The insane amount of discourse and misinformation spreading online about the explosion at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital is just horrifying to me. There are so many people online trying to scream louder than everyone else whose fault it was in order to corrupt what is an absolutely heartbreaking tragedy into some kind of twisted political benefit.

To whoever didn't hear the news yet, hundreds of innocent people were killed yesterday when a missile fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad malfunctioned and fell on a hospital in Gaza. The event hasn't been independently investigated yet so we don't know for sure what happened yet.

But I truly can't comprehend how people could take such an awful awful tragedy and use it for some fucking political bonus. The people who immediately started spreading Hamas's claims that it was an Israeli airstrike that bombed the hospital, right alongside the people who used the fact that it was most likely the PIJ to attack Palestinians, celebrate Israel’s exoneration as if hundreds didn't die and say things like “Palestinians don't just kill Israeli children, they kill their own”.

Fuck every single one of you.

Can you, for once, not take advantage of tragedy for your own favor? Have you no fucking shame? Hundreds upon hundreds of innocent people lost their lives and the only thing you can think of is how you can make this benefit you? How desensitized have you gotten to human suffering that you can't just pay respect to the people who've been killed and the people who are in mourning and instead you use it to attack the “other side” immediately, baselessly, and shamelessly? Have you totally lost all trace of your humanity?

Still under the bed but very relaxed posture. Arthur is sleeping under there with him and I caught Kenny sniffing him

here is a book recommendation based on your favorite side:

janus - on earth we’re briefly gorgeous by ocean vuong (poetry that sings, so much sadness and honesty, but so much beauty hidden in the cracks, after you read this you’ll never see language the same way again.)

roman - a tree grows in brooklyn by betty smith (poignant, brilliant, joyful, and a testament to how the human experience seems so ordinary, but every single thing in it is packed with meaning, magic, and intention.)

virgil - the outsiders by s.e. hinton (lots of cool fighting scenes, but also a ton of social commentary. a book that reads easy, but makes you think so deeply the second you put it down.)

logan - the mysterious benedict society by trenton lee stewart (playful, undeniably, but also super witty and clever. all you smarty pants logan kinnies could probably use a break from textbooks. this book is the perfect one to break up the monotony of the action of reading.)

remus - lullabies for little criminals by heather o’neill (a gorgeously haunting story that asks all the difficult questions, exploring them through a lens of innocence and grotesquely terrifying curiosity. reads like a children’s book, with material that is extremely adult.)

this whole oceangate submarine fiasco has actually led to a lot of interesting talks and debates about the grey area of human empathy vs the inclination to recoil at the bizarre behaviors of the ultra wealthy and how people struggle with both ideas and is actually very interesting to watch play out in different types of people

This is maybe the piece I’m most proud of from my time on Across the Spiderverse. This is the original design for what became collider in Mumbattan. Before story changes Spot was looking for a “dark matter containment unit” . I pulled from some traditional Indian architecture, the temple at auroville and the giant Japanese Neutrino detector. Working though this was very challenging but rewarding. 2 and a half years later and I’m still proud of this one. And lol yes it does have Glados vibes which I realized after I made it 😂. I’ve also included some exploratory sketches and center piece designs

i like how most usernames on discord are already taken so you end up having to put numbers at the end of your name anyway. if only there was already a system in place that allowed people to have the same name but there was something to differentiate them like number discriminators
