What you need to know about The Sentinel is that the very first episode is about Jim Ellison acquiring mystical powers. YES I want to be clear, the way he acquires these powers is "problematical" and "not great, respecting indigenous cultures wise" but okay, so he's got these powers that make all of his senses amped up to dangeous levels. he can hear things no one else can hear, he can see things like he's fucking legolas, you get the deal.

so he goes to the doctor to be like "i feel weird" because of course, and Blair Sandberg, twink anthropologist to the stars, BREAKS SEVERAL LAWS to get in Jim's exam room and say—i know how to help you. i know what's wrong with you. i know how to make life better. and jim ellison looked at the little twink man and said yes....YES to love YES to life YES to living in a 1 bedroom LOFT apartment together. YES to being soulmates and life partners! YES I'LL MARRY YOU!!!!!!

This is the ORIGINAL big gruff german sheppard/lil yapping chihuahua pairing. And fandom looked at this show and said "this is good. i will build a kingdom upon this land. from now on, these are the two genders: big, angry, powerful, forced to their knees by circumstances beyond their control AND small, jokester, has skills INVALUABLE to Big, bad self worth. And then so the sentinel/guide aus RULED the pervert community, and everyone rejoiced.

But also, fannishly, so inventive! Some of the first vids I ever saw back before there were computers –VHS vids, wonderful ones. (Shout out to GloRo!) Great great fanfic and art. I still have gorgeous zines from this period. And the loft tape! Go to fanlore and look up the loft tape you guys!!

The Esper/Guide trope that is now huge in Korea comes DIRECTLY from The Sentinel. Espers are taking Sentinel traits and mixing them with Solo Leveling powers and scaling and giving then to a Blair Sandburg Guide. Thats it.

And it's just so gay that you get shit like Zerowake Gates which is a gacha game that makes it's money on the MECHANIC of Blair-Sandburg Guiding and keeps the military structure of battles with monster hunting but make it explicitly gay.

I'm not kidding. That's where we've come from The Sentinel to today.

It's a great game. But like. The main ship is 2 people fighting over 1 super special guide like Jim and Alex in the finale.

I'm so fucking serious. Look at this shit. This is one of the biggest BL erogames out there.

Here are 3 mobility exercises that actually improved my day-to-day function

It's a bit particular to me, but I still tried to pick exercises that broadly cover:

-back mobility -front mobility -side mobility

Matt makes that little pleased, smug, slightly bashful face and says, "Is that a problem?" 

"You'll become too powerful," Foggy says, aimlessly. "Everyone would be seduced on sight. Who knows what the outcome would be?" 

"It doesn't sound horrible," Matt says, laughing. "All things considered."  

"For you, maybe," Foggy says, scoffing. 

Matt does stretches that Foggy refuses to look at except for the five or six times that he does and then collapses next to Foggy, panting. 

"I don't think everyone would be seduced," he says, smiling a little. 

"You haven't seen yourself, buddy," Foggy says, dryly.

After demonstrations were planned in 18 locations across the Strip, the streets were unusually empty after organisers had called on Hamas to "disarm and to transfer civil administration of Gaza to a transitional-governing authority".

Hamas gunmen were seen patrolling the Strip after several days of crackdowns leading up to the day dubbed June 26 Revolution.

Multiple arrests, beatings and death threats for those suspected of inciting or participating in protests appeared to quell the unrest.

One Palestinian in Gaza told The Telegraph: "People are afraid and exhausted. Torn between the desire for change and the risk of being accused of plotting a coup or collaborating with Israel, any popular protest movement appears to have little chance of succeeding."

Streets in areas such as Khan Younis Port, Al Qarara and Al Nasr, were eerily quiet on Friday. "People are scared," another Palestinian told The Telegraph.

In advance of the protests, a fatwa was issued by the Association of Palestinian Scholars, an influential Palestinian group, warning that demonstrators would be accused of collaboration with Israel, a crime punishable by death under Hamas rule.

Another source on the ground in Gaza told The Telegraph anonymously on Friday morning that there were Hamas supporters and troops positioned at key intersections.

The source added: "However, they are clearly avoiding any overt or formal deployment for fear of being targeted by Israel.

"What Hamas appears to be most concerned about is the possibility that armed groups could exploit the protests to expand their control over additional areas of Gaza, or that Israeli forces could use the demonstrations as an opportunity to target Hamas operatives.

"In any case, according to activists, this is precisely what they hope to avoid. Any intervention by Israeli forces or armed militias would provide Hamas with a pretext to crack down on peaceful protesters."

According to Gaza-born Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, a Palestinian humanitarian activist who lives in exile in the US, the Gaza hospital that became the focus of international condemnation after a deadly explosion early in the war is now being used by Hamas as a centre for interrogating, threatening and detaining opponents.

He claimed friends had been summoned to Al Ahli Arab Hospital, also known as the Baptist Hospital, where they were questioned by Hamas security officials about suspected involvement in the demonstrations.

"They were told explicitly by al-Qassam Brigades operatives, Hamas police, and internal security officers that if they post anything supportive of the protests on Facebook or offer any help to protesters, they will be executed under 'revolutionary conditions' and treated as collaborators with Israel; no trial, no process, just immediate death," he wrote on X this week.

He alleged that some were subsequently interrogated, threatened and placed under house arrest inside the hospital itself, "the same hospital that grabbed global headlines early in the war after a faulty Islamic Jihad rocket fell and caused an explosion which killed hundreds of people".

He said: "That hospital is now a central hub for Hamas's intelligence, militancy, and internal repression.”

On Friday morning, Mr Alkhatib also claimed Hamas had deployed security forces throughout Gaza to prevent any demonstrations.

"Right this moment, across the Gaza Strip, Hamas's police, intelligence units, and al-Qassam Brigade militias are fully deployed to crush the June 26 protests," he wrote.

Last year, protesters against Hamas took to the streets for several days in a row, with the Iran-backed terror group accused of beating a man to death and leaving him on his family's doorstep in a warning against any further protests against its rule in Gaza.

Uday Al Rabbay was kidnapped shortly after taking part in the protest. His body, covered in blood, was returned to his family's home days later.

Earlier this week, organisers appealed to governments, journalists and human rights organisations to monitor events closely, warning that participants had already become targets of intimidation.

"The right to peaceful assembly and political expression is a foundational civil liberty," they wrote. "The population of Gaza is entitled to exercise this right without fear of violent reprisal."

The movement accused Hamas of circulating threats through affiliated social media channels before the protests had even begun.

"These statements explicitly identify protesters and journalists as targets, indicating a coordinated effort to suppress dissent prior to its public expression," it said.

On Thursday, the Fatwa Committee of the Association of Palestinian Scholars, which operates across the Palestinian territories, sought to deter participation by issuing a religious ruling declaring the demonstrations forbidden.

The fatwa described the planned protests as "a criminal movement", accusing participants of assisting "the occupier" [Israel] and advancing objectives Israel had failed to achieve through military force.
