate the time period for which the newly authorized permits are valid for, meaning not all the goods may have been exported in 2023. Kelsey Gallagher, a researcher with the arms-monitoring group Project Ploughshares, told The Maple: “It’s not only troubling that Canadian officials have continued to authorize arms transfers since the onset of Israel’s operation, but also that the value of those transfers is in the tens of millions.” “These combined values exceed that of total Canadian arms exports to Israel for any year on record.”

To no one's surprise, I have more thoughts on Ashton's feelings about faith and begging for divine intervention and never receiving it, because... well, look at what's in their head.

I tend to take the view that the Luxon as a divine entity does not necessarily have conscious intent in granting divine favor; it is closer to a foundational force of reality, with the rather nebulous thought that might accompany a living entity associated with that kind of force. So not inert matter, but not exhibiting the will and motivated action that the Pantheon or even the Primordials do. The Primordials are closer, in that they are active, but I think they are less willful. This isn't particularly relevant to this discussion except as evidential comparison, though, so I digress.

What this view of the Luxon results in, in practice, is the bestowing of power by seemingly random chance. The beacons are where they are, and any movement of their worship or use is in the hands of mortals who convey that—whether that's the expansion of dunamantic arcana in Aeor and possibly the larger world in the Age of Arcanum, or the missionary efforts of the Kryn Dynasty, or simply one person passing it to someone with ill intent who exploits another worker to expand its use and turn it into a weapon instead.

And what happens is that these smaller exchanges create ripple effects, and the path of this force being conveyed continues, which is how it has come to Ashton—by a series of circumstances that, when looked at individually, look like mundane random chance, but taken as a whole, are so unlikely that they seem meaningful in the end.

I think this gets to the heart of what the Luxon seems to rule—the world may be governed by chance and circumstances, but when those circumstances are accumulated—into an event, or a nation, or a life—they create not destiny but meaning.

Ashton's circumstances are a series of misfortunes that feel almost fated in how perpetual they are—when he spells out the course of his life, and says that he can count on his fingers how many genuinely good days he's experienced, the weight of that misery feels like an oppressive fate.

But within the amalgamation of that misery, they've also happened upon—one might say were bestowed with—power. This is the power that lets him decide to be a hero and decide to save his friends. And, by some accounts in Exandria, it would've been granted to them by a god, without even asking anything in return. It's not verbal, so it's not a concession or meant to be placating, which wouldn't do much in the long run—it's the means by which Ashton has been able to wield control over his own destiny.

So if there's any meaning to circumstance, maybe it means that when Ashton prayed, something already answered.

i'm rereading the garden scene and i'd completely forgotten about this moment of gawyn just totally losing his marbles over rand i'm HOWLING the case for (onesided & unknown-to-rand) randwyn gets stronger every day

#gawyn 🤝 dain: having obsessive knowledge of two rivers exports for homoerotic reasons #'elayne should have a two rivers husband' sweetheart i think YOU want a two rivers husband #i'm citing this 'elayne should marry someone from the two rivers' bit as evidence to claim He Would Not Fucking Say That damages #against sanderson's whole TOM spiel about how gawyn is jealous that a Lowly Peasant is ruling the world in his stead #anyway gawyn is such a sweetheart in this whole scene i'm in physical pain!!!! i'd forgotten all about it!!! #he's so gentle with rand and teasing with elayne and is also ride-or-die for both of them #he joins elayne in throwing himself between rand and the armed guards! #and he's like 'galad's a good person but goddamn is he annoying' right along with elayne djfkgjh #and now i extra resent AMOL randomly deciding to prioritize the gawyn-galad relationship when it was always gawyn-elayne that mattered most #anyway i'm dying. i didn't really start paying attention to gawyn until LOC so there are some hidden gems in the early books! #gawyn trakand #gawynposting #rand al'thor #randwyn #wot #wot book spoilers

cobbled-together mammon + ik specialist dance! remember that post i made the other day? it turns out i do not have self-restraint so i did it (youtube link in case tumblr player breaks)

i had to enlist some help from jo (who is much more tech-savvy than me, but equally illiterate when it comes to this new-fangled 3d tech), but we managed to frankenstein this all together in the end!

(i fucked up while editing it so the end of mammon's arm just disappears at some points. pretend you didn't see that, for my sake)

song - specialist motion source models by me, trying my best with the default assets in vroid studio (hence why mammon does not look quite right.. ^^;)

#obey me #animation #art #idk which of those counts.. i mean i didn't animate it personally but it's still an animation #jtta ik #obey me mammon #please try to ignore mammon's shirt clipping. i don't know why it's doing that and i don't know how to stop it #i don't have a windows computer so i couldn't use mmd #so then i was going to use nanoem but vroid exports the models in vrm form #and nanoem needs them in pmx/pmd (same as mmd) but the only conversion software i could find only worked for windows #so i ended up using this app called vrdancer which played the animations on the models #it worked well to play the animations but i had to screen-record them individually and then edit them together #and the available backgrounds were all gradients so they didn't cut out well and i had to do some masking #hence why mammon's arm just disappears when he points at the end #anyway this was an ordeal but i had to get it out of my system

The US Dog & Pony Show to give Israelis always more time to kill:

Israel had until March 24 to submit its written assurances, and the State Department will now assess by early May whether its claims are credible and report its findings to Congress.

The Israelis declaring they're not using US weapons to commit genocide... Never will the US have hidden its head in the sand to avoid doing its duty. Beyond lame delay tactics.

Civil society organizations that are taking the Dutch state to court over its position in the Gaza war receive broad support for this. Oxfam Novib, PAX and The Rights Forum are demanding in summary proceedings the immediate cessation of the supply of parts for Israeli F35 fighter planes. Amnesty International contributed to the preparation of the lawsuit and several other NGOs have now expressed their support. In addition, more than 1,000 individual Dutch people showed their support by contributing to a crowdfunding campaign. The case will be presented to the court in The Hague on Monday, December 4 at 10 a.m. and can be followed via a livestream.

#OTD in 1982 – Five men charged with conspiring to smuggle arms to the IRA in 1981 were acquitted in Federal Court in Brooklyn, NY.

Five men charged with conspiring to export arms to the Irish Republican Army were acquitted in Federal Court in Brooklyn, NY, apparently because a jury believed defence contentions that the Central Intelligence Agency had sanctioned their gun-running operation. No evidence directly linking the CIA to the operation was offered at the seven-week trial, and denials of involvement by the agency were…
