Think of all the little girls in African and middle eastern countries who are pinned down while their genitals are horrifically cut open and mutilated without any sort of pain killer. Were they mutilated because they liked painting their nails and wearing dresses?

Think of all the little girls in developing nations who are told that they are being sent to work as a maid, only to find out that their parents were tricked, and they are now being prostituted at a brothel. Were they sentenced to a life of sexual abuse because they liked wearing makeup and having long hair?

Think of all the girls and women in Nepal and India who are forced into menstrual huts when they have their periods. Think of the girls who are left exposed in these huts and are raped by strange men, or else die from exposure to extreme heat, cold and flooding. Did they die because “skirt go spinny,” or because they liked playing the female avatar in video games?

Think of all the little girls in Africa who have just started developing breast buds, and their panicked mothers, aunts, and grandmothers feeling as though they must flatten their breasts with an iron in order to prevent them from being raped or married off as child brides. Were their bodies stunted because they liked playing with dolls rather than trucks?

Think of all the girls and women who become pregnant through rape, or else are impoverished, homeless, disabled, or not physically or mentally healthy enough to have a child. Are they denied control over their bodies because they look or act a certain way? Or was it by virtue of having a female body and genitalia?

Think of all the girls and women in countries ruled by Sharia law and militant Islam, who are denied an education, and routinely killed for trying to go to school. Were they murdered for opting into womanhood as some indefinable, mysterious, unknowable essence?

This is why I vehemently disagree with the notion of "centring transwomen" in discussions of the systemic abuse that women suffer, both presently and historically. The majority of violence, abuse and oppression inflicted upon women on a global scale is SEX BASED, not gender based. It isn’t because they’ve chosen to present as a woman, it is because they ARE women. And if people would step outside of their privilege and view things on an international scale, they would clearly see that.

Being a woman isn’t a costume, it’s a life sentence. Trans rights should be discussed separate to women's rights.

Venus in 9-12th House

Hello everyone! I am FINALLY back with the last part of the Venus in Houses series. I checked my inbox again and it is FLOODED with requests for this :') I appreciate your patience so much and enjoy!

Venus in 9th House

The free-spirited and worldly beauty

I notice people with this placement usually have very beautiful, well-shaped legs! Strong thighs and calves

Very philosophical. They often follow more optimistic/ idealistic philosophies and outlooks

A love for foreign cultures; they are the type to explore local food spots, language/dialect, and live in Airbnb or host families because they want the authentic experience

Usually date people from a different cultural background or ethnic group, or people with exotic features

Prone to escapism though, can have the “grass is always greener on the other side” in their relationships mentally if not developed

Their lesson is to enjoy the present moment and make the best out of it. The present moment is all we have. While it is great to have ideals and dreams to look forward to, appreciating the here and now is a mindset that will benefit them greatly!

Open-minded

They usually go through 'phases' in their lives and can have drastic changes in their mindset and belief system due to their constantly expanding nature. They are the type of person to completely transform after every major relationship. It is a more positive Plutonic energy.

They always strive to become a better person and they see everything as a lesson, especially in their relationships. As they grow older, they become more carefree and authentic because they understand that life is meant to be experienced and every mistake is a chance to understand themselves even more

Into charity and philanthropy

Most likely to have a map or globe somewhere in their room

"I'll throw a dart at the map and whatever it lands on I will go... um maybe not there"

Sociable and loner at the same time

Value freedom above all else

Their self-esteem is greatly boosted from learning new things, exploring different places, and self-growth

Like to give advice and act as a mentor to people

Wise and spiritual

Like an adventurous, educated partner who matches their intellect and gives them the freedom they need

May not necessarily be religious, but they have a strong belief in a higher being(s)

People see them as very lucky because things always seem to go their way! Since this house is ruled by Jupiter, that may partly be true. But what gives them such luck is their generous, helpful, and giving nature. They give out just as much as they receive!

Value higher education and knowledge (not always have to be college)

Spend a lot of money on travelling

Most likely to have or want to run a travel blog

They themselves often look quite exotic; people often tell them they don’t look like their ethnicity

Being in the social scenes one day, hiking alone in Nepal the next

High chance of finding love in a foreign country

Always yearn to be somewhere else; feel like they don’t belong to the place they grew up in

Like Gemini, very versatile and multi-talented

May be prone to indulgence especially if Venus is in Taurus, Libra, Cancer, and Pisces

Will try anything once

The ones I know all have a box full of things they collect from traveling like plane tickets, post cards, and souvenirs and that is their price possession

Young soul and old soul in one

Live life to the fullest

Venus in 10th House

Intimidating and show-stopping beauty

Popular, or at least well-known in every setting

Always strives to leave a good impression

They are loved by almost everyone; they are often mentioned even when they are not there

Networking is their forte

They may be interested in the beauty or entertainment industry, especially if Venus is in Aries, Leo, Libra and sometimes Pisces as well

Affectionate and caring

They love dating someone that will make them look good in public; someone who is as successful, driven, and put together as them

They love taking charge

Most likely to be voted for class president or any leadership position

So many people look up to them! They can be seen as a role model

The ‘pretty one’ in the friend group

Bring a positive energy to any social settings. Even if they are more introverted, they still bring in the fun to their close friend group

The responsible one. Will assume the role of the mother hen, fend off creeps, and take their drunk friends back home

Since this house is ruled by Saturn, they are very loyal and steadfast once they are committed. They value honesty, integrity, and devotion in their close relationships. Similar to Venus-Saturn or Capricorn Venus placements.

Their self-esteem is boosted through achievements, especially entering competitions and winning awards of any kind

They love seeing their loved ones proud of them

They also strive to provide for their family as well. They are willing to shoulder a lot to take care of the people the love.

But they should be careful not to over-identify themselves with achievements and the need to prove themselves that they neglect close relationships

Most of them are disciplined and have strong principles

Organized; they’re the type to carry around a fancy leather-bound planner and boss you around (and you will love it)

Style icons! Very trendy people. I notice a lot of them like high-end clothes with bold logos

They work hard for the life they want, and they get it

The type to have their life planned out since they were in middle school

Even though they are often charming and easy-going, they are very serious people when it comes to their plans and work

Lucky when it comes to their career path! They know the right connections to make to advance in life

Excel in marketing, business management, and the arts

Their public persona is very well-crafted

They usually like business wear like trousers, blazers, and heels

Very loved in their workplace and by their bosses!

Venus in 11th House

The eccentric and unattainable beauty

Very open-minded people

The person most of the people in the friend group have a crush on at some point

Very charming!

They are the type to get invited everywhere but only show up to a few

Popular loner placement. Everyone knows them but not many do on a deeper level

Underrated placement for loyalty. This house is ruled by Aquarius, a fixed sign after all. They may get bored easily and seek constant stimulation, but once they set their sight on someone, they are all in.

Their magnetism lies in their detachment; even when they’re there, they still feel out of reach to most people

I notice they are more comfortable in large groups than one-on-one interactions

Visionary and futuristic

Very high ideals for themselves and their relationship(s)

Since this is the house of dreams and aspirations, they may find that when they follow their true callings, help comes from everywhere for them

Prefer (best) friends to lovers type of connection

Need to be intellectually stimulated or else they will start to wander

Value an intelligent, open-minded, and well-rounded partner

Treat their partner as their equal

Like someone who is stable, loyal, but still give them space to be their own person and grow (and will do the same for their partner)

Want someone who is authentic and a non-conformist

Secretly enjoy showing off their partner

Also, like someone that elevate their image/status in some ways especially if Venus is in Aries, Leo, Libra, and sometimes Capricorn as well

Like people who are the opposite or very different from them

They often have unique perspectives about life

People are drawn to the way they express themselves regardless of what that image may be

Drawn to independent, confident, and compassionate people

But they need to learn to be more vulnerable and not put up a wall with people who love and care for them. They sometimes want to be so independent that they may distant themselves to gain that space back

Love to stand out and go against the grain

Even when they don’t aim for leadership positions, they are always trusted with them

Influential in their social groups

Potential to be famous on social media

Very creative; they are often trend-setters in their field

Since the 11th house is ruled by Saturn, they are gifted with long-lasting friendships and relationship once they find their people. However, some of them might have to go through periods of isolation and feeling like an outcast first. This is to teach them to embrace their individuality, and once they do, they are incredibly loved for who they are.

Venus in 12th House

The ethereal and otherworldly beauty

Extremely kind, caring, and compassionate

Truly beautiful souls

They have so much empathy for the people around them

A healing and comforting aura

They have an air of mystery to them; the people others admire from afar

Often spiritual people. Their spirituality is rooted in universal love and compassion for everyone

The kinder they are, the more they receive

Their self-esteem is boosted through being selfless, helpful, kind, and caring to others. They are genuinely givers and being generous bring them a lot of joy

Pure-hearted. Absolute angels!

Since the 12th house is about the subconscious and sometimes self-sabotage, they should be careful to protect their energy from negative people because that can influence how they feel and see the world

Even though they love the people around them deeply, they often need to retreat and have space for themselves like other 12th house placements

They benefit a lot from meditation and grounding practices

A deep connection with the universe, whether they are conscious of it or not

Great at manifesting once they believe in themselves!

Since this house dissolves whatever is in it, they can sometimes feel like love is out of reach despite being very loving

They crave a soul connection with their partner, something that transcends the physical. They often encounter very intense connections because they bring out a side of their partners that they are not even aware of

Very wise and contemplative

Guardian angel placement

They may burden themselves with others’ problems and become overwhelmed because they take on too much. Please be kind to yourselves!

Their lesson is to believe in a higher power, in the universe. Once they open themselves up to the cosmic energy and embrace who they are at the core, they will attract the right partner

Like Pisces, they are often very idealistic in love and can sometimes put their partner on a pedestal

Very self-sacrificial once in love as well

They remind me of the High Priestess card in Tarot

Extremely intuitive, they can read people like an open book

Effortlessly pick up others’ energies and can see things below the surface

They may feel lonely and out of place quite a bit despite being so easy-going and charming and this may be a reoccurring 12th house theme

But their feeling of loneliness is teaching them to come back to who they are and know that the most important relationship they have is with themselves

They should also learn to prioritize themselves first. When they have a solid foundation of who they are, they will be able to extend their loving nature to others even more.

Snuffles and Son Chapter Two Preview

A few minutes later, the door to the workshop swung open, revealing a tired-looking Remus Lupin. Sirius greeted his longtime friend with a warm smile. "Hey mate, how was Nepal?"

"Cold," Remus replied with a weary sigh, placing a silk pouch on the counter. "Payment from Batsal. His cursed wardrobe ended up being a boggart. What have you got there?"

Sirius explained the situation with the cup, informing Remus that the Ministry had taken over the Lestrange vault and that Moody had requested his expertise in examining the mysterious artifact.

Remus leaned over Sirius’ shoulder to get a closer look at the cup, his curiosity piqued. "Need help?"

"Nah," Sirius replied, shaking his head. "Just mind the shop while I figure this out."

As Sirius dimmed the light in his workroom, he focused his wand light on the surface of the cup, scanning meticulously for any hidden engravings or signatures that might reveal clues about what dark magic inhabited the cup.

Memories of the library at Grimmauld Place flooded his mind—the tall stacks of books filled with grotesque drawings and arcane symbols, the countless hours spent poring over ancient tomes with his brother, Regulus. There were books that spoke of souls and immortality, of ancient rituals and forbidden spells—the darkest corners of magic that most wizards dared not explore. Sirius and Regulus had been drawn to these forbidden books like moths to a flame, their thirst for knowledge overriding their sense of caution.

Summary

This project, led by an Indian NGO Mahila Housing Sewa Trust (MHT), is on a mission to organise and empower women in low-income households to increase their resilience to impacts of climate change. To date, MHT’s initiatives have helped 25,000 low-income families across seven cities in India, Bangladesh and Nepal.

The project is centred around an integrated model wherein women take the lead through collective action and technology incubation to devise locally relevant, pro‐poor, gender-sensitive and climate-resilient solutions. For example, women were trained to be energy auditors who encourage households to switch to more efficient products, forming a women-led distribution network of green energy and building products. Other solutions include using sprinkler taps to reduce the flow of water, harvesting rainwater, and other behavioural changes leading to more than 60% of households reporting to have increase in water quantity and more than 32% having sufficient water during summers.

Though projects like these, MHT is empowering women to take action against four major climate risks: heat waves, flooding and inundation, water scarcity, and water-vector-borne diseases. These slow‐onset events attract less attention but frequently impact poor people, particularly women, the most.

Key Facts

Mahila Housing Sewa Trust (MHT) has helped organise 114 Community Action Groups, who have reached out to 27,227 women in 107 slums. Of the women they’ve worked with, 8,165 women were recorded to demonstrate an increase in “knowledge seeking behavior”.

Over 1,500 women have been trained as climate-saathis, who are responsible for communicating the issue of climate change with their community in their local language. Through this communications exercise, the proportion of participants who viewed climate change as an act of god reduced from 26 % to 9 %.

To date, around 28,000 energy audits have been undertaken in slum communities, which have saved families over USD 700,000 per annum in electricity costs. These money and energy saving interventions have included installing over 200 modular roofs and 500 roofs with solar reflective white paint, while having also led to a reduction of 105 tonnes of CO2e per annum.

The Problem

It is estimated that over 190.7 million people live in informal settlements in South Asia. These settlements are often densely populated and highly vulnerable to even the slightest changes to our climate.

MHT’s project is building the resilience capacities of over 25,000 low-income families living in slums and informal settlements across seven cities in three South Asian countries, including: Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Ranchi, Jaipur, Bhubaneswar (India); Dhaka (Bangladesh), and Kathmandu (Nepal).

Their initiatives empower women to lead local mitigation efforts to prevent key climate risks such as heatwaves, flooding and inundation, and climate change related incidences of water-vector borne diseases. These types of slow-onset events tend to attract less global attention, while also disproportionately impacting low-income households. Women are commonly the primary caregiver and responsible for household management, which renders them more vulnerable to these types of stresses.

The Solution

MHT has championed a women-led empowerment model for building climate resilience in the slums of South Asia, focused around organising groups of women in their communities. Their model builds upon the conviction that if the urban poor are provided with requisite knowledge to undertake vulnerability and risk assessments, and are equipped with available resilient‐technologies, they will be able to devise and implement locally relevant and pro‐poor, climate-resilient solutions

The project model emphasizes women taking the lead through collective action and technology incubation in order to devise these locally relevant, gender-sensitive and climate-resilient solutions. To make this possible, MHT, assists with facilitating the required infrastructure, institutional and financial mechanisms.

Helping the Planet

Through empowering women, this project is also helping reduce the emissions associated with the production of electricity in these communities. For example, one of MHT’s core initiatives trains women to become energy auditors and educate households on the nuances of energy use such as bill calculation, wattage consumption and energy wastage. As energy auditors, these women also encourage households to switch to more energy efficient products.

These trained energy auditors also act as grassroots level micro-entrepreneurs, by forming a women-led distribution network of green energy and building products. Energy auditors promote the installation of energy efficient LED bulbs and lights, modular roofs, airlite ventilator, many other solutions.

Helping People

While women from low-income families are often the most vulnerable as they have the least access to information and resources, MHT believes they also have the greatest potential to be empowered to become agents of change.

The rationale for the project is to provide these women with the requisite knowledge to undertake vulnerability and risk assessments, while also equipping them with the available climate resilient-technologies. This means they will be able to identify climate induced vulnerabilities, minimize risk and adopt locally relevant climate resilient solutions. In turn, these women also can potentially play a role in influencing better city planning and governance for pro-poor adaptation and resilience actions.

Spillover Effect

Currently, MHT is in the process of training other grassroots organisations to reproduce similar women-led groups in areas such as Bhubaneswar, Dhaka and Kathmandu.

While many other urban resilience programs are top-down and externally driven, MHT has made a concerted effort to ensure their initiatives are low-cost, contextually-appropriate and participatory. Urban poor that have been organized under this program gather critical planning data to design their own solutions and negotiate with other urban stakeholders, as well as test and manage implementation of these solutions.

Through empowering women to help improve their homes and communities, MHT’s initiatives have also triggered behavior change in communities towards making more informed decisions. This has in turn empowered them with the necessary knowledge to demand improved government services, thus proving that this concept can be expanded to other communities throughout the world.

Mountains in the Himalayas, which span India, Bhutan, Nepal and Pakistan, hardly have any weather stations, which often leads to a lack of accurate data on precipitation levels. There are a few stations located in the lower elevations of the mountains but they do not show whether the precipitation recorded is rain or snowfall. However, a weather station installed at the base camp of Mount Everest showed that 75% of the 245.5mm precipitation on the mountain between 1 June and 10 August this year had fallen as rain. The remaining was snow or a combination of rain and snow. This is a huge jump from the 32% of rain recorded between June and September in 2022, 43% in 2021 and 41% in 2020.

Zhang Qiling's Childhood

I. Introduction

Zhang Qiling's childhood takes place from around the 1890s to the 1910s. We are not given many dates, but we are given ages and other helpful information. Everything in this post happened before Zhang Qiling reached the age of 13.

This post is based on the novels only and includes MAJOR SPOILERS from the novel Tibetan Sea Flower. Additionally, this post will include information from the novels that were left out/changed in Ultimate Note and Tomb of the Sea.

PLEASE let me know if there are any inaccuracies or if you have any questions. This is the first part of a ZQL timeline, so I want to make it as accurate and non-confusing as possible when I post the whole thing on AO3. Thank you to everyone who helped me with this 🥰

Sources are on the wiki page:

Book Wiki ZQL Page

II. Birth (1890-1911)

Zhang Qiling was born on a sunny day in November. His exact birth year is unknown but based on Sand Sea and Tibetan Sea Flower, he was likely born sometime between 1890 and 1911.[Explanation of how this was calculated]

Zhang Qiling's parents were Bai Ma, a Tibetan doctor, and an unnamed father from the Zhang Family. Zhang Qiling's father met Bai Ma when he went to deliver goods in Nepal. Normally, the Zhang family intermarried to keep their blood pure, but Zhang Qiling was an outlier. His mother was someone from outside of the family.

III. Early Years

A. The 3,000-Year-Old Baby

As a baby, Zhang Qiling's father brought him to the Zhang family during the winter. The Zhangs were a powerful family that controlled historical events over countless dynasties. They have a long life span but bear intolerable side effects as a result.

Around the same time, the Zhang family opened King Zhou Mu's dragon-patterned box and took out a baby that had been sleeping for 3,000 years. This 3,000-year-old baby would have been a sign that perfect immortality—that is immortality without any negative side effects—was achievable. The hope of one day attaining perfect immortality and living free of intolerable side effects was at the core of the family's survival. But the 3,000-year-old baby had died, and perfect immortality was an extravagant hope. The baby was replaced with Zhang Qiling to fool the rest of the family and further the lie of immortality.

Zhang Qiling grew up without knowing his birth parents in the Zhang family's mansion located in the mountainous area of Jinling. At an early age, he was protected like a god and received rigorous training and education. He was also under a great deal of pressure from the family. Zhang Qiling didn’t talk or play with the other children and was generally a very lonely child.

B. The Conspiracy Is Exposed

It’s not known how long the lie about his birth lasted, but eventually the family’s lies and conspiracies were exposed, and as many in the family started rejecting the old social system, they became divided. Zhang Qiling was deemed the main culprit for dividing the family and was regarded as a disgrace by the very same people who had used him to rule it.

C. A Crisis Emerges

The Zhang family's rule soon began to decline and severe civil strife emerged. Two factions of the Zhangs, the main clan system and Fo Ye's family, fought in Sizhou City. As a result of this infighting, the Zhang family patriarch died and the city was flooded. Normally, the patriarch would correctly estimate his time of death and hand the new patriarch a special bronze bell. This bronze bell could not only offset the effect of other bronze bells, but was also the key to accessing a room where the Zhang family kept valuable secrets, including information on the Ultimate. These secrets were the duty and purpose of the family, and because of the patriarch's untimely death, they lost their reason for existing and a crisis emerged.

Conspirators at that time (likely the Wangs) wanted to prevent the Zhang family from finding out the Zhang patriarch was buried with the bell. And since the conspirators controlled the government, they were able to completely seal off the city. However, some in the Zhang family knew what had happened and went looking for the bell in the sealed-off city.

D. Looking for the Bronze Bell in Sizhou City

After Zhang Qiling was adopted by an unknown Zhang man, his adoptive father and that part of the family brought Zhang Qiling into the city to look for the bell. At eight or nine years old, Zhang Qiling was used as a blood bag because of his rare qilin blood. He was also a laborer and entered the narrow spaces that adults couldn’t to find artifacts. It was against the rules to bring such a young child into the field, but like other adopted Zhang children, Zhang Qiling had no one to protect him. The family failed to find the bronze bell and many of them, including Zhang Qiling's adoptive father, died as a result of the infighting while looking for the bell. Zhang Qiling managed to escape and knew that the secrets were still buried in the ancient city.
