As far as I can tell whoever I choose I will be rescued, so the real question is who do I most want to hang out with 🤔😁 And that is a toss up between Vimes, Susan, and Esme...

As the world mourns the passing of Marjane Satrapi, I cannot help but reflect on her declining of the French Legion of Honor last year, calling out the hypocrisy of accepting such an award from a government that systematically fails the very Iranian refugees they claim to honor.

Her action stands out even more today, just weeks after France announced a nearly billion euro surge to further militarize Channel border security, a harsh crackdown on the exact routes desperately used by migrants fleeing the Khamenei regime.

Satrapi stood as a beacon of solidarity to those fleeing oppression, and the world is duller today without her in it.

https://www.france24.com/en/culture/20260604-french-iranian-author-marjane-satrapi-author-of-persepolis-dies-at-56 I'm sad that Marjane Satrapi has died.

I have often come across the quote below. Before reposting it, I wanted to verify it. And I found out it's from a 2005 Salon interview https://www.salon.com/2005/04/24/satrapi_2/ -- during the time I worked at Salon! A neat coincidence for me.
