For Everyone Here On My Tumblr I Need Y’all To Stop What You’re Doing And Really Lock In To The Genocide

Faces are hard enough to draw on their own, but stylizing them presents a bunch of new challenges. How much detail is too much? How can you get the features ‘right’ even though they’re not realistic? Here are some of my thoughts on the topic ✨

This is a snippet from a longer tutorial I made about drawing stylized faces! You can watch it on my Patreon ❤️

btw now is the best time to keep boycotting. the israeli economy has never been weaker. don't stop the protests or the demands for divestment. keep supporting organisations like the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Accountability Archive. ofc don't stop boosting and donating to Palestinians as Gaza is still uninhabitable.

enjoy this moment but the work has not ended

I have a folder called Time is a Flat Circle in which I collect evidence of humanity. Here is most of them.

Maaloul is a Palestinian village in Galilee. In 1948, it was destroyed by the Israeli armed forces and its people were expelled, so they headed either to Lebanon or to the neighboring town of Nazareth. Since then, the former residents of Maaloul were only allowed to visit it once a year on the anniversary of the occupation, so it became a tradition to organize a picnic in the same place on that day.

The people of Maaloul village fled from it under the fire of Zionist gangs in 1948. This is a wound that will not heal. The people of the wound cling to it because it may one day chart the way back. The villagers visit the ruins of their village once a year to celebrate over them. It is an amazing insistence on clinging to the land and its memory. We were able to carry our wounds in our bags because the wound prevents forgetting. That memory, which was written in blood, is more lasting than all the ruins and all the artificial countries.

if the devil saw israel he would hand over his throne.

DO NOT, AND I BEG OF YOU, DO NOT STAY SILENT. ISRAELI HAVE MASSACRED INNOCENT PALESTINIANS IN RAFAH, THEIR SAFE SPACE, THEIR CAMPS WHERE THEY WERE RESIDING. ITS A FUCKING MASSACRE. INNOCENT LIVES HAVE BEEN TAKEN, JUST LIKE THAT. MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN HAVE LOST THEIR LOVED ONES JUST LIKE THAT. AND IF YOURE STILL SILENT, SHAME ON YOU. SERIOUSLY.

people are calling what happened today in gaza “the flour massacre”

the flour massacre

these people just wanted to get food for their families, something as basic as flour, one of the things that the very core of humanity is built on, and israel used it as a trap to murder them in cold blood

evil is not enough of a word. there is not a word to describe what they are doing to palestine. they are bleeding her out, they are torturing her and crushing her and hoping that nothing is left to remember her by when they are done. how can anyone stand and watch what is being done with indifference? how can you watch this level of human suffering, this crime against life and feel nothing, do nothing

T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land was a Gloomy Prophecy about Gaza?!

Millions of people are preparing to celebrate the festive Adha Eid soon, while Gaza is drowning in death, depression, despair, and pain.

Thinking about my family in Gaza desperately trying to escape death on a daily basis and the magnitude of destruction inflicted on beautiful Gaza, the melancholic whispering of T. S. Eliot's famous lines from his masterpiece The Waste Land echo in my head and shatter my soul. They go:

"Unreal city I had not thought death had undone so many"

What could be more hellish than living in constant fear for your life? Why should having food and water be a daily struggle? How could the world be desensitized to this extent? How did my beautiful Gaza turn into a Wasteland on the watch of the world as a whole?!

I am desperately trying to relocate my family to Egypt temporarily, hopefully, until the war is over. Your help saves lives.
