Crochet Party People Pullover Sweater
I completed this Party People Crochet Sweater in just 2 days. I did the size small so that I can show you a tutorial. The pattern is an easy-to-follow concept using spaces between groups of 2 half-double crochets. During the prep work, I thought, why don’t we see this more with baby blankets being tighter in stitches? Just food for thought.
I completed the bottom and sleeve bands at stitch night…

Hind is constantly tweeting about being overwhelmed and hopeless. Bisan is sharing videos of children dying--literally someone trying to give a child chest compressions before giving up, the camera lingering on the child's limp, dead body. Today, Motaz posted video of his bombed out neighborhood--footage of a hand that does not end in an arm but ends in frayed and tattered meat. His neighborhood lost 45 people, his cousin also died.
His last tweet, 16 minutes ago, is him in the rain, the caption begs for the genocide to stop. "Please god, stop this."
Things have been dire and are getting more bleak. Using these people as inspiration porn--repeated lines of "Palestinians haven't lost hope, so we shouldn't other"--grows useless as it is clear it is very hard for them to manage hope. Hind has flat out admitted to being overwhelmed and losing feeling. The dead child, whose face was drenched in blood, cannot hope. It is not their fault, it isn't a matter of them not trying enough. It is a sign of Israel's cruelty.
How bad it is gotten--how much worse it is getting as Israel faces little resistance from the international community, as lack of food and medical care and sanitation spreads disease, how much the rain and cold sucks out the capacity to do anything other than survive and stress--means we should push harder. Fueled by righteous fury at injustice and needless suffering, not human beings turned into mascots, we must push and pull things harder until the system of suffering breaks.
I don't even know what that means. Every call to action feels so pathetically weak in the wake of all of this. But we must figure out what pushing harder means and fast.
Every day spent doing nothing or the bare minimum is more lives lost, more hope lost.

christ sometimes I just wanna. steal a time machine & go back & sit down next to my 9-year-old self and just like. let them pull out their pokemon card binder & gush about their holographic gyarados or whatever. I'd just smile & ask questions about motherfukcing bulbasaur & tell my kid self that I thought they were a neat person, & someday they'd find other people who thought so too.
like i'm a grown adult who honestly finds most kids stuff boring, but. damn if i could go back & hang out with my baby self & listen to them ramble...just so they knew someone was listening. i would in a heartbeat. thinking about u kid

Love the part where they not only reposted art without attribution (here is the artist, btw) but also conspicuously left out Korra in favor of Szeto, even though this series of works not only does have a Korra entry but has multiple Korra entries

anyway also HUGE round of applause to all the theorists and recappers and noticers who were all integral to making qbbh’s fallen angel lore so fucking incredible. shit was noticed and theorized about and pulled together as a community. The muffin bastard could say “issac” and SECONDS later id see people going “of course he knew issac newton on a first name basis.” or a brief mention of Vesuvius that i never even saw because people were already recognizing the History he’s got with loving and losing people. live bloggers and skin analysts and history diggers and people who were all three. fucking hats off kings it was incredible to watch this man die with you all. that ending would not have nearly been as satisfying as it was if not for the community effort put in to learning his secrets
