??? are you seeing what's happening in Berlin with the Palestine Congress??

[pbeltarts]

The Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner's Club announced in a joint report that the Israeli occupation forces arrested at least 20 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including former prisoners, between Monday evening and Tuesday morning. The report indicated that the arrests were concentrated in the Tulkarm governorate, while the rest of the arrests were distributed in the Beit Lahm, al-Khalil, Ramallah, Nablus, Tubas, and al-Quds governorates. The arrests were accompanied by widespread abuse and severe beatings, threats against the detainees and their families, as well as extensive vandalism and destruction in the homes of citizens and the homes of prisoners in the occupation prisons. According to the report, the number of arrests after the al-Aqsa storm rose to more than 8,165 in the West Bank, including those who were arrested from their homes, through military checkpoints, those who were forced to surrender under pressure, and those who were held hostage. The data related to the arrests includes those who the occupation kept in detention and those who were later released.

I'll never stop reminding people that the reason the Palestinian resistance took hostages on Oct 7th is because Israel kidnaps thousands of Palestinians and tortures, rapes, and starves them in prisons.

Alien lesbians enemies to lovers?? no cap??

Long time no art post, I have been in the trenches my guys. I wanna post more, I just never have the mental fortitude to LOL but I was revisiting these OCs I've had for awhile.

One's a shapeshifting intergallactic thief and conwoman, the other is a princess about to take the thrown of one of the major galaxy systems. Romantic comedy antics ensue

Just like with zionists, in every scary hypothetical lies a truth they wish for you to ignore.

London’s biggest screening party for the Eurovision Song Contest finals has been canceled, the venue Rio Cinema and organizer Eurovision Party London have said. “Following discussion with the organizers of Eurovision Party London, we have collectively decided not to screen the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest this year while Israel remains in the competition,” the Rio Cinema said in a statement on X. “The Eurovision Party London has been a beloved partner of The Rio Cinema for many years, and we will continue to work with them in the future. We firmly believe that the Eurovision Song Contest has the power to bring people together across the world, and when its core values of inclusivity, equality and universality are upheld, it can be a genuine force for good. With its own slogan in mind, we hope that we can all be United By Music again soon. We will continue to organize fundraising events for the charities we support, including Doctors Without Borders and Medical Aid for Palestine.”

I plan to return to posting this year, and my art may have a weird texture over it. I WILL be using Glaze and Nightshade for all of my work posted across social media. If they won't ask our consent, we take it with poison.

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

And it just happened—Nasser Hospital, the main hospital in southern Gaza, is completely out of service. Only 4 staff are left taking care of the patients, of whom there are hundreds. This leaves Palestinians curled up on the floor in agony waiting for medical help—only there aren’t even enough medical supplies to tend to them even with healthcare workers on hand.

Israel actually did it. They have blatantly targeted a hospital, abducted its healthcare workers, and left it entirely out of function. And nobody stopped them.

If you saw the photo of the child hanging in the rubble with her legs blown off, this is her.

Their names are Amouna and Suazanna Hasouna. May they rest in peace
