You sure can make difficult and political work if you’re up for it, but you’re not obligated to do everything ā€œthrough your art.ā€ You, the person, can also protect your neighbors and show up for your community however else you can. And it’s still good for you to make art besides!!

been applying since I got laid off, I’ve had rounds of interviews and got ghosted, and it’s been flat out rejections, and I no longer have any UI so it’s like shits fucked and whatever $ my shop brings in goes to bills, and attempting to wrangle CC debt. I dont have the juice to make comics rn tbh

Those of us not in LA: donate to bail funds. Support their actions openly and refuse to get into debates about what’s ā€œokayā€ in response to horrific state violence.

"Governments must fulfill their obligations under international law and stop enabling Israel’s crimes. We are undeterred. We will sail again. We will not stop until the siege ends and Palestine is free." - All quotes sourced from a statement from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition Media
comment in response to post
Demands include • An end to the illegal siege of Gaza • The immediate release of all abducted volunteers • The immediate delivery of humanitarian aid directly to Palestinians that is independent of the control of the occupying power • Accountability for the military assaults on Madleen & Conscience

"That unprovoked assault violated international law. Now, Israel has escalated again by targeting another peaceful civilian vessel. 'The world's governments remained silent when Conscience was bombed. Now Israel is testing that silence again,' said Tan Safi, another Freedom Flotilla organizer."
comment in response to post
"This latest act of aggression against the FFC follows the unpunished Israeli drone attack on our previous vessel, Conscience, which left four civilian volunteers injured and the ship disabled and burning in European waters. That unprovoked assault violated international law."
comment in response to post
"Israel is once again acting with total impunity. It has defied the International Court of Justice’s binding orders to allow unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza, disregarded the international laws protecting civilian navigation, and dismissed the demands of millions worldwide."
comment in response to post
"[Arraf continues:] 'These volunteers are not subject to Israeli jurisdiction and cannot be criminalized for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade—their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end immediately.'"
comment in response to post
"'Israel has no legal authority to detain international volunteers aboard the Madleen,' said Huwaida Arraf, human rights attorney and Freedom Flotilla organizer. 'This seizure blatantly violates international law and defies the ICJ’s binding orders requiring unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza.'"
comment in response to post
"The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargo—including baby formula, food and medical supplies—confiscated."

More info coming in: "The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) confirms that its civilian ship, Madleen, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, has been attacked/forcibly intercepted by the Israeli military at 3:02 am CET in international waters at 31.95236° N, 32.38880° E."
