An illustration by @reem.alsayed95 of a slice of watermelon in the shape of the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, loved as Palestine, currently being abused by occupation. A keffiyeh is wrapped around the watermelon, and the words “don’t stop talking about Palestine” in all caps, surround the graphic in a descending zigzag. Background is blank.

Provoca muchas preguntas. ¿Por qué motivo suplantarían este bello parque con una enorme construcción? ¿Quienes se benefician, si no son los residentes? ¿Que pasará con toda la flora y fauna que habita el parque?
Ave silvestre que habita la zona del parque La Venta. Se trata de una Cormorán del Trópico, perchado sobre la rama de un árbol. El cielo detrás nublado. El ave también de tonos grisáceos y sepias, alas oscuras y con un pico largo, de punta ganchillo con un poquito de tono anaranjado en su base.

Uno de los monumentos que más me impresionó fue este, que revela el proceso artístico de los escultores. Presenciarlo es más que educativo, dentro del contexto del bosque la escultura se transforma en un diálogo de emociones e ideas de una manera que un museo imposiblemente logre replicar.
Monumento de escultura Olmeca preservado en estado posiblemente (o intencionalmente?) incompleto. Una roca redonda de tamaño inmenso, color pizarra oscuro como de basaltos. Su superficie es tallada en todas sus facetas, del lado frontal se logra vislumbrar los comienzos de un boceto del rostro, muchos trazos sin completarse. La roca se sitúa sobre un pedestal y rodeado de jungla tropical.

We use this opportunity to promote the No Thanks app, which works to identify genocide supporters and opportunists before you give them money.

Screen capture illustration from the home screen of the NoThanks App. The illustration is of the al-Aqsa mosque, and a child in the foreground wears a kufeya and embroidered vest is waving a Palestinian flag. Background the rays of a green sun and gradient blue shape of the north part of the occupied territory of Palestine. To the left of the mosque is the logo of the No Thanks! App: green square with the words NO! THANKS in white type all caps. Below the mosque three protestors are on the edge of the image waving thei hands, peace signs in the air. Message screen from the app: Pale green background with black text that reads; Eid Mubarak (crescent moon emoji) To all who are celebrating, we wish you peace, strength, and joy. But as we gather with loved ones, we remember those in Gaza who are still suffering. This Eid, let's stand in solidarity and keep the spirit of resistance alive. (White heart emoji) Keep the boycott strong. Keep caring.

Foto de un parqueo en Francia donde se observa que cuatro coches Tesla se han quemado completamente dejando solo el esqueleto de sus estructuras. Unos de los vehículos en el parqueo no presentan daños. Al fondo un edificio comercial, en un gris aburrido.

Considering how much money and effort is put into trying to get us to regret ourselves and hate our own identity, and considering how having children is lauded as a mark of success in a capitalist society and supposedly grants social status; this is remarkable! #resistdisenchantment #noregrets
Infographic comparing rates of two demographics. above text reads (in bold italics): “1% of people regret their gender affirming treatment.” following the text a chart of 5 rows of 20 people icons color coded with the trans flag colors save for one black icon. below text reads (also in bold italics): “10% of people regret having children” chart below this another 5 rows of 20 people icons, these in mauve save for 10 icons in black. footnote in smaller font lists “sources: regret after gender affirmation surgery, national library of medicine / US adult sexual behaviors and attitudes study, march 2021” background of the graphic is a diagonal color gradient blending dim hues of pink cyan and purple.

Lyrics to a children’s song.
green text on blue background reads: I'm a wild, wild child When I listen to the music, I'm a wild, wild child When I'm clapping with my hands; I'm a wild, wild child When I'm singing and a-moving; Wild child, wild child, Dance because you can. Come on in! Come on in! There's a wild child in you When you're dancing with your friends! I'm a wild, wild child When I listen to the music, I'm a wild, wild child When I'm jumping like a clown; I'm a wild, wild child When I'm singing and a-moving; Wild child, wild child, Wave your hands around. Come on in! Come on in! There's a wild child in you Dance until the sun goes down.

heron and duck
a photo of a pond in late fall on a dim cloudy day. A great-blue heron (Ardea herodias) sits squatly under a log arching out of the water, symmetrically frames opposite the heron from the log a duck swims northward (possibly a black duck, Anas rubriceps). Vegetation in the foreground and background is dormant and withered. Perhaps it’s even perceptible how cold it is!

Free. Gaza. Now.
The railing of a bridge over a river with the words FREE GAZA NOW in faded script above a faded sticker of a Palestine flag. GAZA has been crossed out and rewritten. In the background linden trees on the riverbank are bent and leaves that haven’t fallen are bright yellow above a buckthorn thicket. Across the river through the trees are some brown apartment brick buildings.
