I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question.
and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost.
Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half."
All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

If you follow me, you've seen me reblog things about the genocide in Palestine.
Let me be clear. I am NOT saying that all Jews are genocidal murders. I AM NOT.
What I am saying, is that Israel, the country/state/whatever the fuck - they are committing genocide against Palestinians. They are slaughtering people in an open air prison. People who can't escape. People who have no where to go. Israel told them to move South. They did. Then Israel bombed them there too.
Genocide is happening in real time. It infuriates me that our governments are helping it happen. It infuriates me that when I speak about saving Palestinians, I get the messages about 'well what about Hamas?' or 'then you're anti-Semitic'.
Israel is killing CIVILIANS. They aren't going in to track down the supposed 'bad guys' in a way that spares innocent lives. They're killing EVERYONE. They used enough explosives to equal the bombs that was used in Hiroshima! They used White Phosphorous - shit that will burn through your skin and flesh and, if you're lucky, it might stop burning through you when it reaches your BONES.
They bombed a hospital. They might have bombed another one overnight. They've killed UN members in Gaza. Journalists. Doctors. CHILDREN. They call Palestinians 'Human Animals'.
And don't tell me crap about tunnels under the city or shit like that. All that info comes from Israel. And I don't trust them one fucking bit. (also Israel monitors everything that goes in and out of the Gaza Strip - you really believe they wouldn't notice a shitton of construction equipment and supplies to build tunnels under ALL of Gaza? Give me a fucking break. Gaza is monitored 24/7, even before this current slaughter.)
Their story that started this, about 'Hamas beheading babies'? Proven False. The reporter lied, and the media ran with it. IT WAS A FUCKING LIE.
Did Hamas attack Israel? Yes. Did they kill people. Yes. Was it the amount Israel said? - who the fuck knows. No independent journalists are allowed in to check any of Israel's 'claims'.
I am watching genocide happen in real time and I am enraged and disgusted.
I honestly have no hope for humanity anymore. We don't learn from our history. We just create atrocity after atrocity and learn NOTHING.
Fuck this shit. Fuck Israel and their IDF. (Note that I am not saying fuck Jews. JFC people, Israel is not a religion. There are Jewish people against this genocide.)
