A list of GFMs that need support. Most Palestinian GFMs are of families who have medical needs or disabled people. If you can't donate the 5$ limit you can pool funds with friends or community members. If that's not something you're able to do, repost!

i don't know of any recs but i know someone i can ask! i'll let you know 💜

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

The BDS movement is calling for people to pressure Microsoft with divestment and exclusion from contracts, whenever feasible. We also call for boycotting Microsoft’s gaming products, with the following options as tiers of engagement: Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription. Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft and Call of Duty – flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft. Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard).

And I've obviously been saying this a lot lately, but BDS does not expect anyone to drop everything made by Microsoft all at once. They pick very specific targets in order to get as wide a coalition as possible, and in the case of Xbox, even suggest different tiers of engagement.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

doodle. write poems you never show anyone. make banana bread. take pictures of birds. grow a plant. the goal isn’t to build job skills or “become a creative” it’s to just fool around and experience yourself and the world around you

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

-had references to his impeachment removed from Smithsonian
-fired the statistician in charge for bad economic numbers he didn’t like

That's just today. This is not yearly, not monthly, not weekly. This is Israel, today, committing more war crimes than any nation in the history of war crimes.

Digital illustration of a person sitting on their knees viewed from the side. Their body is human and has visible top surgery scars indicating they are trans and their head is that of a wolf. The head is tilted up with a large starburst in their mouth and their hands are folded in their lap. The background is dark and behind the person are large forget me not flowers and leaves.

i've been thinking the same thing lately

Fan art of the character The Curator from the game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is a very dimly lit scene, making the hollowed face blend seamlessly into the darkness of the rest of the scene. There's a tattered halo around it and some rose petals

A concept of a book cover with an illustration of a girl sitting at a bus stop, while casually tapping into the power from the power generator to charge her phone. In the background, there's a silhouette of giant teeth looming over her and the stop. At the top of the illustration is the title Void state written and underneath that by Anchimayen in smaller letters

Spider-Punk character leaping over a building, planting his hand on the edge of the structure to steer a bit and gently push himself into his next web swing. The background is vibrant with blues, yellows and orange suggesting it's during the golden hour of the day.

3 Illustrations of the same character, first front facing, a girl with pastel pink hair in a very baggy hoodie and coat. The coat has several different patterns on it. She wears stockings with two different color palettes; the left is dark with a tan bottom, and the other leg has red and white stripes. The one next to it is the same but turned sideways. The one next to that is the same character without a hoodie and coat, revealing her light pink crop-top and jeans

Today my team and I got told that we were made redundant, not gonna go into specifics.

But yeah, I'm still in shock. I guess I'm a freelancer for the foreseeable future? I will make my commission price sheet this weekend. If you want to work with me as artist lmk in DMs 🫶

Here's some of my work:

NIER AUTOMATA

A sulphur-crested cockatoo - a white parrot with a grey beak and two long tufts of yellow feathers at the back of its head - perched on a branch, looking over its shoulder at the camera. Its feathers on its back are dappled with shadow, and smaller branches and dangling green leaves frame the image.

A 2.5hr cockatoo study for this month's #BirdWhisperer

Some people just seem to want to eliminate all potential sources of discomfort, no matter how small or innocuous, from their lives. Fiction allows you to model experiencing big emotions in a safe controlled setting, and I just don't think any good comes of avoiding that to this degree
