i've been playing a lot of balatro lately, and at one point i turned on high contrast cards, had the thought of 'wow those are almost tmnt colors,' which then eventually led to '...i wonder how hard it is to mod this game'

turns out it's not too hard..!

i might've doomed myself here a little tho bc now i want a complete set of face cards.. which means drawing 8 more characters..

hey because i've been seeing a few of those bighuge boycott lists for palestine going around, reminder that the actual bds website is not calling for a boycott of so many companies.

bds activists are calling for a boycott of eight companies/products specifically:

hp (hewlett packard)

siemens

axa

puma

israeli fruits and vegetables (not a company—all produce labelled as coming from israel)

sodastream

ahava cosmetics

sabra

this list and the reason for the boycotts of these companies specifically is easily accessible on their website at this link.

also from their website, on the same page:

"What about those boycott lists with tens of products?

The global nature of today’s economy means that there are thousands of companies that have links to Israel and are complicit to various degrees in Israel’s violations of international law. However, for our movement to have real impact we need our consumer boycotts to be easy to explain, have wide appeal and the potential for success. That’s why globally, while we call for divestment from all companies implicated in Israel's human rights violations, we focus our boycott campaigns on a select few strategic targets. We also encourage the principle of context sensitivity, whereby activists in any given context decide what best to target and how, in line with BDS guidelines. There is a lot of information online claiming that some large companies give money to Israel, some of which turns out to be false. BDS has built a reputation for strictly adhering to established facts and producing the most accurate information."

[image description: two diagrams. the first shows white lines pointing to various red dots. there are only one or two lines pointing to each dot. some lines don't appear to be pointing at anything in particular, and some dots are not being pointed to. this diagram is labelled "Not targeted consumer boycott".

the second diagram shows many lines pointing at the same single dot. all of the lines are focused and they are completely surrounding the dot. this diagram is labelled, "A targeted consumer boycott focuses on a small number of companies". end description.]

this is all to say that while those 20-item-long boycott lists and their spread are usually well-intended, they are not helpful or necessary at this point in time. not buying from disney or walmart is not as effective and influential as refusing to buy products coming directly from stolen palestinian land. convincing people they need to remember a giant list of companies and products to not support will only intimidate them out of doing anything at all.

if you want to participate in the boycott, divestment, sanctions movement, please please PLEASE get your information from an organized group of activists who are involved, not (just) from stuff you see going around on twitter. the overview of the movement can be looked at on their website at this link. they also have resources about what else to do and how to get involved in your own community.

palestine WILL be free, and it will be free with focused organization.

edit: bds is also encouraging a boycott of carrefour, a company which is not included on the page about their other active boycotts. you can read about this boycott specifically on their website at this link.

in this twitter thread from october 23rd, which you can view at this link on a separate website, bds also discusses pressuring the following companies:

papa john's

mcdonald's

domino's

burger king

pizza hut

however, i can't find any reliable information outside of this twitter thread where they call for a strategic, targeted boycott of these companies. that doesn't necessarily mean not to boycott these companies too, but right now, what they are advocating most is the continued targeting of the nine companies they are specifically calling for to be boycotted.

hi, I’m luc! I am a trans black artist and I am currently in a bit of a financial crisis without any other options, so I have decided to open a gfm. The full post on gofundme shares more in depth information about my situation but basically:

I have been struggling to provide for myself and my disabled mother with my art for a long time. I am unable to consistently make ends meet for basic needs. I am in a very bad condition right now & struggling to secure and afford healthcare as well means that I’ve been simply unable to continue keeping up with everything through my art. Our housing situation has been insecure for a while and we are afraid we are going to lose our home again.

I’m fundraising in the hopes to keep my household afloat for the time being, as well as to help myself get proper treatment.

Beyond just not being able to support myself with my art right now, being unable to do the thing i love most has been very painful for me. A lot of why I have stopped posting as much art lately is that I have been struggling like this for a very long time. I want to be able to survive so that I can keep drawing. If sharing my work has made you happy in the past, it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to help me and my family in any way, even just by sharing this.

other places you can pitch in if you prefer are:
