1 am thinking abt the triassic cuddle once again and getting sad. The Thrinaxodon was in a torpor and wouldn’t have woken up before it drowned in the rain. The Broomistega was badly injured and dying. Neither of them ever actually knew each other but their last moments are curled up together and immortalized in stone Hggggm
platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine
okay so. There's this poem I started making in 2019 and only just finished this year. And I was thinking about René Magritte paintings. So here we are I suppose
The poem is made of chopped-up lyrics from the following songs:
•••
"First Love/Late Spring" Mitski • "No Children" The Mountain Goats • "Fly In My Room" Kerrin Connolly • "No Surprises" Radiohead • "Hope" ROAR • "The Comfort of a Laugh Track" ROAR • "Emotional Vagrant" The Scary Jokes • "Little Dark Age" MGMT • "How I Survived Bobby Mackey's Personal Hell" Lincoln • "Televised" HUNNY • "Bets Against the Void" The Scary Jokes • "Life on Mars?" David Bowie • "Fluorescent Adolescent" Arctic Monkeys • "Love, Me Normally" Will Wood • "Catabolic Seed" The Scary Jokes • "Puzzle Pieces" Saint Motel
I remember when my high school history teacher once said (a long time ago, I'm old) that the US bombed and destroyed sites [some not even fully explored] of Ancient Mesopotamia (which is now mostly centred around modern-day Iraq), and that everything they did/were doing is unconscionable. For those who don't know Ancient Mesopotamia is considered to be the birthplace of writing, is where the world's first cities were developed (among many other things, of course). I couldn't help but think of this, and it's just frustrating and heartbreaking to see.
These violent imperialistic and settler regimes have nothing but erasure and obliteration of communities in their minds because that is what they want -to eradicate and dehumanize the spaces they are invading/striking. There is NEVER a coincidence of doing something as heinous as this. These spaces are sacred and important parts of civilizations in so many ways. Mercilessly bombing, bulldozing through, and breaking them down speaks volumes about the aggressors. The IOF must be stopped. The occupation must end.
Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.
Lord I see what you have done for others. Get me out of this state !
Me and my boyfriend (butch) are finally leaving Texas for Washington in June, we have everything planned out but we desperately need funding to secure housing once we get up there, and money for the 3000 mile drive from here to there
