it is perfectly okay to take a break from reality. I am allowed to step into the void or perhaps an alternate dimension for a moment when things get overwhelming

Another round beaded object. I have one more round thing in progress and then it will be time for something else. I have another idea I need to explore.
Untitled.
I'm not sure what to call this one. So much has happened in the last week, distilling it down into a few words is hard.
Anyway, this is the final round beaded object for a bit. I've started work on some other ideas I have.
i need people to understand that fundamentally when I say I want to watch something I mean that i will probably not watch that within the next 6 months but I think about it often

the genocide is now as bad as it has ever been and more undeniable than it has ever been. israel is doubling down on starving every gazan and destroying every remaining piece of infrastructure until they leave. and humanitarian workers who have had access to gaza before - including WFP, WCK, UNICEF are being prevented from gaining access by israel. if you've ever seen images of kids with pots clamoring at kitchens that usually accompany articles on "looming famine in gaza" (as though it is a natural disaster and not an imposed famine by israel in gaza) then you should know that those kids have been showing up and finding nobody there, because the stores have run out and the volunteers are being prevented from access. now is the time to talk about gaza, and more importantly now is the time to point the finger at the state of israel that is committing genocide openly, audaciously, hatefully
every time massive wildfires break out in Israel, I just remember that the JNF (Jewish National Fund) has been planting non-native pine trees in Palestine for decades now. The JNF has been using greenwashing to disguise the colonial origins and aims of its organization. Sometimes, the trees are planted directly on top of depopulated Palestinian villages. These pine trees, being non-native to Palestine's environment, are very flammable. Just a couple things to think about while we look at the news of these wildfires.
Just heard that India attacked Pakistan and Kashmir? And that they attacked a civilian area, including a mosque which so far has resulted in the death of 3 civilians including a CHILD!?
As if the world hasn't already seen so much civilian death and destruction!?
