yes, I am!

for anyone unaware--I have a fund set up, and I buy esims and top them up out of that fund. I get eSims to people in Gaza (and refugees in Egypt) in three ways--via Connecting Humanity ([email protected]), via Gaza Online, and directly, through my contact in Gaza.

you can donate to my eSim fund through venmo (@gothhabiba), cashapp ($NajiaK), or paypal (paypal.me/Najia). use tagline "esims" or something similar, because otherwise I assume all donations are for Mohammad Abu Hamam's fundraiser.

you can also donate to eSim funds run by Crips for eSims for Gaza or Gaza Online.

UPCOMING PROTESTS

Then when Peter comes back and doesn’t see him he assumes the worst and Gamora is all “Yeah he almost did it”.

Peter named his son after Rocket, but from the moment he returns from Morinus until the end of the story, he communicates with Rocket as distantly as he does with the rest of the Guardians (except Rich).

Even in the return scene, Peter barely pays attention to Rocket. In the first minutes, he either addresses them both at once or looks, touches and speaks only to Rich.

Since returning, Peter and Rocket don’t have a single “best bro” moment, and all the dialogue is only about missions, nothing personal or friendly like jokes.

And I came up with a not at all ideal, but funny theory. As you know, Peter already had a situation where the name he gave was misunderstood.

So maybe something similar happened now? Maybe he named his son in honor of the one whom he kept the memory of for about a hundred and fifty years, the one whom he mourned, whom he was really glad to see after his return? In honor of Human Rocket, not Rocket Raccoon? Or in honor of both?

In the story of Peter and Richard, there was a conversation about children before. And also that Richard wants to be remembered. But be remembered “for anything else.” What can be remembered about Nova if not his exploits? Human Rocket, for example.

And Al Ewing, as if on purpose, takes this nickname out of the attic of comic book history and returns it to the pages. The first time was immediately after Peter returned from Morinus, and the second time almost immediately after their conversation about Peter’s son. I'll take it as a sign.
