I Doodled A Bunch Of Dumb Memes For Funnies And Also To Try And Get My Bearings.

Nicolò di Genova - Sword

Today I, a history nerd and relative newbie to the TOG fandom, want to talk about Nicky’s sword. Warning: This post is long.

(ik there are some history-centric TOG pages out there that may have covered this much better than I will, so feel free to leave a link!)

Okay, so just to clarify, we are talking about this thing:

We’ve been afforded more time than any lovers I can name. And still, every moment we scrape together feels precious.

I love lino, too! the cutting feels kind of meditative to me

I'm done with the black part now but it doesn‘t really work with the size I chose (i went way too small) I'll still post it when I get around to printing it but I will also be making a bigger version because frankly they (and this sketch) deserve better

(also thank you! I'm so ready to be done with my exams) :)

the sketch I made for a lino cut I'm working on, I'm not sure about the colours yet though

also additionally, sth I played around with yesterday:

Fletcher said five trucks of aid went into Gaza yesterday, but described this as a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for the population’s needs. He said the aid lorries, which contain baby food and nutrition, are technically in Gaza but have not reached civilians as they are just on the other side of the border.

(Full update)

Five trucks had entered Gaza for the first time in 3 months. This compares to 500 trucks every day before October 2023. There are miles of loaded trucks that Israel continue to block from entering besieged Gaza.

Make no mistake, Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against 2 million people.

When I came across this horrific headline, I immediately thought of my friend @amalashournew, who is trapped in Gaza and has been navigating this genocide with her toddler. Thanks to your donations to Amal’s campaign, she has managed to provide for her daughter, but prices of what little food remains in Gaza are now higher than anytime before, which makes this time far more critical for donations and shares than ever before.

Please consider donating and sharing. Despite the magnitude of this genocide, don’t lose hope. Anything helps.

"empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes" shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper

for the "posting isn't activism" of the past few weeks, from the west bank:

The translation is accurate, he is talking about how israeli soldiers at (illegal) West Bank checkpoints have been checking Palestinians' phones for any social media posts about Gaza. They checked one man's phone and when they couldn't find anything, checked his stories archive on his instagram. When they found a post about Gaza they beat him savagely until they broke his nose and teeth, and then filmed it and took pictures and uploaded those to his own instagram story. they also livestreamed the whole thing themselves (he believes) on TikTok.

You're loved, you fool.

M*A*S*H - S06E01 "Fade Out, Fade In"

The last days of the petition against conversion therapy are FASCINATING to watch. I have been following it pretty closely for almost a year now, and the progress was, above all, steady. There was this jump when some algorithm in Finland picked it up, but even that was local.

And now, everyone is panicking.

Which really shows.

These past three or four days, multiple countries have reached the threshold. Even more notably, the number of signatures in total, the ones that we need to get one million of, are growing rapidly. There are only 400'000 signatures missing. Two days ago, it was closer to 600'000.

You can see the progress here:
