Djinn

My version of Ra’s al Ghul reimagines him as a Bedouin man from an Adnanite tribe living in 17th century Ottoman Empire. Before becoming Ra’s, he was Khalid, a physician serving within the Basha of Damascus’s household.

A major part of his backstory is that he leaves his tribe to pursue medicine in the city. In a collectivist tribal context, decision like that is complicated. It was viewed by some including his uncle as abandoning communal obligations in favor of personal aspiration.

Part of that tension also comes from the fact that Khalid carries tribal knowledge outside the tribe and uses it to serve the powerful.

His understanding of medicine wasn't only academic or courtly; some of it came from tribal medicine, oral knowledge, survival practices and forms of care developed within tribal context. By entering the Basha's household, he uses knowledge rooted in a collectivist community to serve the elites. This fracture with his tribe is deeply important long before he becomes Ra's al Ghul.

He starts out as someone driven by genuine care and responsibility but also as someone negotiating complicated ideas of duty, sacrifice, belonging and control.

I really struggle asking for help publicly, but I am currently dealing with a financial emergency after my water service was accidentally cancelled due to failed payments while I’ve been stuck in overdraft. I’m on ODSP and won’t have income for another 12 days, and right now I’m trying to prevent the situation from escalating further.

If anyone is able to help, even a little, I would be deeply grateful. If you cannot, sharing is also appreciated beyond words.

Thank you for all the kindness and support people have shown me and my work lately. It genuinely means more than I can explain. 🫶

I was looking around S4S full changelog until my eyes caught something interesting 👀

+ Added a batch edit menu to folders in My CC + Added a batch edit option to set the CAS Display Index of all packages in a folder. 🆕 + Added another batch edit option to My CC Folder menu - "Change Display Index (sorted by package name)"...

Previously, the only way you can group CC creators together is if you edit their CAS display index per packages in S4CASTools. Now, with the new S4S update, you can do so with the batch edit feature in one go!

🆕 With the S4S v3.2.1.3 update, there's now an option to change all CCs in a folder to your assigned display index number, sorted by package name. If you're looking to sort your CCs alphabetically, now you can! More details later.

⚠️ Do note that for every batch fix you do, it will create a backup folder with all the unedited files stored in \Documents\Sims 4 Studio\Batch Fixes, which can bloat your storage quickly. Do your batch fix in small batches, regularly check in-game if it works correctly, and continue. You might need to delete the backup files in the Batch Fixes folder if you’re no longer using the unedited files.

Part II of my reading list for Cassandra Cain. This one chronicles the current iteration of the character, and all her modern appearances.

Part I you can view here. 

Part III reading guide (Random) you can find here.

Part IV reading guide (Alternate versions) you can find here.

Part V reading guide (PAIN) you can find here.

Compiled first for my personal use and tidied up for @jonkentweek ! Goes up to June 2024 and includes every appearance of this character that I could find. I used ComicVine's archive to track these down, which is both fallible and constantly being updated, so there might be some mistakes. Also, I did my best to highlight the occasions where Jon was a significant character in a story and to skip the ones that were just a non-speaking, one-panel cameo, but those were personal judgements and your mileage might vary.

Color key (and apologies for the eye strain): Red are issues in which Jon is a central character, not just a cameo, Blue are crossover events, Orange are stories that take place in alternate universes/are non canonical

My name is Osama Basil, a web developer from Gaza. Over the past 10 months, I’ve witnessed the devastation of war firsthand. My office, where I devoted myself to my work, was destroyed, along with my source of income and future aspirations.The situation in Gaza grows more difficult each day, with destruction becoming a constant part of our reality. We've lost friends, colleagues, and loved ones, leaving our community deeply scarred.But I refuse to surrender. Despite the displacement and loss, I am committed to rebuilding my career and life. The war took my job, dreams of marriage, and a chance to pursue a master’s degree in programming and web design. After fleeing to Rafah with my family, I’ve been living in a tent for months, grappling with unstable access to electricity

Thank you so much for supporting me and sharing my story.

Hello, friends. I launched my campaign in May 2024 to support myself and my family in Gaza. Unfortunately, I am still struggling to raise enough funds. As of today, the donations for my campaign have reached €4,560 out of my €15,000 goal, with very slow progress and a small number of contributions.

✅My campaign has been verified in several ways. It was directly shared on the @gaza-evacuation-funds page, which is dedicated to vetting fundraisers for people in Gaza by @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi in this post.

It has also been verified by @90-ghost in this post and @gazavetters, with my number verified on their list as (#146).

I kindly ask for your support in donating and sharing my campaign and story. Every contribution and share helps make a difference. 🙏

A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety

I am Ibrahim from Gaza, married to Shaima Al-Sir. @shaimaasblog My family consists of two people. For 8 years, we have had a dream of having a child who will make our lives more beautiful.

We are now living in the midst of a hellish war between death, destruction and hunger.

I was waiting for more than 8 years to have a transplant to have my first child, but because of the war, fear, sounds of explosions and displacement from one place to another, I lost my child.

I am now living the worst days of my life because of all this. My husband and I want your help to escape from all that we are suffering and get out of Gaza to safety.

Please donate and re-notation and share❤
