At one point, Mr. Kaminsky was asked to produce 900 birth and baptismal certificates and ration cards for 300 Jewish children in institutional homes who were about to be rounded up. The aim was to deceive the Germans until the children could be smuggled out to rural families or convents, or to Switzerland and Spain. He was given three days to finish the assignment.
He toiled for two straight days, forcing himself to stay awake by telling himself: “In one hour I can make 30 blank documents. If I sleep for an hour 30 people will die.”
Mr. Kaminsky died on Monday at his home in Paris, his daughter Sarah Kaminsky said. He was 97.

ID 1: A blue sky with the top of a pink cloud in the lower left corner. It continues in image 2.
ID 2: Various tall thin islands are shown just below the pink clouds. Lots of the islands have houses and farms. Between the islands are floating balloons of different shapes and colours. At the bottom of the image are green goblin-like creatures working.
ID 3: A three panel page showing 2 of the goblins working. One wears brown, the other wears black. In panel one, the brown-clothed goblin says “I don’t get you, man.” The black-clothed goblin has a tool box and is swinging a hammer. In panel two, the brown-clothed goblin looks confused and continues “You spend as much time as anyone building your stories”. The black-clothed goblin looks unimpressed. In panel three the black-clothed goblin looks at a blueprint of a plan while the brown-clothed goblin keeps talking “You put in all this effort and care.”
ID 4: A three panel page showing a continuation of the conversation. In panel one, the brown-clothed goblin smiles and says “I mean, do you even know what we’re supposed to be doing?” The black-clothed goblin has work goggles on and appears to be welding. In panel two, the brown-clothed goblin looks to the other islands where goblins are flying and being lifted by the balloons. They say “Stories are supposed to lift people up! They’re supposed to be bright and fun!” In panel three, there are scary-looking black, grey and dark blue creations. The brown-clothed goblin looks at the work of the black-clothed goblin and says “These things that you make…”
ID 5: A three panel page showing a continuation of the conversation. In panel one, the black-clothed goblin attaches a creation to a chain. The brown-clothed goblin says “I’m just curious, do you have any idea what you are doing? Are you crazy?” In panel two, the black-clothed goblin holds a lever while glaring at the brown-clothed goblin. In panel three, they pull the lever. Red text reads “Kerchnk”.
ID 6: A four panel page showing the creation being released. In panel one it breaks out of the launch place – text around it reads “Chnk” “Spak!” “Chnk” “Klunk” “Rrrrrrr”. In panel two the creation starts to take off across the island down a pre-carved path. Pink clouds fill the lower half of the panel and there is fire coming out of the end of the creation. In panel three it continues down the carved out path – yellow text reads “brooo” as it moves. In panel four, the creation has disappeared over the edge of the island with text following the path reading “aarroo”.
ID 7: A five panel page showing the aftermath of the creation being released. In panel one, a chain starts to unravel and the brown-clothed goblin looks on in confusion. In panel two, there is a close-up of the chain showing that it has a handle. In panel three, the chain and handle also go over the edge. In panel four, the brown-clothed goblin looks excited and says “Ha! That was beautiful, man. Right over the edge. Like a stone!” The black-clothed goblin continues to look unimpressed. In panel five, the black-clothed goblin looks at the path made by the creation as the brown-clothed goblin walks away saying “You’re crazy, man.”
ID 8: A two panel page. Panel one shows a zoom out of the island the black-clothed goblin was working on. Panel two shows the islands going further down and the sky gets darker towards the bottom.
ID 9: The background continues to get darker, fading to black.
ID 10: The creation has landed at the bottom of the islands. It is dark and pink skeletons can be seen on the grey rocks. Four hands reach up out of the ground towards the creation.
ID 11: A three panel page. In panel one, a grey hand breaks out of the ground to reach the handle. In panel two, the hand grabs on with text reading “Ching!” to show the contact. In panel three, a goblin covered in black goo is pulled out of the ground.
ID 12: A two panel page showing the goblin being raised slowly back out of the underground section. A signature B. Patrick ’14 is written in white text.

It’s still so strange to me how apparently taboo it is to like a post on someone’s Instagram from a month ago when there are posts still circulating on Tumblr from 1550 BCE
“it’s okay to live with your parents as an adult if you’re disabled” “it’s okay if it’s a cultural thing” “it’s okay if you’re trying to save mon-” shh. listen. it is okay for any reason. you don’t need to have a justification. if your parents are alright with it and you’re alright with it you can just do it. peace and love on planet earth etc etc

The first image is a screenshot of a tweet posted on 25 May 2020 at 11:17pm by “Amanda in Conure-tine” (@cinniharpy). It says: “As it turns out, Furby is a nonbinary icon”, with a photo from a Furby booklet.
The photo reads “Q: How do I know if my Furby is a boy or a girl?“
"A: Furbys are similar to angels. They are not divided into male or female- they embody the best of both. Some people theorize that you can answer this question by the pitch of the voice, but we like the angel theory more!”
The second image posted by deadteafling is taken from the first. It is cropped to focus on the line: “A. Furbys are similar to angels.”
The third image posted by hzs-modblog is a drawing of a Furby. It is completely yellow, with three pairs of wings, three faces and many eyes on the wings. It also has a halo and legs like a chicken.
