The Beautiful Six 💔💔💔💔💔💔

Tonight marks the second Hebrew yahrzeit of the murder of the “Beautiful Six”: Eden Yerushalmi, Carmel Gat, Ori Danino, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alex Lubanov and Almog Sarusi.

They were brutally murdered by Hamas in a tunnel in Rafah.

As we light our Shabbat candles tonight, we do so with Eden, Carmel, Ori, Hersh, Alex and Almog in our hearts.

We will never, ever forget them.

Tonight begins the second yahrzeit (anniversary of the death according to the Hebrew calendar) of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Ori Danino, Carmel Gat, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Eden Yerushalmi, z"l - six hostages who were brutally murdered by Hamas in August 2024, after 328 days in captivity. They were kidnapped on October 7, 2023 - five from the Nova music festival, one from Kibbutz Be'eri - and held in tunnels beneath Gaza until Hamas took their lives just days before IDF forces reached them.

We remember them, mourn them, and hold their families in our prayers. May their memories forever be a blessing. 🕯️

May their memories be for a blessing. And a revolution...for goodness.

“This book is about my penis. This is my story of going through lower surgery, specifically phalloplasty, and the adventures I have with my changing genitals along the way. Welcome to my journey.”

After coming out as trans, Finlay Games was adamant lower surgery would not be a part of his transition, but as the years went by, and his gender dysphoria increased, he decided to explore surgical options. Detailing the emotional and physical journey of phalloplasty, this book takes the reader through Finlay’s experiences, from the initial decision-making through each stage of the surgery to its completion, recovery and after-care. Describing how he had to relearn his body, sexuality and his relationships, Finlay shares his wealth of advice and tips on donor site options, different types of surgery, the referral process, essential items and resources, and looking after your mental health.

I’ve been on this for at least a month… I got frustrated because I couldn’t make Caitlyn look like herself in that pose… I gave up at one point. Honestly, I don’t even know anymore since I’ve stared at it for so long, so here it is… another Caitlyn devotion piece based on a passage from my fic ☺️

Here’s the passage in question:
