I don't have the patience to write a post now. In fact I don't know what the fuck I should write after nineteen months of genocide. Everyday, these past few days I have been reading that "Israel" is bombing and killing more and more people- that they are targeting ambulances and children. My friends in Gaza are so scared. I feel helpless and I am disgusted by it, because wtf am I feeling helpless about, when I am not facing the bombs and I am not starving in this summer heat?
Last night I was talking to Siraj Abudayeh. Siraj is not doing well- he is sad and he feels hopeless and this is someone whom in the short time I have known, has always chosen to be optimistic about the future where he along with his community, rebuilds Gaza. But right now he cannot think of any of it, and this is because the free world, the international order, everything has proven itself to be nothing but a lie. Last night we didn't talk about the future, we didn't talk about the campaign. Instead Siraj has urged everyone to pray for Gaza. So I want you to keep Siraj in your thoughts, pray for him and his family's safety. And I also want you all to believe that Siraj will one day see a Free Palestine. That the funds he is collecting would go into rebuilding his life. So please donate. And boost. Don't let this fundraiser lag behind.
little update #3 on my kaysanova lino cut:
[here you can find my first and second update, as well as my initial post with the sketch]
I didn’t have a lot of time to work on this recently, but I’m almost entirely done with the black layer (only the border around them needs to go) I still wanted to give an update since it’s been a while
I changed the hilt of nicky’s sword because with this bigger version I went for a more realistic look for the weapons (not realistic just more realistic) and the shape of the hilt ended up looking weird but I’m not entirely happy with it now either. idk
I should be able to print this next week but maybe I’ll also do it tomorrow?? (and yes I am aware that this project is a continuous string of I’ll-do-it-next-weeks haha but maaayyybe this time I’m right) and if I feel like it I’ll also do the coloured layers (or at least one of them)
I also already have an idea for my next big project but that one is more complicated (and time consuming) than the current one and also not within the ballpark of things I’m capable of and I also really should work on some stuff that isn’t fanart
so we’ll see if I’ll actually go ahead with it
obsessed with how much time Trapper spends staring dead into Hawkeye's eyes in private to avoid doing anything Incriminatingly Homosexual and then gives him a full-on cock check in the extremely public mess tent
I feel like I'm going insane. Multiple massacres in Gaza right now and no one is paying attention.

"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’m going to start posting some of my unfinished work/discarded sketches, so here’s the first:
Please if you have the means consider buying an e-sim for Gaza! It’s very quick and easy!

"empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes" shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper
