AMAZING interview with famed Palestinian scholar Salman Abu Sitta about how academia participates in the colonization of Palestine and how Israeli academics especially erase all ties of Palestinians to the land (renaming towns in Hebrew, locking Palestinian archives, and soooo much more).

yall im taking a ceramics class rn and if anyone wants me to make them a dishwasher and microwave safe mug or bowl(keeping in mind im a beginner) (though im getting quite good) with their choice of glaze (though my options have some limits), all the money from that will go to their choice of UNRWA, PCRF, esims, or another Palestinian charity.
ill ship them anywhere if you pay for shipping(understanding i can only do so much to keep it intact) and ill charge 25$ per item and an additional 20$ and hour if you want me to draw or etch designs of your choice. shipping to the West coast states of the US will be on me!
im willing to make three items total (right now) so three slots are open. DM TO COMMISSION ME! ill be using my sibling’s paypal.
also, side note, if you want me to make any other kind of art that is on my blog(patches, pins, watercolor, ink, ANYTHING) im so so willing to do that regardless of slots.

I wasn’t able to get the song out this week due to dental work and the fact i don’t have voice recording equipment, but i did make an olive branch stamp and wrote out the lyrics for yall.
also, donate to 90-ghost, the PCRF, and the WFC
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the words typed out are as follows:
Lullaby
Setting sun and olive trees,
laughter only children bring,
groves are burning, mothers weep,
as bombs are dropped on Gaza.
Cast in grey or wrapped in white,
who will keep them safe at night?
from the rubble; from the dust,
from bombs they drop on Gaza.
Palestine is still alive,
her people heave a weary sigh,
please listen to her children cry:
“They’re dropping bombs on Gaza!”
Who remembers, who forgets?
who makes sure they make their beds?
not their parents, they were killed,
family and friends as well.
Who is left once “Israel”,
stops dropping bombs on Gaza?
if anyone wants to help me sing this lemme know ok?
