Recs for best place to sell illustrations, posters and the like? I do these for fun and some of them are quite nice (if I may say so myself). I know the big ones like Etsy and co but I’m hoping for something that’s ethical while also being affordable for buyers
If that still exists

BREAKING - B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel call Israel's actions in Gaza genocide
Given how important Israeli voices are in this context for obvious reasons: we now have Israel's two leading human rights NGOs in addition to many of its leading Holocaust and Genocide scholars calling the IDF's actions in Gaza a genocide.
Watch the video and read the 88-pages report entitled "Our Genocide" here

I witnessed the IDF shooting at the crowds of Palestinians," Anthony Aguilar told the BBC. He added that he has never witnessed such a level of "brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population"
In the video shared you see an American soldier opening fire at Palestinians and then yelling 'I think you hit one!'
I have been saying this for months now: they are *literally* hunting human beings.

I know I haven't been as active on The Fire These Times or Hauntologies. Unfortunately, finances aren't the best these days so I'm spending more time looking for other sources of income. I'm hoping this isn't a permanent problem, but who knows.
Appreciate everyone's support!

Maybe it's a bad idea for the quasi-entirety of Western foreign policy to be dependent on one Israeli man and one American man

Perfect encapsulation of how the Gaza genocide is just another job in Israel. Banality of evil, just following orders, and so on. It’s so institutionalised most individual participants do not have to think about it too much. This is how you streamline mass murder.

I’m being told that the largest Mastodon instance - mastodon.social - is now hiding my profile.
One person telling me it’s because of German obsession with making up antisemitism where there is none.
Anyone who knows my work knows that I platform critical Jewish voices. My MA thesis was on Yiddish & Hebrew, I do memory studies which incl Holocaust studies, and I am co-producing a Jewish podcast by three radical Jews. I’m also a writer for 972mag.
So what’s up Mastodon? Am I too Arab for you?

Who is he talking to? As opposed to antisemitism being love? It’s by definition hatred. It’s like saying “we must finally call out white supremacists for what they are, fucking not cool”
One day after this mind-blowing speech Keir Starmer met with the Italian far right party that is the literal successor of Mussolini’s party.
Remind me y’all who Mussolini was allied with and what did he do to Italian Jews?

Just sharing coz this might be consequential. He’s currently the 3rd most popular candidate and there’s a chance he endorses Trump: RFK Jr has a body count with actual kids dying as a direct result of what he did. He faced no consequences and in many ways just benefited from it.
