Restless in Peace Arena Giveaway

Like I said before, I ordered the Restless in Peace Secret Lair. It comes with an MtG Arena code to have the Life from the Loam art as your sleeve backs.

I don’t play Arena, so I’ll be doing a giveaway of the code.

Giveaway Rules

I will be running the giveaway until Monday, Dec 9th, around 10AM EST.

2 chances to enter: 1 like and 1 reblog. Anything more is not counted. If you’re just boosting, put something in the tags for me to see.

Must be following me. New follows are fine. If you are some blank blog, I won’t count the entry.

Good luck!

So I caved and got the Kaleidoscope Killers as well (thank god I’ve been saving money), so now there will be TWO winners, chosen at random. I’ll be extending the giveaway to Tuesday to give more people a chance to enter. 

Tomorrow morning (10AM EST) is the deadline! Please make sure to follow all the rules above. Thank you!

“Let us put it generally: if a regime is immoral, its citizens are free from all obligations to it.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Gulag Archipelago.

[Pictured: Captain Pia Klemp sitting in a chair beside her controls.

@VivianAngrisani on Twitter wrote on 6/8/2019: “Pia Klemp, a German biologist & boat captain faces 20 yrs in prison for rescuing 1,000+ migrants at risk of drowning whilst crossing the Mediterranean. Seeking asylum is a human right. Only 1 in 100 sea captains are female. This woman is a humanitarian, not a criminal. #FreePia”

@Galactic_Rabbit quote-tweeted on 6/10/2019 and wrote: “Thinking about all those videos of people honored in their old age for hiding/protecting Jewish people.”]

To all the people commenting that she’s an accessory to “illegal immigration,” note that seeking asylum is a human right. Countries which refuse asylum are in violation of the Geneva Convention. They get away with this and propagandize complacency towards the victims by using bureaucracy to complicate immigration proceedings. During times of genocide, this is tantamount to hearing a would-be murder victim knocking on your door and locking the deadbolt.

People who risk dying getting smuggled across borders do so out of sheer desperation because the situation they’re leaving is worse. Finally, you are missing the entire point: violation of the law is warranted when the laws violate human rights and criminalize existence. Laws which call immigrants “illegal” are tools of a systemic negligence designed to condemn those who need legal protection the most.

There are lots of ways to help in political crises. Protesting, voting, joining unions, calling your asshole representatives so they know their days in office are numbered, making sure people know their rights, protecting immigrants and minorities-in-general who live in your neighborhood, etc. are all good,

but in terms of the human rights violations happening in America right now, here’s something more immediate you can do.

If you’re in a financial place to make donations, check out these links. If not, spreading the word on any tangible way to make a difference will help; if you have a twitter, you could retweet the original thread here: twitter.com/sarahmirk/status/1143201552657575937

I don’t usually make these posts myself, but my influence on Twitter is practically nil, so here I am.

Thank you so much for this post! I never would have known about this.

For anyone looking for local community bond funds, here is a directory of community bond funds by state: https://www.communityjusticeexchange.org/melt-ice

(While I haven’t vetted each state fund on the list, the site is a project of the Tides Center, which has a score of 96.5/100 on CharityNavigator.)
