I Feel Like A Grumpy Cat

“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch

What does the word Genocide mean to you?

For me... the word Sayfo comes to mind.

Sayfo is the word we use for the Assyrian genocide.

In 1915, my grandfather fled his village of Charbash near Urmia in Iran when he was just 11 years old.

The Ottoman Empire took the land from the Assyrians. The indigenous people native to Mesopotamia (where modern Iran, Iraq, and Turkey exist now).

Over 250,000 Assyrians were wiped out by the occupying Ottoman Empire.

Half of the entire population of the remaining indigenous people.

The rest fled for their lives.

My grandfather and grandmother, being two that, thankfully, made it to New York.

Now, Assyrians have no homeland. No country.

An entire ethnic group that  has been around for around 3,000 years almost completely wiped out of existence by an empire that no longer exists.

It's just so senseless. 

This painting I did of a woman in a Hijab. I have posters of them on my site. 

ssavaart.com

All of the proceeds from the sale of this poster is going to Doctors Without Borders.

I'll sign and ship each and every one of them. 

I know it's not much. It won't stop a genocide. 

But maybe... just maybe... 100 years from now someone's grandchild will be alive and they can tell the story of THEIR people... and what happened to them.

[ID: a meme animatic for The Magnus Archives season 4 using Snapcube's Shadow the Hedgehog audio. Jon bursts out of the coffin, followed by Daisy. Jon sputters and chokes. Then we abruptly cut to Martin silently staring at a tape recorder. After a long moment, he says, "Something just happened." End ID]

i'm finally remembering my roots. applying sonic fandub audio to everything i have ever loved

I like when you can tell what fandom someone's in by their url, then admire your whole dash as you realise it's filled to the brim with sad queer losers who like that one homoerotic friendship a bit too much.

Very close to exposing you all to the horrors
