Tumblr continues to be a deeply racist and overwhelmingly white website. Making fun of a Palestinian woman seeking help amid a genocide because your English speaking head is too far up your own ass to consider that other languages have words similar to yours but with entirely different meanings.

The name رحاب "Rehab" (The "H" is pronounced "Ḥ", not like the English "H" in the word rehabilitation. Here's what it sounds like.) is a very common feminine name in Arabic.

The least we can do for Rehab for having to put up with this nonsense is share her fundraiser and donate if possible. Rehab is dying from hunger.

Her campaign is vetter by @gazavetters and her number is #410 on the spreadsheet.

me: So then we take the liquified wood pulp, and dry it again, into these thin sheets. caveman: [confused, but trying to keep up] uh huh. me: And we take the graphite stick - it doesn't need to be wrapped in wood like this, but we like making them this way so you don't get graphite on your hands. And that's what we draw with. caveman: [eyes lighting up] Oohhh so you use the wood pulp sheets to paint on them, like hides? me: Exactly! And now, you could use this method to draw anything you can visualise with your mind's eye, but for the sake of this demonstration, let's draw a vision of a woman with features of an animal whose powers and traits she represents, and a figure that is stylised and exaggerated beyond what nature really allows. caveman: As wide as she is tall, with tits to match? me: Exactly. caveman: This is the only sensible use of this technology.

youre not “bad at art” you just need to find a character to latch onto to where you draw them 1 million times and you improve dramatically

i feel so bad for black panther party. imagine being the only truly revolutionary vanguard (in communist sense) organization usa ever had to end up destroyed by fbi with multiple members still in jail to this day and then the empire you were fighting against made an utterly reactionary marvel movie named after you with your ideas of black nationalism/liberation and pan africanism flipped upside down to resemble something more like zionism. so now modern people associate black panther with that movie instead of you. and also the biggest black capitalist popstar in the world performed at the country's main jingoistic event appropriating your imagery for the good of empire.
