The tribes of Tumblr appeared to worship Apollo as their primary patron deity, most often under the epithet Apollo Spairahemon ("Apollo the Ball-Thrower") as a god of prophecy and sport. His name was typically invoked to celebrate a user blessed with uncommon prescience. Moments of prophecy were considered highly sacred and were often recorded, and such texts are sometimes accompanied by an artistic depiction of the god — either his traditional masculine image or, unusually, in the form of a young woman, which appears to have been an earlier style before a conservative shift toward more conventional iconography — preparing to cast a round rubber ball that our scholars believe was used in the sport known as "dodge ball". Much as other cults regarded his arrows as bringers of disease and health, this community believed that being struck by this ball would bestow prophetic visions.

Some icons are reproduced below:

An earlier depiction (c. 2020) of Apollo as a girl clad in a simple tunic and playing with other children. Figures are smiling and the image is brightly colored, indicating a celebratory outlook toward knowledge of the future.

A later piece (c. 2022) that resembles the traditional appearance of Apollo. References to childhood and play are omitted, and the god carries a more frightening aspect; perhaps this icon represented grim omens rather than good tidings.

Nader is still young but due to Israel's attacks on Gaza has had opportunities taken away from him that most kids would take for granted. At night he has to hear bombings, and his family currently lives in a tent. Access to food and water is difficult.

This campaign is 47% to its goal and donations have stagnated, so share this post and donate if you can.

“How can we take down this flag and erase the honor of those proud Americans-”

Confederates weren’t Americans. They were actual, honest-to-god Not Americans; that was the whole fucking point of the Civil War. They were a bunch of people who collectively said “fuck America” and then spent years desperately fighting in order to not be Americans anymore. Flying the Confederate flag doesn’t honor Americans, it honors Confederates, and they don’t exist anymore because they lost the war, so there is no goddamn point to this flag ever at all. Right-wing folks really love to talk about “anti-American sentiments” and “treason” until it comes to the (white) people who actually did commit treason and were anti-American in every sense of the word.

There is no need to be hard on yourself. Instead, think of the things you did accomplish. You managed to knock out a huge 2 parter with a mind blowing amount of detail and attention to lighting. You also survived the Halloween boop war.

True lol

@mariampoetry got in touch with Yumna and I cannot express how happy she was not only because of the donations, but that you all decided to support her work as an artist in Gaza! She told us that more than anything, the news that we all appreciated her work specifically was literally THE BEST news she recieved since the start of the genocide.

Something I cannot emphasize enough as an artist myself (as well as my friend Mariam) is that when you're recognized and supported for your work it is one of the best feelings in the world. To know you all supported Reem and now Yumna... it's so so amazing.

Yumna wanted to let you guys know, she hopes that your donations and support are returned back to you all ten fold. This good news made her day, to know that there are people out there that support her for who she is as an artist.

Remember we only have a few more hours to raise $1000 USD. Right now we are at $552 USD. We can't wait more than a week for each artist as the need for funds is incredibly dire and time sensitive. Let's get to our goal before our next artist!

Please share Yumna's work as much as you can and remind people that the people of Gaza have dreams and talents more than you can imagine.

Please, please, look at my donation campaign and help me. I have newborn children and my son Ahmed needs treatment. He is a heart patient and suffers from two holes in the heart. He needs help and treatment. We do not have money and we are stuck in Egypt because of the Gaza war. My wife and I lost my jobs and there is no source of income. I would like you to help. To care for my children and provide the necessary treatment for my child Ahmed, please donate even a little thing to save my child’s life

After Israel asked the U.S. to put pressure on South Africa to drop its genocide case at the ICJ, the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) will continue and South Africa will file a memorial next month (October 2024)

“South Africa intends to provide facts and evidence to prove that Israel is committing the crime of genocide in Palestine."

South Africa is not backing down.

Israel is kidnapping Palestinian children.

Forcible transfer of children is a war crime and the fifth pillar of genocide under the Genocide Convention. Knowing what they do to children on a regular basis, I am horrified.
