Starving grad student running a small Redbubble shop (initially for side income, now for fundraising for my Palestinian friend). Made this blog to share my designs, found here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/fairiedance/shopMy best friend (an absolutely brilliant scientist and compassionate social activist, seriously the best person ever) is a Palestinian grad student studying in America, and a lot of his friends and family are being affected by the genocide in Gaza and the fallout in the West Bank and surrounding areas. I have started selling Palestine related designs in my shop. EVERYTHING I RAISE he sends to his loved ones to help in various ways as the situation progresses.Designs not related to Palestine have been removed from my shop for now (probably for good at this point).

A New Palestinian Key Design Featuring Poppies, Found Here. The Key Is A Common Symbol For The Right

A new Palestinian key design featuring poppies, found here. The key is a common symbol for the right of return.

As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop go to my Palestinian best friend to help him support his girlfriend in remaining safely in America until things calm down and to help his other loved ones around the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.

Some product examples:

Thank you so much to whoever bought the Free Palestine black metal shirt a couple days ago, I really enjoy that one and I was wondering if it was ever going to sell! I introduced the friend I am fundraising for to metal and it was a big thing we bonded over so it seems like a fitting design to raise money for him.

My friend will use the money to help support his girlfriend remaining safely in America until things calm down and to help his other loved ones around the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids in the West Bank (those have hit his extended family quite hard unfortunately) and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. I'm currently very worried about escalation in Lebanon and the impact that could have on the family he has there who have so far been relatively safe. Hoping things stay under control there. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with (he's such a sweet person, he's involved in so much charity work for so many different causes, Palestinian and otherwise). You can find all my designs here. Redbubble will display a random product, click on it to see all product options (shirts, stickers, notebooks, etc).

I want to thank everyone who has pitched in to help my best friend. For those who have not seen my posts my best friend in the world is Palestinian, and a lot of his friends and family all around the Levant are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries (West Bank stuff in particular has been rough for them). We're also on limited budgets as grad students, and I really don't want him to feel pressured to neglect school to support his family. He's an absolutely brilliant scientist and deserves to be able to focus on his research (as well as he can through the emotional toll this has taken of course). So, I'm selling Palestine related art and ALL PROCEEDS will go to him to help him get his loved ones through this. Honestly I didn't expect fundraising like this to do anything, but you all have been amazing!

I have a really happy update, his girlfriend should be arriving here in America imminently! You all helped pay for her flight and are helping cover their housing, so thank you so much! I really hope you are all enjoying the stickers, shirts, mugs and all the other stuff you have bought! From now on all money raised goes to supporting her stay here and continuing to give my friend the means to help his family back home. Anything he doesn't end up needing he is planning on donating to the various Palestinian charities he works with.

All designs above (and a ton more) are found here (Redbubble will show you a random product, click on each to see more product options). They're available on stickers, shirts, pins, and many other products. Some examples:

I'm Glad This Design Was Approved In Time For Today. It's The Winter Solstice, The Shortest Day Of The

I'm glad this design was approved in time for today. It's the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. Candles have for obvious reasons been associated with this day in many traditions throughout history. They're also associated with mourning and vigil. As we celebrate our various winter traditions, let's remember the millions of people in Gaza now facing the darkest day of the year without light (or food, water and shelter). As you light your candles let them serve also as vigil for those we have lost and the horrors the living still face. Around the candle I placed poppies, olives and an orange, all symbols of Palestine, along with a scrap of paper with the Arabic name (فلسطين).

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this design are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. The West Bank violence has been hitting his family particularly hard.

Approval of "controversial" designs (so everything related to Palestine) has been really slow this week. So I'm going to repost a few designs while I wait for my latest to be approved. My birds have been very well received so I'm going to start with them. Here are a couple birds associated with Palestine:

Approval Of "controversial" Designs (so Everything Related To Palestine) Has Been Really Slow This Week.
Approval Of "controversial" Designs (so Everything Related To Palestine) Has Been Really Slow This Week.

The left is the white-spectacled bulbul, common around the Levant. They are omnivores robust to urban life, and are known to be quite noisy. Fun fact, bulbul (بلبل) in Arabic actually is used to refer to nightingales as well. This was pointed out to me by an Indian friend because it's the same in Urdu apparently. In English the word has more limited use.

The right is a Palestine sunbird, the national bird as of 2015. They eat insects and nectar and kind of look like giant hummingbirds, though they are not at all closely related to them.

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from my designs are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

All designs found here (Redbubble will show you a random product, click on each to see more product options). My designs are available on shirts, stickers, hats, notebooks, magnets and many other things.

Here is a sample of other designs that have been selling well recently, shown here on stickers:

Masks for Protest Safety

I have seen a lot of people out protesting without masks. I want to point out that masks are not just for safety from illness! If you're at a protest that seems at risk of turning violent or being extra controversial in some way (being held in a hostile conservative area, for example) it is a very good idea to have a mask on you to avoid facial recognition software. Even if you don't do anything wrong there is always a chance law enforcement could give you a hard time for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time (particularly if you are a minority).

Other useful tips: Keep your phone turned off or carry a burner, wear long clothes to protect from chemical agents (and cover identifying tattoos), bring water (to wash eyes and drink), don't post photos of people without their consent, avoid contact lenses and eye makeup (due to pepper spray), don't carry anything you wouldn't want to get arrested with (drugs, valuables, etc), avoid loose hair and jewelry that can get caught or grabbed, write down (maybe on your skin) or memorize contact info for people you are with.

This post was prompted because I noticed throughout my fundraising that I have not sold any masks. This is totally fine, I've made plenty of other sales and stickers usually have the highest margins anyway. I do hope this means most of you are using keffiyehs or masks you have left over from Covid though! It's good to be safe (I'm always nagging the friend I'm raising money for to take more safety precautions at his protests, haha).

Here is a small sample of some of the masks I have:

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from these are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

The Watermelon First Emerged As A Symbol Of Palestine After The Six Day War In 1967. Israel Made Public

The watermelon first emerged as a symbol of Palestine after the six day war in 1967. Israel made public displays of the Palestinian flag illegal so Palestinians would circumvent the ban by using the watermelon, which has the same four colors. I figured it was about time I added a watermelon to my collection, it seems like every shop in this niche has their own version of it. Also the friend I am fundraising for absolutely adores watermelon, he'll eat a whole big one a day during the summer. We grabbed one last second for a hike one time and ate the whole thing with our bare hands out in the woods, it's a really nice memory. So this seems extra fitting.

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this design are for this Palestinian friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

You can buy this designs on various products (shirts, stickers, etc) here. All designs found here (Redbubble will show you a random product, click on each to see more product options).

I would also like to continue to advertise this poppy and this keffiyeh wearing kitten, since they have rapidly become some of my best sellers:

My friend is such a sweet person and it's been heartbreaking seeing him so constantly stressed out and sad these past couple of months. It's been really nice to be able to at least help with the financial burden. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out so far!

This Poem, If We Must Die By Claude McKay Was Written During The Red Summer, 1919. It Has Since Been

This poem, If We Must Die by Claude McKay was written during the Red Summer, 1919. It has since been adopted to represent many groups facing persecution. I pair it here with a field of poppies and a faint keffiyeh pattern, emblematic of the Palestinian struggle. I may make a more elaborate version in the future, I have some ideas. For now, this is available on stickers, shirts, prints, etc.

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. You can find this design here. All designs here. By the way you can change the color on the shirts if you don't like the white background.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed!

Bulbul with Palestinian Flag

When I asked my friend about birds from his home the first thing that came to mind for him was the bulbul.

Bulbul With Palestinian Flag
Bulbul With Palestinian Flag

This little guy is the white-spectacled bulbul, a medium-sized passerine described as "conspicuous and noisy". They're common around Palestine, my friend has many fond memories of them. I have just added this drawing of one holding a Palestinian flag to my shop.

As usual ALL PROCEEDS from this design will go to my Palestinian best friend to help him afford to bring his girlfriend over to America and to help his other loved ones around the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. You can find the design here printed on a lot of different products.

Also funny story when I first looked up bulbuls my friend wasn't checking too closely what photo I had up on my phone and I spent a long time believing the red-whiskered bulbul was from Palestine (it's not, it's from south Asia). So much so that I actually drew the wrong bird at first. Oops. So, I probably won't sell this guy because he doesn't make a lot of sense as a symbol for Palestine (maybe I'll repurpose him into an unrelated design after the war) but here you go, solidarity for Palestine from this lovely little tropical frugivore:

Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out so far, I really appreciate you. My friend is hunting now for a new living space to accommodate his partner when she gets here. Housing as a grad student is always a nightmare, I'm so grateful that you all are helping with the deposit. My friend is also doing his best to figure out help for his family back home (a chaotic situation, just getting in contact with some relatives has been a mess so far). I'll try to add some updates as things progress (as usual, vague to protect their privacy).

Trying Something A Little Different Here, At The Recommendation Of A Friend. Some People Use Stickering

Trying something a little different here, at the recommendation of a friend. Some people use stickering as a form of activism, you've probably seen it for one cause or another if you live in a big city. Most of my stickers are mainly meant to look nice, but I thought I would change it up a bit and make an informational one, with that use case in mind.

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. You can find this design here.

A few more typical sticker designs if that's more your thing:

A Minimal Poppy Design, Just An Open Source Image With Some Lettering I Thought Would Make For A Nice

A minimal poppy design, just an open source image with some lettering I thought would make for a nice water bottle sticker. This flower is common in Palestine and is often used as a symbol, representing the colors of the flag and blood shed upon the land.

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this design are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

A friend recommended I add more "cute" designs to appeal to a broader audience. So, here is a little cartoon kitten in a keffiyeh:

Cats Wearing Keffiyehs

Cats Wearing Keffiyehs

These designs are edits of two vintage Julie de Graag prints.

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from these designs are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

For now his girlfriend is safe, plans are underway and we hope to see her here in not too long. His immediate family is safe for now. Some of his extended family are not doing so well unfortunately. We likely won't know the extent of the harm until things calm down a little. I will keep posts vague to respect his privacy, but the stuff in the West Bank has hit them quite hard. They've also lost some friends in Gaza.

You can buy the designs above on various products (shirts, stickers, etc) here and here. All designs found here (Redbubble will show you a random product, click on each to see more product options). Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!

Wildcat Wearing Keffiyeh

Wildcat Wearing Keffiyeh
Wildcat Wearing Keffiyeh

This one was inspired directly by my Palestinian friend, he's a labor activist and he has done some incredible work in various unions (and non-union movements) over the years. He's nice enough to have put some serious time into labor organizing for free for employees of organizations he doesn't even work for just because he hates seeing people being treated unfairly. When I tell you he is the nicest person I have EVER met I really mean it. I actually met him through his labor activism.

As usual ALL PROCEEDS from these will go to this wonderful man to help him afford to bring his girlfriend over to America and to help his other loved ones around the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. The cat is found here and here (on shirts, stickers, notebooks, etc). All designs found HERE (click on each to see more product options).

For those not familiar, this is the black cat/wildcat/sabo-tabby, an old union symbol likely designed by IWW member Ralph Chaplin. It is associated with sabotage, wildcat (unprotected) strikes and other radical labor actions.

By the way, did you know that Israeli trade unions have historically fought against the Arab workforce?

Palestine Bird Designs

One of the first times I spoke with my friend (the one I am fundraising for) about Palestine he spoke so passionately about how birds represent freedom to him, as they come and go over the walls at will. Israel has caused absolute devastation to Palestine's wildlife, cutting off migratory pathways for land animals and destroying habitats. Birds (though still hurt by habitat loss of course) can pass over the barriers. Watching them fly across the walls is a bittersweet thing for those trapped within them. The flight of birds has represented freedom to so many cultures, but there's a certain extra emotional poignancy that comes with the symbolism for people who are trapped by the same barriers that the birds traverse with ease.

Of course this is not the only reason I make so many bird designs, doves are a standard symbol for peace and I'm also absolutely obsessed with birds in general, but the way my friend told it was very touching and I wanted to share. My various bird designs have gotten a lot of attention the last few days, so I'll compile all my birds so far in one place here:

Sticker Designs for Palestine

For those who haven't seen my posts yet, I am raising money for my Palestinian best friend. ALL PROCEEDS will go to help his loved ones through this war and to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America. He is the sweetest person in the world (and a truly brilliant scientist, like an actual genius) and he deserves so much better than this. All designs found here.

I'd like to point out now that my stickers generally have the highest profit margin, and if you buy 10+ you get half off all of them but I still receive the same amount (edit: nevermind, I think I still get a flat percentage but also the 50% sale is less than 50% if Redbubble is running another sale at the same time. Still, bulk always costs you less and I make a high percentage on stickers!). Here is a small sample of my stickers (including 3 I haven't posted here before):

All 66 and counting of my designs are available on stickers (among many other things) so check out the collection! Click on whatever product Redbubble shows you to see more product options. Thank you so much to the people who made purchases yesterday, and to everyone who helped share my work around! It was exciting seeing the shop get so much attention!

Honestly I am stressing the fuck out worrying about my friend and you all make me feel like I'm being useful so thank you, sincerely.
