I'm afraid I've gotten stuck doing stuff in this style.

My friends are convinced I'm insane for the % at which I zoom in so I wanted to take a census: Digital artists, how closely do you typically zoom in on your work?

The thing is... Israel admitted to this from the very beginning.

They said the confessions were obtained through 'interrogation' in the Shin Bet aka torture (Shin Bet is where they like to torture Palestinian prisoners for intel) so every country that cut funding to the UNRWA knew from the beginning that Israel was using false forced statements.

The famine in Gaza is partly due to this. Never forget that.

A friend pointed out that the dagger was a little bamboo-coded so I'm leaning in that direction for the scabbard.

Back to trying to keep my various social media things active, but until I can get Glaze/Nightshade figured out it's mostly going to be WIPs I'm trying to get back into Generic Fantasy Stuffᵀᴹ but I am failing to beat the Southeast Asian allegations. I keep wanting to add details that would feel more at home on SEAsian weapons. Ah well- you draw what you know, after all.

A shot through the heart

not that either is a good thing but there is a small cosmic sort of irony to appreciate in the way that the russian invasion of ukraine and the most recent nakba happened so close together and how they through comparison made it undeniably clear how much the definition of war crime and genocide and atrocity &etc depends on the geopolitical interests of the imperial core

this is the sword of good fortune, may it aid you in your travels. 

People in the North of Gaza are being starved and humanitarian aid is not allowed to reach them. Doctors have requested #FeedNorthGaza to be shared so the voices in North Gaza are heard.

From the river to the sea, Palestine MUST be free.

Hello Everyone!

Today is the first day of the weeklong strike for a ceasefire in Gaza.

I have realized that I do not think the message has spread far, at least on this website. This might be due to the lack of internet in Gaza, it has been down for days. Not much can be said by the citizens there, it's like some people forgot about them. I encourage all of you to share this post, or make your own, letting everyone know about this strike. This is something that should transcend the aesthetic of your blog. My blog was a gimmick blog, but for this week, it is a blog for spreading information and awareness.

Bisan Odwa (@wizard_bisan1 on instagram) has called for this strike. She is a journalist from Gaza, who has been experiencing this horrid violence for 15 weeks. 107 days. 2568 hours.

These were the images she posted, calling for this strike:

Reblog this, share this. Do not stop until every supporter of Gaza knows what we must do this week.

Free Palestine, Free Gaza, Ceasefire now!

Moonset 🌙✨🌟

Starting out the new year by coming down with bad cold haha...🥲

Remembering an old Sheikh Hamza Yusuf lecture - he recalled a Christian theologist who had philosophised that all the 7 deadly sins were perversions of virtues - for example if we think of wrath, we must remember that anger is absolutely necessary if we want to establish social justice.

To add, Dr Elmasri is a Psychiatrist in Gaza ❤️ - seeing his hurt and anger expressed on social media is heartbreaking but it reminds me that the correct response to oppression is anger.

The anger of Palestinians is righteous and just. Some may even say it is sacred.

on the internet it's been harder for the US to lock in a pro-israel narrative among US citizens but watching news on the tv it's like an insane level of pro-israel propaganda, if you're in the US and getting news from mainstream TV channels it's an alternate reality. and all news channels not just fox news or whatever, CNN is just as bad

sure! maybe the u.s. lied about and/or caused mass death in japan, china, korea, the ussr, guatemala, indonesia, cuba, congo, peru, laos, vietnam, cambodia, grenada, lebanon, libya, el salvador, nicaragua, iran, panama, iraq, kuwait, somalia, bosnia, sudan, afghanistan, pakistan, bulgaria, macedonia, bahamas, cuba again, south africa, bolivia, marshall islands, greece, portugal, philippines, ecuador, albania, argentina, angola, jamaica, indonesia, seychelles, haiti, guyana, chad, thailand, algeria, brazil, dominican republic, ghana, mexico, uruguay, colombia, chile, russia, venezuela, yugoslavia, palestine, yemen, cuba again, the u.s. itself........ but! ....and hear me out here..... maybe this time they're telling the truth & they really have the interests of people and democracy at heart :)

🇵🇸🍉 Free Palestine 🍉🇵🇸

seeing lots of people mad at the idea that there is an association of colonizer = bad

very weird that the people who agree with Zionism as a political philosophy are also trying to rehabilitate colonization into a good thing!

I wonder why that could be! If Zionism is just simply about Indigenous self-determination as they claim, why are they so concerned with making sure people stop saying colonizers/colonization are bad things? I can't quite figure it out lol

getting incredibly tired of westerners responding to firsthand accounts shared by palestinians in gaza with the reflexive demand to see a "source"

because by source, they always mean a western news report

never mind, of course, that international journalists are banned from entering gaza; the word of the western journalist, writing in passive voice about a genocide 6000 miles away, is still deemed more 'reliable' than the firsthand accounts shared by the victims living through that same genocide

a palestinian shares a video of an IOF solider brutalizing civilians in gaza? not good enough; they still need a ''source.'' the video in question was posted by a palestinian journalist? okay cool, but does someone have a more reliable source? can we get a word in from the esteemed fact-checkers over at the new york crimes, or the iraq-has-wmds-post? we just don't want to spread misinformation...

violent resistance to violent oppression wouldnt exist if there was no violent oppression in the first place. casualties of violent resistance to violent oppression are ultimately the sole blame of the violent oppressor

Read the entire thread here

To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.

And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.

Saint Porphyrius Church, built in 1150 and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.

It's not an accident.

Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.

Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.

It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.

Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.

But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.

There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.

Traditions they've carried for centuries.

So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.

Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.
