I’ve been very quiet during #suicidepreventionawarenessweek because it’s shit being constantly reminded of all the things I might have done to save Alice. The “check-in” narrative is particularly distressing. I get that its’s appealing, plenty of people have an anecdote that it saved their life…

This is so true. There's a couple of books that's I've found on US eBay for a reasonable amount for an OOP book, but the shipping doubles the cost and means I'll be spending over £75 for the two!

YALL I GOT THE DETAILS AND OH BOY

MR BEAST
THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES
The book.
Do note how there's so many copies they've had to double up by putting some behind Return of the Spider.

ZHI. An adored Chinese gymnast, Lin Zhi will be forced to compete against her brother, Lin Jian (PLAYER #21), a platform diver who has no problem competing against anyone. This puts the two of them in the same discipline for the first time in their lives.

THE HOST. This mysterious disembodied character strikes fear into the heart of every player. His words alone have the power to change the player's lives and fortunes. Perhaps the most puzzling thing about him is his real agenda.

JIMMY. This is James Donaldson, AKA Mr Beast. A world-famous content creator known for his games and challenges. Jimmy has been asked by the content's organizers to help make the game as demanding as possible. He was approached by the organizers and believes in the mission behind these games. He believes the right person can help change everything for the better if given the right resources. Sharp, fair minded, and deeply loyal, he isn't afraid to stand up for the players when he suspects something is terribly wrong.

3. THIS IS DANGEROUS. There will be rules. There will be medical support. There will be ways to step out if you have to. But—you can get hurt. YOU CAN DIE. That is not hype. That is the truth.

78
Jimmy Donaldson is in London.
Normally he wouldn't, but right now, he hates that sentence. Because it means he's far away from the people he's grown to care about. And he's getting closer to the people he's trying to take down.

Today the last Plague Plays are carried out in the county. I wish I could get to performance at Long Croxley where it's the Faery King and not The Devil who is making the 'plague pact'.

Several villages enact plague plays on Sundays throughout the summer. It is well known that the ‘Great Mortality’ of the plague was brutal in Hookland. Many local ‘plague pacts’ were made in villages where their priests had fled to escape the disease in which promises were made to God, saints, the Devil or even older things in the hopes of being spared the pestilence. Many of these pacts are still commemorated to this day by the putting on of plague plays – quirky folk plays populated with a cast of odd characters. Most of the ones involving a pact between a village and God or a saint are frankly quite dull, while the those involving the Devil, the bone angel or echoes of truly ancient gods glimpsed in faeryland are much more
flamboyant and fun.

A typical plague play will start with a priest deserting his flock out of fear of the coming pestilence, only for him to meet it head on as he runs away. The village will then send a knight out to fight death who is quickly dispatched as is the quack doctor next sent to battle it. Eventually the crow doctor or mayor will try to mediate with
death. Unfortunately, the reaper will accept no sacrifice except the death of everyone. At this point, the villagers summon the Devil or something equally as dubious, make a bargain with it and watch as the Devil and death battle each other until Old Clip wins the day, forcing death to retreat. All that is left is for the Devil or Faery King is to
collect their payment – usually a child or a much-loved maiden – before reminding the audience that he is still keeping his end of the pact and they should be mindful to keep their end of it. I am probably underplaying the bawdy humour, physical comedy, scary costumes and underlying sense of perpetual horror from making such a pact that
the these plays provide, so I suggest go and watch one yourself.

Howard Stanley Crewe (1871–1919) was one of the first spirit photographers. These Spiritualists claimed to capture images of the deceased using tricks like double exposure. Though Crewe's images show the same signs of manipulation, his last portraits show something that still puzzles researchers (🧵)

A sepia-toned photograph of an early 20th century couple. They look soberly at the camera. Overlaid on top of their heads sits the ghostly image of a child, draped in sheet-like ectoplasm. The child's face has clearly been added through double exposure of the plate. Two dots are barely visible next to the woman's face.

This is bad enough as a response to someone commenting that supporting transphobic publications hurts trans people, but he doubles down on it further down the thread. I'm surprised he didn't post a picture of his Harry Potter collection to really rub in how he feels about trans people
