Pathfinder : WoTR fancomic : Duality of dretches

Context : Dretches are an early game demon, and on the lower difficulties, they just kinda flail around at you and don't really do much damage, and die super easily. On higher difficulties, they use stinking cloud which stuns your entire party lol

he was imprisoned for treason and put on death row, where he drowned out the sounds of other inmates being hanged by singing anti-apartheid folk songs. when asked to confirm whether he spied for the anc he said yeah, and it got us democracy

Renfrew Christie, who died in december, was a white south african who used the cover of writing his dissertation on "the history of electricity in south africa" to research and identify the facilities the apartheid regime were using to prepare nuclear material, so he could pass that info to the anc and they could bomb the sites. when he was caught, he wrote a confession that included all the new info he had, which the judge read aloud and enabled the anc to do more bombings.

of course, this nyt obit does not mention that that apartheid nuclear program was guided and supported by israel

this obituary made me cry https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/world/africa/renfrew-christie-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.E1A.SiSy.MOh_w_j8mzbb&smid=url-share

Yo folks! I've partnered with a legal team who has asked me for assistance. Please share if you can

The US has implemented policies targeting non-citizens working in content moderation through deportations and visa denials. The org I'm working with is pursuing litigation to invalidate these policies.

We are looking for US-based, non-citizen Mastodon mods to be a (named or unnamed) plaintiff in the fight to protect the first amendment. Please dm me if interested!
