award-winning palestinian children's illustrator baraa awoor writes:
"what use is it to be an illustrator of children's books when the world has sentenced the children of your country to the death penalty, to vanish, to genocide?"
some of baraa's illustrations:
this is an illustration for youssef, whose mother is remembered running desperately into the hospital asking if anyone had seen a "small white boy with beautiful curly hair, his name is youssef," a description which was remembered by millions when she finally identified his body:
this illustration is for young omar, who was hugging his little brother and teaching him how to repeat the shahada after him (a prayer spoken by muslims before their death) as he lay on his hospital bed:
"we want a new year that doesn't kill us or our children, we want it a year without blood, without screaming, without pain, we want a new attempt to get our lives back, or something that resembled our life, even if life is a lie we still cling to it, return life to us—a new year's card unlike any other year:"
I am actually hella curious what languages do you speak :o
Polish, English and I can read in Cyrillic (absolutely useless since I can only read the letters not understand the words)

read below cutoff for dni and byi and tags :3
BYI: I swear, a lot. I struggle with proper social communication so remind me if I'm dominating a conversation to be quiet, or just correct me if I fuck up a boundary or something - It's never intentional and i feel like shit if its not corrected. My mood fluctuates a lot but ill do my best to respond. I'm really forgetful so i can forget things quite easily.
DNI: Proship/Comship, Zionist/Pro-Isreal, bigot of any kind (this INCLUDES fake-claiming people), are pro/are a pedo/zoo/incest/necrophilia ect, "Cringe Culture" mf, anti-neos and anti xeno (i struggle with them myself, doesn't make them less valid), terf.

#CREEP BLOCK THIS TAG THANKS (anything romantic is tagged this)
im in the process of redrawing an old design of mine i never finished and HELLO im sorry, these are only 5 months apart???
also hey can we talk about violent psychosis for a sec. cause i really appreciate all the talk surrounding psychosis positivity and stuff but a lot of it is "we're not all violent! sometimes hallucinations can be positive!" like sorry mine are not. im scary psychotic.
im "cant have anything that even remotely could be used as a weapon in the house" psychotic. im "if i miss my meds one day i have to go to the hospital for homicidal and suicidal thoughts that literally aren't my own thoughts but theyre controlling my actions" psychotic. im "im seeing horrors you cant even imagine to the point where i dont exist in the same world as you anymore" psychotic.
im not going to hurt you, i just need help. when im rocking in the corner talking to myself at 3am, remember that i am in a state of terror. im afraid for my life. i either genuinely believe everything is trying to kill me, and i only know one way to deal with it; or something is telling me to be violent or else it will kill me; or i have dissociated so hard that i autopilot myself to violence to try and wake myself up.
some of us are violent, and that's okay, because it has to be, because it's the truth. just get us help.
First ever humanoid walk cycle! X3 there are some things I feel I could make better but eh- too tired now lol.
I’ll keep them in mind for next time X3
you can trick yourself into practicing your drawing by inventing a character that you absolutely cannot resist putting into situations.
pixlgirl has been posting generated AI (targeting fandoms) without disclosing it, passing it off as their genuine art and has apparently scammed at least one person into ‘commissioning’ them. this is a public PSA so yall can block them, and not interact. please do not harass them!
it’s incredibly shitty to be disingenuous while posting AI but even shittier to scam people with it 🤢 stay diligent yall
reblog to cast level 5 spell: everyone who reads this gets a full night sleep
We need to bring back the bait fish because sometimes it feels like yall can't tell when someone is trolling you
Look at him! He's so cute and he knows that someone posting stupid, brain dead or offensive comments is just trying to get you mad, and you should make fun of them for that.
We as a website need him back in our lives
