Ageless Sentinels

RIP 2012

Okay guys, 2013 is going to fucking rule. I have a really good feeling about this one. I believe in astrology and tarot and all that stuff. I had my aura read once and it told me that I was going to have a rocky romance. Well, I actually had three, but that was pretty weird that the lady told me that. Anywho, let’s get this year started right! Put on MGMT and dance with me! Wherever you are!

The countdown to the new year brings more brutality in Gaza. Israel is banning thirty-seven aid organizations at midnight, January 1 2026.

Even though the October ceasefire agreement stipulated that 600 trucks of aid must enter Gaza every day, Israel has blocked an average of 300-500 trucks per day. Now Israel is banning aid from all over the world on the basis that these organizations refused to submit lists with detailed information on all of their Palestinian employees.

I know that it's impossible to truly comprehend the enormity of death and destruction in Gaza. We cannot wrap our minds around the numbers of the martyred, injured, displaced, homeless, and starving.

Perhaps simplifying and presenting in fractions might help. Imagine being in a room of 33 people. Half are children. Now imagine an explosion hits. One of those people is dead. Three are disabled by injury. 30 of you discover your homes are destroyed.

Ahmed is one of the children. His home is destroyed, and his family is living in a tent that has been repeatedly flooded by winter storms. They have all been sick for weeks and unable to recover because they cannot afford medicine. He is disabled but there is no treatment left in Gaza. He has only raised €6,131 so far, because only 295 people have donated to him.

In 2025, Ahmed has been forcibly displaced multiple times, making the distance by foot while carrying all of his belongings because his family could not afford fuel. He has been starved and shot at while trying to get food. He has been denied access to clean water for months. He has been kept up with gunfire, floods, and illness.

Now Israel is banning aid organizations. Every time aid is blocked, the price of supplies soars. Price gouging reaches incomprehensible levels as dying people pay anything for enough food to survive another day.

Please, please help Ahmed (@ahmedaldani333) and his family escape. Things are going to get worse in the new year, and I fear deeply for him and his family.

With the arrival of the New Year, everyone is happy, watching television, feeling warm and safe, and eating sweets. But here in Gaza, we are sad, cold, hungry, tired, and sick because we have no basic necessities. We have no healthy food, no bread, and no safe place to live. We are sitting in our completely torn tent, without a roof. It's about to collapse because its poles are broken, and the weather today is bitterly cold and harsh.

We need your help. Please donate so we can repair our tent, buy healthy food and medicine, and escape this suffering. Please, please, help us and donate to us.

Please help in whatever way you can!

Please help Ahmed and his family with their vetted campaign

You know Ahmed’s story already, and you know you can help by reblogging + donating. Happy new year 🎈

mychart loves to send you eight emails that you need to use 2 factor authentication to view in the webapp that say like "You went to the doctor Today."

Hey y'all -- I'm making this post on behalf of Sami and his family, who are currently suffering from hunger in Gaza. Their fundraiser is currently at 87%. In a world where food is so abundant it's truly terrible for some people to go without. Even by donating something small, you can help someone in buying a bag of flour to make bread for their children.

If you can't donate please circulate Sami's fundraiser -- anything helps! Thank you so, so much for even reading. FUNDRAISER.

Trump's meeting today will talk about what happens after the war in Gaza ends, and at the same time Netanyahu says we will occupy Gaza and destroy it completely, and this will take more than two years. Donate here to help me.

Stop using the word degenerate to mean horny challenge

When you say "degenerate art" do you know what you're fucking invoking

Some random guy in the "degenerate art exhibition" in Germany in 1937 idk it's probably not important

Yeag

I’m really glad to see people are actually discovering who Max Nordau was now. You can read a copy of Degeneration online here https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/51161/pg51161-images.html

It is a horrific book which is responsible for so much bloodshed and misery but just know that every time you use the term ‘degenerate’ or ‘degeneracy’ to refer to a person or thing you don’t like you’re continuing the legacy of Max Nordau and engaging in fascist rhetoric. It is a word which has no place in the modern lexicon especially as a joke

FINAL batch of attacks I did for Art Fight this year!! Thanks for lookin at all of these, I had a blast making so much art for people! :D

Attacks for, in order: @lisdoonvarna || @UnreadGorgon575 || @suburbanmallwalking || @/tikkunhayam || @tubularlizard || @toadstool32 || @nekoglycerin || @/your0average

its kinda insane that hyperstylization of skinniness is seen as artistically neutral but hyperstylization of fatness immediately denotes it as "fetish material". this isnt even to say it can't be fetish-based, but that it isnt allowed to be neutral unlike skinniness where super exaggeration is just an artistic choice, a style, not a representative of reality and presumed to just be another way to depict skinniness in a recognizable way for the artist's style. but if you place emphasis on a fat character's body features in a specific way, it can only be a fetishistic caricature? not a way to explore the shapes of a body or to experiment with perspective or whatever else you might say about a skinny character?

<< ART FIGHT ATTACKS 40/40

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

you know, maybe the internet shouldn’t be controlled by payment processors and terf lobbyists. and maybe people should be more concerned about this rise of censorship on queer media.

just to help spread accurate and helpful info about this as much as possible.

itch have less than 25 employees, and are just the latest target of a long running campaign to get payment processors to crack down on NSFW and LGBTQIA+ content (which the right wing hate campaigns see as one and the same) please blame itch as little as possible, yes they capitulated here, but they have very little power in this arrangement and have always been on the right side in the past. Hell, Steam have also complied, and they have way more power, and way more revenue from NSFW games, if they could have fought back they would have done. this is not a betrayal from itch, no matter how disappointing it may be.

the group claiming responsibility here are "Collective Shout" who claim it took roughly 1000 phonecalls to mastercard to get them to comply. They have the current admin and culture war momentum on their side, but we have way more than 1000 people on ours.

Mastercard (US): +1-914 249-2000 Mastercard (Int.): +1-636-722-7111 Visa (US + Can): +1 (650) 432-3200 Visa (AUS): 1 800 125 440 PayPal: +44-0203-901-7000

Mastercard (Aus): 1800-120-113 Mastercard (US): 1-800-307-7309 Mastercard (UK): 0800-96-4767

there are also some petitions gaining momentum, but phonecalls are probably going to be more effective in this case.

This is a big blow for comic artists, who have vanishingly few venues left to post work with adult content (and remember, the groups responsible for this don't distinguish between "nsfw" and "queer") for sale online.

It's gotten demonstrably worse over the past decade, and right wing groups and credit card processors are the ones responsible.

Gonna start uploading these in groups or this is gonna take forever!
