"Tirazain is a digital archive and library with the aim to document and preserve Palestinian embroidery.

.منصة طرازين هي أرشيف ومكتبة رقمية هدفها الحفاظ على تصاميم التطريز الفلسطينية التاريخية

While participating in tatreez initiatives, we noticed a recurring challenge: limited access to high-resolution, easy-to-follow and affordable patterns. This obstacle is especially pronounced in underserved communities who often rely on photos of patterns shared via social media which are typically pixelated, cropped or black and white. This access inequality is further exacerbated by the fact that Palestinians in the Arab world are often excluded from international museums where tatreez knowledge is shared. In other words, access to tatreez knowledge has become a privilege.

أثناء مشاركتنا في مبادرات التطريز، لاحظنا تحديًا متكررًا: الوصول المحدود إلى تصاميم عالية الدقة وسهلة المتابعة وبأسعار معقولة. هذه العقبة واضحة بشكل خاص في المجتمعات التي غالبًا ما تعتمد على صور تصاميم التطريز التي تتم مشاركتها عبر وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي والتي تكون عادةً غير واضحة أو غير مكتملة أو بالأبيض والأسود. كما أن الفلسطينيين في العالم العربي غالبًا ما يتم استبعادهم من المتاحف العالمية حيث تتم مشاركة المعرفة بالتطريز. بعبارة أخرى، أصبح الوصول إلى معرفة التطريز امتيازًا"

the real source of the fentons research money is the fact they invented the first truly bear proof trash cans (tested on jack)

Figured I'd share, in the mega video, I had an ending planned where i would try and address the most stubborn and annoying counter argument i (correctly) anticipated getting of "it's a BOYS show, so the GIRLS don't matter, stay in your lane and go watch Lego friends!"

And I would be like "if only there were a way to tell what Lego's target audience is for Ninjago. Like, what would the typical ninjago fan as created by lego look like? Oh wait, they have that. It's on the lego life app for little kids, where they have a model fan to get kids interested in ninjago. And guess what? It's me. It's literally me. I did a collab with lego, because they wanted a model adult fan to make some posts about lego ninjago to get kids excited about the show, and embody the ninjago fan experience. You can not tell me ninjago doesn't care about female audience members like me, because they reached out to a female audience member (me) to help reach out to other female audience members like me. Your lego show does actually want to be woke, screw you, goodbye."

but I figured that wouldn't really convince anyone on the fence, and would come off as self important, which wouldn't help my case with those types of people so... I left it out.

what if i call nanami sir while i peg him then what

Hey guys since Huginn and Muninn are named after Odin's ravens for a separated au where Draxum has 2 of the boys it'd be cool if the boys were named Geri and Freki after Odin's wolves methinks.... and the ravens had a mutually beneficial relationship with the wolves bc the ravens could find prey and the wolves could take down the prey so that'd be a cool dynamic to explore right

an angle that i can't remember anybody pointing out abt Gideon re: christ allegory is the idea of Wake as Mary conscious of what her role entails. Mary conscious of and accepting of the sacrifice her child will be used for.

she's visited by one of god's lyctor's – directly contacted by Mercymorn with an opportunity – and outside her interactions w G1deon, she's the only one of them Wake ever meets. in the bible, the angel who visits Mary is the same angel that directs the wise men to seek Mary and Jesus out in Jerusalem, which adds a more sinister parallel to Mercy being the one to direct G1deon to Wake's location over the Ninth.

Wake has no direct interaction with John/God until after she’s already dead, and therefore Gideon’s conception is, like Mary’s conception of Jesus, almost completely separate from God at all, except that the resulting child will be his biologically (or spiritually in Jesus’ case).

she takes a literal journey while heavily pregnant to reach the Ninth, and has to give birth in less than ideal conditions and surroundings. and the story diverges further from there, because instead of being visited and given gifts for her child’s birth, she’s attacked, betrayed, and murdered before she can complete the mission she did any of this for.

(one could argue that G1deon and Pyrrha’s role in this allegory is both that of the wise men (keeping up three separate identities = three wise men right? g1deon, pyrrha, and the Saint of Duty all visited on her in one form. much to think on) – but also of Joseph (especially given Pyrrha tells John in HTN that she didn't tell him abt Wake's pregnancy because she assumed the child was hers, and upon finding out Gideon isn't hers, she's obviously conflicted abt it, but inevitably settles on wanting to be a parent/parental figure to her despite the truth and the complexities of Wake's actions) but that’s just a whole Can of Worms, because we know very little of what actually went down during their interaction leading up to the airlock, so we’ll just let the concept lie there for the moment.)

Wake conceives, carries, and gives birth to Gideon, the distanced but biological child of God, knowing she’ll be used as a sacrifice, knowing through trial and error that the only viable method for this plan to work is through carrying the child herself. she does it all under the faith that if she does it all correctly, if she works hard enough, toughs it out, it will all be worth it. arguably, she never sees the Tomb fully opened, but she sees it breached.

another fun tidbit from this train of thought is the idea that her niece is named Our Lady of the Passion, a tangential name for the Virgin Mary in some sects of catholicism. beyond death, Wake’s belief in her mission to rid the universe of John and the Houses, her passion, as it were, is once again present in Pash, who is not exactly present when the Tomb is opened, but is around and conscious enough of her connections and roles to realise her dang cousin is also hanging around on the same planet her aunt died on. excited to see whatever dynamic she and Gideon develop in atn, Muir willing.

Ok so I have a theory about the season 1 finale.Crabgrass was mentioned multiple times in the series. I think she is gonna return in this gen.As you might know she was a shapeshifter.Lagoona mentioned that one of her tv shows resembles their school year a lot except for shapeshifters.Clawdeen then dismissed the whole thing and they all looked at each other suspiciously then they laughed.I think this whole thing was foreshadowing Crabgrass's return.She is gonna take someone's place and fool the crew.I also think she'll work with Catarina Stripe and they will try to stop the crew from saving Clawdeen's mom.But I actually have another theory about Crabgrass.I think this Crabgrass and g1 one are the same and she will be the one that connects the two realities together in a crossover.

it's not great, but

couldn’t decide if I wanted to post pics or a video 🤷🏻‍♀️ but this is why i’m late to work

Just thinking of Michael being the victim of the Bite of ‘87 because his brother’s ghost was angry and wanted revenge.
