Maj. Gen. Nimrod Aloni, Commander of the Gaza Division and head of the IDF Depth Corps, has been captured by Hamas forces.

https://news.am/eng/news/785519.html

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod_Aloni

Here is his Wikipedia article.

Aloni has been behind many of the war crimes and air strikes in Gaza and the Gaza Strip, and he is also a head advisor to the IDF for military incursions into Palestinian territory.

Aloni was also the architect and general behind Israel’s 2021 “Operation: Guardian of the Walls”, which killed and wounded an estimated 4,000-5,000 Palestinians, and displaced 72,000+ Palestinian civilians.

The Depth Corps is a unit specialising in operations against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. They were behind many of the Mosque bombings, forced evictions, air strikes, and terror attacks on Palestinian civilians over the past two decades. The unit is currently in shambles and is being reformed behind the lines.

furry·Furry board for you to show off your socialist teeth!byComradeSalad

Art of my Sona. Trying to brainstorm ways to make him more “communister”!

Some art of my sona done by a good friend! I’m really happy with how it turned out, and I feel like the last minute addition of the bandana was a great touch!

Other then that I’ve been trying to brainstorm outfits or accessories that I could give him to make him more “communister” haha. The best I could think up of was holding a flag. Any ideas?

The Lemmygrad Furry Community is now open!

The Furry community is now open, and I hope that anyone interested can stop by! As a general hobby board the community will focus on discussion of all aspects of the hobby and furry community as a whole. This can range from sharing art, discussing personal progress with art, discussing news in the fandom, discussing conventions, artistic tips and tricks, suitmaking, and anything else that you can think of!

As well as what was previously mentioned, for those that are not furries but may be curious or confused about the community, feel free to use the board to asks question that can be answered by members of the community!

The creation of this community came from feeling that having more general hobby communities can help diversify Lemmygrad while simultaneously offering a little reprieve from the constant stream of politics. From this, I thought that there would be no better community to establish here then the furry fandom! A vast majority of the fandom identify as LGBTQ+, a large portion are nuerodivergent, most identify as some from of leftist, and lastly the community focuses on the Marxist ideal of exploration and expression of the self through artistic endeavors. All factors which come together to create the perfect leftist hobby community!

As a general hobby board the content posted does not need to be explicitly Marxist or political, but content will still follow general Lemmygrad rules.

I hope to see you on the board! All are welcome!

Happy to be back!

I hope everyone has been doing good and that these past few months have been well for you. Its been quite the trip for me, and I wanted to apologize for not being able to contribute these past few months like I was able to previously.

I was dealing with the possibility of receiving a life changing and potentially terminal cancer diagnosis. Simultaneously I was also dealing with the end of my semester and a plethora of exams, papers, and projects; along with job hunting to support myself these coming months. These left me with little time and energy to myself, and I wasn't able to participate here.

Thankfully the tests for the diagnosis were false positives and the problem was instead very minor and has been dealt with. I also finished off my semester as strong as I could with perfect marks! Which has in turn allowed me to transfer from my small local college, to a much more prestigious university!

I did also want to apologize for leaving on a sour note, as while I did have a lot going on which led to my fuse being short, I still feel terrible about my previous exchange and have no excuse for it. If Maud Dibber is reading this, I would also wish to apologize to you directly and expressly.

Overall things have been going much better then before for me, and I look forward to contributing again!

Thinking about my future is slowly killing me

I’m very sorry for rambling and writing terribly. It’s very late where I am and I feel exhausted after spending all day fighting myself again. I’ve been putting off sending a post like this for a while, but I just feel like I’m at the end of my rope. Hopefully I make at least a little sense. I just started typing and wrote from my heart without looking back. Thank you for reading.

I’m just very confused and its destroying my mental health. Thinking of the future in general is soul sucking. I don’t have dreams of traveling anymore, or going out with friends, or having a family or a high paying job. All I have is stress and fear from the very idea of working 40+ hour weeks at a dead end capitalist job with no vacations, no benefits, no sick days, playing a capitalist rat race, not having enough money to save up and support myself, and not having enough time or money to do anything interesting or worthwhile. I feel like I’m trapped in a cruel hell.

I’m currently in the college hell of trying to determine what to major in, and more importantly pursue in the future as a career or field. I’m quite lost and extremely anxious going through this. I feel that most of my interests are laughable and/or translate to poorly paying jobs, or are social “negatives” that can only be rarely applied in a very niche collection of spaces in a capitalist system (i.e. Marxism). For example I was very interested in political sciences, but jobs are one in a million if I weren’t to pursue academia or law which I’m not particularly interested in. Even then what little jobs there are are pretty much all for neoliberal, conservative, and imperialist; corporations, thinktanks, and government institutions. Along with that, all my dreams of the future feel empty and impossible now, as I have a hard time finding any strength to fight back against the system alone. It’s hard to see the purpose is trying. I feel like I made a big mistake walking out Plato’s cave and seeing the world for what it is. I wish I could go back to the blissful ignorance.

I can’t even decide what I like anymore, I don’t enjoy anything useful like Comp Sci or Medicine, and I don’t feel a particular strong passion or interest for any field, even ones that don’t pay well or are rare. For example I have a friend in art school, which while an unconventional and poorly respected path in the capitalist hellscape, they find great passion and interest in what they do and love every moment of it. Letting them pay little attention to the future.

Meanwhile I feel trapped thinking about the failure I will amount to as I am stuck paralyzed. All I can think about is the hellscape of the system I’m trapped in with no way to claw out of. Like a bad dream that you can’t wake up from.

I’m very privileged to have been able to see a a very distinguished and well respected therapist and psychologist for what’s been going on in my life, but even they’re clueless. All they can give are sad platitudes, and depressing agreement to what I say. They are a wonderful person and try their best, but it seems like there’s little someone can do to help a problem like this.

I feel trapped and cursed.
