The original pride flag and the sewing machine it was sewn on

Tiny kitty that can be made with 2 pipe cleaners. If you care. If you even care.

happy pride and remember to keep those of us in mind who don't have the liberty to celebrate or unite with a community

Really sorry I couldn't get anything out for pride just yet, I unfortunately have no ideas and am rather exhausted but please know I'm doing it as soon as I get some energy back

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

One of the formative experiences of my life was visiting Al-Khalil (aka Hebron) circa 2013 with a group of other diaspora Palestinians and seeing the “situation” there. What used to be a very active market in the heart of the old city was pretty much dead because settlers lived in the upper levels of the buildings; there was a metal net over the remaining shops to catch the trash that settlers and non-Palestinian (and I mean this as a legal status) visitors would dump out of their windows at the Palestinian population, but this couldn’t catch things like chemicals, rotten eggs, dirty water, etc. As a card-carrying (and I mean this literally) Palestinian, I was not allowed to enter the Jewish quarter, but a settler was allowed to come and scream at the Druzi soldier guarding the checkpoint at the time for letting us—I was with a group of people who mostly did not have Palestinian ID, but were ethnically Palestinian—into the city at all. I swear someone tried to hit us with a car. The Palestinian shopkeeper we talked to quickly got scared and told us we had to disperse. I have passed through clouds of pepper spray less tense than that.

Like, if you’re reading this as, say, a US American with no Palestinian heritage, you have more access to places under Israeli occupation as a visitor than I ever will, and my family heritage is traceable to Palestine only, nowhere else. I believe anyone should be able to live wherever they want, but I have family members living in the West Bank who haven’t been able to travel much past the cities they live in, e.g. to visit the Dead Sea or Jerusalem, despite living relatively close. Meanwhile, most people I know in the US, Jewish or not, could go visit any time they want without begging for permissions that might be denied to them arbitrarily. *most* of the USAmericans I know could visit the post-1948 borders easier than me.

My partner and my best friend are both Jewish, so they could immigrate to the land of my parents’/grandparents’/great-great grandparents’/etc’s birth with relative ease, despite not feeling any connection to the land; I could not. If I lived in the land of my parents’ birth, my partner would have to legally declare interest in me and we’d have to have a “cooling off” period in which we separate. This is very obviously wrong to us. The fact that I even have to argue its wrongness to anyone else is fucking ridiculous. If you’re even capable of excusing that injustice, then nothing you have to say is of any value to me and I’m not sorry about it. A different set of laws applies to me than the person who is reading this (unless you’re also Palestinian). That is the definition of apartheid and I have nothing to prove to anyone who refuses to believe it. Because it’s clear. You either choose to deny the truth or you don’t. I just hope my presence can elucidate that truth to others. I cannot emphasize enough that being Palestinian is not just an ethnic or national status for me, it is a LEGAL status. I am legally Palestinian. Are you legally ethnic in any way? If so, can you see how our circumstances align? Ask yourself that.

Please if you have the means consider buying an e-sim for Gaza! It’s very quick and easy!

dude im not applying to your job on squeamix dot com.

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

okay HAII there's not that many crazy pictures but here's some photographs of my cosplay w two outfits from my time at momocon!

had a good time, thank you to everyone i got to meet and it was nice meeting people!

thank u to andy for taking silly pics of me i love em

This was posted almost 24 hours ago but it's always good to remind people to buy eSims for Palestinians. Israelis always cuts off Gaza whenever it's committing its most heinous crimes

i've just come to realize, it's specifically Ultrakill art that makes me go "berserk" on myself, i have issues seeing a beautiful piece specifically of Ultrakill characters (mostly Gabriel and V1) without wanting to quite literally rip my own skin off as they just make me question my abilities in how i draw and portray these characters. all of the art i see of them is great and awesome, i just can't bring myself to appreciate it under so many layers or uncertainty or self doubt i feel. it really sucks and i wish i didn't feel this way, because it's utterly stupid on my end

hey so i dont really have a lot of time to waste here but my dog is really sick and we don't have the money to get her to the vet. Her name is Bailey, she just turned 9, and lately she has been trembling like a leaf. She won't eat, going to the bathroom seems to be hard, and she shakes constantly.

Bailey is one of the most important things in the world to me, and to my grandmother, the woman who raised me.

I need $600. My commissions are here, my Kofi is here, and my p4ypal is here.

now look at my scruff monster

Ibrahem has reached out to me over Instagram to share his fundraiser which as of today (April 30th) is only at $5,113 out of $50,000!
