Games of Strength, 1977

~

From Waddington’s

Part of the Cape Dorset Series,a collection of uncatalogued prints that do not appear in the annual graphics catalogue, except when taken from the archives. Sometimes called ‘Northern Editions,' these prints were, at outset, only sold in Cape Dorset. In this image pairs engage in different games to test strength. Such as ear tugging, which uses a piece of soft leather around the contestant’s ears; arm wrestling; and the tugging game, the objective of which is to pull your opponent off the ground.

Lmao how is this real, "the ambient sounds of the world were wrong, sir"

Concordia and McGill University students in Montreal, Canada have began an indefinite encampment to demand an end to the genocide in Palestine and divestment.

Students in over 56 universities in US, Britain, Australia, France, and now Canada have begun indefinite encampments.

Hi! I'm Decol!

TLDR: I can't work cuz I'm disabled meaning my trans gf is our family of 3's only income.

To try and help with bills, rent, and other needs I set a goal to try raising through Tumblr. It isn't much, but it's the help I can offer her so that's what I do.

Rn we're falling behind on rent and we get a late fee on the 5th, so if you can help out by sending anything to help us reach the goal before then we'd appreciate it!

From the Freedom Flotilla, April 27 2024:

On Thursday afternoon, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition was contacted by the Guinea Bissau International Ships Registry (GBISR), requesting an inspection of our lead ship – Akdenez. This was a highly unusual request as our ship had already passed all required inspections; nevertheless, we agreed. The inspector arrived on Thursday evening. On Friday afternoon, before the inspection was completed, the GBISR, in a blatantly political move, informed the Freedom Flotilla Coalition that it had withdrawn the Guinea Bissau flag from two of the Freedom Flotilla’s ships, one of which is our cargo ship, already loaded with over 5000 tons of life-saving aid for the Palestinians of Gaza. In its communication informing us of this cancelation, the GBISR made specific reference to our planned mission to Gaza. It also made several extraordinary requests for information, including confirmation of the ships’ destination, any potential additional port calls, and the discharge port for humanitarian aid and estimated arrival dates and times. It further demanded a formal letter explicitly approving the transportation of humanitarian aid and a complete manifest of the cargo. Again, this is a highly unusual move from a flagging authority. Normally, national flagging authorities concern themselves only with safety and related standards on vessels bearing their flag, and are not concerned with the destination, route, cargo manifests or the nature of a specific voyage. Just like when you register your car, the authorities don’t require you to detail to them every place you are going to go with the car. Sadly, Guinea-Bissau has allowed itself to become complicit in Israel’s deliberate starvation, illegal siege and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Israel is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International Humanitarian Law, UN Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice. [...] without a flag, we cannot sail. But, this is not the end. Israel cannot and will not crush our resolve to break its illegal siege and reach the people of Gaza. The people of Gaza and all of Palestine remain steadfast under the most horrific, unimaginable conditions. We take strength from their incredible, inexplicable ability to maintain their humanity, dignity and hope when the world has given them no reason to do so. It is our responsibility to keep that hope alive. WE WILL SAIL.

The Freedom Flotilla, which was set to depart from Turkey on the 27th of April with 5000 tons of life-saving aid, has now been delayed because Israel and the United States has pressured Guinea Bissau to withdraw its flag from the Flotilla's lead ship.

Seeing as how their tactics worked on Guinea Bissau, organizers now fear that Israel and the US will exert the same pressure on whichever country the Freedom Flotilla attempt to register their ship under next.

To help the Freedom Flotilla reach Gaza, please keep an eye out for further updates from the organizers. Right now, as of April 27th, they're asking people to help boost their visibility, and to donate to their member campaigns.
