Yes. The litmus test has to be "all people are people, and equal to me and you." This includes Palestinian people and trans people: there is only one answer: *yes.*
All counterarguments are saying in effect "no, they're not people, and they are not equal to me and you." Nonstarter.
Here is my entry for the #JustLikeAwdry diorama challenge! My diorama is the scene in which Thomas is falling into the mine. I found it fitting since the Down The Mine pilot recently released and it was simple to do since I was short on spare time to work on it.

Full color photograph of a small light green saddle tank steam locomotive with a red chassis, four driving wheels, and red stripes on his boiler, with a yellow no. '6' outlined in red behind his cab and a black roof on top with yellow circle windows for the crew to see through. He is perched atop a black open wagon sitting on the railway tracks lettered "G W" for Great Western, as well as labels "54101" and "10 Tons". The locomotive is Percy from the Thomas the Tank Engine/Railway Series franchise, as he has a sad expression and is covered in dirt. Beside the wagon and next to the tracks is a pile of stones spilled from it. In front of the truck is a black suited gentleman, the Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt, scolding and pointing at Percy for his predicament. In the background is a small blue and gray lorry/truck next to a small warehouse. The sky is blue and the background shows many green hills and trees. The scene is based off the story 'Percy's Predicament' from the second season of the TV series, and the fourth story in book no. 16 "Branch Line Engines."

The camera is pulled out to show it is an approximately 12 inch by 12 inch diorama display in O gauge with a tape measurer showing its dimensions.
"You can stay there," the Fat Controller continued, "'til we are ready. Perhaps it'll teach you to be more careful with trucks."
'Percy sighed.'
Here is my entry for #JustLikeAwdry for 2025!
This is far from my best work as I quickly ran out of time, but I'm happy I was able to get it done at all.
“Thomas slept badly that night. He kept wondering what Gordon, Henry and James would say if they knew he had finished his journey on a lorry. He almost thought he could hear them laughing.”
Based on my favorite Chris Awdry book, my #JustLikeAwdry diorama finished *just* in time.
"Beg pardon, Sir! gasped Duck, "Excuse my intrusion."
"No, I won't," said the Barber crossly, "you've frightened my customers and spoilt my new paint. "I'll teach you." And he lathered Duck's face all over.
Poor Duck.
I'm very pleased with my entry this year.

My completed #JustLikeAwdry diorama Challenge for this year! After just finishing my quarry trucks I knew I had to do something from Tramway Engines and this seemed like the most fun!

A wild Merlin has appeared!
Unfortunately hornby only did one King Arthur in Malachite green so modded wartime black will have to suffice.

Something I’ve been working on recently: Barton the Aloof Engine! A new OC of mine, he’s based on a L&YR Class 23, and prints of the shell are now available!
Ive had some A.W.Dry transfers around for literally years so I finally slapped them on some spare wagons!
Can’t believe I made *another* Thomas

Fun fact: the Boston Tea Party was a protest against a tariff.
Thomas, was a tank engine, who lives on the Island of Sodor. After proving himself to the Fat Director, he was allowed to run the mainline with the other big engines.

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners.
Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious.
We cannot stay silent.
another piece to help satisfy my weird obsession with 'new harbor'
Just realized I forgot to post James here
So uh, here you go
Look what's just arrived!

Where’s the first pic from?
He’s big, he’s fast, he’s proud
So, I've been playing around with 009, and by playing I mean going to town on this Meridian Models Talyllyn kit. It's running on a modified N-drive chassis and was certainly a fun project from start to finish. A nice little diversion that totally won't lead to more 009 antics...
He’s a Really Useful Engine, you know?
