Musca The Fly Joins The Eternal Ant War

the met gala is tonight, and i know a lot of us are excited for it. and why not, it's a fun event! but while we're here, please spare some thought for the people of palestine as well. they don't have a platform nearly as big as the met gala does, but they need it more desperately and they need it urgently.

i don't know if any celebrity at the gala is going to mention palestine or speak out for them. but we don't need to wait for a celebrity to show support or tell us what to do. we have power too. every single one of us here has a voice, and the power to uplift others using that voice. we don't need one person to donate thousands. but even if a hundred people donated $5 each that's $500 put towards helping a family survive. and that means more to gazans than i can say.

if you can afford it, please donate to anyone from @gazavetters's spreadsheet (here). if you're uncertain or cannot choose, then please consider:

my friend ibrahim @aburakhiaibrahim (vet | paypal | gfm)

the isnad foundation @isnaddfoundation which provides gazan students with a safe space to study and continue their education (vet | chuffed)

my friend mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 who is the founder of isnad (paypal | gfm)

if you cannot donate, please reblog so that the post can reach someone who can. thank you.

So do you think anybody is going acknowledge that Hind Rajab should have been celebrating her 7th birthday today with her family? Do you think anybody is going to acknowledge that?

Community Trash #7

2024-2025

Empty paint tubes and acrylic paint on plywood

For my 'Community Trash' series, I collect discarded or unwanted materials from friends, family, and community members: too-small offcuts and scraps, dried-out or contaminated paint, canvases lumpy with failed attempts, boxes laden with the dust and guilt of abandoned hobbies. Repurposing this creative trash reduces both my effect on the climate and the clutter in my friends' homes.

For Community Trash #7, I collected empty and dried-out paint tubes -- my own, my friends', and strangers' -- over about a one-year period.
