Illustration by Leonardo Santamaria Prof. Sam Lehman-Wilzig: Israel 2023 is Beating Back 1984 The protesters’ recent (temporary) “victory” i.e., halting the Judicial Reform legislative process, was accompanied by another sort of success.

Leonardo Santamaria

Leonardo Santamaria is a first-generation Filipino-American freelance illustrator. In addition to producing commercial work, his paintings are regularly exhibited at galleries across the U.S. He currently lives and works in the Los Angeles area.

Santamaria often uses his art to advocate against Asian hate however one paintings of his specifically interested me for this project. This is his painting Dissociation. Although dissociation and depersonalization are different they often come hand in hand. its Santamaria's composition that I like most, the fluidity and movement within it shows how dissociation feels to him. He shows the anguish and contrasts between his sense of self and how he does not feel like one person within a body. The colour palette is dark and blue, his skin holds little colour. I like how he portrays dissociation as something fluid. its not just one state of not being connected but many, we fade and melt into these different states of being.

Shame (Part 1)

My mother and I had a heart-to-heart.

I apologized to her profusely for being a bad son. I was bawling yet again, saying that I was sorry that I had been a constant stressor for so many years.

I knew better. I was just being selfish. I was being a freeloader. In Tagalog, we call those people "palamunin", a harsh word to describe someone who is able-bodied but lazy, consciously leeching off the generosity of their benefactors.

Now that I WANT to change and take control of my life, to finally contribute positively to this household, I am struggling to breathe and fearing almost everything. I feel so ashamed because I have now realized how old they are. And I am so ashamed for wasting my youth.

Yes, people will say that youth is to be enjoyed. Still! I could have done the mature, practical thing and worked while having fun, and not be a hedonist. I could have found balance. If I could throttle my self-centered self back then and make him realize the bleak future. Nothing is guaranteed, folks. I lost my insightful ability and just followed my desires. I didn't listen to my better judgments. I did not foresee having health issues at this point in my life. Now, I pray to have strength every day to make it up to the people still supporting me.

Especially to my parents, who are in their 50s, and are still working to give a stable future for the rest of their kids. I feel so freaking useless.

IT IS NOT FAIR TO THEM.

As a grown-ass eldest child, I should be the first one they rely on. I should be the one who is the most dependable. I should be the one that helps lift this family. I should be the one strong enough to carry on and help fix our problems. Instead, I am the one causing them. I am the one draining their resources for food and medicine. I. AM. SO. ASHAMED.

My parents told me to rest and gain strength, but my mind and conscience would not have any of it! I'm done resting. I'm done taking it easy. Each time I spend here resting, (note that rest does not cure my breathing, nor my mental struggles), my mind anxiously berates me for being a low-life waste: that every hour I lay in bed or stay in the house hoping I recuperate, my father and mother with gray hairs are out there facing stress. Doing simple house errands isn't enough. It is time-consuming and takes most of my energy, but it does not help them substantially.

WHAT KIND OF A SON AM I?

Cover Art | Queen of the Tiles by Hanna Alkaf

They Wish They Were Us meets The Queen’s Gambit in the world of competitive Scrabble when a teen girl is forced to investigate the mysterious death of her best friend a year after the fact when her Instagram comes back to life with cryptic posts and messages. CATALYST 13 points noun: a person or thing that precipitates an event or change When Najwa Bakri walks into her first Scrabble competition since her best friend’s death, it’s with the intention to heal and move on with her life. Perhaps it wasn’t the best idea to choose the very same competition where said best friend, Trina Low, died. It might be even though Najwa’s trying to change, she’s not ready to give up Trina just yet. But the same can’t be said for all the other competitors. With Trina, the Scrabble Queen herself, gone, the throne is empty, and her friends are eager to be the next reigning champion. All’s fair in love and Scrabble, but all bets are off when Trina’s formerly inactive Instagram starts posting again, with cryptic messages suggesting that maybe Trina’s death wasn’t as straightforward as everyone thought. And maybe someone at the competition had something to do with it. As secrets are revealed and the true colors of her friends are shown, it’s up to Najwa to find out who’s behind these mysterious posts—not just to save Trina’s memory, but to save herself.
