The violent repression of student protestors at NYC colleges is the direct result of decades of over-policing and policies allowing for the creating of a surveillance (city) state.

Biden says the ICC can’t try Israel for War Crimes against Palestinians
The Biden administration is claiming the International Criminal Court has no jurisdiction to charge Israeli officials for war crimes. This comes amid reports that the ICC may be close to issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials, as well as members of Hamas. State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel spoke on Monday.
Vedant Patel: “Since this president has come into office, we have worked to reset our relationship with the ICC, and we are in contact with the court on a range of issues, including in connection to the court’s important work on Darfur, on Ukraine, on Sudan, as well. But on this investigation, our position is clear: We continue to believe that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over the Palestinian situation.”
The U.S. has long criticized the ICC, but last year President Biden ordered U.S. agencies to share evidence with the court after it issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin after invading and occupying Ukraine.
On Capitol Hill, a number of lawmakers — both Republicans and Democrats — threatened to retaliate against the ICC if it takes action against Israel. Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said, “It would be a fatal blow to the judicial and moral standing of ICC to pursue this path against Israel.”
Summary: So this may be an implied threat in that the US has a law in the book called The Hague Invasion Act. This is not good. Note that they are issuing warrants to Hamas members as well since the ICC focuses on individual acts instead of widespread national acts. The ICC/J has a perception issue(always had one honestly). We have seen it online, in 4K, posted by the War Criminals themselves.

The US government and Zi*nists really want us all to cheer on genocide. They all really want us to be like "Go, Isr*el!" and be happy that our money is going towards killing thousands, including children. They want us to believe that what H*mas did was equivalent to what Isr*el is doing right now for not only the past 6 months straight but also the last 75 years. If they got rid of all Palestinians they want us to be completely fine with that. They've given a whole new meaning to antisemitism which has nothing to do with actual antisemitism but have absolutely nothing to say about anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment. They, like always, want us to lose our humanity give in to the capitalist colonialist machine and we're not going along with the program.

PALESTINIAN KUFIYA RAFFLE!!
I am raffling off TWO authentic kufiya’s from Palestine!! I know they are almost always sold out and I was generously sent 2, so I figured I would try to raffle them off and help a Gazan family at the same time 🤍🇵🇸
HOW TO ENTER:
Donate the equivalent of €10 (or more) to Hani’s gofundme! This is a vetted gofundme (and a friend of my dear Elios @fallahifag 🤍) and Hani needs help getting his family out of Gaza.
Once you donate send me proof of your donation and I’ll enter your username into the raffle.
EVERY €10 DONATED COUNTS AS AN ENTRY (so if you donate €10 that is one entry, €20 is two entries, etc)
My possibly out-of-reach goal is to not choose a winner until Hani’s gofundme reaches at least €10,000. I will reevaluate if that goal isn’t being reached in a reasonable amount of time. I will use a random generator to choose two winners- you must be comfortable enough to give me a name/address to mail it to if you win. It’ll basically just be first come first serve for who gets which kufiya.
Please keep donating and FREE PALESTINE 🤍🇵🇸

This isn't urgent or anything but if anyone wants to send money so I can survive back in South Africa that'd be helpful. Unlike usual I'm not living with family and need physical cash when I'm moving around on the bus/taxi system so I need to withdraw that money this side, thank you <3

when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes

When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on"
When the Good Place said “Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.”
When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“

Chuck Jone's rules for good animation
All living creatures, fictional or not, have anatomy. Equally true of an amoeba, an angle worm, a mastodon , and a Grinch.
If you want believability in your characters, you must have visual consistency. In animation, each character must move according to its own anatomical limitations: Daffy duck must move with Daffy Duck’s anatomy, Donald Duck with Donald Duck’s structure. The amoeba’s anatomy seems to have only one restriction - its bulk; like an inflated baloon, it can vary its shape, but it cannot change its volume. That is, if you want a believable amoeba
All animals - humanized animals or animalized animals - must appear to stand, walk , run or skip under the stablizing pressure of gravity in order to achieve believeability
There is no sympathy without believability, no real laughter without sympathy.
In the sympathetic recognition of any character there must be some evidence of one’s own self, one’s own weaknesses, one’s own mistakes, no matter how well self-concealed, buttoned down or pigeonholded.
The flimmaker as well as the viewer must be able to find the character within himself. We cannot fashion personalities from what we SUPPOSE another person to be.
If you start with character, you probably will end up with good drawings. If you start out with drawings you will almost certinly end up with limited characters, caught in the matrix of your limited drawing. Therefore…
It is not what or where a character is, nor is it the circumsances under which he finds himself that determine who he is. It is only how in a unique way he responds to that enviorment and those circumstances that identifies him as an individual. hopefully, an interesting character becomes interesting because of that uniqueness among his contemporaries.
For identity, you do not DRAW differently, you THINK differently. It is the WHO of the character , not the WHAT that counts. Walk- through circus clowns depend upon WHAT they look like for their brand of comedy. That is WHAT they are. Comedians depend upon HOW they move for comedy and pathos - their wonderful who-ness.
As the writer John Buchan said, you will never succeed in playing a part unless you convince yourself that you are it.
Animation means to invoke life, not to imitate it.
no great children’s book, film or fable was ever written for children. It was written for the witer, the artist , the flimmaker. Again, the mark of any ’ great work ’ for children, from one by Beatrix Potter to a book br Dr. Seuss , can be easily identified: if it can be read with pleasure by adults it is probably a very good, possibly a great, childrens book.
you cannot write DOWN to an audience or to your subject. you must write UP to them with the certainty that you cannot ever do justice to your subject, but must bend every creative nerve and muscle of your heart and brain to its full capacity in an attempt to do so.
The least you owe an audience is the best you can do
No art form can exist without restrictive disciplines. Most of the great paintings in history have been caught in the terrible discipline of the rectangle. The flimmaker finds himself trapped in the exact and severe disciplines of both the rectangle an time. Most cinema features are in a time warm of 90 to 120 minutes, most animated cartoon shorts in a confinement of 6 minutes.
You must not complain of your restrictions. If you cannot live with them, find a discipline you can live with.
——————-
Above is a section from Chuck Jone’s book Chuck Reducks. I’ve bolded some of my favorite and most inspirational rules. Forgive me some spelling errors. I was staring at the book while I was typing so I wasnt really watching the screen haha.
