This Was Supposed To Be A "How About We Stop Talking For A Little While" Meme Redraw Until I Remembered

A blogger in gaza, Amal alhenawi, shared a story yesterday explaining how the past few days have been. Of course there are no words to describe exactly how it is to live under constant bombardment.

She said that she misses sleeping alone in her room, instead of having to share a room with other 10 people. She said she feels guilty when she secretly admits she's terrified of death and that she wants to live. No internet, no food, sometimes when they get lucky each member of her family gets one loaf of bread for the day, other days there might not be anything to eat. She mentioned how everybody celebrated when her brother came back with water, but it tasted weird, turns out it was undrinkable but it was the only solution they had.

What horrified me the most, is when she talked about their neighbors building getting bombed by israeli air strikes. And how paramedics as well as civilian defense came to the scene only to leave minutes later. In their own words: "this building is four floors. We have no equipment to dig through or get anyone out." So they had to leave. People from the neighborhood started digging with their own hands, they could hear some people alive underneath, but no one could get out.

Amal talks about her two cousins who visited her and they're little kids who don't talk anymore. She said they saw their friend and neighbor dead, with his head sperated from his body, the trauma was too severe for them to process.

Amal wants to live. She came to gaza to celebrate her brother's wedding. Who was planning on leaving for his honeymoon before the genocide started.

Each person of gaza has a story, a life worth living. So we must end this genocide. Do everything you can, do not stop and do not get used to it. Annihilating an entire city is not normal and should never be.

(I already did Megaera and Thanatos)

EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS NOW

murderous, doomed

Me, sitting in class with 3 hours of sleep: I need to Hades 2 characters with different hairstyles

Sketch(es) vs final!

I think the dehumanization of Arabs has reached its pinnacle, the image of the fundamentalist terrorist who's unable to rough out one singular rational thought or emotion in the middle of his blind religious fervor won over the reality of their diverse and rich human existence

And it wasn't an accident, an unexpected development that no one saw coming, no. This is a plan carried out with purpose, a project. It's in books, in academia, on TV, in the things people say, jokes, complaints, stereotypes, movies, paintings, cop shows, romcoms, cartoons. its not even enough to say it started back in 2001, its a centuries long colonial, and then imperialist, project

This film is projected over an entire population, composed of millions, from babies to elderly, from Morocco to Afghanistan, to hide their real form and make the western citizen feel indifferent, or even ecstatic, when exposed to the indiscriminate killings of these people.

Hades 2 I need you
