This weekend about 2 billion people will celebrate Christmas across the world, and the birth of their religion in Palestine. Today the only remaining 700 Christians, the descendants of the first followers of Christ, are being wiped out in Gaza and their churches bombed to pieces. [@/ Hanine09 on X. 12/23/23.]

This Christmas I am thinking of Palestine and her children and their bravery and their resilience- much like the bravery of the Palestinian who's supposed 2023th birthday we celebrate these days. May they and all oppressed peoples see peace and new beginnings in the coming new year.

Alfred interested in powerful partners is a reality but does it lead to something or he's just fantasising about something romantic or secual? I mean, he'd be pretty traumatised by his parental figures, no?

If Alfred is mentaly exhausted to a point of nearing a mental breakdown he will seek out something more.

Wild take but hear me out.

I always give Ivan as an example, since I find the dynamic very interesting.

Alfred is never romantic, he just isnt. Ivan isn't either. That is not a thing that exists between them. So if a calm Alfred knocks at Ivans door, making a romantic gesture of ANY kind, it's not good. Ivan knows this very well. If a lovely, amorous evenig between them is shared, it usually means Alfred is at deaths door, so to speak. When this happens, Alfred is quiet and absent minded. He will not be disagreeable, obnoxious, insulting... Most of all he will not fight, physically or verbaly. And like I said, Ivan understands this Alfred better than others. He also will not engage in any mockery or verbal discourse with Alfred.

The calm sea of a romantic eavning between them is usually either followed by or a result of a raging storm (mostly Alfreds raging storm). This is his way of saying "I need help and I need to cope." It usually isn't related to Ivan, what Alfred has to run from or cope from. So Ivan lets him be.

Other than this exchange their meetings are usually strictly buisness or physically related, never crossing the line into anything more than that.

we made it after 24+ hours on the road [distant sobbing noises]! I've met family members for the first time, had the best seafood of my life, and had some mexican starbucks (minus the lack of ethics)! if you want to try mexican food, if you like shrimp, and you like spicy stuff, please try aguachile.

the way i see it, alfred is both the black sheep of his family and the crown prince in arthur's eyes. the disgraceful wretched lad and the golden boy. the son who scorned lord father's ""generosity"" and who remade himself the most in his image (empire, naval power and hegemon, in both the atlantic and the pacific). arthur has no problem seeing it that way. his greatest disappointment and his greatest hope. the one who will help bring down the curtain on the formal british empire, but the one who will also help british imperial power and relevance endure in the postwar afterlife. alfred once said there was noone he hated more than his father, alfred vows he will be nothing like the corrupt old world that arthur springs from, that he is a genuine idealist who sees a better world to be made ahead but—what is pax americana, but the progeny of the british empire? even when clad in noble-sounding goals and american charisma, what is that but the same ruthless ambition that arthur sees, in the sea-blue of alfred's eyes? arthur knows it, everyone else knows it. alfred has his father's hands. he is his father's son.

The fact that there was an international outcry over the burning of Notre Dame , but not a single word uttered for the desecration and destruction of worship places, archives and libraries of Gaza and rest of Palestine ,many of which are FAR older than Notre Dame and other buildings in Europe should tell you enough about which countries are deemed worthy of respect and preservation in the West .

if i must die - refaat alareer

a scenario that I CANNOT get outta my head:

alfred and ivan are taking a road trip to his dacha in Moscow and during the ride he asks him if he wants to play his own music. alfred is legit offended ivan thinks he doesn't listen to russian music.

he goes "oh I'll play you my favorite Russian song right now!" and he plays American Boy by Kombinaciya. AND HE SINGS IT PERFECTLY. ivan is absolutely flabbergasted -- and to make it worse, alfred rolls the window down and YELLS THE SONG. then at a traffic stop, the people riding next to them begin singing along and alfred is having the TIME OF HIS LIFE while ivan wants to DIE.

I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (? Anishinaabe)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Boise Forte Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

you worded it better than I ever could! the way Russian citizens took him in with open arms, the way they welcomed him, the way they gifted him all those beautiful roses during his performance, how they laughed with him-- it's all so heart wrenching and beautiful. Knowing Khrushchev was in attendance too is astounding to me. Just thinking of Alfred and Ivan being in the presence of that loving glimpse of their shared humanity is... so painfully lovely.

Also, if you've posted the fanfic, please let me know because I'd love to read it!

do y'all ever think of what alfred and ivan's reactions were to van cliburn's piano concerto in russia in 1958? I like to think that it was very similar to that harrowing scene in "portrait of a lady on fire" where one is watching them fall apart listening to the music. just like marianne and heloise, the music became a solace to what they left behind

I feel the cordial moments between Russia and America are soooo underrated. Such as the Poltava aka Operation Frantic (the joint US-Soviet base operations in Eastern Europe in WW2), Van Cliburn (the American pianist who won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow), Apollo-Soyuz Space Mission (do you know US & USSR even co-produced commemorative cigarettes), and if we go back in history, there was 1863 when Russia sent fleets to America to show support for the Union (“God bless the Empire that loves the great Union; Strength to her people! Long life to the Czar!”) and when Nicholas I invited American engineers to help build the first railway between St. Petersburg and Moscow, and so on. They share far more history than that meets the eye.

an extra moment!
