Palestinian artist Fathi Ghaben passed away yesterday at the age of 77, at Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, while awaiting permission from Israel to leave Gaza to receive proper medical care.
Fathi was born in the village of Hirbiyya, just outside the strip, in 1947.
Together with his family, Fathi was displaced in 1948 and ended up in Jabalya refugee camp, where he lived until his passing. Where Hirbiyya used to be, now stands Kibbutz Karmiya. Just imagine living as a refugee your whole life while your original home is just 10km away.
have you guys heard abt 'meet me halfway' by this really underground band the 'black eyed peas'? the futuristic theme and electronic sounds will blow your mind and make you wish you were on whatever planet they're producing their music from
when I was 9 I had a friend who loved the black eyed peas and I didn't know the first thing about music so I thought they were really underground, edgy, futuristic like they were producing music straight from another galaxy. to this day I still can't see them as pop icons they're my old friend's bandcamp find with 2 listeners from outer space
realized i never shared my rot series from beginner's ceramics 🍊 obviously pretty wonky + some cracking and weird glaze stuff, but i really loved every step of the process <3 hoping i get to do it again sometime
platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine
lolllll at my job interview last week I was like 'oh btw I noticed you said you were waiting for two ppl to send you their resume, will this be a team role? 🤗' and they were like 'lol no it actually means you have to send us the name of two of your references, we will be waiting for that asap' not my proudest moment
