What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.
So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.

Fuck him.
Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.

#GenshinImpact#Nicole
Many of the stories Nicole envisions begin with a phrase as old as stories themselves: "Long, long ago..."
Perhaps, for some authors, "long ago" is less the threshold of a tale than a refuge from all further questioning. For once a story is consigned to unreachable distance, all the people and events bound up within it may as well have faded into obscurity, leaving no path by which the present might truly follow them back.
And yet, in Nicole's thoughts, those stories of "long ago" endure still.
Long ago, the lights of many nations filigreed the earth in gleaming gold. Long ago, the daughters of heaven wandered in carefree grace betwixt divine courts and mortal cities. Long ago, the sovereign of ages past, who had descended into deepest darkness, had not yet brought disaster back to his homeland. Long ago, the three radiant moons that hung aloft in the night heavens were still three...
The years brook no pause, the wheel spinning onward all the same. Within a cycle emptied of hope, the spark of paradise perished alongside the lives annihilated. Servitors once loyal to their ruler turned traitor for the sake of the lives that had been fashioned. The black dragonlord returned from beyond the stars. The moonlit chariot of the heavens shattered like crystal...
The story had not reached its end. Rather, it was those who had once read it, and those who had once listened to its telling, who had long since taken their leave. The angel who once longed to write laughter into the world lost all that had once made laughter possible. In the end, she even lost the voice with which she laughed, and could speak no more.
Thus, it seemed that the story Nicole kept within her would never properly find its beginning. She could only go on cradling her many "long agos," roaming the world and watching as all things passed, changed, and were remade by time.
That remained so until the day she met a tiny mage in an enormous hat, its extravagant brim tipped up with such pride it seemed almost ready to brush the sky. Compared with the hat she wears now, however, it was still a fair few sizes smaller.
The little witch tucked herself down at Nicole's side and listened intently as one story after another unfolded, not stirring until she had finished her drink and emptied her bag of biscuits.
"So you really are an angel? And all those stories were real, too?"
"Then yay, that works! I'm a mage, and you're an angel, so we match perfectly."
The merry little mage stretched out a hand to the angel who had come so far, all the way from those distant "long agos," and warmly invited her along.
"Want to join my Hexenzirkel? I only just came up with the name, but it has a real ring to it, don't you think?"
"It's going to be the funnest, awesomest, best club in all of Teyvat — I promise!"
"..."
No answer came from the angel. None could. But the little mage did not wait for one. She caught the angel's hand in both of her own and slipped the last piece of candy into her palm.
"There. Now our mages' pact is made."
Nicole had no thought of joining then, nor could she have guessed what this little gathering called the "Hexenzirkel" would one day grow into.
But at the very least...
It did sound like a place with happiness enough to spare.
Today is Land Day.
50 years ago today, six un-armed Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces and more than 100 were injured during protests against Israel’s confiscation of Palestinian land.
Palestinians observe today by holding protest marches and planting olive trees.
Selamat Hari Raya Idulfitri. Terima kasih kpd pemerintah & masyarakat Muslim serta pencinta keadilan di Asia Tenggara (Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei) yg mengecam agresi brutal Amerika Serikat dan rezim Zionis terhadap bangsa Muslim Iran di bln Ramadan serta menunjukkan solidaritas.
Jika mendukung Iran lalu dituduh SYIAH, saya lebih bangga ditudung SYIAH daripada mendukung Israel dn Amerika dan dituduh ZIONIS...
Labbaika ya Rasullah..

"Blacksmith, forge me some swords from your finest iron!"
Sparks fly from the anvil, like scattered starbursts burning across the night sky.
"A few more, my good smith, lest I run short of blades before the journey is through."
How many times must a blade of common iron be tempered before it is fit for a knight on the field of battle?
...
"This wine, let us bury it here, that we may drink it together upon our return!"
The fragrance of fruit lingers outside the winery, clinging to the vines and drifting up toward the heavens.
"Wine aged by victory could surely intoxicate even Barbatos."
How many winters and summers must a simple wine age before the return of an errant knight?
...
"And this is where we part. If I go any further, there'll be no one left to guard the gates of Mondstadt!"
The sound of the wind by the city's walls seems to sing blessings for the departing knights.
"...From here on out, we walk this road ourselves."
How far must a mortal journey to unlock a new chapter of destiny?

"In the name of the Anemo Archon, I bear witness to this pact forged between knight and witch, joined in purpose to protect Mondstadt. May this pact, once sealed, stand unshaken by the thousand winds."
—Attributed to: Barbatos, Knight of Boreas, Hexenzirkel
"In the name of the Anemo Archon, I bear witness... How did that last line go again? 'May this pact, once sealed, stand unshaken by the thousand winds.'"
"That's perfect! I'm writing it down."
"...There's no such line!"

Mata kita selalu tertuju ke industri besar macam konglomerasi sawit dan tambang tapi lupa kalau problemnya sudah sistemik ke warga yg menormalisasi buka kebun rakyat di hutan lindung.
Masih relate juga ke lifestyle kita yg turut berperan dalam deforestasi hutan.
CORRECTION: Zionists — known for using AI to lie — are making fake videos and pretending Palestinians are making them to justify their ongoing genocide
These people are absolute scum
fake feminist, performative activism, silent about palestine for years, hires i*f soldiers as bodyguards, hangs out with maga people, generally a rotten soul, low comprehension, cringe corny lyrics.. GOD
So the UK announces it’s going to recognize Palestinian statehood and immediately afterwards ISIS calls on Muslims in the UK to attack Christians and Jews in retaliation for “Israel’s war on Gaza.”
I’m sorry but only total idiots can’t see who and what ISIS actually is by now
The silhouette of a past dream is spreading... Could this adventure be...
