Here's a short piece I wrote about Abraham and his funny habit of building altars near trees:

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Nagham. Nagham is a journalist (if you click on her chuffed you can find links to some of her stories at the bottom), a very dangerous profession in Gaza. She has three children Amir, 9, Amjad, 7 and Ayla, 3. She also has an injury to her leg

Yo @safety.bsky.app are you all just deleting every single account from Gaza on sight? Because this person hadn’t even heard of Bluesky when I started talking to her- made an account yesterday and made ONE POST. She’s a published journalist by the way.

Seagrass like Seaglass

A mermaid idly making her way through a field of seagrass, followed by her entourage of remora. A yellowed postcard found in the back of my grandfathers closet...

Magical scrapyard full of abandoned rune stones and broken magical objects and the woman running it is this exhausted dyke who basically is always smoking a pipe and she's extremely magic resistant which is why she can pick up all this shit that would burn off anybody else's skin and toss it

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

It's my birthday today! I'm 38. Have a couple pieces that I still like, from older versions of my current forever WIP. I haven't done much art this year, but I am enjoying working on stories behind the scenes; hoping 2026 is the year I can bring some of them to fruition.

and the dad goes "well, what do you want me to do about it!? i'd like to burn their house down, but i can't light the matches!"

This is how I do the crayon textures on my drawings- important to spot if its too fast- lay down flat, textureless colors slightly less saturated than what you'd normally choose. Then, on another layer, start coloring over the flat colors with textured brushes. I use a flat graphite brush!

My opinion is that when post colonial countries are like no longer studying languages from their colonizers; it should be replaced with studying languages from a neighboring country. Like wtf when the Philippines dropped Spanish we should've been learning Malay and Indigenous Ph languages in schools

Next time you see someone say France is like some arbiter of revolutionary justice, remind them that Frantz Fanon's Wretched of The Earth was banned in France during its occupation of Algeria

"In the name of revolution"

During the 2nd Intif@da this was a popular slogan to embroider on thobes as a form of resist@nce.

The first principle of this is a load-bearing English middle class belief that all mental disorders are faked, that anyone sick for longer than a week is malingering, that people who say they are allergic to things are lying for attention, and so on.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM
