Hello all - it has been a while, I've been unwell/exhausted for some time so I'm behind on sharing images from Shirahama's twitter. I hope to catch up soon.
This one is too important to wait with the ongoing genocide in Gaza, however. If you are not familiar with Handala (created by political cartoonist Naji al-Ali, depicted as the age he was at the time of the Nakba), he is a symbol of Palestine and its people, and their continued defiance of the genocide and imperalism against them. Many artists have been drawing their characters in the same pose as Handala (pictured below) - Shirahama shared her drawing of Coco yesterday (9th Jan) with the following link which calls for other cartoonists in Japan to join.
As many of us are not Japanese artists, I'd like to share with you something you can contribute: every 24 hours you can go to this site and click to generate donations for Palestine from the website sponsors. It takes seconds and requires no registration or personal details to be provided - please make this a part of your daily routine!

Fun Fact : While feeding at the bottom of the ocean, cownose rays create micro-habitats for tiny invertebrates!(≧∀≦)
Image 2 : Round Ray - Urobatis halleri
Fun Fact : To camouflage, Round Rays bury themselves in mud / sand with only their eyes poking & spiracles (breathing holes under the eyes) poking out. How adorable !(^。^)

Fun Fact : Spotted Eagle Rays can jump about six feet above the ocean's surface ! They also each have their own spot pattern, like a fingerprint!(*'▽'*)
