never forget mcdonald's flag at guantanamo bay flying half mast for madeline albright one of the architects of the iraq war. us empire heritage moment

I want to paint mermaids like that and make art that has real spirit again :( when can I finally go home to myself and how

沖縄の花・ハイビスカス

i just need to have more rules for myself. more rules and limits. surely that will help me

the slow way is the fastest way

Ok today I do more laundry and make a case with the registrars office and do my painting of lemons n mugs n cranes n ummm I’ll be back soon hold on

i just hope that no person anywhere in the world at any point in the future has to go through what mothers in gaza went through these past few months.

like it was so insane. women were giving birth without medical aid and having c-sections without anaesthesia while being malnourished and unable to properly provide food and warmth to their newborns. they couldn't produce milk and couldn't afford baby formula. hell, at a certain point finding baby formula was impossible in certain areas of gaza. and there was the constant fear of death hanging over their heads.

there were hopes that after the ceasefire things would improve for these babies and their mothers. that their quality of life would improve. but now that there are chances that israel won't continue with the ceasefire, we need to support these mothers and infants, now more than ever.

please please consider helping my friend suad, who has a little baby boy who suffers from respiratory problems. she just wants to ensure her son's well being. baby khaled is around 8 months old. her fundraiser has been verified (#279).

please help suad and her baby
