‼️URGENT CALL FOR HELP‼️

A human rights volunteer in occupied West Bank has been arrested following the bulldozing of a Palestinian family home by Israeli forces.

She has been detained for entirely spurious reasons;

[The volunteer, who was standing peacefully at the site of the demolition, is being held on outrageous allegations of “publications supporting Hamas” “disturbing soldiers,” “discretion of state symbols,” and “supporting a terror organization”.]

Human rights monitors in the region are working under constant threat of sexual assault, being held at gunpoint and having their belongings destroyed. I know firsthand of volunteers who’ve been surrounded by IOF combat vehicles until 2am, and one who had her phone smashed.

Please share and follow the link below to put pressure on occupation authorities for her immediate release!

#palestine #west bank #human rights #uuuaaaghhh god everyone there is so brave but this is so scary #like the tales i’ve heard come out abt the way ppl are treated #for bandaging or feeding palestinians

East of the Sun, West of the Moon

I have a huge weak spot for this fairytale. I had a huge old illustrated children's book of this fairytale when I was little and it really stuck with me all these years. EotSWotM is a fairytale in the realm of Eros and Psyche spin offs, Beauty and the Beast also falls into this trope but EotSWotM follows the older myth a little more closely with the Prince/Beast character sleeping beside her each night in his human form. Do you know/remember this fairytale?

I struggled a lot with the depiction of the Northern Lights in this illustration. I tried a whole bunch of greens and purples but they felt too radical for the rest of the color palette. I'll probably want to revisit this linear again someday to push the illustration to it's best version of itself. Also yes, she does usually have black hair, the background simply absorbed it too much as is.

I am the artist! Do not post without permission & credit! Thank you! Come visit me over on: instagram.com/ellenartistic or tiktok: @ellenartistic

I like the whimsy of fairytales so much with all their strange rules that just are respected and personifications of things like the wind that noone questions and characters’s reactions that are either too drastic or too mild for the situation and never just right

Modern storytelling makes too much sense 😞

#just read the rest of the stories in the east of the sun west of the moon anthology can you tell #I also read about Egle queen of the serpents and kinda want to read an anthology of lithuanian tales
