Solidarity call:
divyampersaud.com Dr. Divya 🇵🇸🧿 (offline) @divyampersaud.com · 6d
We're up to 18 pledges as support hits a record low for Ruaa and her family. Can you and your family pledge a weekly or monthly 5 for Ruaa? Their survival shouldn't rely on whether the Bluesky mods are racist or not.

A challenge for us. You know Ruaa (now DELETED, itsmeio.bsky.social) relies on this app to feed her family. Asking for help was already so degrading + she barely has internet. So...how many $5 weekly pledges can we get by Friday to ensure help even when banned?

Mary Hewes Hinckley (1845-1944) was a US herpetologist who made important contributions to the study of frogs in North America.
She is attributed as the author of the description of Fowler's Toad (Anaxyrus fowleri) as a distinct species.

A sepia portrait of a young white woman with a pensive expression and eyes lost in thought. She has her hair up in an elaborate braid crown bun. A serious toad resting on a wooden surface. His skin is light yellow and greyish with a spotted pattern of brown, olive green, and rust red colors with darkened warty spots. He looks pensive.

Red Jordan Arobateau (1943-2021) was an African American trans man, author, playwright, poet, & painter. 🏳️‍⚧️
This is Holy Communion, Self Portrait II, 2008.
His expressionist self-portrait features symbolic motifs of spirituality, religion, social issues & pets – components typical of his paintings.
A colorful, abstract self-portrait of a middle-aged Black man with short hair and a trimmed beard, painted in bold paint brushes of blue, green, purple, and pink, posing next to a grey kitten cuddling around the man's right arm. The man is almost looking back at the viewer, but his gaze seems lost in thoughts. There are almost surreal symbols around them. On the left there seems to be a group of people, maybe reflecting a social movement. On the other side there is a framed blue and green sphere, maybe an allegory to planet Earth. In front of him there's a typewriter, that he's using, uncomfortably because of the kitten. He is wearing a purple shirt, that in the painting has an openness to his chest, which appears scarred or bleeding, an element that makes me think or religious motifs, like Santo Tomás incredulity, or Santa Águeda, but also of his trans experience, like a spiritual conciliation. The corner is signed A'08.

In a room with plastic sheeting for walls and cardboard for a floor, three young Palestinian boys gather round their father, who is crouching down and holding a cake with the number '2026' on it. The youngest boy looks enchanted by the cake but the older two are struggling to smile.

Rita Kernn-Larsen (1904 – 1998) was a Danish surrealist painter.
Autoritratto (Conosci te stesso), Self-Portrait (Know Thyself), 1937.
#WomensArt
The inside of the artist mind, or self, a red, calm scene, a tree of mouths, a grey altar with a human seated with the head turned back. She's barefoot, and the shoes, black heels, are outside of the altar. There's also a shell-shaped object on the opposite corner.

Mohammad Jarghoun
Murdered October 7th 2023
A nice black and white illustration. He stands in the middle, looking back at the viewer, with a warm smile. There's a starry sky behind him, and a flowing cloud with text inside, reading: like many others, he should be here today. He was a journalist who was loved. He was human -. he was martyred whilst doing his job. We cannot sit and watch as the death toll rises. Palestinians deserve to live, to be free, to dream under the stars without fear, to roam their lands without a bullet following them, they deserve to see their children grow up and so much more. Free Palestine in this lifetime. End the occupation. We will always remember you, Mohammad Jarghoun. Murdered Oct 7th, 2013.

Autorretrato con familia, 1865.

An artist-at-work self-portrait, showing the artist at the center, looking back at the viewer, seated in front of her canvas where she's painting a portrait of a man, I imagine her father. Around her, a woman carrying a baby and a little girl are approaching to have a look.
