Hey guys!! I need to get a tetanus vaccine as a precaution. Had been walking along a flooded area and cut my feet on something. Lately, have not been getting as much work online- currently have three jobs, but are all unstable. I priced my comms as low as possible, but it's not a livable wage for me as with my comms only priced at 30 usd each (extremely difficult to get clients if I price higher

),I can usually only draw 10-15 a month.. I am the sole caretaker and the only working person in a family of 5- my mom is disabled due to being brain dead for a few hours after having sepsis from giving birth to my sister. She is a full time wheelchair user. My dad is chronically ill, and my sister who I have been a "parent" to is autistic with a low frustration threshold..! I'm doing the best I can..! If you guys could please pick up a print, or subscribe to my patreon (I have more than 300 exclusive drawings up there!) or buy the last two slots of commissions I have or even just send a tip.. it would mean the world to me. Ideally I'd love to have the vaccine by Friday..! Sorry and thank you again.

Ok gotta talk about it.

As a Jewish historian, I fucking hate Israel in ways most probably will never be able to comprehend. I'm going to try and explain it anyways. The central creation myth of Israel is that it is Jewish, and then consequently, that Israel is a part of Jewishness. Its easy to simply state this is false, but fully comprehending this and putting it into practice in thought and deed seems rare to me.

The evil at the heart of this violence predates the recent acceleration of genocide. Israel is a colony, and more than that, an antisemitic fraud itself. After WW2, when Israel was being founded, the Jews of Europe generally did not wave goodbye to their neighbors and head to the promised land. Many were expelled from their homes. Zionism itself, as an action, was a false choice at the time. A mere excuse to place an ally in the middle east, and an excuse to complete the expulsion and destruction of the European Jew. The Zionist Jew is more than complicit in this, they actively seek the destruction and assimilation of all other Jews.

Many fail to realize, and largely because of Israel, that Jews are not inherently white, Ashkenazi, European-descended people. Our faith and culture has an immense variety that is spread all across the globe. Jewishness, in population and volume of culture, exists more so outside of Israel than within it. Israel is for a very specific kind of Jew. The kind that lets Yiddish die, that attaches themselves to European things, that makes themselves and their practices as white as possible.

And they have the nerve, the fucking belligerent GALL, to frame themselves as the necessary saviors of our people. To the Zionist, questioning Israel is to question Jewishness itself. They bake adoration for the colonial machine into their very prayers, and push them on us even as children. To *not* oppress, to *not* kill, to *not* genocide, is to invite death. This is the core of fascistic thought, of course. "Kill them before they kill us." And they KNOW this too, they really do. The truth of that irony does not matter, because as is true for all fascists, the truth itself does not matter to them. They wanted this, they wanted this even before the British saw it in their best interest to give them the land. Any excuse to RETVRN, as the neo-nazis say of Rome, or the German Empire, or whatever the fuck stupid country they want to poorly animate the corpse of. Some select Zionists even *sided with the fucking Nazis* in agreement they should abandon Europe to colonize Palestine. (Haavara Agreement)

My people have proved time and time and time again you don't need a nation state to have an enduring culture. We have protected ourselves for thousands of years without the help of these spiteful, doom-saying maniacs. I was going to post something like this on Passover, but that would be hypocritical. The state of Israel doesn't actually have shit to do with Jewishness. שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְה Vi tsu derleb ikh im shoyn tsu bagrobn. [my best translation] Hear Israel (beginning of a prayer in Hebrew) I should outlive him long enough to bury him. (an old Yiddish curse)

Free Palestine. Donate what you can, they need it right now.

I sent out all 16 August commissions (save for three that's taking a bit longer, two cowboy portraits and the last august comm, so technically 16 done out of 19 ordered), and some of September commissions. Please come check your emails / spam folders, as I've had some folk I haven't heard back from / I sometimes end up in people's spam folders. Feel free to message me if you guys wanna check in status of commissions- but also am asking for leniency and time due to the passing of my aunt, as me and my disabled mother are travelling for 6 hours every other day to her very long wake. Thank you! Also if you want an early slot for commissions, feel free to dm me as well

cant believe there aren't any rabbits native to the philippines / brought in prior to western colonialism. Apparently, they were introduced here by americans during the US occupation to try and alleviate the famine that came with their occupation- it failed, because the majority of filipinos thought the rabbits were too cute to eat and just kept them as pets.. Would love more info on this though, I just cant believe rabbits werent brought in earlier by the chinese or smth

Namrasit (my oc) been in prison for all his teen years to his late twenties. But even before that. He grew up in a priory of unkind nuns and an atelier that focused on thanatology. He's been their little lab rat. His only purpose was to be born in service of others. Ironically, prison and indentured antique dealing was a sort of liberation for him. He has food whenever he pleases. He has a steady supply of journals and color pencils. And he has two very strange friends. And an insane apprentice whose crush on him manifests as as always asking Namrasit to play backgammon and the royal game of ur with him. Like Penelope when she entered society for the first time. Every oc I've ever had. Has been inspired from all the disabled people put in Disappointments rooms. All the weird people who got lobotomised. You can say. The trans man experience, even. When you are required to always be ashamed. Like a woman. And you are considered doomed to be pathologically evil. Like a man.
